Study Notes
Blood Vessels and Blood Types
- Veins carry impure blood back to the heart.
- Arteries transport pure blood away from the heart.
- Common carotid arteries supply blood to the face, head, and neck.
- Capillaries are small vessels that deliver nutrients and oxygen from arteries to cells.
Heart Structure
- The heart consists of upper chambers called left and right atriums.
- The lower chambers are referred to as left and right ventricles.
- The average resting heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Blood Components
- Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes.
- White blood cells, or leukocytes, are responsible for fighting bacteria.
- Thrombocytes are crucial for blood clotting.
- Plasma is the liquid portion of blood, facilitating transportation of nutrients and waste.
Lymphatic and Cardiovascular Systems
- The lymph-vascular system circulates lymph through vessels and nodes, aiding in immune function.
- The cardiovascular system encompasses the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries for blood circulation.
- The body contains approximately 8 to 10 pints of blood.
Arteries and Their Functions
- The internal carotid artery supplies blood to parts of the forehead and eyes.
- The parietal artery provides blood to the crown and sides of the head.
- The occipital artery supplies blood to the back of the head.
- The popliteal artery supplies blood to the knee joint and muscles in the thigh and calf.
Nervous System and Other Systems
- The peripheral nervous system connects sensory and motor nerves to the body.
- The trigeminal nerve is also known as the fifth cranial nerve or trifacial nerve, responsible for facial sensations.
- The autonomic nervous system regulates the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems.
- The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones that regulate body functions.
Additional Body Systems
- The integumentary system comprises skin and its layers, and includes sebaceous and sudoriferous glands.
- The excretory system eliminates solid, liquid, and gaseous waste products.
- The respiratory system's primary function is the intake of oxygen.
Health and Physiology Facts
- Breathing through the nose is preferred over the mouth as it filters dust through mucus membranes.
- Lymph nodes do not belong to the gastrointestinal system.
- Efferent nerves transmit messages from the brain to muscles.
- The zygomatic nerve branch of the facial nerve extends to the upper muscles of the cheek.
- The ulnar nerve extends down the little finger side of the arm, while the radial nerve extends down the thumb side into the back of the hand.
