Study Notes
Importance of Anatomy and Physiology in Cosmetology
- Knowledge of anatomy and physiology helps cosmetologists create flattering haircuts, hairstyles, and makeup by understanding facial bone structures.
Cell Structure
- Cytoplasm serves as a medium for movement of cell parts within the cell membrane.
- Mitosis is the process where a cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
Tissue Types
- Epithelial tissue covers various body parts, including mucous membranes and skin.
- Nerve tissue controls and coordinates all body functions.
Organs and Systems
- Organs are specialized tissue groups performing specific functions.
- The circulatory system regulates blood movement throughout the body.
- Understanding nerve function enhances service delivery in cosmetology, such as massages and facials.
- The integumentary system protects the body and regulates temperature.
Muscular and Skeletal Systems
- The muscular system is influenced by massages in cosmetology.
- Joints connect two or more bones.
- The skeletal system helps produce red and white blood cells and protects the body.
Key Bones
- Parietal bones form the sides and top of the skull's cranium.
- Zygomatic bones, also known as cheekbones, create the prominence of cheeks and parts of eye sockets.
- The hyoid bone supports the tongue and its muscles.
- Scapulae are flat, triangular shoulder blades.
- The humerus is the largest bone in the arm, connecting the elbow to the shoulder.
- The tibia is the larger bone in the lower leg supporting body weight.
Muscle Types and Functions
- Voluntary muscles (striated) can be controlled at will.
- Muscle origins are anchored to bones.
- The platysma muscle lowers the jaw and lip.
- The zygomaticus major elevates the upper lip and dilates nostrils.
- The deltoid muscle allows arm extension outward.
Muscle Groups
- Adductors draw body parts toward the midline and bring fingers together.
- The extensor digitorum longus extends toes and bends the foot.
- The flexor digitorum brevis flexes toes and helps maintain balance.
Nervous System
- The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary muscle actions and functions of smooth muscles, glands, and major organs.
- Motor nerves transmit impulses from the brain to muscles and glands.
Circulatory System
- Pulmonary circulation transports oxygen-poor blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
- Veins are thin-walled blood vessels carrying waste products to the heart and lungs.
- Blood protects the body against toxins and bacteria by aiding the immune system.
Arteries and Lymphatic System
- The external carotid artery supplies blood to the face, neck, and scalp.
- The lymphatic system is crucial for immune defense, with lymph nodes filtering bacteria and viruses.
- Lymph is a clear fluid containing white blood cells traveling through lymph vessels.
Integumentary System
- The integumentary system comprises the skin and its accessory organs, protecting the body from external elements and sun exposure.
- The sebaceous gland is an example of an exocrine gland.
Endocrine System
- Endocrine glands secrete hormones, such as estrogen and insulin, which are essential for regulating bodily functions.
