    Study Notes

    Musculoskeletal System

    • Skeletal Muscle: Striated, voluntary muscle attached to bones by tendons, allowing for conscious movement.
    • Smooth Muscle: Non-striated, involuntary muscle found in walls of organs like blood vessels and the respiratory tract, functioning automatically.
    • Cardiac Muscle: Specialized involuntary muscle exclusive to the heart, exhibits automaticity and has its own blood supply via coronary arteries.
    • Functions: Protects vital organs and enables movement.

    Respiratory System

    • Respiration: Facilitates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide across cell membranes.
    • Oxygenation: Oxygen moves from areas of high concentration to low concentration across cell membranes.
    • Ventilation: Mechanical process of air movement in and out of the lungs.
    • Inhalation: Active process involving diaphragm contraction, increasing thoracic cavity size and creating negative pressure to draw air in.
    • Exhalation: Passive process of diaphragm relaxation, reducing thoracic cavity size, which increases pressure and forces air out.
    • Upper Airway Structures:
      • Nose and mouth
      • Pharynx (throat)
      • Oropharynx and Nasopharynx
      • Larynx, which houses the vocal cords
    • Lower Airway Structures:
      • Trachea: Carries air to and from the lungs and branches into bronchi.
      • Epiglottis: Protects the trachea during swallowing.
      • Bronchi: Main tubes leading into the lungs, divide into bronchioles.
      • Bronchioles: Smaller tubes lined with smooth muscle, controlling airflow.
      • Alveoli: Tiny air sacs at the end of bronchioles for gas exchange.
      • Lungs: Composed of lobes (2 left, 3 right), housing alveolar sacs.

    Circulatory System

    • Comprises heart, blood vessels, and blood.
    • Heart Chambers:
      • Atria: Upper chambers receiving blood.
      • Ventricles: Lower chambers that pump blood; left ventricle is the largest to serve the body.
      • Valves: Tricuspid, mitral, pulmonic, and aortic to ensure one-way blood flow.
    • Arteries:
      • Carry blood away from the heart; aorta is the largest artery, branching into iliac arteries for leg supply.
      • Coronary Arteries: Supply blood to the heart.
      • Carotid Arteries: Supply the brain.
      • Femoral Arteries: Supply legs.
      • Dorsalis Pedis Arteries: Peripheral pulse in the foot.
      • Radial and Brachial Arteries: Major arteries supplying the arms.
    • Other Components: Arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins (return blood to the heart).
    • Vena Cavae: Carry deoxygenated blood to the right atrium.

    Nervous System

    • Central Nervous System (CNS): Comprises the brain and spinal cord.
      • Cerebrum: Outer layer controlling sensation, thought, and voluntary movements.
      • Cerebellum: Coordinates muscle activity and balance.
      • Brainstem: Includes the Pons and Medulla Oblongata, regulating vital functions like respiration.
    • Peripheral Nervous System (PNS):
      • Voluntary Nervous System: Controls skeletal muscle activity.
      • Autonomic Nervous System: Regulates involuntary functions of smooth muscles.

    Endocrine System

    • Consists of ductless glands that secrete hormones, functioning as the body's regulatory system.

    Integumentary System

    • Largest body system, providing protection against environmental hazards and bacteria.
    • Regulates body temperature and water/electrolyte balance.
    • Sensory receptor for touch.
    • Three Layers of Skin:
      • Epidermis: Outermost layer.
      • Dermis: Thicker layer with blood supply, hair follicles, and glands.
      • Subcutaneous Layer: Fatty tissue beneath the dermis varying in thickness.

    Digestive System

    • Located in the abdominal cavity.
    • Major Organs:
      • Stomach: Main organ of digestion located in the upper quadrants.
      • Pancreas: Produces insulin, lies behind the stomach.
      • Liver: Bile production and sugar storage; located in the right upper quadrant.
      • Spleen: Filters blood, located in the left upper quadrant.
      • Gallbladder: Stores bile from the liver.
      • Small Intestine: Divided into duodenum, jejunum, and ileum; site of nutrient absorption.
      • Large Intestine (Colon): Responsible for waste elimination.

    Medical Terminology

    • Apnea: Absence of breathing.
    • Bradypnea: Slow breathing.
    • Tachypnea: Rapid breathing.
    • Bradycardia: Slow heart rate.
    • Tachycardia: Fast heart rate.
