Study Notes
Types of Vessels in the Body
- Blood vessels are categorized into arteries, veins, and capillaries.
- Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, while veins return oxygen-poor blood.
- Capillaries are small, thin-walled vessels that facilitate gas, nutrient, and waste exchange between blood and tissues.
Functional Components of the Lymphatic System
- The lymphatic system protects against pathogens and maintains fluid balance.
- Comprises lymph, lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, and lymphoid organs (like spleen and thymus).
- Right lymphatic duct drains lymph from the right arm, right side of the head, and right thorax into the right subclavian vein.
- Thoracic duct collects lymph from the rest of the body, draining into the left subclavian vein.
Components of the Axial and Appendicular Skeleton
- Axial skeleton consists of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage; supports the head and trunk.
- Appendicular skeleton includes the limbs and girdles (scapula and pelvis); facilitates movement and interaction with the environment.
Classification of Bones by Shape
- Long bones: longer than wide, e.g., femur, humerus.
- Short bones: cube-shaped, providing stability, e.g., carpals and tarsals.
- Flat bones: thin and flat, serve protective roles, e.g., skull and sternum.
- Irregular bones: complex shapes, e.g., vertebrae and facial bones.
- Sesamoid bones: embedded within tendons, e.g., patella.
Types of Joints
- Fibrous joints: connected by dense connective tissue; offer little or no movement (e.g., sutures in the skull).
- Cartilaginous joints: joined by cartilage; allow limited movement (e.g., intervertebral discs).
- Synovial joints: characterized by a fluid-filled joint cavity, allowing a wide range of motion.
Classification of Synovial Joints
- Hinge joints: permit bending and straightening (e.g., elbow).
- Ball-and-socket joints: allow rotational movement (e.g., hip, shoulder).
- Pivot joints: enable rotation around an axis (e.g., neck).
- Ellipsoid joints: permit movement in two planes (e.g., wrist).
- Saddle joints: allow opposition (e.g., thumb).
- Gliding joints: facilitate sliding movements (e.g., between bones in the wrist).
