Study Notes
Functions of Superficial Fascia
- Supports and surrounds subcutaneous tissues, such as skin, fat, and muscles
- Anchors skin to underlying tissues
- Allows for movement and sliding between layers
Functions of Bones
- Support and protection of internal organs
- Movement and mobility through joint articulations
- Production of blood cells through bone marrow
Cartilaginous Joints
- Primary cartilaginous joints: formed by fusion of adjacent bones, no joint cavity (e.g., growth plates, joint between cranial bones)
- Secondary cartilaginous joints: have a joint cavity, connected by cartilage and fibrocartilage (e.g., pubic symphysis)
Types of Muscles
- Skeletal muscles: voluntary, striated, and attached to bones
- Smooth muscles: involuntary, non-striated, found in internal organs and blood vessels
- Cardiac muscles: involuntary, striated, found only in the heart
Functions of the Liver
- Detoxification and metabolism of substances
- Production of bile for digestion
- Storage and regulation of nutrients and energy
Heart Chambers
- Right atrium: contains deoxygenated blood from the body
Arteries and Veins
- Arteries: thick walls, carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
- Veins: thin walls, carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart
Paranasal Sinuses
- Provide resonance for voice and speech
- Warm, humidify, and filter air we breathe
- Produce mucus to trap pathogens and debris
Functions of the Cerebellum
- Coordinates and regulates movement, balance, and posture
- Integrates sensory information and motor responses
Brain Stem Functions
- The medulla oblongata is responsible for controlling involuntary functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure
