Study Notes
Cardiovascular System
- The aorta transports oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body.
- The superior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the heart.
- The inferior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart.
- The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs.
- The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
- The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle.
- The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.
- The right ventricle pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs.
- The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body.
- The aortic valve controls blood flow into the aorta.
- The pulmonary valve helps oxygen-poor blood reach the lungs.
- The tricuspid valve controls blood flow from the heart's top chamber (right atrium) to the bottom chamber (right ventricle).
- Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
- Veins carry blood to the heart.
- Capillaries are thin-walled blood vessels where gas exchange occurs.
- Blood pressure has systolic (highest) and diastolic (lowest) components.
- Systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood throughout the body.
Hepatobiliary System
- The liver is involved in metabolism, converting nutrients and detoxifying substances.
- The liver produces bile, which aids in fat digestion.
- The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile.
- Layers of the heart wall include epicardium (outermost), myocardium (middle), and endocardium (innermost).
- Liver cells (hepatocytes) are the functional units of the liver.
- Kupffer cells are resident macrophages that remove foreign debris.
- The liver filters toxins, regulates blood glucose levels, and produces immune factors.
Urinary System
- Kidneys remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood.
- Kidneys help maintain homeostasis in the body.
- Kidneys regulate acid-base balance, electrolyte concentrations, and extracellular fluid volume.
- The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
- Kidneys are responsible for maintaining blood pressure.
- Causes of kidney problems/diseases include congenital abnormalities, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
