The Human Body: Key Concepts
-
The electrical impulse of the heart starts at the sinoatrial node, known as the heart's natural pacemaker.
-
Each pelvic bone integrates three bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis.
-
The cerebrum is the largest brain part, commonly referred to as "gray matter," responsible for higher brain functions.
-
The humerus serves as the primary supporting bone of the arm.
-
The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae, enabling movement and support for the neck.
-
The connection between the brain and spinal cord occurs through the foramen magnum, a significant opening at the skull's base.
-
The axial skeleton encompasses the skull, face, thorax, and vertebral column, forming the central structure of the body.
-
Hemoglobin within erythrocytes (red blood cells) is crucial for oxygen transport in the bloodstream.
-
The spleen is located in the lateral and posterior section of the left upper quadrant (LUQ) of the abdomen, playing a role in blood filtration.
-
The coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone, consists of the last four fused spinal vertebrae.
-
The patella, or kneecap, is a specialized bone positioned anterior to the knee joint.
-
The femoral head articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis to form a ball-and-socket joint.
-
A patient with a tidal volume of 500 mL, dead space volume of 150 mL, and respiratory rate of 16 breaths/min has a minute volume of 5,600 mL.
-
The upper airway functions to warm and humidify inhaled air, crucial for respiratory health.
-
The term inferior describes body parts situated closer to the feet in anatomical positioning.
-
The pulmonary veins transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left side of the heart.
-
The diaphragm functions as both a voluntary and involuntary muscle, essential for respiration.
-
The liver occupies the entirety of the anteroposterior space in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of the abdomen, performing vital metabolic functions.
-
When documenting the position of an intoxicated individual lying face down, use the term prone.
-
Activation of alpha-adrenergic receptors causes vasoconstriction of blood vessels, impacting blood pressure.
-
The radius and ulna constitute the bones of the forearm, allowing for a range of motion.
-
The function of the fallopian tubes is to transport a mature egg from the ovary to the uterus for potential fertilization.
-
The anatomical term posterior is synonymous with dorsal, indicating the back side of the body.
-
The apex refers to the pointed inferior portion of the heart's left ventricle, where blood is pumped out to the body.
-
The liver is considered unilateral relative to the kidneys, meaning it is positioned on one side of the body.
