Study Notes
Human Body Overview
- Diaphragm: Muscular dome separating thorax from abdomen.
- Bile: Produced by the liver, stored in the gallbladder.
Anatomical Structures
- Orbit: Formed by the maxilla, zygoma, and frontal bone.
- Foramen magnum: Large opening at skull base connecting brain to spinal cord.
- Axial skeleton: Comprises the skull, face, thorax, and vertebral column.
- Sacrum: Portion of the spinal column attached to iliac bones.
Muscle Types and Functions
- Smooth muscle: Not present in the skeletal system.
- Involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation generate heat.
- Blood pressure regulation: Arteries constrict when blood volume decreases.
Respiratory and Cardiovascular System
- Decreased minute volume indicated by minimal chest movement during inhalation.
- "130" in blood pressure measurement represents ventricular contraction.
Central Nervous System
- Composed of the brain and spinal cord, coordinating body functions.
- Lymphatic system vessels do not parallel major arteries closely.
Organ Systems and Functions
- Spleen: Located in the left upper quadrant, involved in filtering blood.
- Endocrine system: Releases hormones regulating body activities.
- Urine pathway: Transported from kidneys to urinary bladder via ureters.
Reproductive System
- Fallopian tubes: Transport mature eggs to the uterus.
Metabolism
- Aerobic metabolism produces carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
- Adequate oxygen supply boosts adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production.
Pathophysiology
- Study of changes in body function due to disease.
Shock Types
- Obstructive shock: Caused by blood accumulation in the heart sac.
Skeletal System Components
- Coccyx: Formed by the fusion of the four distal spinal vertebrae.
- Manubrium: Most superior section of the sternum.
- Xiphoid process: Inferior cartilaginous tip of the sternum.
- Scapula: Large triangular bone overlying the posterior thoracic wall.
- Radius and ulna: Bones of the forearm.
- Carpal bones: Form the wrist.
- Pelvic bones: Fusion of ilium, ischium, and pubis.
- Acetabulum: Forms a ball-and-socket joint with the femoral head.
- Greater trochanter: Bony prominence on the thigh.
- Phalanges: Constitute the fingers and toes.
- Patella: Specialized bone located anterior to the knee.
- Medial malleolus: Formed by the distal aspect of the tibia.
