Study Notes
Muscle Functions
- Abductors: Muscles that move body parts away from the midline; separate fingers in the hand.
- Adductors: Muscles that draw body parts inward toward the midline; bring fingers together.
Biological Processes
- Defecation: Elimination of waste foods from the body.
- Digestion: The mechanical and chemical breakdown of food.
- Ingestion: The act of taking food into the body.
- Metabolism: Chemical processes in organisms that nourish cells; includes anabolism (building up) and catabolism (breaking down).
Gland Types
- Endocrine Glands: Ductless glands releasing hormones directly into the bloodstream; influence bodily functions.
- Exocrine Glands: Duct glands that produce substances traveling through small ducts; include sweat and oil glands.
The Heart and Circulation
- Heart: Muscular, cone-shaped organ maintaining blood flow in the circulatory system.
- Pulmonary Circulation: Transports blood from the heart to the lungs for purification and back.
- Systemic Circulation: Circulates blood from the heart throughout the body and returns it.
Skeletal Structure
- Joint: Connection between two or more bones in the skeleton.
- Maxillary Bones: Form the upper jaw structure.
- Nasal Bones: Create the bridge of the nose.
- Palatine Bones: Form the hard palate of the mouth.
- Vomer Bone: Contributes to the nasal septum.
- Zygomatic Bones: Also known as cheekbones, create the prominence of the cheeks.
Muscles
- Deltoid: Triangular muscle acting on shoulder extension and lateral movement.
- Latissimus Dorsi: Large muscle covering the lower back.
- Pectoralis Major and Minor: Chest muscles aiding arm movement.
- Serratus Anterior: Assists in breathing and arm elevation.
- Trapezius: Stabilizes the scapula and enables shoulder shrugging.
Nervous System
- Nerves: Made of bundles of nerve fibers, transmitting impulses through the body.
- Reflex: An automatic reaction to stimuli that involves sensory and motor neurons; instinctual and unlearned.
Lymphatic System
- Lymph: Clear, yellowish fluid that circulates in lymphatic spaces; responsible for waste removal from cells.
Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy: Study of body structures visible to the naked eye.
- Physiology: Study of body parts' functions and their activities.
- Histology: Microscopic study of tiny structures in living tissues.
