Ear Anatomy
- Malleus, incus, and stapes are housed within the skull and ear.
Cellular Organization
- Cells grouped together form tissue.
Popliteal Pulse
- Located behind the knee over the popliteal artery.
Ceruminous Glands

- Thrombocytes (platelets) are essential for clotting.
Muscle Identification
- Vastus lateralis is the outer muscle of the quadriceps group.
Cardiovascular Pathway
- Blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary vein.
Brain Functionality
- The temporal lobe processes auditory information.
Reproductive Anatomy
- Fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes (uterine tubes).
Hormonal Functions
- Estrogen and progesterone are produced by the ovaries.
- Testosterone induces growth of pubic and axillary hair.
Fluid Dynamics
- Osmosis refers to water movement across membranes from high to low concentration.
- Increased breathing rates lead to alkalosis and elevated blood pH.
Skin Structure
- The epidermis serves as the skin's most protective layer.
Nervous System Divisions
- Comprised of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS).
Vision and Eye Function
- The retina is responsible for color detection.
Nutrition for Repair
- A protein-rich diet enhances tissue repair processes.
Insulin Production
- The pancreas is the organ responsible for insulin secretion.
Blood Circulation
- The vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart.
Reproductive Cycle
- The average menstrual cycle lasts approximately 28 days.
Cancer Assessment
- The ABCD rule helps in melanoma identification:
- Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter.
Kidney Function
- The renal vein is vital for blood flow through the kidneys, filtering waste.
Immunological Response
- B-lymphocytes are produced in red bone marrow, while T-lymphocytes originate from the thymus.
Skeletal Components
- The calcaneus is located in the foot and is critical for mobility.
Body Systems
- The primary task of the urinary system is waste expulsion.
