Study Notes
Human Body Systems
- Cardiovascular System: Responsible for blood circulation, it comprises the heart, arteries, and veins to deliver oxygen and nutrients, while removing waste products.
- Respiratory System: Includes the lungs and trachea, facilitating the intake of air into the body.
- Central Nervous System: Processes sensory information through nerves and the brain, controlling muscle contractions for movement.
- Digestive and Excretory Systems: Involved in mechanical and chemical breakdown of food to extract nutrients, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines; also responsible for waste elimination.
- Renal System (Urinary System): Primarily involves the kidneys, which filter blood to produce urine.
- Endocrine System: Utilizes hormones for chemical communication within the body, coordinating various physiological functions.
- Integumentary System: Comprises skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands, acting as the body's barrier and regulating temperature.
- Muscular and Skeletal Systems: Enable body movement through the musculoskeletal system, where muscles move bones that support the body structure and its organs.
- Lymphatic (Immune) System: Consists of lymphatic vessels that transport lymph, playing a crucial role in immune function and fluid balance.
Anatomical Terms and Positions
- Common Anatomical Terms: Important terms include anterior (front), posterior (back), lateral (side), medial (middle), and ventral (belly) to accurately describe locations of body parts.
- Anatomical Position: The standard reference position in which the body is standing upright, facing forward with arms at the sides and palms facing forward.
-
Body Planes:
- Coronal Plane: Divides the body into anterior and posterior sections.
- Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into left and right sections.
- Positions: Supine (lying on back), prone (lying on stomach), recumbent (lying down), and lithotomy (lying on back with legs raised).
Skeletal System
- Types of Bones: Include long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid bones, each serving unique functions in the body.
- Types of Joints: Classified into categories such as hinge, ball-and-socket, pivot, and others based on their range of motion and structure.
