Study Notes
Integumentary System
- Skin is the largest organ, typically 15-20% of body weight, also known as integument or cutaneous layer.
- Functions: Protection, Vitamin D production, Excretion, Temperature regulation, Sensation
- Three main layers: Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis/subcutis
- Epidermis: Stratified squamous keratinized epithelium, consists mainly of Keratinocytes, Melanocytes, Langerhans cells, Merkel cells
- Epidermal strata: Stratum basale (germinativum), stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, stratum corneum
- Keratin layer: Dead cells with a hard protein envelope (keratin). The type of keratin in skin is soft keratin.
- Melanin: Pigments responsible for skin, hair, and eye color; produced by melanocytes (neural crest derivatives).
- Langerhans Cells: Antigen-presenting cells (APCs).
- Merkel Cells: Tactile epithelial cells essential for light touch sensation.
- Neuronal endings: Free nerve endings detect touch, temperature, and pain; Pacinian corpuscles detect pressure and vibration; Meissner's corpuscles detect touch; Ruffini endings detect mechanoreception.
Muscular System
- Functions: Body movement, posture maintenance, respiration, heat production, communication, organ and vessel constriction, heartbeat
- Skeletal muscles: Tendons connect muscles to bone; Origin (head)—less movable end; Insertion—more movable end; Belly—part between origin and insertion.
- Muscle nomenclature varies based on location, origin/insertion, number of heads, function, and size, and shape.
- Rotator cuff muscles: Supraspinatus (abduction), Infraspinatus (external rotation), Teres minor (external rotation), Subscapularis (internal rotation)
Skeletal System
- Functions: Support, protection, movement, mineral storage, blood cell production.
- Bone anatomy: Diaphysis (shaft), epiphysis (ends), metaphysis (narrowing).
- Common terms: Foramen, canal/meatus, fossa, tubercle/tuberosity, process.
- Vertebral column: Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal.
- Ribs and Rib Cage: Ribs are classified as either true, false, or floating ribs. The Sternum is a breastbone.
- Types of Bones: Long, short, flat, and irregular.
Musculoskeletal System
- Types of Joints: Based on structure: Fibrous (sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses, little or no movement), Cartilaginous (synchondroses and symphyses, slight movement), Synovial (freely movable),
- Types of Joints: Based on function: Synarthroses (immovable), Amphiarthroses (slightly movable), Diarthroses (freely movable).
- Muscle Actions at shoulder & arm: Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial rotation, lateral rotation.
- Upper Extremity: Bones like the Scapula, Radius, Ulna, Clavicle, Humerus.
- Lower Extremity: Bones like the Tibia, Fibula, Femur.
Nervous System
- Divisions: Central Nervous System (CNS), Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
- PNS division: Sensory/afferent division, Motor/efferent division
- CNS: Brain, Spinal cord.
- Spinal Cord: Located in the spinal canal, contains gray and white matter.
- Plexuses: Cervical, brachial, lumbar, sacral.
- Cranial Nerves: 12 pairs.
- Spinal Nerves: 31 pairs.
Circulatory System
- Functional Components: Blood vascular system, Lymph vascular system
- Blood Vascular System Composition: Heart, arteries, capillaries, veins.
- Main Arteries and Branches
- Arterial and venous systems distribute blood to and from the capillary beds.
Digestive System and Immune System
- General structure: Mucosa, Submucosa, Muscularis, Serosa.
- Gastrointestinal Tract Divisions: Foregut, midgut, hindgut.
- Immune System: Innate and Adaptive Immunity.
- Lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes.
Endocrine System
- Pituitary Gland (posterior and anterior): location, hormonal functions and actions.
- Thyroid gland; location, hormones, functions, actions.
- Adrenal Glands: location, zones, hormones, actions.
- Pancreas: role as both endocrine and exocrine gland, major hormonal functions, locations of its associated cells.
Respiratory System
- Divisions: Upper portion and Lower portion.
- Structures: Nose, Nasal cavity, nasal septum, nasal conchae.
- Structures: Pharynx, nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx.
- Structures: Larynx, trachea, bronchial tree (main bronchi, secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles).
- Cells: Clara cells, Cilia.
