Study Notes
Body Membranes
- Thin layers of tissue that cover, separate, and support visceral organs and line body cavities.
- Pleurae: covers the lungs
- Pericardium: covers the heart
- Peritoneum: covers the abdominal viscera
Locomotor System
- Consists of bones, joints, and muscles.
Bone
- Type of connective tissue formed of cells, fibers, and matrix.
- Hard due to calcification of its extracellular matrix.
- Elastic due to the presence of organic fibers.
- Functions:
- Forms the supporting framework of the body.
- Gives attachment to muscles and acts as levers.
- Protects underlying structures (e.g., skull protects the brain).
- Stores calcium and phosphorus.
- Formation of blood cells by bone marrow.
Classification of Bones
-
According to Structure:
- Compact bone: appears as a solid mass.
- Cancellous bone: Consists of a branching network of trabeculae.
-
According to Shape:
- Long bones: femur and humerus.
- Short bones: carpal and tarsal bones.
- Flat bones: scapula and bones of the skullcap.
- Irregular bones: vertebrae and bones of the base of the skull.
- Sesamoid bones: small bones found in certain tendons (e.g., patella).
- Pneumatic bones: contain air cavities (e.g., some skull bones like the maxilla).
Regional Classification
-
Axial skeleton:
- Skull
- Vertebral column
- Thoracic cage
- Pelvic cavity
-
Appendicular skeleton:
- Bones of the upper limb.
- Bones of the lower limb.
Structure of Long Bones
- Shaft: tubular in shape, containing the marrow cavity with bone marrow.
- Ends: covered by articular cartilage.
- Epiphyseal plate: flat plate of hyaline cartilage between the ends and the shaft, responsible for growth of the bone in length.
Heart
-
Chambers:
- Right atrium: receives deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cava.
- Right ventricle: pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary trunk.
- Left atrium: receives oxygenated blood from the four pulmonary veins.
- Left ventricle: pumps oxygenated blood to the body via the aorta.
-
Surfaces:
- Right surface: formed by the right atrium.
- Left surface: formed mainly by the left ventricle and a small part by the left atrium.
-
Differences between Atria and Ventricles:
- Atrium: thin wall, occupies the upper part, receives blood from veins.
- Ventricle: thick wall, occupies the lower part, pushes blood into arteries.
-
Valves:
-
Atrioventricular valves: located between atria and ventricles.
- Tricuspid valve: between right atrium and right ventricle.
- Mitral valve: between left atrium and left ventricle.
-
Semilunar valves: located between ventricles and the vessels connected to them.
- Pulmonary valve: between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk.
- Aortic valve: between left ventricle and aorta.
-
Atrioventricular valves: located between atria and ventricles.
Blood Supply of the Heart
- Supplied by two coronary arteries (right and left).
- Originate from the ascending aorta.
Nerve Supply of the Heart
- Supplied by sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic nerves.
Conducting System of The Heart
- Consists of cardiac muscle cells and conducting fibers specialized for initiating and conducting impulses rapidly through the heart.
- Sino-atrial (SA) Node: initiates the heartbeat (pacemaker), located in the right atrium.
Trachea
-
Structure:
- Tubular structure about 10-12 cm long.
- Composed of C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings.
- Allows for air passage.
-
Functions:
- Conducts air to and from the lungs.
- Warms, filters, and humidifies inhaled air before it reaches the lungs.
Primary Bronchi
- Two bronchi (right and left) arise from the lower end of the trachea.
- Each bronchus passes obliquely downward to the hilum of the corresponding lung.
-
Differences:
- Right bronchi: shorter (about 1 inch), wider, more vertical, divides into three bronchi (one for each lobe of the lung).
- Left bronchi: longer (about 2 inches), narrower, more oblique, divides into two bronchi (one for each lobe of the lung).
Lungs
- Two lungs covered by the pleura, separated by the mediastinum.
-
Shape: cone-shaped.
- Apex: upper end.
- Base: directed downward and resting on the diaphragm.
-
Surfaces:
- Lateral surface: convex, related to the ribs.
- Medial surface: concavo-convex, related to the heart.
- Hilum: area where structures enter and leave the lung.
-
Fissures and lobes:
- Right lung: three lobes (superior, middle, and inferior) divided by two fissures (oblique and horizontal).
- Left lung: two lobes (superior and inferior) divided by the oblique fissure.
- Each lobe is further divided into segments.
- Alveoli: where gaseous exchange occurs between the air and blood.
Joints
-
Types:
- Fibrous Joints: immovable (e.g., sutures of the skull).
-
Cartilaginous Joints: slightly movable (e.g., intervertebral discs).
- Primary Cartilaginous Joints: hyaline cartilage (e.g., epiphyseal plate).
- Secondary Cartilaginous Joints fibrocartilage (e.g., intervertebral discs).
- Synovial Joints: freely movable (e.g., shoulder joint).
Muscle Tissues
-
Types:
- Skeletal Muscle: attached to bones, voluntary control, striated appearance.
- Smooth Muscle: found in walls of internal organs, involuntary control, not striated.
- Cardiac Muscle: found in the heart, involuntary control, striated appearance.
Nervous System
-
Parts:
- Central Nervous System: brain and spinal cord.
- Peripheral Nervous System: cranial and spinal nerves.
- Cranial Nerves: 12 pairs.
- Spinal Nerves: 31 pairs.
-
Functions:
- Sensory: receives information from the body.
- Motor: sends signals to muscles and glands.
- Integrative: processes and interprets information.
Digestive System
-
Organs:
- Mouth
- Pharynx
- Esophagus
- Stomach
- Small Intestine
- Large Intestine
-
Functions:
- Ingestion
- Digestion
- Absorption
- Elimination
Respiratory System
-
Organs:
