Study Notes
Nervous System Components
- The nervous system has two main parts: the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).
- The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord.
- The PNS primarily consists of nerves.
Spinal Vertebrae Divisions
- Cervical spine: The top seven vertebrae (C1-C7) are located in the neck.
- Thoracic spine: The twelve vertebrae (T1-T12) are in the upper back, near the rib cage.
- Lumbar spine: The five vertebrae (L1-L5) are in the lower back.
- Sacrum spine: The five fused vertebrae (S1-S5) are located in the pelvis, at the base of the spine.
- Coccyx spine: The tailbone is made up of 3-5 fused vertebrae.
Accessory Respiratory Muscles
- Intercostal muscles: External intercostals are primary inspiratory muscles; internal intercostals are accessory expiratory muscles.
- Abdominal muscles: Accessory expiratory muscles.
Bone Types and Locations
- Long bones: Support body weight and facilitate movement, primarily located in the lower limbs.
- Short bones: Provide support and stability with minimal movement, found in the wrist and ankle joints.
- Flat bones: Include bones of the skull, and the rib cage (sternum and ribs), protecting internal organs like the brain and heart.
- Irregular bones: Have complex shapes and vary in structure; some protect internal organs, like the vertebral column protecting the spinal cord.
Digestive System Parts and Functions
- Mouth: Beginning of the digestive tract
- Throat (pharynx): Pathway for food
- Esophagus: Delivers food to the stomach
- Stomach: Muscular sac that mixes and holds food
- Small Intestines: Duodenum, jejunum, and ileum; 20 feet long; site of nutrient absorption through peristalsis.
- Large intestines (colon): 7 feet long; divided into ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid; absorb water.
Respiratory/Musculoskeletal System
- The respiratory system includes airways, lungs, and blood vessels, working together to move oxygen and remove waste.
