Study Notes
Skeletal Muscle Tissue
- Participates in body movements, such as walking, and is responsible for generating heat.
- Composed of long, cylindrical, multinucleate cells with visible striations known as muscle fibers.
Nervous System
- Includes the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and special sense organs.
- Detects changes in internal and external environments; interprets these changes.
Digestive System
- Composed of the gastrointestinal tract organs: mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, and anus.
- Accessory organs include salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
- Functions to biologically and chemically break down food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate solid wastes.
Urinary System
- Components include kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
- Responsible for producing, storing, and eliminating urine, and maintaining blood volume and chemical composition.
Reproductive System
- Overall function includes the production of offspring.
- Male reproductive organs produce sperm and hormones; female organs produce eggs and hormones, facilitating fertilization and fetal development.
Homeostasis
- Refers to the body’s ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes.
- Essential for the maintenance of life functions, including movement, responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, excretion, reproduction, and growth.
Cellular Components
- Ribosomes: Sites of protein synthesis; can be free-floating or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER):
- Rough ER has ribosomes and modifies proteins sent via transport vesicles.
- Smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
Tissue Types
- Epithelial Tissue: Covers and lines body surfaces; classified as simple (single layer) or stratified (multiple layers) based on cell arrangement.
- Functions include protection, absorption, filtration, and secretion.
- Cell shapes: squamous (flat), cuboidal (cube-shaped), and columnar (tall).
Connective Tissue
- Types include:
- Bone: Composed of osteocytes, provides protection and support.
- Cartilage: Contains chondrocytes, is flexible, and found in specific locations (e.g., hyaline cartilage in joints).
- Dense Connective Tissue: Contains collagen fibers; includes tendons (muscle to bone) and ligaments (bone to bone).
- Loose Connective Tissue: Includes areolar tissue, which provides universal packing and binds organs.
Muscle Types
- Skeletal Muscle: Voluntary control, striated, composed of long muscle fibers.
- Cardiac Muscle: Involuntary control, striated, found in the heart, pumps blood through vessels.
- Smooth Muscle: Involuntary control, non-striated, found in walls of hollow organs.
Respiratory System Functions
- Pulmonary ventilation involves inhalation (breathing in) and exhalation (breathing out).
- Factors affecting ventilation include surface tension, elastic recoil, and compliance of lung tissues.
Breathing Patterns
- Eupnea: Normal, quiet breathing.
- Apnea: Temporary cessation of breathing; can be obstructive (blockage) or central (brain failure to signal).
- Dyspnea: Difficult or labored breathing.
Aging Effects
- Aging results in decreased vital capacity, blood oxygen levels, macrophage activity, and ciliary function in the respiratory system, making elderly individuals more susceptible to respiratory issues.
