Study Notes
Respiratory System
- Lungs are not located in the middle mediastinum with the heart.
- Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.
- Heart valves prevent blood from flowing backward.
- The third intercostal space is an anatomical landmark that locates the heart's base.
- Germinal centers are parts of lymph nodes that show heightened activity during high antibody production.
- Lymph fluid does not move through lymphatic vessels via contraction of cardiac muscles.
Digestive System
- Sphincter muscles regulate food flow through the digestive tract.
Urinary System
- Renal corpuscle is where the nephron's filtration portion is housed.
- Trachea is not a structure of the upper respiratory system.
Oral Cavity
- Hard palate separates the oral and nasal cavities.
Lymphatic System
- Palatine tonsils are not correctly matched to adenoids.
- Peyer's patches capture and destroy harmful bacteria within the intestinal wall.
- Lymph nodes show increased activity during high antibody production.
Respiratory Structures
- Structures followed during exhaling: Alveolus, bronchiole, bronchus, trachea, larynx, pharynx, and nasal cavity.
- Asthma is a condition that involves inflammation of the bronchi.
Other
- Mucociliary escalator defends respiratory system against pathogens.
