Study Notes
Neurons and Cellular Functions
- Neurons transmit electrical signals and process information through synapses.
- Oligodendrocytes insulate axons with myelin in the central nervous system.
- Most neuronal cell bodies reside in the central nervous system, particularly in the brain and spinal cord.
Epithelial Tissue and Functions
- Epithelial tissue serves functions such as protection, absorption, secretion, and sensory reception.
- Goblet cells are responsible for secreting mucus, glandular secretions, and hormones.
- Epithelial membranes cover organs and line cavities, characterized by tightly packed cells with minimal extracellular matrix.
Nervous System Support and Regulation
- Microglial cells act as the immune defense in the nervous system, clearing debris and pathogens.
- Autonomic nervous system activities are regulated by hypothalamic controls and various autonomic ganglia.
Muscle and Connective Tissues
- Smooth muscle is found in hollow organs such as the intestines, blood vessels, and bladder.
- Connective tissue membranes provide structural support and protect organs, found in various regions of the body.
Organ Systems and Functions
- The cardiovascular system primarily circulates blood and gases, and also plays roles in thermoregulation and hormone transport.
- The endocrine system regulates metabolism, growth, and homeostasis through hormone secretion.
- The respiratory system primarily facilitates gas exchange, providing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide.
- The urinary system processes waste and regulates fluid balance, while the reproductive system focuses on reproduction and hormone production.
Physical Examination Insights
- Understanding tissue and cellular levels during physical exams aids in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
- An increased heart rate in anemia arises from compensatory mechanisms due to decreased oxygen-carrying capacity.
- Jaundice may occur due to increased bilirubin from hemolysis associated with anemia.
Cardiovascular System Dynamics
- Systemic veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart, while baroreceptors monitor blood pressure changes.
- A drop in blood vessel pressure triggers responses from the sympathetic nervous system, increasing heart rate and peripheral resistance.
- Capillaries facilitate the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between blood and tissues.
Respiratory System Components
- Ventilation is driven by changes in pressure gradients, optimizing gas exchange through diffusion in alveoli.
- The diaphragm is the major muscle involved in ventilation, altering thoracic cavity volume and pressure.
- Auscultation during respiratory exams involves listening for breath sounds, helping identify respiratory conditions.
Anatomical Landmarks and Cardiac Examination
- The Point of Maximal Impulse (PMI) is located at the fifth intercostal space, near the left midclavicular line.
- The left border of the heart is formed by the left ventricle, while the aortic valve is palpated along the right sternal border.
- Palpating the PMI assists in assessing left ventricular size and function during a heart examination.
Cardiac Cycle and Valve Mechanics
- The first heart sound (Lub) occurs with the closing of atrioventricular valves during ventricular contraction.
- The left AV valve opens during atrial systole as the left atrium fills and pushes blood into the left ventricle.
Respiratory Mechanics
- The conducting zone includes airways from the nasopharynx to terminal bronchioles, with a total volume of approximately 150 mL.
- The respiratory zone hosts alveoli, where gas exchange occurs due to partial pressure gradients of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- Inspiration results in decreased intrathoracic pressure, aided by diaphragmatic contraction and intercostal muscle action.
