Study Notes
Urinary System Functions
- Removes waste products and excess fluid
- Maintains homeostasis
- Regulates acid-base balance
- Controls electrolyte concentrations
- Regulates extracellular fluid volume
- Regulates blood pressure
Urinary System Parts
- Kidneys
- Ureters
- Bladder
- Urethra
Kidney Problems/Diseases
- Congenital abnormalities
- Diabetes (high blood sugar)
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
Digestive System Parts and Functions
- Mouth: Beginning of digestive tract
- Throat (Pharynx): Where food travels
- Esophagus: Delivers food to the stomach
- Stomach: Sac-like organ with strong muscular walls, mixes food
-
Small Intestines:
- Made of three segments (duodenum, jejunum, ileum)
- 20 feet long
- Peristalsis moves food through the intestines
- Duodenum: breaks down food
- Jejunum and Ileum: absorb nutrients
-
Large Intestines (Colon):
- Divided into four parts (ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid)
- 7 feet long
Accessory Muscles of Respiration
-
Intercostal Muscles:
- External: primary inspiratory muscles
- Internal: accessory expiratory muscles
- Abdominal Muscles: Accessory expiratory muscles
Types of Bones
- Long Bones: Support body weight, facilitate movement, located in lower limbs
- Short Bones: Provide support and stability, located in wrist and ankle joints
- Flat Bones: Flat bones in the skull, thoracic cage (sternum and ribs), protect internal organs (brain, heart)
- Irregular Bones: Complex shapes, varying structure, protect internal organs (vertebral column protects spinal cord)
Respiratory System
- Respiratory System: Network of organs and tissues for breathing
- Components: Airways, lungs, blood vessels
- Function: Moves oxygen, eliminates waste products
Nervous System
- Differentiates between sensory and motor nerves
- Sensory Nerves: Carry signals from sensory organs to the brain
- Motor Nerves: Carry signals from the brain to muscles and glands
