Study Notes
Lymphatic System
- The lymphatic system returns leaked fluids from the vascular system back to the blood.
- It maintains blood volume and pressure.
- Main structures include lymphatic vessels, lymph, and lymph nodes.
- Lymph vessels collect interstitial fluid (protein-containing fluid).
- Lymph nodes filter lymph as it moves through the body.
- Lymphoid organs are key to the immune system.
- Lymphatic vessels are a one-way system that carries lymph towards the heart.
- Lymph vessels are more permeable than blood capillaries.
- Lymph vessels carry large particles(like proteins, cell debris, pathogens, and cancer cells).
- Lymph flows from lymphatic capillaries to lymphatic vessels to lymph nodes to lymphatic trunks to lymphatic ducts and lastly to the heart.
- Lymph nodes filter lymph, and contain immune cells (macrophages and lymphocytes).
- Lymphoid organs include the spleen, thymus, tonsils, and other lymphoid tissues.
Lymphatic Vessels
- Lymphatic vessels collect excess interstitial fluid and return it to the blood.
- Lymphatic capillaries are microscopic vessels that interweave between tissue cells and blood capillaries.
- They are more permeable than blood capillaries so they can absorb large particles like proteins, cell debris, pathogens, and cancer cells.
- Lymph moves through lymphatic capillaries to lymphatic vessels to lymph nodes to lymphatic trunks to lymphatic ducts and lastly to the heart
- Lymph nodes are small organs that filter the lymph.
- Lymph nodes contain immune cells (macrophages and lymphocytes).
- Lymph vessels that collect lymph are similar to blood vessels.
Lymphoid Organs
- Primary lymphoid organs are where B and T cells mature. (Red bone marrow and Thymus)
- Secondary lymphoid organs include lymph nodes, spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT).
- Tonsils and appendix are examples of MALT.
- Peyer's patches are clusters of lymphoid tissue located in the ileum of the small intestine, monitoring intestinal bacteria.
- Spleen cleanses blood, removes aged/damaged red blood cells, debris, foreign substances.
- Spleen also recycles and stores materials.
- Thymus is where T cells mature.
Integumentary System
- The integumentary system includes skin, hair, nails, and glands.
- Its main function is protection.
- Other functions include synthesizing vitamin D, regulating body temperature, balancing bodily fluids, processing sensations, and excretion.
- Skin has two main layers: epidermis and dermis.
- Epidermis is made of epithelial tissue getting all its nutrients from the dermis.
- Dermis is mostly dense connective tissue, with blood vessels, glands, hair follicles and nerves.
- Four types of epidermal cells: keratinocytes, melanocytes, dendritic cells, tactile epithelial cells.
Bone Structure
- Bone is a rigid, living organ made of four tissue types: connective, nervous, epithelial, and muscle tissue.
- The majority of bone tissue is osseous tissue.
- The skeleton is constantly rebuilding itself; a new skeleton is formed every 7-10 years.
- Functions include support, protection, movement, storage, and hormone production.
- Bone has a compact layer outside and a spongy layer inside.
- Compact bone consists of osteons.
- Spongy bone has trabeculae.
- Bones have both projections (where muscles and ligaments attach) and depressions/openings (for blood vessels and nerves).
Bone Cells
- Osteocytes maintain healthy bone structure, housed in lacunae.
- Osteoblasts build bone tissue by calcifying bone.
- Osteoclasts absorb bone tissue during remodeling.
Bone Formation
- Ossification (osteogenesis) is the process of bone formation
- Two types: intramembranous and endochondral.
- Intramembranous ossification forms from fibrous membranes (e.g., clavicle and skull bones).
- Endochondral ossification replaces cartilage with bone (e.g., most other bones).
Bone Remodeling
- Ongoing process where osteoclasts break down old bone, and osteoblasts build new bone.
- Osteocytes regulate this process through chemical signals.
Bone Damage and Repair
- Bone fractures can occur.
- Fractures can be repaired through different methods including reduction and immobilization.
- Hematoma forms due to blood clot from torn blood vessels.
- Fibrocartilaginous callus spans broken parts.
- Osteoblasts construct spongy bone to replace the cartilaginous callus
Functional Classification of Joints
- Based on how they move.
- Types:
- Synarthroses = Immovable joints (e.g., skull sutures)
- Amphiarthroses = Slightly movable joints (e.g., pubic symphysis)
- Diarthroses = Freely movable joints (e.g., knee, elbow)
Structural Classification of Joints
- Based on the structures binding the bones.
- Types:
- Fibrous joints = Bones connected by collagen fibers of dense connective tissue (e.g., sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses)
- Cartilaginous joints = Bones connected by cartilage (e.g., synchondroses, symphyses)
- Synovial joints = Bones connected by dense connective tissues and a fluid-filled joint cavity. (e.g., knee, shoulder)
- Synovial joints have six special features: articular cartilage, joint (articular) cavity, fibrous joint (articular) capsule, synovial fluid, synovial membrane, and sensory nerve fibers and blood vessels
Types of Synovial Joints
- Gliding joints allow gliding movements (e.g., intercarpal and intertarsal joints).
- Hinge joints allow angular movement in one direction (e.g., elbow and interphalangeal joints).
- Pivot joints allow rotation (e.g., where the humerus meets the radius and ulna at the elbow).
- Condylar joints allow flexion/extension, abduction/adduction (e.g., wrist).
- Saddle joints allow opposition movements, flexion/extension, abduction/adduction (e.g., thumb joints).
- Ball-and-socket joints allow lots of maneuverability, including rotation, abduction/adduction, flexion/extension (e.g., shoulder and hip joints).
Other Movements
- Circumduction is moving a limb in a circle.
- Elevation / depression is lifting/lowering a body part.
- Protraction / retraction is sticking a body part out/in.
- Dorsiflexion / plantar flexion is lifting/pointing the foot.
- Inversion / eversion is turning foot inwards/outwards
Muscle Contractions
- Bones move because of muscle contractions.
- Muscles always pull, not push.
- Two types of contractions:
- Isotonic = muscle length changes(e.g., lifting a box, doing push-ups)
- Isometric = muscle length doesn't change (e.g., maintaining posture)
Skeletal System
- The skeletal system includes cartilage, ligaments, and joints.
- A healthy person has 206 bones.
- Bones constantly rebuild.
- Other organ systems rely on the skeletal system for support.
