Study Notes
Nervous System
- The central nervous system (CNS) processes sensory information, coordinates voluntary and involuntary responses, and controls thoughts, emotions, and memory.
- The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord for integration and processing.
- The peripheral nervous system (PNS) connects the CNS to limbs and organs.
- The PNS includes sensory and motor neurons.
- Neurons consist of a cell body (containing nucleus and organelles), dendrites (receiving signals), and an axon (transmitting impulses).
- The myelin sheath insulates the axon, increasing the speed of nerve impulses.
- Synapses are junctions between neurons where neurotransmitters transmit signals.
- A nerve impulse involves an electrical signal transmitted by neurons.
- A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger between neurons.
- The mandibular nerve is located in the lower jaw/mandible area.
- The zygomatic nerve controls the upper cheek/facial muscles.
- The body's response to stress includes increased heart rate, pupil dilation, and adrenaline release (fight/flight response).
- The divisions of the nervous system are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
- The brain stem and spinal cord handle vital functions and information relay.
- Sensory and motor nerves are the two types of nerves
- The largest cranial nerve is the trigeminal nerve (CN V).
- There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves.
- Facial nerves facilitate expressions, taste, and tears/saliva secretion.
Facial Nerve and Muscles
- Skeletal muscles attach to bones and are controlled by thought processes.
- Nerve impulses trigger muscle reactions, which cause movement.
- Skeletal (voluntary) muscles have three parts: origin, belly, and insertion.
- Muscles of the scalp include the occipitofrontalis.
- Muscles of the eyebrow include the corrugator supercilii.
- Muscles of the nose include the nasalis.
- Muscles of the mouth include the orbicularis oris, buccinator, and zygomaticus.
- Muscles used for chewing include the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoids.
- Three types of muscle tissue exist: skeletal (voluntary), cardiac, and smooth.
- Estheticians work with skeletal, or voluntary, muscles.
Circulatory System
- The circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste.
- Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart.
- Veins carry blood to the heart.
- Capillaries facilitate the exchange of gases and nutrients.
- Arterioles are small branches of arteries.
- Blood comprises red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma.
- Carbon dioxide is eliminated via the lungs, and other wastes via the kidneys/liver.
- The circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste.
Venous System
- Veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart.
Vein Disorders
- Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins, often in legs, caused by weak or damaged valves and result in swelling, aching, and visible veins.
- Treatments include compression stockings, exercise, or surgery.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is blood clot in a deep vein, due to immobility, injury, or clotting disorders which results in swelling, pain, and redness
- Treatments include blood thinners, compression, or surgery.
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) involves blood pooling in the legs due to poor venous return, caused by valve damage and leading to swelling, pain, and skin changes
- Treatment includes lifestyle changes, compression, or surgery.
Lymphatic System
- Primary duties include returning fluid to the blood, filtering lymph, removing pathogens, and supporting immune function.
- Lymph, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphatic organs (spleen, thymus, tonsils) are key elements.
- Lymph moves via muscle contraction and valves in one direction toward the heart.
Endocrine System
- The sympathetic nervous system puts body systems on alert.
- The parasympathetic nervous system relaxes those systems.
- The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones for regulation of bodily functions
- Major glands include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, and gonads.
- Diabetes Mellitus includes high blood sugar due to insulin issues.
- Hyperthyroidism involves an overactive thyroid, leading to weight loss and anxiety.
- Hypothyroidism involves an underactive thyroid.
- Cushing's Syndrome is an excess amount of Cortisol.
- Addison's Disease includes low cortisol.
