Study Notes
Circulation Systems
- Systemic circulation involves arterial blood flowing from the heart throughout the body and venous blood returning to the heart.
- Pulmonary circulation is the process where venous blood is sent from the right ventricle to the lungs via pulmonary arteries for gas exchange, returning as arterial blood to the left atrium through pulmonary veins.
Digestive System
- The digestive system includes the gastrointestinal tract (oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine) and organs producing digestive enzymes.
- Digestion involves breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and excreting waste as feces.
- The esophagus transports chewed food to the stomach, where digestion begins with stomach fluids.
- In the small intestine, nutrients are absorbed, followed by further absorption in the large intestine where feces are formed.
- The rectum signals the urge to defecate, leading to excretion via the anus.
Urinary System
- The urinary system's role is to eliminate waste from the body.
- Urine formation takes place in the kidneys, travels through ureters to be stored in the bladder, and is excreted via the urethra.
Endocrine System
- Comprises glands that secrete hormones, regulating various body functions.
- Individuals in nursing care maintain independence in decision-making for daily activities, like clothing choices.
Activities of Daily Living
- Activities vary across countries and cultures, including waking, dressing, hygiene, meals, recreation, and sleep.
- Daily living is influenced by health, home environment, household capabilities, family, and community.
Care Work and Individual Support
- Care workers support users' normal lifestyles by understanding their daily living preferences.
- Nursing care can lead to passivity in user behavior and thought.
Dietitian and Nutrition
- Registered dietitians specialize in nutrition, creating balanced meal plans for users with specific dietary needs due to health issues.
Care Management
- Care managers and social workers develop support plans and consult users and families for welfare service adjustments.
- They provide consultation and coordination of services users might require.
Care Services Overview
- Care services can vary, with in-home support provided by care workers who visit users for personalized assistance.
Nervous System and Brain Function
- The brain is divided into regions, each with distinct functions:
- Cerebrum: Involved in cognitive functions.
- Diencephalon: Controls autonomic nervous system and regulates temperature and sleep.
- Cerebellum: Coordinates balance and motor functions.
- Brain Stem: Manages vital functions like heart rate and respiration.
Autonomic Nervous System
- Operates unconsciously, regulating internal organ functions autonomously.
