Lecture Week 1 Body Systems Student Notes PDF

Summary

These lecture notes cover various body systems, including the cellular level, musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, and digestive systems. The material details the structure, composition, and function of each system and explains the interconnections between them, particularly in relation to the ear and sound processing. The document is intended for students studying audiology or a related field.

Topics covered  Cell biology  Brief overview of body systems: - cardiovascular system. - immune system. - nervous system - musculoskeletal system - respiratory system - digestive system Learning outcomes  Understand and briefly describe the structure, composition, and function of the: - Cells - Musculoskeletal - Nervous - Immune - Cardiovascular - Respiratory - Digestive systems Understand and briefly explain the interconnections between body systems, and the ear/auditory system All systems are interconnected Cell Biology 1. The eukaryotic (animal) cell. Main components: 2. Cell contains the genetic information DNA RNA Protein 3. Protein synthesis 4. Protein synthesis 5. Cellular respiration s 6. Cell division - Mitosis Identic al copies 6. Cell division - Meiosis Genetic material recombin es Overview of Body Systems The musculoskeletal system Provides body Calcium and support phosphate homeostasis Protects organs Blood cell production Provides movement Types of muscles Involuntary , covers walls of heart Voluntary, attaches to skeleton Involuntary , covers walls internal The motor unit The reflex reaction The nervous system Collects Forward information information to internally and the appropriate externally tissue or organ Process the Send information collected to the information appropriate part of the brain The nervous system The brain Learning Reasoning Cerebrum Speech Senses Process and transmits Thalamus sensory information Hypothalamu Produce and s regulate Pituitary neurochemica ls glandmuscle movements, Coordinating motor learning, balance, coordination Sensory information Movement, auditory, visual processing Motor and sensory pathways Cardiac activity, respiration, digestion, sleep The brain The spinal cord Administers motor data from brain to body Performs slight reflexes Administers sensory data from PNS to brain The spinal cord The peripheral nervous system Somatic nervous system: Voluntary movements Composed of nerves 1. Sensory neurons (spinal and cranial) and 2. Motor neurons ganglia Autonomic nervous system: Link the CNS to organs Involuntary movements and limbs and functions, information to organs 1. Sympathetic (“fight and flight response”), ach, nicotinic, noradrenaline 2. Parasympathetic (rest), The peripheral nervous system The peripheral nervous system The cardiovascular system Supplies your body organs with oxygen and nutrients The cardiovascular system Systemic circulation Pulmonary circulation Systemic circulation The heart Blood pressure Blood pressure Blood vessels Capillary exchange The blood Red blood cells: White blood Hemoglobin cells: Immune (oxygen and CO2) system Plasma transports: Blood cells Nutrients Waste products Platelets: blood Antibodies clotting Clotting proteins hormones The respiratory system Exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between body and Alveoli get filles with oxygen-rich air. Gas exchange takes place between blood and alveoli, and then between blood and tissue cells all around the body through simple diffusion. The immune system Protects our body from Natural barriers The immune system organs Innate vs adaptative immune response Innate vs adaptive immune response Adaptive immune response Blood test The digestive system Transforms raw material food into nutrients Absorption of test Blood nutrients Absorption of nutrients The ear and the body systems Musculoskeletal: Cardiovascular: Supports Oxygen and Transmits nutrient suppy vibration Removes waste Nervous: products Transmits sensory Respiratory: information Oxygen and CO2 Efferent control exchange Immune: Digestive: Protection from Provides infection nutrients Questions?
