60
Semi-flowers position

61
Tredelenburg position

62
Physiology
The function of the body and its systems
63
Four major body cavities
Cranial
Thoracic
Abdominal
Pelvic
64
Thoracic cavity
The anterior body cavity that is above (superior) to the diaphragm also called the chest cavity
65
Diaphragm
The muscular structure that divides the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity
66
Abdominal cavity
The anterior body cavity that extends from the diaphragm to the pelvic cavity
67
Pelvic cavity
The anterior body cavity surrounded by the bones of the pelvis
68
Abdominal quadrants
Four divisions of the abdomen used to pinpoint locations of pain or injury: right upper quadrant (RUQ)-liver gallbladder, part of small and large intestines
Left upper quadrant (LUQ)-stomach, spleen, part of small and large intestines and part of liver
Right lower quadrant (RLQ)- appendix and part of small and large intestines
Left lower quadrant (LLQ)- part of the small and large intestines
69
Palpate
To examine by feeling with ones hands
70
Perfusion
The supply (flow) of well oxygenated blood and nutrients (content) to all body systems, especially the vital organs and the removal of waste
71
Respiratory system
Primary structures associated with the respiratory (ventilatory) system include the nose, mouth , trachea , lungs , bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, and associated muscles related to breathing. Responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
72
Circulatory system
Primary structures include the heart, blood vessels, and blood
Two sides- arterial system that carries oxygenated bloods to the body and he venous system that returns unoxygenated blood to the heart and lungs
Main job- to carry well oxygenated blood and other nutrients to the body's cells and assist with the removal of waste and carbon dioxide from the cells
73
Musculoskeletal system
Primary structures include the bonds, muscles , tendons and ligaments
Main function-is to provide structure, support and protection for the body and internal organs and allow for the body movement
Responsible for he production of disease fighting white blood cells
74
Nervous system
Primary structures include brain, spinal cord, and nervous that extend out to all parts of the body
Main function- to control movement, interpret sensations, regulate body activities and generate memory and thought
75
Digestive system
Primary structures are the esophagus , stomach , liver, pancreas, small intestine and large intestine
Main function- to properly break down the food we easy so it can be absorbed through the intestines and used for food and energy for cells
76
Reproductive system
Primary structures include testes and penis for male and the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina for female
This system produces hormones needed for sexual reproduction. In females it contains structures necessary for the gestation and development of a human fetus
77
Urinary system
Primary structures include kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra
Main functions is to remove chemical wastes from the body and help balance water and salt levels in blood
78
Integumentary system
Largest organ in the body is the skin
Covers the body's many tissues , organs and systems
Protects body from heat and cold as well as from toxins in environment, such as bacteria and other foreign organisms
Regulates body temperature and senses heat, cold, touch, pain and pressure
Regulates body fluids and chemical balance
Includes skin, nails, hair, sweat glands, oil gland, and mammary glands
