Q

Cells>tissues>organs>organ systems

A

Cells that have a specialized function join together to form tissues. Tissues are a group of cells that work together to perform a task. Tissues join together to form organs. Organs are two or more tissues that work together to form a task. Organs and tissues join together to form organ systems. Organ systems are two or more organs that perform a task.

25
Respiration
Provide oxygen to the body cells for use in creating energy through gas exchange to the cells. O2 in CO2 out. Lungs and respiratory system perform gas exchange automatically. The oxygen is used to burn food and create energy.
26
Gas exchange takes place as follows from body parts to body parts.
Inhale from atmosphere >nose>nasal cavity >pharynx>larynx>trachea> bronchi>bronchioles>alveoli
27
Alveoli
Main Site of gas exchange Gas exchange is diffusion between alveoli and blood Size of football field
28
Gas exchange
Takes place in alveoli and blood by diffusion. Oxygen diffuses through surfactant
29
Surfactant
Coats membrane of alveoli Reduces pressure required to inflate alveoli by lowering surface tension. Oxygen passes through alveoli wall into blood capillaries and into red blood cells. When exhaling, process is reversed and oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in alveoli released as waste gas.
30
Diaphragm
Domelike muscle below lungs. Flattens to draw air in and expands to force air out.
31
Cardiovascular system is also circulatory system
Heart delivers deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. Gets oxygenated and circulated to the body.
32
What symptoms would you expect in a patient with low blood oxygen?
Weakness and low energy
33
Heart does this….deliver
Deliver nutrients, removing waste products, regulating hormones, and fighting infections circulating blood and lymph throughout body.
34
Circulatory system transports
Transports materials to and from the body’s cells. Blood is the carrier.
35
TOONHI AND AWAY WASTE CO2 and Salt
Circulatory system brings To tO Oxygen (respiratory system) Nutrients (from digestive system) Hormones (insulin secreted by glands and nerve cells) Immune cells AWAY WASTE (eventually secretes as urine) CO2 (exhaled) Salts (often retained by body)
36
Arteries>arterioles> capillaries
Thick walled vessels carry oxygenated blood away from heart (no one way valves)
37
Veins
Thin walled vessels carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Blood first diffuses in the lungs into tiny capillaries and then returns to the heart through venules that merge to create larger veins.
38
Heart has 4 chambers
Right and left atrium on top Right and left ventricles on the bottom
39
Medial
Nearer to the midline In anatomical position, the little finger is medial to the thumb
40
Lateral
The opposite of medial further away from bodies midline In the anatomical position, the thumb is lateral to the little finger
41
Proximal
Refers to Structures closer to the center of the body. The hip is proximal to the knee.
42
Distal
Refers to structures further away from the center of the body. The knee is distal to the hip.
43
Cephalic cephalad
Adverbs meaning towards the head
44
Cranial
Adjective meaning skull
45
Caudad - caudal
Caudad-Adverb meaning towards the tail or posterior Caudal is the adjective meaning of the Hindquarters
46
Abdomen has 4 quadrants with center being umbilicus (navel)
RUQ-duodenum, part of the ascending and transverse:, hepatic flexure, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, parentheses head parentheses, right kidney, and right adrenal gland
47
RLQ
Cecum, appendix, right ureter, right fallopian tube, and right ovary
48
LUQ
Stomach, liver, parentheses left lobe parentheses, pancreas, parentheses body parentheses, left kidney, left adrenal gland, splenic, flexure, spleen, part of transverse and descending colon
49
LLQ
Left ureter, left fallopian tube, left ovary, part of descending:, and sigmoid colon
50
Ventral cavity
Thoracic and abdominal pelvic cavities separated by the diaphragm (Skin, skeletal muscles, and bone)
51
Thoracic cavity
Above the diaphragm and contains the lungs and mediastinum, which separates the cavity into right and left compartments. The heart, trachea, esophagus, and thymus gland lie within the mediastinum
52
Mediastinum
Heart, trachea, esophagus, and thymus gland
53
Abdominopelvic cavity
Extends below the diaphragm to the pelvic floor, contains the upper abdominal cavity and the lower pelvic cavity (not physically separated) Abdominal cavity-stomach, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, large, and small intestines Pelvic cavity-in case in the pelvic bones contains the internal reproductive organs, the bladder, and the distal part of the colon
54
Pelvic cavity
In case in the pelvic bones, contains the internal reproductive organs, the bladder, and the distal part of the colon
55
Upper abdominal cavity
Stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, large, and small intestines
56
Parietal layer visceral layer
Parietal the lining of the cavity walls Visceral layer lines, the organs
57
Dorsal cavity
Located on the posterior dorsal aspect of the body and contains the brain and spinal cord
58
Cranial cavity
In case in cranial bones at the bottom and skull cap the top, this cavity contains the brain, the 12 cranial nerves in the pituitary gland
59
Meninges
Dura mater, arachnoid mater and Pia mater lines the cranial cavity and surrounds the brain and spinal cord and contains cerebral spinal fluid between the arachnoid mater and Pia mater in the subarachnoid space. Meninges and cerebral spinal fluid protects and cushions the dorsal cavity
60
Epithelial tissue
Lines the internal and external surfaces of the body consists of squamous cuboidal and columnar cells they can expand and contract like on the inner lining of the bladder
61
Connective tissue
Connective tissue provides the structure of the body, as well as the links between various body parts. Tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone are all examples of connective tissue.
62
Muscle tissue
Muscle tissue is composed of tiny fibers, which contract to move the skeleton. There are three types of muscle tissue, smooth, cardiac and skeletal.
63
Nerve tissue
Nerve tissue makes up the nervous system. It is composed of nerve cells, nerve fibers, neuroglia, and traits.
64
DNA is the primary carrier of genetic info. RNA is the Messenger that transmits genetic info to the cytoplasm for nucleotide bases each
Nucleotide bases are: Cytosine adenine guanine plus DNA-thymine and RNA-uracil
65
Enzymes
Enzymes are protein enzymes are not acidic Large molecules that serve as catalyst for certain biological reactions
66
To find neutrons, take atomic weight and subtract the number of protons
