A&P 3.1 fluid network & cardiovascular system Flashcards
Rectus abdominus
A, I, O
Superior attachment: xipoid process of sternum, costal cartilage ribs 5-7
Inferior attachments: pubic crest, pubic symphysis
Action: flexion of trunk (spine), posterior tilt of pelvis
Adductor longus
A, I, O
Proximal attachment: body of pubis, just below crest
Distal attachment: linea aspera of femur
Action: adduction of hip, assists flexion of hip
Pubis landmarks
Inferior and superior rami
Crest of pubis
Body of pubis
Rectus sheath
Made of aponeurosis of the other abdominal muscles
Three communication networks
Fascial - mechanical information
Neural - coded electrical information
Fluid - chemical information passed by means of all fluids
Lymphatic system
General
Provides an open pathway for the return of fluids and proteins from interstitial spaces and fats absorbed by from the intestine to general circulation
Also involved in immunity and resistance to disease and removal and destruction of dead RBC’S
Plasma
The fluid portion of the blood
Interstitial or extracellular fluid
Located in microscopic spaces between cells
Intracellular or cytosol fluid
Watery fluid inside cells
Blood
Parts
BREAK DOWN CARD
Liquid Connective tissue that consists of fluid and cells
Red blood cells - RBC - erythrocytes
White blood cells - WBC - leukocytes
Platelets - thrombocytes
Fluid - plasma
WBC produced by
Stem cells - many types
Bone marrow produces all three types
Functions of blood
Transportation
Homeostasis
Protection
Transportation
Vital pickup and delivery service for the body
Homeostasis
Regulatory functions keystone of the body’s heat regulating mechanism
Protection
Blood clots which protects against excessive blood loss.
WBC’s protect against disease by carrying on phagocytosis along with several anti-bodies
