Final Exam Clo 3 Flashcards
What is skeletal system function
Provides support, framework, muscle movement, protection, stored minerals and produce blood cells
Nervous system
Sensory input, motor response
Composed of CNS( brain and spinal cord) and PNS( nerves that connect periphery of the body to CNS)
Afferent= towards Efferent= away
What does brainstem consist of
Mid brain, pons and medulla
What’s the function of cerebellum
Plans and fine tuned motor movement
Corpus callosum
Allows for communication between the two hemispheres
Connective tissue structures
Connects tissues and organs
Loose connective tissue
And dense connective tissue
Dispensary ligaments
Ligament connecting the ovaries to the pelvic wall
Liver function
Digestion, detoxification, blood sugar regulation
Endocrine system function
Release hormones directly into blood stream and regulates body functions like temp and calcium levels
Cardiovascular system function and anatomy
Function: delivers oxygen, nutrients and hormones
Anatomy: layers of heart ( epicardium myocardium and endocardium)
Left ventricular has thicker myocardium
Eye function and anatomy
Cornea: (clear front layer) - allows light to enter
Iris: controls amount of light through the pupil
Retina: (Back of the eye)- light is converted into electrical signals that travel via the optic nerve to the brain
Digestive system
Duodenum:1st part of small intestine
Jejunum: middle part
Ileum: final part of small intestine
Kidney function and anatomy
Glomerulus: cluster of capillaries and removes waste and excess fluid from blood
Cortex: nephrons- filters, regulate fluid balance and produce hormones
Renal tubule: tiny tubes that filter and remove waste
Renal capsule: tough fibrous layer of tissue that surrounds and protects kidneys
Hilum: provide pathway for filtration
Examples of smooth muscle
Walls of stomach, intestines, bladder, uterus, blood vessels, and iris of the eye.
During which trimester does the fetus bone marrow begin producing blood cells
3rd trimester
Reproductive system
Corpus luteum: temporary gland formed on ovaries after ovulation which produces progesterone
Progesterone: prepares the uterine lining to receive fertilized eggs
Estrogen: women’s reproductive and sex hormones produced in ovaries, adrenal glands and fat cells
Production of testosterone: produced in gonads and adrenal glands
