4 major functions of the Nervous System
Maintaining homeostasis
integrating information
control of muscle and glands
receiving sensory input
4 effects of Aging on the nervous System
Decrease sensory neurons
decrease motor neurons
Decrease size & weight
Decrease neuronal function
3 types of sensory receptors
photoreceptors
chemoreceptors
mechanoreceptors
3 disruptions to Pain receptors
local anesthesia
general anesthesia
gate control theory
4 functions of blood
transport gases, nutrients and waste
transport processed molecules
maintaining body temperature
clot formation
veins of abdomen and pelvis
ovarian vein
suprarenal vein
testicular vein
3 veins of lower limbs
Femoral Vein
Popliteal vein
Great suprarenous vein
4 functions of the heart
routing blood
generating blood pressure
ensuring 1 way blood flow
regulating blood supply
4 large veins carrying blood to the heart
Inferior vena cava
superior vena cava
pulmonary veins
coronary sinus
4 heart medications
Nitroglycerin
calcium channel blockers
Digitalis
Antihypertensive drugs
4 functions of circulatory system
- Carries blood
- Exchanges nutrients, waste products, and gases with tissues
- Transports substances
- Helps regulate blood pressure
- Directs blood flow to the tissue
thrombus freely floating in the bloodstream
Embolus
normal vision
20/20
gland found in upper part of thoracic cavity that secretes thymosin for immunity system
Thymus
type of glasses use if lenses are removed
concave
hormone that stimulates fats and favors protein breakdown
Growth hormone
connects the 3rd and 4th ventricles in the midbrain
cerebral aqueduct
meaty and savory taste
umami
fatty protective wrappings around the axon
myelin sheaths
blood pressure is most commonly taken in what artery
brachial artery
responsible for sexual emotions and homeostasis
Hypothalamus
bind to intracellular receptors in the target cell
Lipid soluble hormones
accumulation of aqueous humor due to blockage of venous ring
Glaucoma
chemical messenger secreted into the blood, travels to a distant target tissue
Hormones
may cause changes in the transcription and translation when bound to appropriate signals and typically bind to hydrophobic chemical signals
Intracellular receptors
chemical substances released from the presynaptic terminal and are normally broken down by enzymes
neurotransmitters
can cause constrictions in the blood vessels when present in large amounts
Antidiuretic hormone
lives for about 120 days in males and 110 in females, loses nuclei
RBC
removes bacteria and cell debris from CNS
Microglial
