Phlebotomy Book- Chapter 5 Flashcards
structures of the integumentary system- (3)
-skin
-hair & nails
-sweat
functions of the integumentary system- (3)
-protect
-temperature regulation
-sensory perception
skeletal system structures- (4)
-bones
-cartilages
-ligaments
-joints
skeletal system function- (2)
-protection
-support
structures of muscular system- (2)
-muscles
-tendons
functions of the muscular system- (3)
-movement
-maintain posture
-produce heat
types of muscles- (2)
-voluntary
-involuntary
muscle tissue contracts or shortens to move- (3)
-parts of the skeleton
-vessels
-internal organs
muscles also produce-
body heat
some muscles stay partially contracted to-
help maintain posture
voluntary muscles-
skeletal muscles that produce movement & facial expressions
Involuntary muscles line- (2)
-blood vessels
-walls of hollow organs such as intestines
involuntary cardiac muscles-
pump blood through the heart
types of involuntary muscles- (2)
-smooth muscle
-cardiac muscle
structures of the lymphatic & immune system- (6)
-lymphatic vessels
-lymph nodes
-glands
-thymus
-tonsils
-spleen
functions of the lymphatic & immune system- (4)
-removes foreign substances
-combat disease
-maintain tissue fluid balance
-absorbs fats from digestive tract
respiration/breathing is the process of-
taking in oxygen & giving off carbon dioxide
oxygen enters the lungs & is transferred to-
hemoglobin on the red blood cells
red blood cells transport oxygen to-
the tissues of the body
blood picks up waste gases, including CO2, in the tissue & carries them to-
the lungs
the gases leave the blood cells & are removed from the body when-
the person exhales
internal respiration-
gas exchange between the tissue cells & the blood
external respiration-
exchange of gases between the blood & the lungs
ventilation-
mechanism of breathing that exchanges gases between the lungs & the external environment
structures of the respiratory system- (8)
-nasal cavity
-oral cavity
-pharynx
-larynx
-trachea
-bronchi
-bronchioles
-lungs
functions of the respiratory system- (2)
-exchange O2 & CO2 between blood & air
-regulates blood pH (acidosis & alkalosis)
respiratory acidosis-
happens if lungs do not adequately remove CO2 from the blood, the increase in CO2 level makes the blood more acidic (lower pH)
respiratory alkalosis-
when too much CO2 is expelled from the blood (hyperventilation), the blood becomes more alkaline (higher pH)
functions of the digestive system- (3)
-digestion
-absorption of nutrients
-elimination of wastes
structures of the nervous system- (3)
-brain
-spinal cord
-nerves
functions of the nervous system- (3)
-detect sensations
-control movements & processes
-intellectual functions
structures of the endocrine system- (8)
-hypothalamus
-pineal body
-pituitary
-thyroid
-parathyroid
-adrenal glands
-pancreas
-gonads
function of the endocrine system-
regulation of body processes
structures of the cardiovascular system- (3)
-heart
-blood vessels
-blood
functions of the cardiovascular system- (3)
-transport
-immune response
-body temperature
structures of the urinary system- (4)
-kidneys
-ureters
-bladder
-urethra
functions of the urinary system- (3)
-removes waste
-regulate pH & ion balance
-maintain water balance
structures of the female reproductive system- (5)
-ovaries
-vagina
-uterus
-mammary glands
-associated structures
functions of the female reproductive system- (2)
-produce oocytes, ova, & hormones
-fetal development
structures of the male reproductive system- (4)
-testes
-accessory structures
-ducts
-penis
functions of the male reproductive system- (2)
-produce & transport sperm
-produce hormones
test panels-
group of tests that assess one organ or system
test profiles- (2)
-group of tests that assess at least 2 body systems
-may be designed to assess overall health & well-being
