Systemic anatomy and endocrine system Flashcards
Systemic Anatomy
Systemic anatomy is the study of the body’s organ systems that work together to carry out complex functions.
The integumentary system
The skeletal system
The articular system
The muscular system
The nervous system
The circulatory system
The cardiovascular system
The lymphatic system
The alimentary or digestive system
The respiratory system
The urinary system
The genital (reproductive) system
The endocrine system
Integumentary system
is the Organ system that covers the body
- It includes the skin (epidermis and dermis), hair, nails, sweat glands, and subcutaneous tissue, the tissue beneath the skin
The skeletal system
Consists of bones and cartilage
The articular system
The articular system consists of joints and their associated ligament
The muscular system
Consist of skeletal muscle that act (contract) to move or position parts of the body (e.g., the bones are articulate at joints), or smooth and cardiac muscle that propels, expels, or controls of flow fluids, and contained substances
The nervous system
The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves and ganglia, together with their motor and sensory endings)
The circular system consist of the
Cardiovascular and lymphatic system
The cardiovascular system consists of the…
Heart and blood vessels
Lymphatic system is a network of
Lymphatic vessels
The digestive system
Alimentary or digestive system that consist of the digestive track from the mouth to the anus, with all its associated organs and glands that function in ingestion, mastication, etc
Respiratory system
Consist of the air passage in lungs
Urinary system
Consist of the kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra
The genital (reproductive) system
General systems consist of the gonads, and the other genital organs concern with reproduction
Endocrine system
- Regulating development, growth and metabolism
- maintaining homeostasis of blood composition and volume
- controlling digestive processes
- controlling reproductive activities
Endocrine glands contain what type of tissue?
Epithelial
Endocrine glands makes and releases hormones within a connective tissue framework
Do endocrine glands have excretory ducts?
NO
What are specialized endocrine glands?
Pituitary, pineal, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands
Diencephalon is located below the _______ _______, part of the telencephalon, and above the ____________
- Corpus Collosum
- Mesencephalon
Diencephalon
- Epithalamus (Pineal Gland)
- Thalamus
- Sub-thalamus
- Hypothalamus
Hypothalamus
- The hypothalamus is the lowest level of the diencephalon, situated below the thalamus
- provides neural control of the endocrine system
Pituitary gland (hypophysis)
Hypothalamus controls, pituitary, which controls the thyroid, adrenal, liver, testes, and ovaries
Does the pituitary gland lies inferior or superior to the hypothalamus in sella Turcica of sphenoid bone
inferior
What connects the pituitary, and the hypothalamus together
Infundibulum
What lies directly superior to the anterior pituitary
The optic chiasma
The pituitary gland consist of two lobes: what are they?
- Anterior lobe (adenohypophysis), the hormone producing part
- posterior lobe (neurohypophysis), hormone, releasing part
The anterior pituitary from Rathke’s pouch, which is an embryonic invagination of the _________ epithelium
Pharyngeal
Posterior pituitary from a ________ tissue outgrowth from the hypothalamus
neural
