Unit 5 Flashcards
Body Cavities
Cranial cavity
Vertebral cavity
Thoracic cavity
pleural cavities - lung
Pericardial cavity - heart
Mediastinum
Abdominopelvic
Separated by diaphragm
Abdominal cavity
Pelvic cavity
Ventral Body Cavity
Viscera lined with serous membrane
Parietal layer - lines cavity walls
Visceral Layer - lines organ surfaces
Serous fluid to reduce friction
Parietal/visceral peritoneum - abdominopelvic cavity
Nervous system
Central Nervous system
Brain and spinal cord
Peripheral nervous system
Sensory: Afférent
Motor : Efférent
Somatic: skeletal muscle, touch, temp, pain
Autonomic : Smooth, cardiac muscle, glands, sensory for organs
Sympathetic(flight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest & digest)
Somatic
Effect skeletal muscle (voluntary)
One neuron system
Acetylcholine excitatory transmitter
Autonomic
Cardiac and smooth muscle and glands
Two neuron system: presynaptic, and post synaptic
Pre synaptic neuron - acetylcholine, excitatory
postsynaptic neuron - varies between sympathetic (norepinephrine, epinephrine) and parasympathetic (acetylcholine)
Excite and inhibit
Division of autonomic
Sympathetic, thoracolumbar region
Parasympathetic, brainstem 3,7,9,10 and sacral
Sympathetic
Origin of neuron cell body- thoracolumbar region of spinal cord
Fiber length, presynaptic short postsynaptic long
Ganglia close to spinal cord
Sympathetic chain, prevertebral and collateral ganglia
Parasympathetic
Brain and sacral spinal cord
Presynaptic long post synaptic short
In/near visceral effector of organs (terminal ganglia)
Named ganglia in head
Intramural ganglia in thorax and abdomen
Only innervates internal organs
Inhibits or slows down functions
Only major not inhibited is digestion
Presynaptic neuron bodies - CN III, VII, IX, X, S2-4
Cranial outflow of parasympathetic
Oculomotor nerve - smooth muscle in eye
Facial nerve - lacrimal, submandibular, sublingual
Glossopharyngeal nerve - parotid gland
Vagus nerve - organs in thorax & GI tract through 2/3 of transverse colon
Sacral outflow
Presynaptic neurons originate from s2-4
Fibers travel through ventral root to spinal nerve to ventral rami
Exit ventral ramifications as pelvic splanchnic nerve
Synapse in intramural ganglia
Post synaptic fibers innervates remainder of GI tract from distal 1/3 of transverse colon & pelvic viscera
Sympathetic nervous system
Widespread, speeds up and stimulate functions
Major body function not stimulate is digestion
Paravertebral ganglia - sympathetic chain, both sides, extend from cranial base to coccyx
Pervertebral ganglia - abdominal aorta, celiac ganglion, superior mesenteric ganglion, inferior mesenteric ganglion
Sympathetic outflow
Synapses at paravertebral ganglia at same level
Synapse at paravertebral ganglia at different level
Does not synapse on chain (splanchnic nerve) - will synapse at a prevertebral ganglia on abdominal aorta
Adrenal medulla
Postsynaptic sympathetic neurons located in medulla of adrenal gland.
Produce epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Cardiovascular system
Heart
Blood vessel
Blood
Transportation of nutrients, waste, and hormones
Pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit
Right side of heart pumps blood to lungs then goes back left side of the heart.
Left side of heart pumps blood to the body and goes back to right side of the heart
Great vessels of the heart
Superior vena cava
Inferior vena cava
Pulmonary eins
Pulmonary trunk and arteries
Aorta
Right side
Atrium
Superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, coronary sinus
Ventricle
Deoxygenated blood into pulmonary trunk that splits into two arteries
Left side
Oxygenated blood from 2 right pulmonary veins and 2 left pulmonary veins
Aorta: ascending aorta, arch of aorta, descending aorta
Valves
Atrioventricular
Tricuspid - between right atrium and right ventricle
Bicuspid or mitral valve - between left atrium and left ventricle
Semilunar valve
Pulmonary semilunar valve - between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk
Aortic semilunar valve - between left ventricle and aorta
Heart sounds
Systole : ventricle contract to pump blood out of the heart
Diastole : ventricle relax so blood can fill again
Layers of the heart
Epicardium
Myocardium
Endocardium
Internal features - right atrium
Pectinate muscle
Fossa oval is
Opening of coronary sinus
Internal features - right ventricle
Tricuspid valve
Chordae tendineae
Pulmonary trunk
Pulmonary semilunar valve
Trabeculae carneae
Papillary muscle
Internal features - left ventricle
Aortic semilunar valve
Trabeculae carneae
Papillary muscle
Aorta
Bicuspid valve
Chordae tendineae
Arterial coronary circulation
Maximal blood flow to the myocardium occurs when the heart is relaxed
There is very little blood flow through the coronary circulation when the heart it s contracting
Contraction of myocardium compresses coronary arteries
Entrances into the coronary circulation are partially blocked by the cusp of the open aortic semilunar valve
Circulation
Base of aorta - right coronary artery - marginal artery, posterior interventricular artery
Left coronary artery - circumflex artery, anterior interventricular artery
Venous coronary circulation
Small cardiac vein, middle cardiac vein, great cardiac vein - coronary sinus - right atrium
Intrinsic Conduction
SA Node- AV Node- AV Bundle (His) - Bundle Branches - Purkinje Fibers
Fetal vs post-natal circulation
Fetus has no functioning lungs
Can’t provide nutrients
cannot remove waste
Utilizes mother’s circulation to compensate for deficiencies
Fetal circulation
Placenta
Umbilical vein towards baby (oxygenated by mother circulation)
2 umbilical arteries away from baby (deoxygenated)
Umbilical vein pass through primitive liver and carries blood to IVC
Régresses to form ligamentum teres which is found within inferior edge of falciform ligament
Foramen ovale
Shunts blood from right atrium to left atrium to bypass the lungs
Small amounts to lung to nourish tissue
Fossa ovalis after closure
Ductus arteriosus
shunts blood that made to left pulmonary artery to aorta
Ligamentum arteriousus after closure
Respiratory system
Nasal cavity
Pharynx
Trachea
Bronchi
Lungs
Gas exchange, sound production, air conditioning (humidify/warm), air conduction, air filtration
Divisions
Conducting division : conduit for air to reach sites of gas exchange (nose - terminal bronchioles)
Respiratory division : gas exchange (respiratory bronchioles - alveolus)
Conducting division
Nose, Pharynx (Naso, Oro, laryngo) Larynx, trachea, primary bronchi, secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles
Respiratory division
Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, alveoli
Nasal Cavity
external nares (nostrils)
Lateral wall contains 3 pairs of nasal conchae
Filtration, warm, humidify
Conchae - create turbulence of air entering nasal cavity, aids warming air, remove particulate material
Meatuses- spaces below each concha, nasolacrimal ducts and paranasal sinuses open into meatuses
Pharynx
Vagus and Glossopharyngeal sensory innervation
Vagus motor innervation
Nasopharynx - Base of skill to soft palate, pharyngeal tonsil (adenoid if enlarged), Opening of auditory tube (Eustachian tube or pharyngotympanic tube)
Oropharynx - Soft palate to tip of epiglottis, air and food passage, palatine tonsils, lingual tonsils
Laryngopharynx - tip of epiglottis to superior esophagus, inferior border of cricoid cartilage, air and food passage
