of the health care team • Anatomical position refers to patient standing erect with palms facing examiner 530 Summary • Directional terms are expressed in anatomical terminology – Up or down, front or back, and right or left always refertopatient,notexaminer Internalbodystructureisclassifiedinto anatomicalplanesofthehumanbodyandcan bethoughtofasimaginarystraightline divisions 531 Copyright â 2013 by Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC, an Ascend Learning Company 177 9/10/2012 Summary • The appendicular region of the body includes limbs, or extremities; the axial region consists of the head, neck, thorax, and abdomen • The abdomen usually is divided into four quadrants: upper right, lower right, upper left, and lower left • The three major cavities of the human body are the thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, and pelvic cavity 532 Summary • The thoracic cavity contains the trachea, esophagus, thymus, heart, great vessels, lungs, cavities, and membranes that surround them • The abdominopelvic cavity is surrounded by membranes and contains organs/blood vessels • The cytoplasmic membrane encloses cytoplasm and forms the outer boundary of the cell 533 Summary • Cytoplasm lies between the cytoplasmic membrane and the nucleus – Specialized structures in the cell (organelles) are located in cytoplasm; they perform functions key to the survival of the cell – The nucleus is a large, membrane‐bound organelle that controls all other organelles in cytoplasm • All human cells, except reproductive (sex) cells, reproduce by a process known as mitosis in which cells divide to multiply 534 Copyright © 2013 by Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC, an Ascend Learning Company 178 9/10/2012 Summary • Four main types of tissue make up organs – Epithelial tissue covers surfaces, forms structures – Connective tissue is made of cells separated from each other by intercellular material, known as extracellular matrix – Muscle tissue is contractile tissue responsible for movement – Nervous tissue has the ability to conduct electrical signals known as action potentials 535 Summary • A system is a group of organs arranged to perform a more complex function than any one organ can perform alone • The 11 major organ systems in the body are integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive • The integumentary system consists of skin and accessory structures such as hair, nails, and a variety of glands – Functions include protecting body against injury and dehydration, defense against infection, temperature regulation 536 Summary • Skeletal system consists of bone and associated connective tissues, including cartilage, tendons, ligaments – Provides rigid framework for support, protection Providessystemofleversonwhichmusclesactto producebodymovements Threeprimaryfunctionsofmuscularsystem aremovement,posturalmaintenance,heat production 537 Copyright â 2013 by Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC, an Ascend Learning Company 179 9/10/2012 Summary • Nervous and endocrine systems are major regulatory and coordinating systems of the body – Nervous system rapidly sends information by means of nerve impulses conducted from one area of the body to another – Endocrine system sends information more slowly by means of chemicals secreted by ductless glands into the bloodstream 538 Summary • Heart and cardiovascular systems are responsible for circulating blood throughout the body – Blood transports nutrients, oxygen to tissues; carries carbon dioxide and waste products away from tissues; carries hormones produced in endocrine glands to their target tissues – Blood also plays key role in temperature regulation, fluid balance – Blood protects body from bacteria and foreign substances 539 Summary • Lymphatic system includes lymph, lymphocytes, lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, and thymus gland – Has three basic functions • Helps maintain fluid balance in tissues • Absorbs fats and other substances from digestive tract • Plays role in immune defense system of body 540 Copyright © 2013 by Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC, an Ascend Learning Company 180 9/10/2012 Summary • Organs of respiratory system and cardiovascular system move oxygen to cells – Move carbon dioxide from cells to where it is released into air – Entrance to respiratory tract begins at nasal cavity and includes the nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx, and larynx – Below the glottis are structures of lower airway and lungs • Include trachea, bronchial tree, alveoli, lungs 541 Summary • The digestive system provides the body with water, electrolytes, and other nutrients used by cells – The gastrointestinal tract is an irregularly shaped tube – Associated accessory organs (mainly glands) secrete fluid into the digestive tract 542 Summary • The urinary system works with other body systems to maintain homeostasis by removing waste products from blood and helping to maintain constant body fluid volume and composition – Contents include two kidneys, two ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra 543 Copyright © 2013 by Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC, an Ascend Learning Company 181
