SYSTEMS IN THE BODY

Locomotor system

Page 9: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM

Page 10: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

LOCOMOTOR SYSTEMNone of the systems

functions in isolation.

passive skeletal & articular systems active muscular system collectively constitute a supersystem

locomotor system

must work together to produce locomotion of the body.

Page 11: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

LOCOMOTOR SYSTEMbrain and nerves of the nervous system

stimulate them to act.

arteries and veins of the circulatory system

supply oxygen and nutrients remove waste from these structures.

sensory organs (especially vision and equilibrium)

play important roles in directing their activities.

Page 12: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Bones are organs, and along with the cartilages form the skeletal system.

Skeletal Systembones and cartilages

Page 13: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

For parts of the human body, other organs, muscles, vessels, etc. a framework is required.

The sketetal system actually provides this framework for the body with its strong composure.

Skeletal Systembones and cartilages

Page 14: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Provides our basic shape. Supports the soft tissuesVital for the movement.Serves as a point of attachment for ligaments, tendons, fascia, and muscle.

Skeletal System

Muscular System

Page 26: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

transports fluids throughout the body.

the heart and blood vessels make up the blood transportation network, the cardiovascular system.

Cardiovascular (Circulatory) System

Page 27: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Cardiovascular (Circulatory) SystemHeart pumps blood throughout the bodyBlood vessels, closed network of tubes, transport the blood.

3 types of blood vessels Arteries transport blood away from the heart. Veins transport blood toward the heart.Capillaries connect the arteries and veins.

where oxygen, nutrients, and wastes are exchanged within the tissues.

Page 28: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Cardiovascular (Circulatory) SystemArteries in 3 classes

According to;1. Amount of smooth muscles & elastic fibers @ tunica media2. Size of the vessel3. Its function

1.Large elastic arteries

2.Medium muscular arteries

3.Small arteries and arterioles

Page 29: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Cardiovascular (Circulatory) SystemLarge elastic arteries

Too much elastic fibers @ tunica mediaExpansion and recoil and constant blood flow to the heart

An example aorta

Page 30: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Cardiovascular (Circulatory) SystemMedium muscular arteries

Smooth muscles @ tunica media Regulation of the diameter of vessels and control of the flow to the parts of the body.

An example radial artery

urine (liquid waste)

Urinary (Excretory) Systemkidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, &

urethra

Page 53: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Urinary (Excretory) SystemThe two bean-shaped kidneys are located in the posterior abdominal region.

The ureters are muscular tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Page 54: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Urinary (Excretory) SystemThe ureters descend down to the pelvis exiting from the kidneys on each side.

They enter the pelvic cavity, and continue their journey to the bladder.

Nerve cell Neuron structural & functional units of the nervous system

Neuroglia- cells supporting neurons

Neurons are specialized for rapid communication.Neuron has:Axon carries information Dendirites in communication with the surrounding neurons

A nerve fiber TWO TYPES

efferent fibersgoes down from the brain or leaves out from the spinal cord to the periphery

carrying information to accomplish a behavior/actionafferent fiberscarries information from periphery or from spinal cord to the brain

Arc reflex

Transmit sensations from the body to the CNSExteroceptive sensations from

skin pain, temperature, touch, & pressure or painProprioceptive sensations from

muscles, tendons, and joints

Somatic & Visceral FibersSomatic fibers

General sensory fibersgeneral somatic afferent [GSA] fibers

Page 70: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Somatic motor fibers general somatic efferent [GSE] fibers

transmit impulses to skeletal (voluntary) muscles.

Somatic & Visceral FibersSomatic fibers

Page 71: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Visceral fibersVisceral sensory fibers

general visceral afferent [GVA] fiberstransmit pain or subconscious visceral reflex sensations

e.g. information concerning distension, blood gas, and blood pressure levels

from hollow organs and blood vessels to CNS

Page 72: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Visceral fibersVisceral motor fibers

general visceral efferent [GVE] fibersTransmit impulses to smooth muscles & glandular tissues.

presynaptic & postsynapti fibers conduct impulses from the CNS to smooth muscle or glands.

presynaptic fibers

postsynaptic fibers

Page 73: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

somatic motor system innervates only skeletal muscle

SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEMsomatic parts of the CNS & PNS

provides sensory & motor innervation to all parts of the body (G. soma)

except viscera in the body cavities, smooth muscle, and glands

transmits sensations of touch, pain, temperature, and position from sensory receptors

In a spinal nerve you will find:Motor fibers

Sensory fibers

Autonomic nervous system fibers

Page 85: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

CRANIAL NERVES Like spinal nerves, cranial nerves

bundles of sensory or motor fibers innervate muscles or glandscarry impulses from sensory receptorsor a combination of motor and sensory fibers.

Page 86: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

CRANIAL NERVES12 pairs part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) pass through foramina or fissures in the cranial cavity.

Page 87: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

CRANIAL NERVES

All nerves except one, the accessory nerve [XI], originate from the brain.

There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, which are numbered I-XII, from rostral to caudal .

Their names reflect their general distribution or function.

Page 88: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

CRANIAL NERVEScarry one or more of the five main functional components.

1. Motor (efferent) fibers 2. Sensory (afferent) fibers 3. Fibers transmitting general sensation e.g., touch, pressure, heat, cold, etc.

4. Fibers conveying sensation from the viscera 5. Fibers transmitting unique sensationse.g., taste, smell

Page 89: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Motor (efferent) fibers

1. Motor fibers to voluntary (striated) musclesinclude somatic motor (general somatic efferent) axons

Facial nerve (CN VII)

Page 90: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Motor (efferent) fibers

include visceral motor (general visceral efferent) axons constitute cranial outflow of parasympathetic system.

2. Motor fibers innervating involuntary muscles or glands

Page 91: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

Motor (efferent) fibers

Presynaptic (preganglionic) fibers emerge from the brain synapse outside the central nervous system (CNS) @ a parasympathetic ganglion.

Postsynaptic (postganglionic) fibers innervate smooth muscles & glands e.g.sphincter pupillae & lacrimal gland

2. Motor fibers innervating involuntary muscles or glands

Page 92: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

CRANIAL NERVESSensory (afferent) fibers

3. Fibers transmitting general sensation e.g., touch, pressure, heat, cold, etc from the skin and mucous membranes. Include somatic sensory (general somatic afferent) fibers.

Page 93: The Anatomy Lesson of Dr.  Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt , 1632

CRANIAL NERVES4. Fibers conveying sensation from the viscera

include visceral sensory (general visceral afferent) fibers conveying information from carotid body and sinus, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, heart, and gastrointestinal tract.
