2. Integumentary System
Function of the Skin
Protection
Covers internal structure and protects them from the
external environment
Synthesizes Vit. D
Exposure to UV light causes skin to make vit. D
Liver and Kidney turn Vitamin D into calcitriol
Calcitriol regulates calcium and phosphorous
production
3. Function of the Skin
Sensory reception

Receive messages of touch, pressure, pain and
temperature
Temperature Regulation

Evaporate cooling
4. Layers of the Skin
3 Major Layers
a. Epidermis
b. Dermis
c. Subcutaneous
5. Epidermis
Outer layer
Thin
Divided into 2 layers
-Stratum Germinativum
Superior to dermis
Produce cells of epidermis
-Stratum Corneum
Tough layer of epidermis
Protects body from water loss and gain
6. Dermis
Region of connective tissue
Under epidermis
Contains collagenous and elastic fibers
There are flexible, but also resilient
Sensory Nerves
Take nerve impulses from the skin
7. Subcutaneous
Under the dermis

4 Basic Shapes
Long bones: Femur
Short bones: wrist and ankle
Flat bones : Skulls and scapula
Irregular Bones: Vertebrae
14. Skeleton is divided in to
Parts
Axial Skeleton : 80 bones. Which forms the
longitudinal axis in the body (skull, vertebrae, &
bony thorax)
Appendicular Skeleton : composed of 126 bones
of the limbs and the pectoral and pelvic girdles,
which attach the limbs to the axial skeleton
16. Parts of the Bone Structure
Periosteum

Possible problems if not set by the doctor
Main descriptors used with fractures
21. Types of Fractures
Comminuted: Bone breaks into many fragments
Compression: Bone is crushed
Depressed: broken bone portion is pressed
inward
Impacted: broken bone ends are into each other
Spiral: Ragged break occurs when excessive
twisting forces are applied to a bone
Greenstick: Bone breaks incompletely, much in
the way a green twig breaks

28. Nervous System
Master controlling and communicating
system of the body
3 functions
Monitor changes occurring both inside and
outside the body (stimuli) and then gathered
information is the sensory input
Processes and interpret the sensory input and
makes decision what should be done (integration)
Effects as response by activating muscle or glands
via MOTOR OUTPUT
29. Nervous System
Does not work alone in regulating and
maintaining body homeostasis
Endocrine system is the 2nd
important
regulating system
30. Structural Classification

consists of the brain and spinal cord
act as integrating and command centers of the nervous system
Peripheral Nervous System
outside the CNS
Consists of nerves
Spinal Nerves – impulses to and from the spinal cord
Cranial Nerves – impulses to and from the brain
31. PNS Functional Classification
Sensory(afferent) Division
keeps the CNS constantly informed of events going on both inside and
outside the body
Motor (efferent) Division
activate muscles and organs, they effect a motor response
2 subdivision
Somatic nervous system
Voluntary
Autonomic Nervous System
involuntary
33. Supporting Cells in CNS
“lumped together” as NEUROGLIA
Has many types of cells that support,
insulate, and protect the delicate neurons
34. CNS Glia
Astrocytes
star shaped cells
account nearly half of the neural tissue
form a living barrier between capillaries and
neurons and play a role in making exchanges
between the two
Help protects the neurons from harmful
substances
Help control the chemical environment in the
brain by picking up excess ions and recapturing
release neurotransmitters
35. CNS Glia
Microglia
Spiderlike phagocytes
It dispose debris, including dead brain cells and
bacteria
Ependymal Cells
Line the cavities of the brain and the spinal cord
Beating of their cilia helps to circulate the CSF
that fills the cavities and forms a protective
cushion around the CNS
36. CNS Glia
Oligodendrocytes
Wrap the flat extensions tightly around the nerve
fibers
Produce fatty insulating coverings called myelin
sheath
37. PNS Glia

neurons, muscles, or glands
40. Central Nervous System
(Functional Anatomy of the Brain)
Cerebral Hemispheres
Called Cerebrum
Most superior part of the brain
Enclose and obscure most of the brain stem
Gyri - elevated ridges of tissue cells
Sulci - shallow grooves that separates Gyri
Fissures – deeper grooves w/c separates large
regions of the brain
Broca’s Area – involved in ability to speak
42. Damage to the left parietal lobe
can result in what is called "Gerstmann's
Syndrome.
includes right-left confusion
difficulty with writing (agraphia)
difficulty with mathematics (acalculia).
It can also produce disorders of language (aphasia)
inability to perceive objects normally (agnosia).
43. Damage to the right parietal lobe
can result in neglecting part of the body or space
(contralateral neglect), which can impair many
self-care skills
such as dressing and washing. Caused
difficulty in making things (constructional
apraxia)
denial of deficits (anosagnosia)
drawing ability.
44. Bi-lateral damage (large lesions to both sides)
can cause "Balint's Syndrome," a visual
attention and motor syndrome.
inability to voluntarily control the
gaze (ocular apraxia)
inability to integrate components of a
visual scene (simultanagnosia)
inability to accurately reach for an
object with visual guidance (optic
ataxia)
45. Frontal Lobe
motor function
problem solving
Spontaneity
Memory
Language
Initiation
Judgment
impulse control
social and sexual behavior.
46. frontal lobe damage exhibit little spontaneous
facial expression, which points to the role of the
frontal lobes in facial expression
Broca's Aphasia, or difficulty in speaking, has
been associated with frontal damage
frontal damage displayed fewer spontaneous
facial movements, spoke fewer words (left
frontal lesions) or excessively (right frontal
lesions).
difficulty in interpreting feedback from the
environment
47. Occipital Lobes
center of our visual perception system
Visual Perception
Color Recognition
not particularly vulnerable to injury because
of their location at the back of the brain
48. trauma to the brain could produce subtle
changes to our visual-perceptual system, such as
visual field defects and scotomas
Damage to one side of the occipital lobe
causes homonomous loss of vision with exactly
the same "field cut" in both eyes.
visual hallucinations and illusions]
50. 8 principle symptoms of
temporal lobe damage
1) disturbance of auditory sensation and perception

nervous tissue from blows and trauma
59. Chemistry of Hormones
Hormones – chemical substances that are
secreted by the cells into the extracellular
fluid and regulate the metabolic activity of
other cells in the body
60. Mechanism of Hormone Action
Target cells / Target organs
hormones affects only certain tissue cells/
organs
64. Hormones of Anterior

are proteins (peptides)
act through second messenger systems
regulated by hormonal stimuli and in most cases,
negative feedback

release during childbirth and nursing women
stimulates powerful contractions of the uterine
muscle
Causes milk ejection

the urine
as a result urine volume decreases and blood
volume increases
Increase BP by constricting the arterioles
sometimes referred as VASOPRESSIN

converted to body heat and chemical energy
important for normal tissue growth and development
72. Thyroid Gland

decreases blood calcium level
made by the so-called C (parafollicular) cells found
in connective tissue between the follicles
Released directly to the blood
Hypocalcemic hormone
73. Parathyroid Gland
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)
or parathormone
Important regulator of calcium ion homeostasis of
the blood

produces three major groups of steroid hormones
collectively called – CORTICOSTERIODS
Mineralocorticoids
Glucocorticoids
Sex Hormones
75. Hormones of Adrenal Cortex
Mineralocorticoids
mainly aldosterone
important in regulating the mineral (salt) content
of the blood

reabsorb the minerals
Help regulate both water and electrolyte balance
in body fluids
76. Hormones of Adrenal Cortex
Glucocorticoids
include cortisone and cortisol
promote normal cell metabolism
help the body to resist long0-term stressors
hyperglycemic hormones

molecules called – PROSTAGLANDIN
released from the adrenal cortex in response to
rising blood levels of ACTH
