What is the function of the Circulatory System
Moves blood, nutrients, CO2 and cellular waste throughout the body
What is the function of the Pulmonary System
Moves blood between the heart and lungs and removes CO2 and absorbs O2 into
the blood to transport from the lungs to the rest of the body (respiratory waste)
What is the function of the Nervous System
The system that controls virtually all activities of the body, both voluntary and
involuntary
What is the function of the Endocrine System
The complex message and control system that integrates many body functions
through the release of hormones (brain controls release of hormones using
endocrine glands)
What is the function of the GI System
Intake and breakdown of food to provide nourishment through the body via CSF
and Circulatory system (secretion of water and enzymes and excretion of waste
products)
What is the function of the Urinary System
Control fluid balance in the body, filter and eliminate waste, and control PH
balance in the body
What is the function of the Reproductive System
Function of the system is to reproduce
What is the function of the Limbic System
Establishes emotional states, links conscious, intellectual functions (these can
influence the immune system) of the cerebral cortex with the unconscious and
autonomic functions of the brain stem, and facilitates memory storage/retrieval
ORGANS OF THE ABDOMEN & FUNCTIONS
Liver and Function
(RUQ) Solid organ that is in the right upper quadrant right below the diaphragm,
its produces bile, stores glucose, for immediate use by the body and produces
many substances that help regulate immune responses (helps us metabolize
anything we intake)
Gallbladder and Function
(RUQ) A sac on the undersurface of the liver that collects bile from the liver and
discharges it into the duodenum, through the common bile duct
, Pancreas and Function
(RUQ)Flat Solid organ that lies below the liver and the stomach; its a major
source of digestive enzymes and produces the hormone insulin
Large Intestine and Function
(EVERY QUADRENT) Portion of the digestive tube that encircles the abdomen
around the small bowel, consisting of the cecum, the colon and the rectum, it
helps regulate water balance and eliminate solid waste
Kidney and Function
(L&R UQ) Two retroperitoneal organs that excrete the end products of the
metabolism as urine and regulate the body's salt and water content
Bladder and Function
A reservoir and active excretory organ for urine
Stomach and Function
(LUQ)Holds the food and mixes it with acid and enzymes that continue to break
the food down into a liquid or paste. (Saliva is the first to start breaking food
down)
Spleen and Function
(LUQ) Solid Organ, Located inside the left ribcage above stomach; Fights
invading germs in the blood (Produces RBC and majority of our blood)
Small Intestine and Function
Consists of three parts: The duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, it helps further
digest food extract water and move waste.
Appendix
(RLQ) no use
What are Solid Organs
Solid Masses of tissue where much of the chemical work of the body takes place
(liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys) Filters))
What are Hollow Organs
Structures through which materials pass, such as the stomach, small intestines,
large intestines, ureters, and urinary bladder
Anatomical Planes of the body
Transverse (axial) Plane
Cuts body in half at the waist
Sagittal
Cuts body in half from the Vag line
Coronal Plane
Cuts body in half from vertically from the side
What does Distal mean?
Farther from the trunk or nearer to the free end of the extremity
What does Proximal mean?
