central nervous system (brain an spinal cord); peripheral nervous system (nerves that connect brain and spinal cord to other parts of body)

3 parts of brain

cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem

autonomic/involuntary nervous system

conducts impulses to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands; controls heart rate and breathing

gustatory

Work Flow

how the work progresses through the department or processing area. *Dirty to Clean

Upper limb bones

humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals and phalanges

oral cavity

ingest food, mix w/ saliva and swallow

breathing

inhalation and expiration; exchange of air between atmosphere and alveoli of lungs

sternal saws, open heart instruments, coronary dilators

instruments used for circulatory system

total hip and knee sets; osteotomes; screw sets

instruments used for skeletal system

Sharps

instruments/devices with points/blades

smooth muscle

involuntary movement; slower to contract and relax; common throughout body systems (e.g. digestive tract)

Joints

junctions between bones; articulation

patella

knee bone

instruments used for digestive system

laparoscopes, sigmoidoscope, colonoscope, laparotomy set

epidermis; dermis; hypodermis

layers of integument

hyoid bone

located in neck; supports tongue and swallowing; only bone NOT articulated w/another

ventricles

lower chambers; force blood out of heart into arteries

digestion and absorption

main functions of digestive system (GI tract)

cerebellum

maintains balance

cardiac muscle

makes up heart; contracts automatically; involuntary and rhythmical

craniotomy

making an opening into the skull to access the brain

protect membrane between bones and soft tissue of central nervous system

meninges

carry messages from brain to organs and muscles

motor nerves

tongue

moves food around; assist w/swallowing

autonomic system

nerves communicate w/visceral organs

peripheral nervous system

nerves connecting brain and spinal cord to the other outside parts of the body

upper respiratory system

nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, sinuses and larynx

sense of smell

olfactory

somatic system

peripheral nerves communicate w/ skin and skeletal muscles

salivary glands

produce saliva to cleanse teeth and dissolve food chemicals; mucous used to lubricate pharynx

Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA)

protects workers; OSHA standards are required by law; sets occupational exposure limits for all chemicals in the workplace under mSDS (material safety data sheet); "right to know"; Emergency eyewash stations

when veins vs. arteries are reversed in the concept of blood flow

pulmonary; bluish color of vein indicate blood needs oxygen

circulatory system

pumps blood (tissue) throughout the entire body and removes waste products

heart

pumps more than 10 gallons of blood a minute through arteries and veins; has 4 chambers

pharynx

receives food and transports to esophagus

stomach

receives food from esophagus; mixes with gastric juices; moves chyme to duodenum

Function of CS/SPD

receives, cleans, decontaminates, assembles, inspects, disinfects, sterilizes reusable medical and surgical devices

parotidectomy

removing a salivary gland because of a tumor formation

tonsillectomy

removing lymph tissue in the pharynx (throat)

Carpal Tunnel Repair

removing tissue displaced bone in wrist area to release pressure on median nerve

skeletal muscle

responds to stimulation by contracting and relaxing; voluntary; striated; *attached to bone by a tendon

separated by septum

right and left chambers

disposable sharps must be disposed in

rigid biohazard container

Pectoral girdle

scapula and clavicle connect bones of arms and aids movemnet

pancreas

secretes pancreatic juice for digestion; regulates blood sugar

voluntary nervous system

sensation; mental function; skeletal muscle contractions

carry information to the brain
