Human Anatomy lecture Final exam
Atria (receive blood from veins)
- Right atrium: receives deoxygenated blood from = - inferior and superior vena cava - coronary sinus Left atrium : recieves deoxigenated blood from -pulmonary veins
Lymphatic system function
- a system of vessels and nodes that returns excess tissue fluid to the blood - needed because plasma tends to leak out of blood capillaries - NOTE: Most cells get oxygen and nutrients directly from interstitial fluid - filters pathogens to be targeted by immune system
larger lymph vessels
- have valves to maintain flow direction = similar to those veins
Pathway of lymphatic system flow
- throughout most of body, tissue fluid (interstitial fluid) enters lymphatic capillaries - fluid is now called lymph -moves through lymph vessels and lymph nodes -returned to the blood at veins at base of the neck
Parasymphathetic nervous system physiological responses
- triggered at rest - each organ controlled separately - decrease heart rate - increase GI tract secretions and motility -Only innervates visceral organs and other organs shown here (not general body periphery)
Lymphatic capillaries

lymphodema
accumulation of interstitial fluid due to poor lymphatic drainage -example = elephantiasis -caused by a parasitic worm
Middle ear
an air filled space -Ossicles = Malleus (receives vibration from eardrum) = incus = stapes (transmits vibration to oval window) - Oval window = transmits to internal ear -Round window = where pressure in internal ear pushes back out -Pharyngotympanic tube (eustachian tube) =connects middle ear to pharynx = normally closed. Opened by swallowing or yawning
Atrioventricular valves (AV valves)
between atrium and ventricle -Tricuspid (R AV) - between R atrium and ventricle -Bicuspid (L AV) - between L atrium and ventricle These valves are held in place by chordae tendineae, which are anchored to papillary muscles - prevents eversion (prolapse)
Semilunar valves (SL valves)
between great arteries and ventricles -Aortic SL valve --- between left ventricle and aorta -Pulmonary SL valve --- between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk
Classification of epithelium
by layering: simple vs. stratified -by shape: squamous vs. cuboidal vs. columnar =named for the shape of the apical layer

Cornea --> lens --> vitreous humor --> photoreceptors --> ganglion cells e. Lens --> aqueous humor --> vitreous humor --> bipolar cells --> ganglion cells

c. The blind spot
Efferent (motor)
carry impulses to effector organs -somatic motor nervous system -visceral motor (autonomic) nervous system = sympathetic =parasypathetic - rest and digest
Afferent sensory
carry pulses to CNS
Internal ear bony labyrinth
cavities in temporal bone = filled (partially) with perilymph -semicircular canals (balance and equilibrium only) -vestibule (balance and equilibrium only) -cochlea (hearing only)
Tract (nervous)
collection of axons traveling together inside CNS white matter
Ganglion
collection of neuron cell bodies in the PNS
Nucleus
collectiong of neuron cell bodies inside the CNS Gray matter
lymph nodes
contain reticular CT (with reticular fibers) -lymph flows through - pathogens are filtered out by immune cells
31. The maculae of the ear are responsible for sensation of which of the following stimuli? a. Rotation b. Linear acceleration c. Acceleration due to gravity d. b and c e. All of the above
d. b and c
33. Which of the following is/are (a) component(s) of the renal cortex? a. Renal pyramids b. Glomerulus c. Distal convoluted tubule d. b and c e. All of the above
d. b and c
mesentary (serosa)
double layer of peritoneum connecting parietal and visceral peritoneum -supports GI tract - carries vessels & nerves - stores fat
secondarily retroperitoneal
during development some organs become buried in body wall e.g. pancreas -still has peritoneum on one side -has adventitia on other side
Visceral motor (autonomic)
effectors: cardiac and smooth, glands voluntary? never # of synapses = 2
Somatic motor
effectors: skeletal motor voluntary? usually # of synapses = 1
Limbic system
emotion, memory -Amygdala = fear -cingulate gyrus = also important in emotion -hippocampus = forms long-term memories =affected by Alzheimer's disease
statified squamous
function? protection -thickest -keratinized = skin -nonkeratinized = ends of digestive and reproductive tracts
Sulci
grooves between gyri
ganglia
group of neuronal cell bodies in the PNS
Nerves
groups of axons in the pns
components of urinary system
kidney --> ureter --> urinary bladder ---> urethra
Lobes
large regions seperated (mostly) by deep sulci
Mucosa (mucous membrane)
lines lumen (interior space) of GI tract - has simple columnar epithelium throughout most of its length -connective tissue layer called lamina propina
serosa (serous membrane) (peritoneum in abdominopelvic cavity)
lines peritoneal cavity (space between organs) -epithelium (mesothelium) is simple squamous -connective tissue layer -deep (inner) lining of cavity? visceral peritoneum= outer layer of organ wall -superficial lining over cavity? parietal peritoneum = inner layer of body wall -peritoneal cavity is narrow, crowded by organs
Vascular layer of the eye
middle layer -choroid =highly vascular; pigmented (melanin) =provides nutirents and oxygen to inner layer = absorbs scattered light -ciliary body =mostly smooth muscle =attached to lens by ciliary zonule (fibers) =for accommodation (change shape of lens to focus light) =Accommodation -at rest, lens is stretched flat by ciliary zonule --> distant focus - for near focus: contract ciliary body --> less tension in ciliary zonule --> lens recoils to more spherical shape -Iris =smooth muscle -regulates size of pupil (opening) =e.g. smaller for bright light
open body cavities
o E.g. respiratory, digestive, reproductive, urinary tracts
closed body cavities
oDorsal body cavity •Cranial cavity Contains brain •Vertebral cavity Contains spinal chord oVentral body cavity •Thoracic cavity Heart, lungs •Abdominopelvic cavity Mainly organs of digestive, urinary, reproductive systems
intraperitoneal
organs that keep their mesentary e.g. stomach
Fibrous layer of the eye
outermost -sclera = the white of the eye (posterior 5/6) -cornea - transparent =mostly made of regularly arranged collagen =performs most of the light bending =avascular!
Path of nervous signal in retina
photoreceptors ---> bipolar cells ---> ganglion cells -Axons of ganglion cells leave eye as optic nerve (cranial nerve II)
visual neural pathway
photoreceptors --> IDK ---> IDK ---> optic nerve ---> optic chiasm ---> optic tract --> thalamus ---> occipital lobe
General senses
receptors are distributed widely -where are the cell bodies of the general sensory neurons? = dorsal root ganglion of spinal nerves = other sensory ganglia (of cranial nerves)
Inner layer of the eye
retina -Pigmented layer (outer) =Melanin (absorbs light to prevent scattering) =retinal detachment (separation of neural layer from pigmented layer of retina) -Neural layer (inner layer of retina) =photoreceptors ... are on the side away from Light! -rod cells = do not sense color = can sense dim light -cone cells = sense color = cannot sense dim light -Fovea centralis = pit in the retina corresponding to center of visual field = sharpest visual acuity = 100% cones -optic disc = where optic nerve leaves the eye = no photoreceptors --> blind spot
