Slide 1: Nursing Review of Anatomy and Physiology Review for Philippine Nursing Licensure Examination

Slide 3: Outline of Selected Topics in Anatomy and Physiology The Cell  Integumentary  Musculoskeletal  Nervous  Endocrine  Cardiovascular and Hematologic  Gastrointestinal  Urinary/Fluids and Electrolytes  Reproductive 

Slide 4: The Cell  BasicStructural and Functional Unit of the body

Slide 5: Functions of the Cell Basic unit of life 1. Protection and support 2. Movement 3. Communication 4. Cell metabolism and energy release 5. Inheritance 6.

Slide 6: The Cell  Composed of the Cytoplasm, Cell Membrane, the organelles, the nucleus and the inclusions

Slide 8: The Cell The cytoplasm is the viscous,  translucent, watery material where the organelles are located

Slide 9: The Cell The Cell membrane is a semi-  permeable membrane that serves as the boundary separating the cellular structures from the external environment

Slide 11: The cell membrane  Selectively permeable  Bi-lipid layers  Functions to regulate passage of substances

Slide 12: The cell membrane Phagocytosis- cell eating  Pinocytosis- cell drinking  Endocytosis- cell engulfment  Exocytosis- cell excretion 

Slide 15: Cell connections Tight junction= binds adjacent cell together and form permeability barrier, which regulates what material crosses Desmosome= mechanical link that functions to bind cell to one another Hemidesmosomes= anchor the cell to the  basement membrane Gap junction= small channel that allows molecules and ions to pass from one another

Slide 17: The cellular organelles These are the cellular metabolic  units with specific functions to maintain the life of the cell  These include the mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, peroxisomes, cytoskeleton and centrosomes

Slide 18: The mitochondrion The POWERHOUSE of the cell  Contains enzymes and the complexes  responsible for the production of the ATP Also contains mitochondrial DNA  Metabolic processes occurring in this  organelle include – Kreb’s cycle, beta- oxidation of fats, urea cycle, heme synthesis This organelle is maternally inherited 

Slide 20: The endoplasmic reticulum An extensive network of membrane-  enclosed tubules There are two types- Rough and  Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Rough endoplasmic reticulum is  covered with ribosomes site of protein synthesis Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has no  ribosome site of lipid synthesis

Slide 22: Ribosome Together with the endoplasmic  reticulum is the site of protein synthesis  Maybe found in the cytoplasm and in the mitochondria  They may be free or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum

Slide 23: Golgi Apparatus This organelle modifies, concentrates  and packages proteins  This also packages enzymes into lysozomes  Proteins and enzymes usually are transported from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the golgi apparatus

Slide 25: The lysosomes These are membrane-limited  digestive bodies that contain enzymes that break down foreign or damaged materials  The enzymes digest all materials brought in by phagocytosis

Slide 27: The peroxisomes Similar to lysosomes, these are  membrane-bound sacs containing oxidases (not found in the lysosomes)  Oxidases are enzymes capable of reducing oxygen to hydrogen peroxide

Slide 28: The cytoskeleton A series of tubules and rods that  runs through the cytoplasm supporting the cellular structures  This is also responsible for cellular movements

Slide 30: The centrosomes  Thiscontains the centrioles short cylinders adjacent to the nucleus responsible for cellular division

Slide 31: The cellular inclusions These are non-functional units  made up of chemical substances  These may or may not be present in all cells  Examples are pigments, granules, and fat globules

Slide 32: Cilia and Flagella Cilia are short, hair-like extensions  that occur in large numbers on the outer surface of the cell  Flagella are long projections formed by centrioles that propel the cell

Slide 34: The Nucleus The central control of the cell  Controls cell growth, metabolisms and  reproduction Contains DNA  Contains chromosomes DNA +  proteins appearing as granules in the non-dividing cell Genes segments of chromosomes 

Slide 36: Cell Division Formation of two daughter cell  from a single parent cell. Mitosis – formation of new cell d. necessary for growth and tissue repair. Meosis – formation of sex cell e. necessary for the reproduction.

Slide 37: Cellular division Two types- Mitosis and Meiosis  Mitosis- equal division of materials  which yields two exact duplicates of the original cell The diploid number (46) of  chromosomes is maintained All of the body cells undergo mitosis  except the gametes or sex cells

Slide 38: Mitosis All body cell undergo mitosis except sex  cell. There are two step in mitosis: Genetic material within the cell is e. replicated. Cell divided to form two daughter with f. same amount and type of DNA.

Slide 39: The cellular division Five steps of cellular division I-P-  M-A-T Interphase- inactive or resting  state Prophase-Chromatin coils to form  chromosomes, centrioles begin to assemble Metaphase-chromosomes line the  equator, and they split lengthwise Anaphase-Chromatids separate and  move to the opposite poles Telophase-chromosomes uncoil and  nucleoli reappear

Slide 40: INTERPHASE – time between cell division during which DNA replicate. DNA strand separate where old strand joined with new strand of DNA to form two new DNA molecule.

Slide 41: Four stage of Mitosis Prophase – chromatin condensed into chromosome. 2. Chromosome consist of two chromatin join by centromere. Centriole move to opposite pole.  Nucleus and nuclear envelope disappear.  2. Metaphase – chromosome aligned at the center, w/ spindle fiber. 3. Anaphase – chromatin separate to form two sets of identified chromosome. Chromosome assisted by spindle fiber.

Slide 42: 4. Telophase – chromosome disperse.  Nuclear membrane and nucleolus formed.  Cytoplasm divided into two cell.

Slide 43: Differentiation – process by which cell develop with specialized function. Egg and sperm cell formed single cell during  fertilization divided by mitosis to form two cell then become four cell and so forth which differentiate, give rise to different cell. E.g. bone cell, muscle cell

Slide 45: The cellular division Meiosis is a reduction division  occurring in the sex cells  Sex cells have only one pair of chromosomes (23)haploid number

Slide 46: Cell Physiology

Slide 48: DIFFUSION  The movement of SOLUTES or particles in a solution from a higher concentration to a lower concentration  This is a passive process, no energy is required

Slide 50: OSMOSIS  The movement of solvent or water from a diluted solution into a more concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane  The pressure that draws water inside the vessel which is more concentrated is called Osmotic pressure

Slide 52: Filtration If a sugar is placed in plain water,  the glucose molecules will dissolve and distribute in the solution  Factors that affect diffusion- concentration gradient, particle size, solubility and temperature

Slide 53: Special osmosis A special type of osmotic pressure is exerted by the proteins in the plasma. It is called ONCOTIC PRESSURE

Slide 54: FILTRATION  The movement of both solute and solvent by hydrostatic pressure, i.e., from an area of a higher pressure to an area of a lower pressure  An example of this process is urine formation

Slide 55: Hydrostatic pressure  Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by the fluid against the container  Increased hydrostatic pressure is one mechanism producing edema

Slide 56: Active transport This is the movement of solutes  across a membrane from a lower concentration to a higher concentration with utilization of energy  Example is the Sodium-Potassium pump, Endocytosis and Exocytosis

Slide 261: The pituitary gland : anterior lobe  Also called Adenohypophysis  Hormones produced – Growth hormone – The stimulating hormones- ACTH, TSH, FSH and LH – Prolactin

Slide 262: The pituitary gland: posterior lobe Also called the neurohypophysis  This lobe does not secrete hormones but  only stores hormones Antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) – Oxytocin –

Slide 263: The pineal gland  Also called epiphysis cerebri  Secretes melatonin

Slide 264: The thyroid gland  Located in the lower part of the anterior neck  With two lobes connected by the isthmus

Slide 265: The thyroid gland  Secretes thyroxine (T4) and tri- iodothyronine (T3)  The T3 is the most active hormone  Function of T3/T4: Increase metabolic rate, essential for normal growth and maturation

Slide 268: The thyroid gland It also secretes CALCITONIN  This is released in response to an INCREASED calcium level in the blood  Function: decreases bone resorption and increases calcium excretion in the kidney to decrease the calcium levels

Slide 270: The parathyroid glands 2 pairs (4) of yellowish glands closely related to the posterior surface of the thyroid gland  Secretes parathyroid hormone (PTH)

Slide 271: The parathyroid glands Functions of the hormone:  Increases bone breakdown by – osteoclasts Increases Vitamin D synthesis – Increases Calcium level in the blood – Causes retention of calcium in the – kidney

Slide 292: The CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

Slide 294: The CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM  This system is composed of the heart and the blood vessels  The main functions of this system are:  to transport oxygen, hormones and nutrients to the tissues  and to transport waste products to the lungs and kidneys for excretion

Slide 295: The Gross Anatomy of the Heart  The heart is located within the thorax behind the sternum in the compartment called MEDIASTINUM  The heart is commonly described as the size of a clenched fist

Slide 296: The Gross Anatomy of the Heart  The shape is conical, with a base and an apex  The base is directed upward  The apex is directed downward to the left at the level of the 5th ICS LMCL

Slide 297: Heart Surface  ANTERIOR SURFACE Right ventricle POSTERIOR SURFACE Left ventricle

Slide 299: The Heart : Anatomy The heart has three layers   The epicardium  The myocardium  The endocardium  The heart is covered by the pericardium with a parietal and visceral layers  The pericardial sac is a potential space in between the two pericardial layers with a minimal (15 cc) fluid

Slide 300: Fig. 12.4

Slide 301: The Heart: Anatomy  The heart has four chambers  The right atrium  The right ventricle  The left atrium  The left ventricle

Slide 302: The Heart: Anatomy The heart also has four valves that guard  the openings in the chambers  The tricuspid valve – between the right atrium and right ventricle  The mitral or bicuspid valve- between the left atrium and left ventricle  The pulmonic valve- between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk  The aortic valve- between the left ventricle and the aorta

Slide 304: The Heart: Anatomy The blood supply of the heart:  The coronary arteries are the blood supply  There are two main coronary arteries- the right coronary artery and the left coronary artery  The venous drainage of the heart is the coronary sinus; the anterior cardiac vein and the smallest cardiac vein

Slide 305: Blood Supply

Slide 307: Venous Drainage Coronary sinus will collect all the  venous blood from the heart into the RIGHT atrium The anterior cardiac vein drains NOT  into the coronary sinus but DIRECTLY into the right atrium

Slide 308: Circulation

Slide 309: Fig. 12.11

Slide 310: The Heart : Physiology This consists of  The conducting system  The cardiac cycle  The cardiac output and Blood pressure  The preload and afterload  The Starling’s law of the heart

Slide 311: The Heart: Physiology The conducting system of the heart is a group of specialized heart cells that functions to conduct electrical impulses independent of any nerve supply

Slide 312: The Heart: Physiology  The parts of the conducting system of the heart are:  The SA (sino-atrial) node  The AV (atrio-ventricualr) node  The Bundle of His with its right and left bundle  The Purkinje fibers

Slide 314: The Heart: Physiology  The intrinsic conduction system causes the heart muscle to depolarize in one direction  The rate of depolarization is around 75 beats per minute  The SA node sets the pace of the conduction  This electrical activity is recorded by the Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Slide 318: The Heart: Physiology  The cardiac cycle consists of the contraction phase and the relaxation phase in each heartbeat  The SYSTOLE is the contraction phase  The DIASTOLE is the relaxation phase

Slide 321: The Heart: Physiology  Heart sounds can be auscultated  S1, S2, S3, and S4  S1 is due to the closure of the AV valves  S2 is due to the closure of the semilunar valves  S3 is due to the rushing of blood through the AV opening  S4 is due to contraction of the atrium

Slide 322: The Heart: Physiology  The amount of blood the heart pumps out in each beat is called the STROKE VOLUME  When this volume is multiplied by the number of heart beat in a minute (heart rate), it becomes the CARDIAC OUTPUT  When the Cardiac Output is multiplied by the Total Peripheral Resistance, it becomes the BLOOD PRESSURE

Slide 323: The Heart: Physiology  The PRELOAD is the degree of stretching of the heart muscle when it is filled-up with blood  The AFTERLOAD is the resistance to which the heart must pump to eject the blood

Slide 324: The Heart: Physiology  Starling’sLaw of the Heart states that the force of contraction is proportional to the degree of stretching of the cardiac muscle fibers  As the length of the muscle fiber is stretched, the contractile force increases  But when the maximum length has been reach, any further stretching will impair the contraction

Slide 326: The Blood vessel: Anatomy  This consists of the artery, vein and capillary together with the lymphatic vessels  The ARTERY has thicker wall, deeply located, pulsating, reddish, with abundant smooth muscles and elastic tissues that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart towards the body tissues

Slide 328: The Blood vessel: Anatomy  The VEIN is thin-walled, superficially located, non-pulsating, bluish vessel that carries unoxygenated/deoxygenated blood towards the heart  Arterioles are small arteries  Venules are small veins  CAPILLARIES are diffuse network of thin- walled tubules that connect arterioles and venules together

Slide 329: The Blood vessel: Physiology  The diameter of the arterioles is the main contributor of the peripheral resistance  In the presence of epinephrine, cold temperature and irritation, the smooth muscles of the blood vessels will contract making the lumen smaller ↑resistance  In the presence of histamine, warm temperature, the vessels will dilate ↓ resistance

Slide 330: Terminology Anatomy & Physiology Chronotropic  Refers to a change in heart rate effect  A positive chronotropic effect refers to an increase in heart rate  A negative chronotropic effect refers to a decrease in heart rate Dromotropic  Refers to a change in the speed of conduction effect through the AV junction  A positive dromotropic effect results in an increase in AV conduction velocity  A negative dromotropic effect results in a decrease in AV conduction velocity Inotropic  Refers to a change in myocardial contractility effect  A postive inotropic effect results in an increase in myocardial contractility  A negative inotropic effect results in a decrease in myocardial contractility

Slide 332: Systemic circulation  The aorta- leaves the left ventricle to form the ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending aorta, thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta  The Vena cava ( superior and inferior) drains the whole body and returns the blood to the right atrium

Slide 334: Physiology of circulation  Blood pressure is the measure of force exerted by blood against the blood vessel wall  Measured by sphygmomanometer  Normally BP is measured as systolic pressure and diastolic pressure  PULSE PRESSURE = SP-DP

Slide 335: Physiology of circulation  Capillary exchange  Most exchange of gas and substances occur across the wall of the capillary  Usually, the exchange is due to the filtration difference and diffusion

Slide 337: BP regulation Central  Pons and medulla  Sympathetic nervous system– Increases heart rate Parasympathetic nervous system (vagus)–  decreases heart rate

Slide 338: BP regulation Baroreceptors  Receptors sensitive to stretch located in the carotid sinuses and aortic arch  ↓ stretch reflex increase in heart rate ↑BP  ↑ stretch reflex decrease in heart rate ↓BP

Slide 339: BP regulation Hormonal  Epinephrine vasoconstriction increased resistance increased BP lung  Angiotensinogen A1 blood Angiotensin 2  ADH water reabsorption ↑Blood volume increased BP  ANF increase sodium excretion increased urine decreased blood volume decreased BP
