CHAPTER 6 Integumentary System • Dermatology – scientific study and medical treatment of the integumentary system. • Integumentary System – consists of the skin and its accessory organs – hair‚ nails‚ and cutaneous glands • skin is the most vulnerable organ • skin is the most vulnerable organ – exposed to radiation‚ trauma‚ infection‚ and injurious chemicals • body’s largest and heaviest organ Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue • consists of two layers: – epidermis – stratified squamous epithelium

clusters that cannot pass through the blood vessels. The reaction occurs from the complement system when the person receiving the blood has a rare protein on their blood cells. So antibodies to this certain antigen are not present until after the patient is exposed to the blood. This is why all blood is typed‚ crossed‚ and then cross-matched with the potential recipients’ blood. 4. Our lymphatic systems have several jobs‚ from body tissues it removes extra fluids‚ it produces immune cells‚ it helps

The systems of the body. Systems are the most complex of the component units of the human body. A system is an organization of varying numbers and kinds of organs arranged so that together they can perform complex functions for the body. There are 10 systems in the body‚ but the 3 main are: • The nervous system • The respiratory system • The circulatory system The nervous system. The nervous system has two main parts: • The central nervous system – CNS; This is composed of the brain and the spinal

Anatomy Cardiovascular System The Cardiovasuclar system is one of the most important systems in your body and it is also one of the largest systems in your body. This system consists of the heart‚ and a system of vessels called arteries‚ veins and capillaries. They are responsible for transporting‚ nutrients hormones‚ oxygen and waste throughout the body. All of these play an important part in this system and the system would fall apart if one wasn’t there. This system is is powered by the hardest

30‚ 2010 The Cardiovascular and Muscular Systems Organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain task. Humans have a variety of systems due to the complexity of the species’ organism. The human body consists of biological systems‚ that consist of organs‚ that consist of tissues‚ that consist of cells and connective tissue. Although an organ has a specific function‚ organs also function as part of a group. The organ system is the organizational unit by which medicine

The lymphatic system is a part of the circulatory system‚ that consists of a network of vessels called lymphatic vessels. These vessels carry a clear fluid called lymph towards the heart. The lymphatic system is not a closed system. The circulatory system processes an average of 20 litres of blood per day through capillary filtration which removes plasma while leaving the blood cells. Roughly 17 litres of the filtered plasma actually get reabsorbed directly into the blood vessels‚ while the remaining

Excretory System Review Main Concepts: Describe the major gross anatomical structures of the excretory system. Kidneys: receive about 25% of the cardiac output; produce urine (a fluid containing water‚ ions‚ and small soluble compounds) Ureters: receive urine from the kidneys and conduct it to the urinary bladder. Urine movement involves a combo of gravity and the peristaltic contractions of smooth muscle in the walls of the ureters Urinary Bladder: receives and stores urine prior to elimination

The Endocrine System FOCUS: The endocrine system is one of the major regulatory systems in the body‚ along with the nervous system. However‚ the endocrine system responds more slowly‚ and has a longer-lasting‚ more general effect on the body than the nervous system. Endocrine tissues internally produce hormones which are released into the blood‚ where they are carried to target tissue and produce a response. Some hormones bind to receptors on the surface of the cell membrane‚ producing permeability
Premium Endocrine system Hormone Hypothalamus
The Endocrine system helps to maintain homeostasis by secreting hormones into the bloodstream‚ which travels throughout the body. This system regulates activities such as growth and development and influence emotions and behavior. The relationship of this system alongside the other body systems is how the body maintain a stable equilibrium‚ regulating the activity of the organ systems. Nervous - The endocrine system acts as a communication tool within the human body‚ working alongside with the nervous

FAMILY SYSTEMS THEORY Why study families? • Traditional psychology - problem an individual one - Externalise distress - act out - Internalise distress - withdraw Theorists - Psychoanalytic - e.g Freud - fixated at a phase due to trauma and regress to this level - Behaviourists - e.g learn inappropriate response - Attachment - insecure primary attachment • Sociological perspective Bronfenbrenner’s model - ecological approach a) Life cycle stresses
