oral cavity

-beginning of the digestive process=mastication (chewing) "mechanical digestion"

-chemical digestion, food mixes with saliva, a enzyme called amylase which breaks down carbohydrates

-saliva lubricates and moistems food

1 of 140

Oesophagus

- Takes food into the stomach by peristalsis

-produces mucus to lubricate food

-carries vomit back into the mouth

2 of 140

Stomach

- stores food

-mechanical digestion - churns food bt muscular contraction

-produces mucus to protect stomach lining from hydrochloric acid

Summary of digestive enzymes

—  Summary of the actions of digestive enzymes:

—  Salivary Amylase (also known as ptaylin) produced by salivary glands breaks down starch into sugar.

—  Pepsin produced by Stomach gastric pit Breaks down protein  into peptides

—  Amylase produced by Pancreas breaks down starch into sugar  (Maltose)

—  Lipase produced by Pancreas breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol

—  Trypsin produced by Pancreas Breaks down Peptides into Amino acids,

—  Sucrase etc produced by Ileum Breaks down sucrose into glucose  and fructose

9 of 140

Carbohydrate enzymes

—Sucrase which breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose —Maltase which breaks down maltose into glucose. —Lactase which breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose

Absorption in small intestine

The villi (small finger like projections) with micro villi (hair like) together increase the intestinal absorptive surface area to around the area of a tennis court.

Villus capillaries collect amino acids and simple sugars which are taken up by the villi into the blood stream. Villus lacteals collect absorbed fatty acids.

Coeliac Disease - causes

an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue

Coeliac disease isn't an allergy or intolerance to gluten

The immune system mistakes substances found inside gluten as a threat to the body and attacks them

This damages the surface of the small intestines (Villi), disrupting the body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food.

Exactly what causes the immune system to act in this way is still not entirely clear, although a combination of a person's genetic make-up and the environment appear to play a part

12 of 140

Effects/symptoms

Can be mild or server

  • mild abdominal (stomach) pain
  • anemia (tiredness, breathlessness and an irregular heartbeat, caused by a lack of iron in the blood)
  • loss of appetite
  • Villi flattened= Mal-absorption =weight loss
  • vomiting (usually only affects children)
  • alopecia (loss of hair) usually only affects adults
  • Depression b vitamins

Diagnosis

Screening for coeliac disease involves a two stage process:

  • Blood tests If coeliac disease antibodies are found in your blood, your GP will refer you for a biopsy of your gut. 
  • A (endoscopy) biopsy A biopsy can help confirm a diagnosis of coeliac disease. The gastroenterologist will pass a tiny biopsy tool through the endoscope to take samples of the lining of your small intestine. The sample will then be examined under a microscope for signs of coeliac disease. The endoscopy can show the villi and see if there damaged
14 of 140

Treatment –

There is no cure for coeliac disease, but switching to a gluten-free diet should help control symptoms and prevent long term consequences of the disease.

-          Vaccinations (e.g. Flu) and supplements (vitamins and minerals) can also be used if a person has a low immune system

Causes of a stroke

  • age you are more likely to have a stroke if you are over 65 years old, although about a quarter of strokes happen in younger people
  • family history if a close relative (parent, grandparent, brother or sister) has had a stroke, your risk is likely to be higher
  • ethnicity if you are south Asian, African or Caribbean, your risk of stroke is higher, partly because rates of diabetes and high blood pressure are higher in these groups
  • your medical history if you have previously had a stroke, TIA or heart attack, your risk of stroke is higher
  • Ischaemic strokes, the most common type of stroke, occur when blood clots block the flow of blood to the brain
  • Haemorrhagic strokes usually occur when a blood vessel in the brain bursts and bleeds into the brain
32 of 140

Ischaemic strokes (clot) 80%

Causes

·         smoking – sticky blood and less elastic

high blood pressure (hypertension)

33 of 140

Haemorrhagic strokes (bleed)

The main cause of haemorrhagic stroke is high blood pressure (hypertension), which can weaken the arteries in the brain and make them prone to split or rupture.

Things that increase the risk of high blood pressure include:

being overweight or obese

  • drinking excessive amounts of alcohol
  • smoking
  • a lack of exercise
  • stress, which may cause a temporary rise in blood pressure
34 of 140

Symptoms

FAST: Face-Arms-Speech-Time.

  • Face the face may have dropped on one side, the person may not be able to smile or their mouth or eye may have drooped
  • Arms the person with suspected stroke may not be able to lift one or both arms and keep them there because of arm weakness or numbness
  • Speech their speech may be slurred or garbled, or the person may not be able to talk at all despite appearing to be awake. Loss of speech – Aphasia
  • Time it is time to dial 999 immediately if you see any of these signs or symptoms

Nervous system

Its overall functions are to collect information about the body's external/internal states and transfer this information to the brain to analyse this information, and to send impulses out to initiate appropriate motor responses to meet the body's needs. 

44 of 140

Neurons

The system is composed of specialized cells, termed nerve cells or neurons, that communicate with each other and with other cells in the body. 

45 of 140

A neuron has three parts:

The cell body, containing the nucleus The dendrites, hair-like structures surrounding the cell body, which conduct incoming signals. The axon (or nerve fiber), which conduct outgoing signals emitted by the neuron. Axons are encased in a fat-like sheath, called myelin sheath, which acts like an insulator and, along with the Nodes of Ranvier, speeds impulse transmission.

46 of 140

Major Divisions of the Nervous System

The nerves of the body are organized into two major systems:

the central nervous system (CNS), consisting of of the brain and spinal cord, the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the vast network of spinal and cranial nerves linking the body to the brain and spinal cord. The PNS is subdivided into: the autonomic nervous system (involuntary control of internal organs, blood vessels, smooth and cardiac muscles), consisting of the sympathetic NS and  parasympathetic NS the somatic nervous system (voluntary control of skin, bones, joints, and skeletal muscle).

47 of 140

The PNS is subdivided into:

the autonomic nervous system (involuntary control of internal organs, blood vessels, smooth and cardiac muscles), consisting of the sympathetic NS and  parasympathetic NS

the somatic nervous system (voluntary control of skin, bones, joints, and skeletal muscle).

48 of 140

Central nervous system

The central nervous system is divided into two parts: the brain and the spinal cord. The spinal cord is about 43 cm long in adult women and 45 cm long in adult men and weighs about 35-40 grams. The vertebral column, the collection of bones (back bone) that houses the spinal cord, is about 70 cm long. Therefore, the spinal cord is much shorter than the vertebral column.

49 of 140

Peripheral Nervous System

The peripheral nervous system is divided into two major parts: the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.

50 of 140

Somatic Nervous System

The somatic nervous system consists of peripheral nerve fibres that send sensory information to the central nervous system AND motor nerve fibres that project to skeletal muscle.

Somatic Nervous System

The somatic nervous system consists of peripheral nerve fibres that send sensory information to the central nervous system AND motor nerve fibres that project to skeletal muscle.

52 of 140

Autonomic Nervous System

The autonomic nervous system is divided into three parts: the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle of the viscera (internal organs) and glands

53 of 140

Peripheral nervous system

In the peripheral nervous system, neurons can be functionally divided in three ways: Sensory (afferent) - carry information INTO the central nervous system from sense organs or motor (efferent) - carry information away from the central nervous system (for muscle control). Cranial - connects the brain with the periphery or spinal - connects the spinal cord with the periphery.

Somatic - connects the skin or muscle with the central nervous system or visceral - connects the internal organs with the central nervous system

Corpus Callosum

The word "cortex" comes from the Latin word for "bark" (of a tree). This is because the cortex is a sheet of tissue that makes up the outer layer of the brain. The thickness of the cerebral cortex varies from 2 to 6 mm. The right and left sides of the cerebral cortex are connected by a thick band of nerve fibres called the "corpus callosum."

56 of 140

Cerebellum

Functions: Movement Balance Posture

57 of 140

cerebellum

The word "cerebellum" comes from the Latin word for "little brain." The cerebellum is located behind the brain stem. In some ways, the cerebellum is similar to the cerebral cortex: the cerebellum is divided into hemispheres and has a cortex that surrounds these hemispheres.

58 of 140

Brain stem (medulla and pons)

Functions: Breathing Heart Rate Blood Pressure

59 of 140

Brain Stem

The brain stem is a general term for the area of the brain between the thalamus and spinal cord. Structures within the brain stem include the medulla and  pons. Some of these areas are responsible for the most basic functions of life such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.

The Three Main Parts of the Brain

Brain anatomy recognizes three main parts of the brain: the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. Each area is responsible for different brain functions, although there is often some overlap.

63 of 140

Left Hemisphere

Sequential Analysis: systematic, logical interpretation of information. Interpretation and production of symbolic information: language, mathematics, abstraction and reasoning. Memory stored in a language format

64 of 140

Right Hemisphere

Holistic Functioning: processing multi-sensory input simultaneously to provide "holistic" picture of one's environment. Visual spatial skills. Holistic functions such as dancing and gymnastics are coordinated by the right hemisphere. Memory is stored in auditory, visual and spatial modalities.

65 of 140

Lobes

Four distinct lobes make up the cerebrum: the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the occipital lobe, and the temporal lobe. Each of these parts of the brain has different functions. Some of these functions may overlap: for instance, the frontal and temporal lobes are both important for language and speech.

66 of 140

Frontal Lobe:

speech,

movement,

planning,

organising,

problem solving,

selective attention,

personality and a

variety of "higher cognitive functions" including behaviour and emotions.

67 of 140

Temporal Lobe:

controls memory, personality, and language.  also allows us to distinguish smells and sounds. help in sorting new information and are believed to be responsible for short-term memory. Right Lobe - Mainly involved in visual memory (i.e., memory for pictures and faces). Left Lobe - Mainly involved in verbal memory (i.e., memory for words and names)

68 of 140

Parietal Lobe:

process pain, pressure, and other physical sensations. identify objects. Parietal Lobe, Right - Damage to this area can cause visual-spatial deficits (e.g., the patient may have difficulty finding their way around new, or even familiar, places). Parietal Lobe, Left - Damage to this area may disrupt a patient's ability to understand spoken and/or written language.

69 of 140

Occipital Lobe:

processes visual stimuli  allows the brain to process light and objects.  Not only is the occipital lobe mainly responsible for visual reception, it also contains association areas that help in the visual recognition of shapes and colors. Damage to this lobe can cause visual deficits.

81 of 140

Other structures- respiratory system

Pleural membranes – cover and protect lungs. Diaphragm – dome shaped muscle separates chest from abdomen. Intercostal muscles – contract and relax to expand the chest volume. Pulmonary arteries and veins – move blood through the lungs.

82 of 140

Functions of the respiratory system

Inspiration/expiration (breathing!)   Gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide

83 of 140

Gas exchange is based on passive diffusion

  A large surface area for exchange of gases. A short distance for the gases to diffuse. Concentration gradients for the gases.

84 of 140

Alveoli are:

Numerous (large surface area)

Thin walled (short distance)

Surrounded by many tiny capillaries (keeps a concentration gradient)

to speed up diffusion!

85 of 140

Transport of gases

Oxygen binds to haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin.   Carbon dioxide is dissolved in the blood plasma.

Functions of the kidney (nephron

Urine production AND osmoregulation

116 of 140

Urine production - ultrafiltration

High pressure in glomerulus forces fluid into the Bowman’s capsule = ultrafiltration. Small molecules such as water, glucose, electrolytes and urea (a poisonous substance made in the liver from unwanted amino acids), are filtered out of the blood and collect in the fluid in the Bowman’s capsule.

117 of 140

Useful molecules are reabsorbed

All of the glucose in the proximal tubule Most of the water in the loop of Henle Most of the electrolytes in the distal tubule   Urea is not reabsorbed.

118 of 140

osmoregulation

Maintaining the correct water and electrolyte content of the body and its fluids. Takes place in the collecting duct by changing their ability to reabsorb water from the fluid. Controlled by a hormone made in the brain.

Òtiredness, Òincreasing need to urinate, especially at night,  Òitchy skin, Ònausea, Òerectile dysfunction,  Òshortness of breath,  Òswollen ankles, feet or hands (due to water retention), and  Òblood and/or protein in the urine. ÒIf kidney failure has been caused by a sudden injury, these symptoms can appear rapidly, and may progress quickly to seizures, coma and potentially death.

133 of 140

functions

Ovary – produces ovum, stores ovum, secretes hormones (oestrogen and progesterone) Ovum (ova) – an egg. One is released each month to be fertilised by a sperm Fallopian tubes – transfer the ovum from the ovary to the uterus. Site of fertilisation.

134 of 140

functions

Uterus – accepts fertilised ovum, site where foetus develops, expands during pregnancy, contracts during birth Cervix – circular ring of muscle at the entrance to the vagina Vagina – path for menstrual blood to leave body, route for baby to leave uterus, produces lubrication during sexual activity

135 of 140

The menstrual cycle

Controlled by changing the levels of the female hormones. Uterus lining thickens, then an ovum is released. If ovum is fertilised it implants in the uterus. If it is not fertilised, the lining of the uterus breaks down (menstruation).

136 of 140

Female hormones

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) made by the pituitary gland in the brain. Oestrogen made by the ovaries LH (luteinising hormone) made by the pituitary gland. Progesterone made by the ovaries (FOLP = order of secretion)

137 of 140
