organs
tissues come together to form special function
epithelium
lines and covers surfaces of body
connective tissue
supports avascular epithelia, tendons, ligaments, bones, cartilage, adipose tissue, and blood
muscle
3 types, smooth in walls of internal organs and blood vessels, cardiac in heart and proximal parts, skeletal forms all under voluntary control
nerve
neuron processes and glial cells from CNS, dendrites and axons of PNS
roles of epithelial tissue
protection barrier, prevents dehydration
basement membrane of epithelium role
acts as filter, stabilizes and directs growth patterns
hardest form of connective tissue
bone
types of connective tissue
areolar, adipose, fibrous, cartilage, blood, bone
fibroblast
production of extracellular matrix which secrets protein for wound repair
microphages
collect waste tissue
lymphocytes
immunity, defend against viral attacks and agents
mast cells
rush to site for inflammation
tissue aggregates
tendons, muscle, ligaments, fascia
joints
form union of bones with other bones or cartilage
ligaments connect
bone to bone or cartilage
physical systems of communication
respiratory, phonatory, articulatory, nervous, resonatory
respiratory system includes
lungs, passageway, trachea, larynx, pharynx, oral cavity, nasal cavity
phonatory system
production of sound, uses protective component of larynx
articulatory system
used to alter sounds of speech using tongue, teeth, lips, soft palate
resonatory system
involves shaping sounds in vocal tract, vocal folds, referred to as nasopharynx
system
group of organs that function together for a purpose
organs
groups of tissue
physical systems of communication
respiratory, phonatory, articulatory, nervous, resonatory
what anatomical structures are vital for speech production
teeth (tear and bite), tongue (suck and swallow), lips (suck), velum (protection, smell, suck), larynx (protect, support)
descriptive anatomy systems
muscular, digestive, respiratory, skeletal, reproductive, nervous, special senses
cartilage
spongey, can be yellow or white, type of connective tissue
cranial nerves serve
muscles of speech, transmit sensation concerning speech, and mediate other visceral functions
cranial nerve I
olfactory, smell (sensory), problems are anosmia
cranial nerve II
optic nerve, vision (sensory) problem is loss of vision
cranial nerve III
oculomotor nerve (motor) moves eyes left and right, controls eyelid, pupil constrictor. problems are loss of light reflex, ptosis, papilledema
cranial nerve IV
trochlear nerve (motor) moves eyes up and down, problems are diplopia, nystagmus, difficulty moving eyes up and down
cranial nerve V
trigeminal nerve (mixed), chewing muscles, touch pain and temperature for face, mouth and anterior 2/3 of tongue. problems are loss of sensation, difficulty chewing, abnormal jaw-jerk reflex
cranial nerve VI
abducens nerve (motor) rotates eyes outward, problem is strabismus and diplopia
cranial nerve VII
facial nerve (mixed), muscles of face, taste in anterior 2/3 of tongue. problems are facial paralysis, taste loss
cranial nerve VIII
vestibulocochlear nerve or auditory nerve (sensory) hearing and balance, problems with hearing and balance
cranial nerve IX
glossopharyngeal nerve (mixed), pharyngeal movement, salivation, taste on posterior 1/3 of tongue, problems with gag and swallow reflex, loss of taste, loss of pharyngeal movement
cranial nerve X
vagus nerve (mixed), pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles, heart, lungs, tactile sensations, problems are absent gag and swallow reflex, loss of velar movement, loss of voice
cranial nerve XI
spinal accessory nerve (motor) neck and shoulder muscles
cranial nerve XII
hypoglossal nerve (motor), muscles of tongue, problems are tongue atrophy, fasciculations, loss of tongue movement
respiration
exchange of gas between organism and its environment
inspiration
bringing oxygen to the body’s cells by breathing in
expiration
eliminating carbon dioxide from the body’s cells by breathing out
principles of respiration
1 air pressure needs to be equal inside and outside lungs, 2 as air pressure in lungs decreases, air enters lungs to equalize pressure, 3 as air pressure in lungs increases, air flows out of lungs to equalize pressure
air pressure
force exerted on the walls of a chamber by molecules of air, pressure is force over area, increase pressure by decreasing area
the breathing apparatus is made of up the
pulmonary apparatus (lungs and airways) and chest wall (rib cage wall, abdominal wall, diaphragm)
skeletal superstructure of the breathing apparatus includes
clavicle, sternum, humerus, ribs, costal cartilage, pelvic girdle, vertebrae
vertebrae consists of
cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccyx, separated by intervertebral discs
cervical vertebrae
C1 to C7, the neck
thoracic vertebrae
T1 to T12, provides basis for respiratory framework, forms posterior attachment for ribs and bony thorax
lumbar vertebrae
5 large, stress on them for lifting and walking, attachment for back and abdominal muscles, posterior fibers of diaphragm
sacral vertebrae
5, compose sacrum
coccyx vertebrae
4, fused
chest/thoracic 3 wall roles
1 protects heart, lungs and great vessels, 2 provides attachment for pectoral girdle and upper limbs, and 3 respiration by continuing to seal thoracic cavity whose dimensions alter to produce changes in pressure
ribs
12 pairs of ribs, each with a head, neck, shaft, and angle. attached to vertebral column, slope downward during rest and elevate during inspiration
rib cage
1-7 true, 8-10 false, 11-12 floating (no front attachment). each rib articulates with two vertebrae
sternum three components
manubium sterni, corpus, and oiphoid or ensiform process. point of attachment for ribs directly or indirectly by costal cartilage
pectoral girdle
clavicle (collar bone) and scapula
pelvic girdles made of
three bones, illium, ischium, and pubis
illium
iliac crest, articulates with sacrum
ischium
articulates with pubis
