,what is the function of the liver - ANS-Removing waste
created by digestion
produce bile
where is the liver located - ANS-right upper quadrant
what is the function of the pancreas - ANS-Secretes inslin
and glucagon hormones and makes pancreatic juices
where is the pancreas located - ANS-posterior to the
stomach
what is the function of the spleen - ANS-filter blood and help
fight infections
where is the spleen located - ANS-LUQ
what is the function of the gallbladder - ANS-stores and
concentrates bile
Where is the gallbladder located? - ANS-under the liver, RUQ
,what are the three motor vehicle collisions - ANS-1. car
against another car
2. passenger against interior of car
3. passenger's organs against solid structures of body
what are arteries - ANS-Blood vessels that carry blood away
from the heart
what are arterioles - ANS-Arterioles are the smallest arteries
what are capillaries - ANS-Capillaries are the exchange
vessels. They are microscopic and have only one wall—
tunica intima—allowing substances to pass through quickly.
what are venules - ANS-smallest veins
bones of the face - ANS-mandible
maxillae
nasal bone
palatine bone and nasal conchae
vomer
, zygomatic bone
lacrimal bone
hyoid bone
Where is CSF produced? - ANS-choroid plexus
what is the function of CSF? - ANS-protects and nourishes
the brain and spinal cord
what is the phrenic nerve? - ANS-major motor and sensory
nerve of the diaphragm
C3-C5
what is flail chest - ANS-A fracture of two or more sites on
two or more adjacent ribs, or when rib fractures produce a
free-floating sternum.
Flail segments may not be clinically evident in the first
several hours after injury b/c of muscle spasms that cause
splinting. After positive pressure initiated, paradoxical chest
wall movement ceases.
