  • HEART

Heart is an important organ of the circulatory system.

The heart is an organ made up of blood and muscles. It weighs approximately 310 grams in males and approximately 250 grams in females.

Location of the heart..

The heart lies above the diaphragm in the mediastinum space between the two lungs in the thoracic cavity.

The heart is a rough cone shape. In it, its upper broad part is known as the base and the lower angled part is known as the projection.

The heart is the size of a man’s closed fist. It measures 12 cm in length, 9 cm in width and 6 cm in thickness.

The heart is arranged slightly to the left between the two lungs in the thoracic cavity.

Organs around the heart.

The heart is located in the thoracic cavity. It has one lung on both its left and right sides.

Underneath lies the diaphragm and central tendon.

On the upper side of the heart are the vena cava and the aorta and the pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein.

Posterior to the heart are the esophagus, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles as well as the descending aorta and thoracic vertebrae.

Anterior to the heart are the sternum bone and the ribs and intercostal muscles

Layers of the Heart..

Heart is an organ made up of semi-muscles. Its wall is made up of three types of tissue layers.

The outermost layer of the heart wall is called epicardium or pericardium.

Epicardium or Pericardium.

It is thin and transparent and covers the heart from the outside. It is made up of fibrous connective tissue. In which there is a layer of fibrous tissue on the outermost side and a serous membrane on the inner side of the fibrous tissue which is found in a double layer. The outer layer of the serous membrane is known as the parietal layer and the inner layer as the visceral pericardium layer.

Myocardium..

Myocardium is the middle layer of the heart. It lies below the pericardium. It is made up of a special type of cardiac muscle tissue. The pumping action of the heart is seen due to the contraction of these muscles.

endocardium..

It is the innermost layer of the heart wall. It is in contact with layer blood. This layer is made up of epithelium tissue and connective tissue. This layer is smooth and shiny which is important for easy blood flow inside the heart.

Chambers of the Heart.

Heart is mainly divided into two parts. Right side and left side.

Between this right and left side lies the septum of the heart. It is again divided into four chambers above the valve and below the valve by the valves located between the right side and the left side of the heart.

Both chambers above the valve are called atrium or auricle or atrium. Both chambers below the valve are called ventricles. Thus the heart is divided into a total of four chambers.

Valve of the heart..

The flaps of tissue inside the heart are called valves. There are two types of valves in the heart.

Atrioventricular valve.

Semilunar valve.

Atrioventricular valve…

These valves are located between the atrium and the ventricle in the heart.

The valve between the right atrium and ventricle is called the tricuspid valve. This valve is made up of three tissue flaps.

The valve between the atrium and ventricle on the left side of the heart is called the bicuspid valve or the mitral valve.This valve is made up of two tissue flaps.

Semilunar valve…

These valves are C-shaped or crescent-shaped, so they are called semilunar valves.

These valves are present in the aorta and pulmonary artery. The valve in the aorta is called the aortic valve and the valve in the pulmonary artery is called the pulmonary valve. Which are located at the opening of its vessels. This valve also opens in one direction.

Great Vessels Associated with Heart..or Openings of the Heart..

Large blood vessels are mainly connected to the heart. Through which the blood comes from the body to the heart and the heart is pumped and the blood goes out to the body. The vessels and their openings are as follows.

Superior Wanakewa..

This brings deoxygenated blood from the upper part of the thoracic cavity, head and neck to the right atrium of the heart. It is in the number of one.

Inferior Wanakewa..

These blood vessels bring deoxygenated blood from the inferior part of the body and the lower part of the thoracic cavity and open into the right atrium of the heart. It is in the number of one.

Pulmonary artery..

It carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart out of the heart to the lungs. Its number is one.

Pulmonary vein..

Two pulmonary veins from both lungs bring the oxygenated blood to the left atrium of the heart. Its number is four.

Aorta..

The left ventricle of the heart takes oxygenated blood and circulates it throughout the body. Its number is one.

Thus a total of eight blood vessels and their openings are directly connected to the heart. Which is connected with the blood circulation in the heart.

Blood supply of the heart.

Oxygenated blood supply to the heart to function As soon as the aorta exits the left ventricle of the heart, it branches off into the right and left coronary arteries, which supply oxygenated blood to the heart. These coronary arteries are branches of the ascending aorta.

  • Functions of the Heart

Heart provides oxygenated blood supply to all organs and tissues of the body.

Heart is an important organ of the cardiovascular system. It functions as a vital organ without which the human body cannot survive.

The heart circulates the blood towards the lungs so that the blood can be oxygenated and purified.

Circulations like pulmonary circulation and systemic circulation are regulated by the heart.

The heart also regulates the heart rate according to the needs of the body and according to the body temperature.

The heart also regulates body temperature as it circulates blood to every part of the body.

As the heart pumps blood to the body’s excretory organs, the blood can be filtered and waste products removed from the blood.

Gross Structure Of Kidney

There are 2 kidneys in the human body. They are located in the right and left abdominal cavities on either side of the vertebral column on the posterior side of the body.

Kidney is a bean shaped organ. It lies from the level of the 12th thoracic vertebra to the level of the 3rd lumbar vertebra.

Kidney is 11 cm long by 5 to 6 cm wide. Its weight is approximately 150 grams. The right kidney is positioned slightly lower than the left kidney because the liver occupies a larger portion on the right side.

Veins around the kidney.

The kidney is an organ located in the abdominal cavity. One is located on both the right and left sides. Abdominal cavity organs like liver, small intestine, adrenal glands, stomach, spleen, pancreas etc. are located around both kidneys.

Structure of the Kidney..

Kidney is a shapeless organ. A groove in the middle is called hilum or renal hilum. Through which the structures of renal artery, renal vein, nerves, lymph vessels and ureter enter and exit.

When the kidney is viewed in a longitudinal section, it is seen to be distributed into three kidney structures.

  1. Fibrous capsule.

It is part of the fibrous tissue that surrounds the kidney. This membrane is arranged around the kidney. Which acts as a layer to protect and maintain the shape of the kidney.

  1. Cortex.

It is redis brown in color made up of tissue. Which is located under the kidney capsule.

  1. Medulla.

In the kidney, the inner part from the cortex is called the medulla. It also has redish brown color. The triangular pyramid-like structures are called renal pyramids. The base part of this renal pyramid is towards the cortex and the pointed part of the pyramid i.e. the part of the renal papilla is arranged inwards towards the hilum.

The renal papilla forms an anterior cup-like structure called the calyx. The part with larger space is called major calyx and the part with smaller space is called minor calyx. The minor calyx opens into the major calyx. Beyond this calyx is the wide funnel-shaped portion called the renal pelvis.

The urine filtered by the kidney falls into the wide part of the calyx, the funnel shape, i.e. the renal pelvis. Urine collects here and then exits the kidney through a narrow structure called the ureter from the renal pelvis anteriorly to the urinary bladder.

Functions of the Kidney..

Kidneys are mainly responsible for urine formation.

Kidneys filter the blood and remove the waste products through urine.

The function of the kidney is to maintain the normal balance of electrolytes.

It works to maintain blood pH.

The body functions to remove waste products accumulated at the end of metabolism from the body.

Kidneys secrete a hormone called erythropoietin which plays a very important role in the production of RBCs.

Kidneys secrete a hormone called renin which plays a very important role in maintaining blood pressure.

Kidneys are responsible for maintaining water balance in the body.

  • Lung

Lung is an important organ of respiratory system. They are located on either side of the mediastinum space in the thoracic cavity, totaling 2 in number.

The lungs take in oxygen from the atmosphere and expel carbon dioxide from the body.

Lungs are located in the thoracic cavity in number of 2. They are conical in shape.

The lungs are separated from the heart and the thoracic cavity by the mediastinum space.

The lungs are made up of spongy tissue within which many air field cavities are located. Its color is brown or grey.

The weight of the right lung is approximately 625 grams and the weight of the left lung is approximately 575 grams. The right lung is heavier in weight and larger in structure than the left lung.

Lungs are divided into lobes. The right lung has 3 lobes, namely the superior lobe, middle lobe and inferior lobe, while the left lung has 2 lobes, the superior lobe and the inferior lobe. These lobes are separated by a fissure. There are two fissures in the right lung. A fissure is seen in the left lung.

Lungs are classified into the following parts

  1. Apex..

The upper triangular and round part of lunge is called Apex.Which is seen up to the level of the clavicle bone.

  1. Bayes.

The lower broad part of the lung is called the base. The base portion is attached to the diaphragm at the bottom. This part is of concave shape.

  1. Anterior border..

It is thin. It is shorter than the posterior border. It has a cardiac notch. In which the heart part is arranged.

  1. Posterior border..

It is thick. It is found from the 7th cervical vertebra to the 10th thoracic vertebra.

  1. Inferior border..

It is located at the bottom of the lung. It separates the costal surface and the medial surface. The costal surface is large and convex. It is in contact with the costal pleura. It is attached to the ribs and intercostal muscles by costal cartilage.

  1. Medial surface

It is concave. There is a groove in the middle of it which is called hilum. The hilum lies at the level of the fifth, sixth and seventh thoracic vertebrae. Through this hilum, bronchi, pulmonary blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves enter and exit each lobe of the lung.

pleura..

The pleura is the serous membrane surrounding both lungs. Which is found in double layer. The outer layer is known as parietal pleura and the inner layer is known as visceral pleura.

Between the parietal pleura and the visceral pleura lies a cavity called the pleural cavity. There is serous fluid which is also called pleural fluid.

Due to the pleural fluid in the pleural cavity, the two layers do not rub against each other and due to this, the lungs get enough space for expansion.

Difference between Right Lung and Left Lung..

Right lung has two fissures to separate the lobes while left lung has only one fissure to separate the lobes.

Right lung has three lobes superior, middle and inferior while left lung has two lobes superior and inferior.

The right lung has a straight anterior border while the left lung has an interrupted anterior border because of the cardiac notch on the side of the left lung where the heart is located.

Right lung is heavier and larger in weight. Its weight is approximately 625 grams. While the left lung is lighter and smaller in weight. Its approximate weight is 575 grams.

The right lung is short and wide while the left lung is long and narrow.

Function of Lung..

It is an important organ for respiration.

Through inspiration, oxygen reaches the lungs and mixes with blood to deliver oxygen to the whole body.

The waste product of the body, carbon dioxide, is removed from the body through the act of exhalation.

Oxygenated blood is delivered to the heart through the pulmonary circulation.

The body excretes excess water through the act of respiration.

Other gaseous wastes produced in the body are removed from the body through the act of exhalation.

Common Characteristics of Vertebrae.

All the vertebrae of the vertebral column have the following common characters

Body

At the front of the vertebra is a flattened body part. Its size varies according to the vertebra of each region. As such, the body segment is found to be smallest in the cervical vertebrae and increases in size towards the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. The body is the largest and thickest in the lumbar vertebrae

Process of Vertebrae

The two processes extending posteriorly from the body of the vertebra are called pedicles. This pedicle extends posteriorly and forms a portion of a V septum, the portion known as the lamina. From the junction of these laminae, a straight process called the spinous process emerges posteriorly.

At the junction of the vertebra pedicle and the lamina, a horizontal process called the transverse process arises on either side.

Between all these processes a foramen is formed, called the vertebral arch or neural arch. The spinal cord passes through this arch. This arch is the largest found in the cervical vertebra. The opening of this arch becomes smaller as it moves towards the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae.

In addition, the superior surface and inferior surface of each vertebra have articulating processes to join the vertebrae.

Sternum Bone Sternum Bone.

The sternum bone is the bone of the axial skeleton. It is the anterior medial bone in the thoracic cavity.

It is the bone immediately below the skin. Sternum bone is also known as breast bone. The sternum is a flat bone.

The ribs are attached to the sternum bone with the help of costal cartilage. Hence it is a very important bone for building the thoracic cage.

Below the sternum bone is divided into three parts.

  1. Manubrium.

The uppermost part of the sternum bone is called the manubrium. It forms the upper broad part of the sternum. It has a rough triangular shape.

The notch in the middle of the uppermost part of the manubrium is called the suprasternal notch. The suprasternal notch is also known as the second jugular notch.

On the lower side of the suprasternal notch of the manubrium, there is a small groove called the clavicular notch. At this notch, the clavicular bone joins and forms the sternoclavicular joint.

The first pair of ribs are attached to the menorium by the costal cartilage.

The second pair of ribs are joined by costal cartilages near the angle between the manubrium and the body.

  1. Body…

The body forms the longest part between the sternum bone no. On its upper side is the manubrium and on its lower side is the xiphoid process. The part between these two is known as the sternum body.

There are many small grooves on both sides of the body. On either side of this groove, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh pairs of ribs are connected with the help of costal cartilage.

  1. Xiphoid process..

The lowest part of the sternum bone is called the xiphoid process. This part is attached to the muscles of the abdominal wall as well as the diaphragm.

Characteristics of Rib.

A rib is a flat bone. This bone has two extremities and a saft part.

At the posterior end of the rib towards the vertebral end is a flattened part, called the head of the rib. This head part is attached to the body of the thoracic vertebrae.

The narrow part after the head is called the neck. Then there is a raised part called tubercle. Part of this tubercle is attached to the facet of the transverse process of the thoracic vertebra.

The bend of the rib after the tubercle is known as angle of rib.

The middle part of the rib is called the clean part. The superior border of this part is smooth. Also its inferior border is bordered. It has a groove called the costal groove. The costal nerve and blood vessels pass through this groove.

The front part of the surface of the rib is called the anterior surface. Intercostal muscles are attached to it. When the posterior surface of the rib is in contact with the pleura of the lung.

Towards the end of the anterior side of the rib i.e. this end is also called the sternum end. Where the anterior side of the rib is attached to the sternum bone with the help of costal cartilage.

The space between two ribs is called intercostal space. Intercostal muscles are attached to this part. Due to the contraction and relaxation of these intercostal muscles, respiration occurs and the diameter of the thoracic cavity fluctuates.

Pelvis.

A pelvis is a basin-shaped cavity. Which is formed by two innominate bones, a sacrum and coccyx bone.

This creates a rounded area in the middle of the pelvis, called the pelvic brim. The part below the pelvis is called the true pelvis because of its importance in obstetrical terms. The upper part of the pelvic brim is called the false pelvis.

Innominate bone..

The innominate bone is the bone of the pelvic girdle. It is also known as hip bone.
They are two in number in the body. It is located one on both the right side and left side of the pelvic cavity. Both the innominate bones articulate with the sacrum bone behind and form the pelvic cavity.

The innominate bone is the larger bone. It is a flat and irregular type of bone.
Each innominate bone consists of three bones

Ilium

Two ischiums

pubis.
Ilium
Innominate Bone The ma ilium bone is a flat bone on the upper side. At its uppermost point there is a ridge called the iliac crest. It falls below the iliac crest.
Anterior superior iliac spine (top of front)
Anterior inferior iliac spine (at the bottom of the front)
Posterior superior iliac spine (upper back)
Posterior inferior iliac spine (lower back)
The ilium bone forms the sacroiliac joint where it joins the sacrum bone at the back.
There is a big groove at the bottom of this joint. The notch is called the greater sciatic notch. From where the sciatic nerve and blood vessels pass to the lower extremities.
The gluteal muscles attach to the posterior surface of the ilium bone. And that makes up the gluteal region.
The anterior surface of the ilium bone is known as the iliac fossa. In this part there is a depressed part where the muscles are attached.
ischium
Below and behind the ilium bone is the ischium bone.
Between the ilium bone and the ischium bone, the posterior side is an inferior pointed part. This part is called ischial spine.
Below it lies a small notch called the laser sciatic notch.
This laser has a strong thick process below the sciatic notch. Which is called ischial tuberosity. Body no weight comes on this part while sitting in sitting position. This has a stronger structure than a weight beer.
pubis
The pubis bone forms the most anterior part of the innominate bone. Both the innominate bones of the pubis bone join anteriorly to form the symphysis pubis joint.

There is a large foramen at the bottom of this pubis bone. It is called obturator foramen. Through which nerves and blood vessels pass downwards towards the extremity.
The three bones ilium, ischium and pubis located in the hip bone form a cavity-like structure called the acetabulum cavity. The head of the femur bone joins this KV and forms the hip joint.

Femur Bone (Femur Bone).

The femur bone is the bone in the lower extremity. It is the longest and strongest bone among all the bones in the body.

This bone has two extremities and a smooth part. Which are as follows.

Upper extremity.

The uppermost one-third of the femur bone is called the upper extremity. It has the following structure.

head..

The frontmost part of the femur bone is the round bone part.The part which is called head of femur.

This round part joins with the acetabulum cavity of the innominate bone to form the hip joint.

The hip joint is a synovial joint so all the characteristics of a synovial joint can be seen here.

Neck..

The narrow part after the head is called the neck. Which is found in four to five centimeters long and round shape.

Greater trochanter and lesser trochanter..

Where the neck ends, two large rough and raised portions of bone are seen. Which is called trochanter.

The larger part that is raised on the outside is called the greater trochanter.While the small portion raised on the inner side is called the lesser trochanter. The line connecting these parts of the trochanter is called the intertrochanteric line. This part is where the muscles are attached.

After the upper extremity is completed, the middle part of the bone, i.e. the middle part of the bone, is known as the saft. Its structure is as follows.

Linea Aspera..

A bony ridge is raised on the posterior side of the face.It is called linea aspera. This part is where the muscles are attached. The smooth part of the femur bone is cylindrical and round in shape.

Lower extremity..

The lower one-third of the femur bone is called the lower activity. In which the lower side is seen as two rounded bony parts. Which is called condyle. The condyle on the medial side is the medial condyle and the lateral side is the lateral condyle. The part separating these two condyles is called the intercondylar notch.

The anterior surface of this condyle is a smooth surface called the patellar surface where the patella bone articulates.

A triangular surface is formed at the back of the lower extremity of the femur bone. It is called the popliteal surface. Popliteal vessels and nerves are seen in this part.

Tibia Bone.

It is also known as shin bone. The tibia is a long bone in the lower extremity. It has two extremity and saft. This bone is a strong and weighty beer bone.

The upper extremity of the tibia bone has two condylar surfaces on the superior surface. The lateral and medial condyles of the femur bone join this surface to form the knee joint.

On the anterior surface of the tibia bone is a rough raised area called tuberosity of tibia.

The fibula bone joins on the lateral side of the tibia bone to form the proximal tibiofibular joint.

The smooth part of the tibia bone is irregularly triangular. There is a sharp crest on its anterior surface, known as crest of tibia. The part of this crest that lies immediately under the skin can be felt by touching with the hand.

A smooth elongated process is present on the medial side of the lower extremity of the tibia bone. It is called medial malleolus. This part joins with the tarsal bone to form the ankle joint.

The lower extremity joins the tibia and fibula to form the distal tibiofibular joint.
