Study Notes
Course Overview
- Course focuses on ten anatomical systems and their physiological functions.
- Skills include recognizing and palpating bone landmarks and muscle groups.
Levels of Structural Organization
- Five levels of organization in the human body:
- Chemical level
- Cell level (30 trillion cells)
- Tissue level
- Organ level
- System level
Anatomical Systems
- Transport Systems: Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems.
- Communication:
- Internal: Nervous and Endocrine Systems.
- External: Special Senses.
- Intake and Waste Elimination:
- Respiratory, Digestive, and Urinary Systems.
- Protection and Reproduction: Musculoskeletal and Reproductive Systems.
Anatomical Terms
- Directional Terms:
- Medial: Closer to midline.
- Lateral: Further from midline.
- Proximal: Closer to point of attachment.
- Distal: Further from point of attachment.
- Anterior/Ventral: Front side.
- Posterior/Dorsal: Back side.
- Superior: Toward head.
- Inferior: Away from head.
Body Planes
- Specific anatomical planes define orientations of the body.
Atomic Structure
- Subatomic Particles:
- Proton: 1 unit mass, positive charge.
- Neutron: 1 unit mass, neutral charge.
- Electron: Negligible mass, negative charge.
Molecules and Compounds
- Classifications: Organic (carbon and hydrogen) vs. Inorganic (others).
- Molecule examples: Water (H2O) and Sodium Chloride (NaCl).
Electrolytes
- Key electrolytes: Sodium (Na+), Chloride (Cl-), Potassium (K+), Calcium (Ca2+), Bicarbonate (HCO3-), Phosphate (PO4-).
- Functions include action potential generation, osmotic pressure maintenance, and pH buffering.
Acids, Bases, and pH
- pH scale measures hydrogen ion concentration; normal range is 7.35-7.45.
Biological Molecules
- Carbohydrates: Functions include energy supply, energy storage (e.g., glycogen), structural components of DNA/RNA, cell surface receptors.
- Amino Acids and Proteins: Composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen; have an amino group, carboxyl group, and hydrogen atom.
- Lipids: Include fats, phospholipids, vitamins, prostaglandins, and steroid hormones.
- Nucleotides: Include structures like ATP and ADP.
Enzymes
- Catalysts for biochemical reactions, critical in metabolism and cellular processes.
Homeostasis
- Maintains internal stability; primarily regulated by negative feedback mechanisms.
- Positive feedback examples include blood clotting and labor contractions.
- Example of negative feedback: body temperature regulation.
Body Fluids and Movement of Substances
- Diffusion: Movement of molecules from high to low concentration (e.g., sugar dissolving in coffee).
- Osmosis: Movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
Fluid Compartments
- Body fluids divided into two main compartments: Extracellular Fluid (ECF) and Intracellular Fluid (ICF).
