Study Notes
Anatomy and Organ Systems: A Comprehensive Overview
- Homeostasis involves maintaining a stable internal environment in organisms and requires oxygen, water, nutrients, pressure, and heat.
- The levels of structural organization in organisms include the chemical level (atoms and molecules), cellular level (cells and organelles), tissue level (groups of similar cells), organ level (organs composed of different tissues), organ system level (groups of related organs), and organism level (all systems combined).
- Major organ systems in the human body include the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
- Superficial anatomy involves locating structures on or near the body surface, such as the anatomical position (standing erect with palms facing forward) and different body positions (supine and prone).
- Anatomical directions include anterior/ventral (front), posterior/dorsal (back), superior/superficial (near the surface), inferior (away from the surface), lateral (away from the midline), medial (toward the midline), proximal (toward the attachment point), distal (away from the attachment point), and left and right.
- Anatomical lines are used to visualize the body from different perspectives, including anterior, lateral, and posterior views.
- Major anatomical regions include the head, neck, trunk (thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic regions), and appendicular regions (upper and lower limbs).
- The abdominopelvic cavity is divided into quadrants (LUQ, RUQ, LLQ, RLQ) and regions (epigastric, hypochondriac, umbilical, lumbar, hypogastric, inguinal).
- Planes and sections are used to visualize the internal organization and structure of the body, and are important in radiological techniques such as MRI, CT, and PET scans.
- Body cavities protect organs from shocks and permit changes in size and shape, with the thoracic cavity containing the pleural cavities (lungs) and the mediastinum (blood vessels, trachea, esophagus).
- The abdominalpelvic cavity includes the peritoneal cavity (abdominal and pelvic cavities), which house organs like the liver, stomach, intestines, and urinary bladder.
- The thoracic cavity is lined with a serous membrane called the pleura, which consists of a parietal layer (lines the cavity) and a visceral layer (covers the lungs), with pleural fluid lubricating the space between the layers.
