Study Notes
Instructor Background
- Dr. Mars Panganiban Dolar is an Associate Professor II at the College of Medicine and the College of Nursing.
- Has a diverse clinical background including roles as an Emergency Room Physician and Company Physician since 2019.
Anatomy and Physiology Overview
- Anatomy studies the structure of the body, while physiology investigates the functions and processes of living organisms.
- Both disciplines are critical in understanding how the human body maintains homeostasis, ensuring balance in its internal environment.
Topics in Anatomy
- Gross Anatomy: Studied without a microscope.
- Regional Anatomy: Examination of specific areas of the body.
- Systemic Anatomy: Focus on individual body systems.
- Surface Anatomy: Observational techniques for visualizing deeper structures.
- Cytology: Study of cellular structures.
- Histology: Study of tissues at a microscopic level.
Anatomical Imaging Techniques
- X-ray: Uses electromagnetic radiation to create radiographs, producing 2D images for examination.
- Ultrasound: Employs high-frequency sound waves to produce sonograms, enabling visualization of soft tissues.
- Computed Tomography (CT): Generates cross-sectional images using computer-analyzed X-ray data.
- Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA): Enhances imaging through the use of radiopaque dye, useful for viewing blood vessels.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Utilizes radio waves in a magnetic field to generate detailed images of organs and tissues.
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET): Detects metabolic activity by tracking the uptake of radioactively labeled glucose in tissues.
Goals and Foundation
- Emphasis on the critical role of continuous learning in nursing and medicine.
- Laid the foundation for students to understand the complex interactions within the human body and prepare for future clinical practices.
