Study Notes
Course Overview - ANPH 111
- Focus on Anatomy and Physiology in Nursing.
- Engage in class discussions and online platforms like Canvas.
- Complete and submit course unit tasks for assessment.
Learning Objectives
- Cognitive: Understand anatomy's definitions, relationships between structure and function, the six levels of organization, and homeostasis.
- Affective: Foster respect and open-mindedness during discussions.
- Psychomotor: Actively participate in class, comply with classroom rules, and apply evidence-based practices in care.
Key Terms
- Anatomy: Study of body structures.
- Physiology: Study of body functions and processes.
- Organelles: Small structures within cells.
- Organism: Individual living entity, unicellular or multicellular.
- Metabolism: Energy utilization for growth, movement, and reproduction.
- Growth: Increase in organism size.
- Reproduction: Formation of new cells or organisms.
Anatomy
- Involves studying the structure, development, and interrelations of body parts.
- Approaches to anatomy:
- Systemic Anatomy: Examines body systems (e.g., skeletal, muscular).
- Regional Anatomy: Focuses on specific body areas (e.g., head, abdomen).
- Surface Anatomy: Studies external features and landmarks.
- Anatomical Imaging: Utilizes imaging techniques (e.g., ultrasound, X-rays) to evaluate internal structures.
Physiology
- Explores body functions and processes, helping predict responses to stimuli and maintain homeostasis.
- Subdivisions include:
- Cellular Physiology: Focus on cellular processes.
- Systemic Physiology: Examines organ system functions.
- Human Physiology: Study of physiological processes in humans.
Levels of Organization
- Six structural levels of the human body:
- Chemical Level: Involves atoms and molecules.
- Cell Level: Basic unit of life.
- Tissue Level: Groups of similar cells performing a function.
- Organ Level: Structures made of different tissues.
- Organ System Level: Group of organs working together.
- Organism Level: The entire living individual.
