    Study Notes

    Anatomy and Physiology

    • Anatomy studies bodily structures; the term originates from Greek meaning "to cut apart."
    • Physiology focuses on bodily processes and functions.
    • Gross anatomy examines large structures visible without magnification; microscopic anatomy requires a microscope.
    • Microscopic anatomy includes cytology (study of cells) and histology (study of tissues).

    Levels of Organization

    • Chemical: Interaction and combination of atoms into molecules.
    • Cell: Basic structural and functional units of living organisms.
    • Tissue: Groups of similar cells and surrounding materials.
    • Organ: Composed of two or more tissue types functioning together.
    • Organ System: Groups of organs that work as a unit due to common functions.
    • Organism: Complex of organ systems mutually dependent on each other.

    Organ Systems

    • Integumentary
    • Skeletal
    • Muscular
    • Nervous
    • Endocrine
    • Cardiovascular
    • Lymphatic
    • Respiratory
    • Digestive
    • Urinary
    • Reproductive

    Anatomical Position

    • Defined as standing upright with the face forward, arms at the sides, palms facing forward.
    • Supine position: lying face upward.
    • Prone position: lying face downward.
    • Central body regions include head, neck, trunk (thorax, abdomen, pelvis).

    Body Parts and Regions

    • Upper limb segments: arm (shoulder to elbow), forearm (elbow to wrist), wrist, hand.
    • Lower limb segments: thigh (hip to knee), leg (knee to ankle), ankle, foot.

    Abdominal Quadrants and Regions

    • Abdomen divided into four quadrants: right-upper, left-upper, right-lower, left-lower using horizontal and vertical lines intersecting at the navel.
    • Abdomen can also be divided into nine regions using four imaginary lines forming a tic-tac-toe grid:
      • Epigastric
      • Right and Left Hypochondriac
      • Umbilical
      • Right and Left Lumbar
      • Hypogastric
      • Right and Left Iliac

    Anatomical Planes

    • Transverse/Horizontal Plane: Divides the body into superior and inferior parts.
    • Frontal/Coronal Plane: Divides the body into anterior and posterior parts.
    • Sagittal Plane: Separates the body into right and left parts.
    • Median Plane: Specific sagittal plane along the midline; divides the body into equal halves.
    • Parasagittal Plane: An uneven sagittal plane.

    Sections of Organs

    • Longitudinal: Cut along the length of an organ.
    • Transverse/Cross Section: Cut completely through an organ, similar to slicing a hot dog.
    • Oblique: Diagonal cut across the long axis of an organ.

    Trunk Cavities

    • Thoracic Cavity: Enclosed by the rib cage, separated from the abdominal cavity by the diaphragm.
    • Abdominal Cavity: Bounded by abdominal muscles, containing organs like stomach, intestines, liver, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys.
    • Pelvic Cavity: Enclosed by pelvic bones, contains urinary bladder, part of large intestine, and reproductive organs.

    Fun Questions (Terms and Relationships)

    • Superior, inferior, anterior, posterior, lateral, medial, proximal, distal, superficial, deep, ipsilateral, contralateral are anatomical terms indicating locations and relationships between body parts.
