Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy is the study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.
- Physiology is the study of the function of the body's structural machinery.
Levels of Organization
- The major levels of organization in the body, from simplest to most complex, are: • Atoms • Molecules • Organelles • Cells • Tissues • Organs • Organ systems • Human organism
Anatomical Position
- The body is erect, with feet slightly apart, palms facing forward, and thumbs pointing away from the body.
Directional Terms
- No specific directional terms are listed.
Body Planes
- The three main body planes are: • Sagittal (divides the body into right and left parts) • Frontal or Coronal (divides the body into anterior and posterior parts) • Transverse or Horizontal (divides the body into superior and inferior parts)
Body Cavities
- The body cavities are: • Dorsal Cavity (within the skull and encases the brain) • Ventral Body Cavity (subdivided into Thoracic and Abdominopelvic cavities) • Thoracic Cavity (contains lungs and heart) • Abdominopelvic Cavity (divided into Abdominal and Pelvic cavities)
Abdominal Regions and Quadrants
- The abdomen is divided into: • Nine regions • Four quadrants (right upper, left upper, right lower, and left lower)
Body Regions
- The body is divided into: • Axial (head, neck, and trunk) • Appendicular (appendages or limbs)
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment in an ever-changing outside world.
- Homeostasis is necessary for the body to process energy and survive.
- Chemical, thermal, and neural factors interact to maintain homeostasis.
- Example: Regulation of blood pressure to maintain proper organ function.
