    Study Notes

    Chapter 1: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology

    • Study Guide Instructions: Do not use online resources for answers; exam questions are based solely on the textbook. Study guides are valuable study tools but do not need to be submitted.
    • Completing Study Guides: Read textbook sections first to understand context and background information. Then, answer the study guide questions. Many exam questions will be variations on textbook information from the study guide.
    • Scientific Method Example: The scientific method is a knowledge-advancement system that starts with a hypothesis, which is then tested through observation and experimentation.

    Section 1-1

    • Learning Strategies: Read the text and view the accompanying illustrations together for optimal learning.
    • Section 1-1 is an introduction: No questions for this section.

    Section 1-2: Anatomy and Physiology

    • Integration of Anatomy and Physiology: Anatomy (structure) and physiology (function) are closely interconnected.
    • Anatomical Terms:
    • Anatomy: The study of structure.
    • Physiology: The study of function.
    • Types of Anatomy:
    • Gross/Macroscopic anatomy: Large body structures visible to the naked eye.
    • Microscopic anatomy: Structures too small to be seen without a microscope.
    • Histology: The study of tissues.
    • Signs vs. Symptoms: A sign is an observable physical change; a symptom is a subjective experience (pain, nausea).
    • Scientific Method: A systematic process for advancing knowledge, starting with a hypothesis to answer a specific question and testing it via data collection through observation and experimentation.

    Section 1-3: Levels of Organization

    • Levels of Organization (Simple to Complex): Chemical, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism.
    • Levels of Organization Details: Each successive level is comprised of the prior level's components working together for a combined function.
    • Spotlight Figure 1-2 (Organ Systems): Organize the 12 organ systems and their components. (The image distinguishes between male and female reproductive systems)

    Section 1-4: Medical Terminology

    • Importance of Terminologies: Terminologia Anatomica (TA), Terminologia Histologica (TH), and Terminologia Embryologica (TE) are crucial for understanding anatomy and physiology amongst professionals.

    Section 1-5: Anatomical Terms

    • Anatomical Position: The standard reference position for describing human anatomy. (Stand upright, facing forward, eyes forward, arms at the sides, palms forward).
    • Anatomical Terms' Importance: Defining location and direction of body structures precisely and consistently.
    • Directional Terms (Examples): Proximal/distal, medial/lateral, cranial/caudal, anterior/posterior, dorsal/ventral, superficial/deep (etc.).
    • Anatomical Regions and Quadrants:
    • Anatomical regions: Larger divisions of the body that provide more context for relative positions.
    • Anatomical quadrants: Divisions for assessing regions and organs during clinical assessment.
      • Which is more specific: Anatomical regions are more specific than quadrants.
    • Body Sections (Examples):
    • Frontal/coronal section: Dividing the body into front and back portions.
    • Sagittal section: Dividing the body into left and right portions.
    • Transverse section: Dividing the body into top and bottom portions.
    • Parasagittal section: A section parallel to the sagittal plane, but not directly in the midline.

    Section 1-6: Body Cavities

    • Body Cavities: Enclosed spaces that protect internal organs and allow for organ movement.
    • Thoracic vs. Abdominopelvic: The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity.
    • Serous Membranes: Sheets of tissue lining body cavities and covering organs, producing a thin, lubricating fluid to reduce friction.
    • Body Cavities and Organ Position: The position of the kidneys and pancreas, in this example, is described as retroperitoneal.

    Section 1-7: Homeostasis

    • Homeostasis: Maintenance of relatively stable internal conditions in the body.
    • Positive and Negative Feedback:
    • Negative feedback: Opposes change from normal and stabilizes conditions.
    • Positive feedback: Enhances the change from the normal state.
    • Examples: Examples of feedback control systems in the body.

    Section 1-8: Feedback

    • Function of feedback: Positive/negative feedback mechanisms regulate processes.
    • Feedback and examples: Types of negative/positive feedback mechanisms used by the body to maintain homeostasis. Examples of specific mechanisms include blood clotting and thermoregulation.
