Study Notes
Chapter 2: Anatomy and Physiology - Milady
Overview of Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy: Study of the structure of the body and its parts.
- Physiology: Study of how body parts function and work together.
Body Systems
-
Skeletal System
- Composed of 206 bones.
- Provides structure, support, and protection for the body.
- Key functions: movement (with muscles), mineral storage, blood cell production.
-
Muscular System
- Includes over 600 muscles.
- Types of muscles:
- Skeletal: voluntary control, moves bones.
- Smooth: involuntary control, found in organs.
- Cardiac: involuntary control, makes up the heart.
-
Circulatory System
- Composed of the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
- Transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products.
- Key components: arteries, veins, capillaries.
-
Respiratory System
- Responsible for gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide).
- Main components: lungs, trachea, bronchi.
-
Digestive System
- Breaks down food for nutrient absorption.
- Key organs: mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines.
-
Nervous System
- Controls body functions through electrical signals.
- Divided into central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral (nerves).
- Key functions: sensory perception, motor control, reflexes.
-
Endocrine System
- Glands release hormones to regulate body processes.
- Key glands: pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas.
-
Integumentary System
- Composed of skin, hair, nails.
- Protects body, regulates temperature, and provides sensory information.
-
Lymphatic/Immune System
- Supports immune functions and fluid balance.
- Includes lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and spleen.
-
Urinary System
- Eliminates waste and regulates body fluids.
- Main organs: kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra.
-
Reproductive System
- Responsible for producing offspring.
- Male: testes, prostate, penis.
- Female: ovaries, uterus, vagina.
Cell Structure and Function
- Cells: Basic units of life.
- Key components:
- Cell membrane: protective barrier.
- Nucleus: contains genetic material.
- Cytoplasm: jelly-like substance where cellular activities occur.
- Types of cells: epithelial, muscle, nerve, connective.
Tissues
-
Types of tissues:
- Epithelial: covers body surfaces and lines cavities.
- Connective: supports and binds other tissues (e.g., bone, blood).
- Muscle: responsible for movement.
- Nervous: transmits impulses for communication.
Body Planes and Directional Terms
-
Planes:
- Sagittal: divides body into left and right.
- Frontal (coronal): divides body into front and back.
- Transverse: divides body into upper and lower parts.
-
Directional terms:
- Superior: towards the head.
- Inferior: towards the feet.
- Anterior: towards the front.
- Posterior: towards the back.
- Medial: towards the midline.
- Lateral: away from the midline.
Body Cavities
- Dorsal cavity: houses the brain and spinal cord.
- Ventral cavity: contains thoracic and abdominal organs.
- Thoracic cavity: includes lungs and heart.
- Abdominal cavity: contains digestive organs.
Homeostasis
- The body’s ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes.
- Key processes: feedback loops, regulation of temperature, pH balance.
Importance of Anatomy and Physiology in Esthetics
- Understanding body functions enhances skincare treatments.
- Knowledge of anatomy boosts safety and effectiveness in procedures.
Overview of Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy involves the study of body structure and organization.
- Physiology focuses on the functions and interactions of body parts.
Body Systems
-
Skeletal System:
- Comprises 206 bones, providing structure and protection.
- Facilitates movement with muscles, stores minerals, and produces blood cells.
-
Muscular System:
- Contains over 600 muscles categorized into:
- Skeletal muscles: under voluntary control and move bones.
- Smooth muscles: involuntary, found in internal organs.
- Cardiac muscles: involuntary, forming the heart.
- Contains over 600 muscles categorized into:
-
Circulatory System:
- Made up of the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
- Responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste.
-
Respiratory System:
- Engages in gas exchange, primarily oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- Key components include lungs, trachea, and bronchi.
-
Digestive System:
- Breaks down food for nutrient absorption via organs such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
-
Nervous System:
- Regulates body functions through electrical impulses.
- Divided into central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral (nerves) systems.
-
Endocrine System:
- Involves glands that secrete hormones influencing various body processes.
- Key glands include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and pancreas.
-
Integumentary System:
- Encompasses skin, hair, and nails.
- Functions include body protection, temperature regulation, and sensory reception.
-
Lymphatic/Immune System:
- Assists in immune responses and maintaining fluid balance through lymph nodes, vessels, and spleen.
-
Urinary System:
- Responsible for waste elimination and regulating fluid balance, utilizing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
-
Reproductive System:
- Essential for offspring production.
- Male components: testes, prostate, and penis; Female components: ovaries, uterus, and vagina.
Cell Structure and Function
- Cells are the fundamental units of life with essential structures:
- Cell membrane: acts as a protective barrier.
- Nucleus: houses genetic material.
- Cytoplasm: the site for cellular processes.
- Types of cells include epithelial, muscle, nerve, and connective cells.
Tissues
- Four main tissue types:
- Epithelial: covers surfaces and lines cavities.
- Connective: supports and binds other tissues, e.g., bone and blood.
- Muscle: enables movement.
- Nervous: facilitates impulse transmission for communication.
Body Planes and Directional Terms
-
Planes:
- Sagittal: divides body into left and right halves.
- Frontal (coronal): divides body into front (anterior) and back (posterior).
- Transverse: divides body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) sections.
-
Directional Terms:
- Superior: closer to the head.
- Inferior: closer to the feet.
- Anterior: towards the front.
- Posterior: towards the back.
- Medial: closer to the midline of the body.
