Study Notes
Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy & Physiology is essential for understanding nursing coursework.
- Course CN 100 offers foundational knowledge relevant for future nursing studies.
Key Learning Objectives
- Define Anatomy and Physiology.
- Identify five branches of Anatomy.
- Identify three branches of Physiology.
Definition of Anatomy
- Anatomy studies body structures and their relationships.
- Originates from Greek words: "Ana" (up) and "Temnein"/"tomos" (to cut).
- First studied through dissection of cadavers.
Branches of Anatomy
- Regional Anatomy: Focuses on specific body regions (e.g., head, chest).
- Systemic Anatomy: Structures of specific body systems (e.g., nervous, respiratory).
- Gross Anatomy: Structures observable without a microscope.
- Microscopic Anatomy: Structures examined using a microscope.
- Developmental Anatomy: Studies individual development from fertilization to death.
- Pathological Anatomy: Studies structural changes related to disease.
- Histology: Examines microscopic tissue structures.
- Radiographic Anatomy: Visualizes structures using imaging techniques (e.g., x-rays, MRI).
- Cytology: Studies cellular structures.
- Blanchology: Examines internal organs.
- Embryology: Studies human development in the first eight weeks post-fertilization.
Definition of Physiology
- Physiology is the study of body functions and how body parts work.
- Derived from Greek words: "Physis" (nature/origin) and "Logos" (study of).
Branches of Physiology
- Neurophysiology: Studies functional properties of the nervous system.
- Other branches not specified but important in medical professions.
