Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology Fundamentals
- Anatomy is the study of the body's structure, focusing on "what" the body is made of.
- Gross anatomy examines large structures visible to the naked eye.
- Physiology studies how the body works, focusing on "how" functions occur.
- Pathophysiology explores how body functions are disrupted in diseases.
- A disease is a disorder of structure or function within the human body.
Levels of Organization
- The body's organization is hierarchical, from cells to the complete organism.
- Cells are the basic structural units.
- Tissues are groups of similar cells working together.
- Organs are structures composed of multiple tissues.
- Organ systems consist of interacting organs.
- Organisms are collections of systems maintaining life.
Basic Chemistry and Cells
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
- Elements are substances made of atoms.
- Atoms have a nucleus (protons and neutrons) and orbiting electrons.
- Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus.
- Atomic mass is the number of protons plus neutrons.
- Isotopes are forms of the same atom with different masses.
- Chemical bonds include ionic bonds (electron transfer) and covalent bonds (electron sharing).
- Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds between polar molecules.
- Ions are charged atoms. Electrolytes are ions dissolved in water, conducting electricity.
- Molecules are two or more atoms bonded together, while compounds involve different types of atoms.
- Chemical reactions involve atoms/molecules interacting to form new combinations.
- Acids release hydrogen ions; bases combine with hydrogen ions.
- pH measures H+ concentration, with 7 neutral.
- Common pH in blood is slightly alkaline (7.35-7.45).
- Energy exists in various forms: chemical, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and radiant (i.e. light).
Skeletal System
- The skeletal system supports the body, protects organs, facilitates movement, stores minerals, and produces blood cells
- Components include bones, joints, cartilage, and ligaments.
- Common bone classification types include long, short, flat, and irregular bones.
- Bones are composed of compact and spongy bone.
- Compact bone forms the shafts of long bones, while spongy bone is often found in the ends of bones.
- Bone cells include osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts.
- Osteogenic cells are bone stem cells; osteoblasts form new bone; osteocytes maintain bone; osteoclasts remove and reshape bone.
- Ossification is bone formation.
- Intramembranous ossification replaces connective tissue with bone and endochondral ossification replaces cartilage with bone.
- Bone growth occurs at the epiphyseal discs.
- Osteoclasts hollow the bone, while osteoblasts deposit bone on the outer surface.
Muscular System
- Muscles are skeletal, smooth, or cardiac.
- Skeletal muscle structure includes fascia layers, fascicles, tendons, and aponeurosis.
- The sarcomere is the functional unit found within the muscle fiber.
- Contraction relies on the sliding filament mechanism involving actin and myosin.
- Calcium and ATP are critical for muscle contraction; ATP powers interactions between the proteins.
- Muscle terminology includes origin, insertion, prime mover, synergist, antagonist, and other terms for muscle action.
- Muscles hypertrophy with use and atrophy with disuse.
- Muscles can respond with a single twitch or tetanus (repeated stimuli).
Cell Division and Metabolism
- Mitosis is cellular reproduction for growth and repair
- Metabolism covers cellular processing of raw materials.
- Anabolism builds larger molecules.
- Catabolism breaks down molecules to release energy.
- Carbohydrates are organic compounds used for energy; stored as glycogen or fat.
- Glycolysis is anaerobic glucose breakdown.
- Aerobic respiration breaks down glucose with oxygen to produce CO2, water, and ATP
- Lipids (fats and oils) play roles such as energy storage and membrane structure.
- Proteins are crucial for many bodily functions; essential amino acids must be consumed,
- Apoptosis is programmed cell death.
- Necrosis is cell death resulting from injury
Additional Concepts
- Homeostasis is maintaining a stable internal environment.
- Negative feedback mechanisms oppose initial changes to maintain stability
- Positive feedback mechanisms amplify initial changes
- Pathogens are disease-causing microorganisms
- Sterilization is killing all living organisms
- Types of pathogens include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, worms, arthropods.
