Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy is the scientific study of the structure and organization of living organisms.
- Physiology explores the functions and processes of the body's systems and structures.
Types of Anatomy
- Gross anatomy is also known as macroscopic anatomy, focusing on structures visible to the naked eye.
- Microscopic anatomy refers to the study of very small structures using a magnifying lens or microscope.
Etymology
- The Greek words for 'anatomy' translate to "to cut apart," reflecting the dissection practices in studying bodies.
Structural Organization
- At the molecular level, atoms combine to form molecules, such as water, sugars, and proteins.
- The cell is the smallest unit of living things, representing the basic functional unit of life.
- Tissues are groups of similar cells that perform a common function.
Organ Systems
- The circulatory system is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other substances to and from tissue cells.
- The integumentary system serves the functions of protection, regulation of body temperature, and sensation.
- The lymphatic system complements the circulatory system by returning leaked fluid to blood vessels and is involved in immune responses.
- The nervous system functions to control and communicate between different body parts, responding to internal and external stimuli.
Organs and Functions
- An organ is a structure made up of two or more tissue types that work together to perform specific functions.
- The endocrine system produces hormones to regulate reproduction, metabolism, and growth.
