    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.
