Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy: The study of body structures and their relationships.
- Physiology: The study of how body parts work together to function.
- Complementarity of Structure and Function: The form of a biological component (e.g., cell, organ, organism) dictates its function.
- Homeostasis: Maintaining stable internal conditions despite external changes.
Hierarchy of Organization
- Chemical Level: Atoms form molecules.
- Cellular Level: Molecules combine to form cells.
- Tissue Level: Similar cells form tissues.
- Organ Level: Different tissues combine to form organs.
- Organ System Level: Organs work together in organ systems.
- Organism Level: All organ systems work together in the organism.
Directional Terms
- Sagittal Plane (Median Plane): Divides the body vertically into left and right halves.
- Parasagittal Plane: Parallel to the sagittal plane but off to one side.
- Coronal Plane (Frontal Plane): Divides the body vertically into front and back sections.
- Transverse Plane (Horizontal Plane): Divides the body horizontally into top and bottom sections.
Body Parts
- Axial Parts: Head, neck, and trunk (midline structures).
- Appendicular Parts: Arms, legs, and appendages attached to the axial skeleton.
