Study Notes
Anatomy
- Anatomy involves the study of an organism's structure by separating and examining its parts.
- Divided into two main types: microscopic (cytology and histology) and gross anatomy.
Types of Gross Anatomy
- Surface Anatomy: Visible external anatomy observable in daily life.
- Regional Anatomy: Detailed anatomy specific to regions of the body (e.g., arm anatomy in medical schooling).
- Systemic Anatomy: Organization based on 11 organ systems, covering interrelationships of organs.
Physiology
- Physiology studies the functions and activities of life within organs, tissues, and cells, focusing on how they work.
- The principle "structure follows function" emphasizes that anatomical features are designed to enable specific functions.
Levels of Organization
- Chemical Level: Composed of elements and molecules.
- Cellular Level: Basic structural units of organisms.
- Tissue Level: Group of similar cells performing a shared function.
- Organ Level: Composed of different tissues working together for a specific function.
- Organ System Level: Multiple organs collaborating to carry out complex bodily functions.
- Organism Level: Entire living being.
Chemicals
- CHON elements (Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen) are the most abundant in living organisms.
Vital Properties of Living Organisms
- Responsiveness, Growth & Differentiation, Reproduction, Movement, Metabolism & Excretion, and Homeostasis.
Organ Systems Overview
- Integumentary System: Protects from the environment, regulates temperature, and stores energy.
- Skeletal System: Provides support, protects soft tissues, stores minerals, and produces blood cells.
- Muscular System: Enables movement, maintains posture, and generates heat.
- Nervous System: Directs immediate responses to stimuli and coordinates organ actions.
- Endocrine System: Manages long-term changes through hormone release.
- Cardiovascular System: Transports materials such as nutrients and waste.
- Lymphatic System: Offers defense against infections and diseases.
- Respiratory System: Facilitates gas exchange between air and blood.
- Digestive System: Processes food and absorbs vital nutrients.
- Urinary System: Removes excess fluids and waste, regulates body pH.
- Reproductive System: Produces sex cells and hormones.
Anatomical Terminology
- Standardized language describes body locations and movements, utilizing the anatomical position as a reference.
Serous Membranes
- Line ventral body cavities, secrete fluid to protect organ surfaces and cavity walls.
- Key types include pleural (lungs), peritoneal (abdominal cavity), and pericardial (heart).
Exam Preparation
- Familiarize yourself with identifying anatomical landmarks and organelles.
- Prepare for multiple-choice questions and essay prompts to demonstrate understanding of anatomy and physiology.
Lab Procedures
- Ensure cleanliness during lab sessions by pushing in chairs and storing models properly.
