    Study Notes

    Anatomy

    • Branch of biology that considers the structure of living things
    • Related to embryology
    • Divided into gross (visible to the naked eye) and microscopic anatomy

    Physiology

    • Science of the function of living systems
    • Helps determine how organisms and organ systems function

    Importance of Anatomy and Physiology

    • Understanding how the body responds to stimuli, environmental changes, and causes of disease and injury.
    • Maintaining stable internal conditions using negative and positive feedback mechanisms.

    Levels of Organization

    • Chemicals: smallest level (bonds, molecules)
    • Cells: basic unit of life (organelles, compartments)
    • Tissues: group of cells with similar structures and functions
    • Organs: two or more tissue types working together
    • Systems: group of organs performing a common function
    • Organism: all organ systems working together

    Integumentary System

    • Largest organ system
    • Protects the body
    • Contains skin and appendages for waterproofing, cushioning, and protection of deeper tissues
    • Excretes waste
    • Regulates temperature
    • Houses sensory receptors for pain, sensation, pressure, and temperature detection
    • Involved in vitamin D synthesis
    • Provides a barrier against pathogens

    Skeletal System

    • Framework of the body
    • Includes bones, joints, and cartilage
    • Supports organs
    • Provides structure and support

    Muscular System

    • Allows body movement
