Study Notes
Definitions and Terms
- Anatomy refers to the structure of the human body and its organs, including their relationships and systems.
- The crural region is the anatomical term for the leg area, specifically between the knee and the ankle.
- Cephalic means relating to the head, often used in anatomical terms to describe locations or directions.
Organization of the Human Body
- The human body has a complex organization that can be categorized into levels: cells, tissues, organs, and systems.
- Major organ systems include 12 distinct systems, such as:
- Integumentary
- Skeletal
- Muscular
- Nervous
- Endocrine
- Cardiovascular
- Lymphatic
- Respiratory
- Digestive
- Urinary
- Female Reproductive
- Male Reproductive
Blood Cell Production
- The organ system responsible for producing blood cells is the skeletal system, particularly the bone marrow within bones.
Anatomical Directions
- Proximal refers to a position closer to the trunk of the body, while distal indicates a position further away from the trunk.
Atomic Structure
- The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, while the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons within the nucleus.
Medical Terminology
- The "four F's" related to spleen diagnosis usually refer to "female, fat, fertile, and forty," describing typical demographic factors for patients with spleen issues.
Characteristics of Blood
- Human blood is typically red due to the presence of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen and gives blood its color.
