    Study Notes

    Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology

    • Anatomy is the study of internal and external body structures. Knowledge of anatomy is crucial for physical assessments, communication, understanding physiology, pathophysiology, and nursing interventions.
    • Physiology is the study of body functions at the chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels. Nurses need a strong understanding of both anatomy and physiology.

    Levels of Structural Organization

    • Chemical level: Atoms and molecules.
    • Cellular level: Smallest living units.
    • Tissue level: Groups of cells performing specific functions.
    • Organ level: Two or more tissues working together.
    • Organ system level: Organs working interdependently.
    • Organism level: The whole living individual.

    Anatomical Landmarks & Positions

    • Anatomical position: Standard reference (standing upright, facing forward, arms at sides, palms forward).
    • Anterior (ventral): Front view.
