    Study Notes

    Anatomy Overview

    • Anatomy is categorized into Gross Anatomy (macroscopic) and Microscopic Anatomy.

    Gross Anatomy

    • Studies large structures visible to the naked eye.
    • Key forms include:
      • Surface Anatomy: Examines general form and superficial markings.
      • Regional Anatomy: Focuses on specific body areas (e.g., head, neck).
      • Systemic Anatomy: Studies organ systems functioning together.
      • Developmental Anatomy: Describes changes from conception to maturity.
      • Clinical Anatomy: Important for medical practices, includes:
        • Medical Anatomy: Changes during illness.
        • Radiographic Anatomy: Structures imaged via techniques.
        • Surgical Anatomy: Landmarks crucial for surgical procedures.

    Definitions

    • Anatomy: Derived from Greek, means "cutting open"; study of body structures.
    • Physiology: Studies the vital functions of living organisms.

    Microscopic Anatomy

    • Focuses on structures requiring magnification, divided into:
      • Cytology: Studies internal structures of individual cells.
      • Histology: Examines tissues, combinations of cells performing functions.

    Physiology

    • Examines the functions of anatomical structures, with specialties including:
      • Cell Physiology: Functions at chemical and molecular levels.
      • Special Physiology: Individual organ functions (e.g., cardiac physiology).
      • Systemic Physiology: Functioning of organ systems.
      • Pathological Physiology: Effects of diseases on organs/systems.

    Organ System Interactions

    • Organs combine to form organ systems that work together to maintain organism health.
    • The human body has 11 organ systems:
      • Integumentary
      • Skeletal
      • Muscular
      • Nervous
      • Endocrine
      • Cardiovascular
      • Lymphatic
      • Respiratory
      • Digestive
      • Urinary
      • Reproductive (♂ & ♀)

    Homeostasis

    • Maintenance of a stable internal environment through organ system cooperation.

    Integumentary System

    • Comprises skin, hair, sweat glands, nails.
    • Functions:
      • Protection, temperature regulation, sensory information.

    Skeletal System

    • Composed of bones, cartilage, ligaments, bone marrow.
    • Functions:
      • Support and protection, mineral storage, blood cell formation.

    Muscular System

    • Includes skeletal muscles and tendons.
    • Functions:
      • Movement, support for tissues, heat generation.

    Nervous System

    • Composed of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs.
    • Key functions:
      • Processing sensory information, coordinating body responses.

    Endocrine System

    • Includes pituitary gland, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, gonads.
    • Functions:
      • Long-term activity regulation, metabolic activity adjustments, developmental changes.

    Cardiovascular System

    • Comprising the heart, blood, blood vessels.
    • Functions:
      • Blood and nutrient distribution, waste product transport, temperature regulation.

    Lymphatic System

    • Consists of spleen, thymus, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, tonsils.
    • Functions:
      • Defense against disease, returning tissue fluids to blood.

    Respiratory System

    • Composed of nasal cavities, larynx, trachea, lungs.
    • Functions:
      • Air delivery to alveoli, oxygen transfer to blood, carbon dioxide removal.

    Digestive System

    • Includes teeth, tongue, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas.
    • Functions:
      • Food processing, nutrient absorption, energy storage.

    Urinary System

    • Comprises kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra.
    • Functions:
      • Waste excretion, urine volume regulation, ion concentration and pH control.

    Reproductive System

    • Includes testes, epididymis, ductus deferens, prostate gland.
    • Functions:
      • Production of male sex cells (sperm) and hormones.
