Study Notes
Anatomy
- Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts.
- Anatomy uses observation to determine the size and relationships of body parts.
Types of Anatomy
- Gross anatomy studies large, easily observable structures.
- An example of gross anatomy is the digestive system organs.
Human Body Organ Systems
- The human body has multiple organ systems that work together.
- The reproductive system is responsible for the production of offspring.
- The male reproductive system includes the testes, scrotum, penis, accessory glands, and duct system.
- The female reproductive system includes the ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina.
Necessary Life Functions
- Necessary life functions include reproduction, growth, movement, responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, excretion, and maintenance of boundaries.
- Reproduction occurs at a cellular level and an organismal level.
- Growth involves increasing cell size or body size (through increasing the number of cells).
Survival Needs
- Survival needs include nutrients, oxygen, water, normal body temperature, and atmospheric pressure.
- Nutrients are chemicals used for energy and cell building.
- Oxygen is required for chemical reactions, and is made available by the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
- Water is required for most bodily functions and is the most abundant chemical in the human body.
Body Planes and Sections
- Sections are cuts made along imaginary lines known as planes.
- There are three types of planes: sagittal, frontal (or coronal), and transverse (or cross).
- A sagittal section divides the body into left and right parts.
- A median (or midsagittal) section divides the body into equal left and right parts.
- A frontal (or coronal) section divides the body into anterior and posterior parts.
- A transverse (or cross) section divides the body into superior and inferior parts.
