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.
