Study Notes

Module 1: Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology

Study Guide Instructions: Make a copy, rename, type your name, complete in blue font, save as .pdf, submit via Canvas.

Chapter 1.1: Overview of Anatomy & Physiology

Gross Anatomy: Study of structures large enough to see without magnification (e.g., brain).
Macroscopic Anatomy: Study of structures large enough to be seen without magnification (e.g., brain).
Microscopic Anatomy: Study of structures too small to see without magnification (e.g., tissues).
Physiology: Study of function (e.g., homeostasis).
Form and Function Relationship: Form and function are interconnected. Example: The hand's structure allows for grasping and fine motor skills.

Chapter 1.2: Structural Organization of the Human Body

Organizational Levels (least to most complex):
- Chemical level (atoms)
- Cellular level (neurons)
- Tissue level (muscle tissues)
- Organ level (heart)
- Organ system level (circulatory system)
- Organismal level (human)
Cell Definition: Smallest independently functioning unit of a living organism.

Chapter 1.5: Homeostasis

Homeostasis Definition: The body continuously monitors its internal conditions.
Importance of Homeostasis: Keeps physiological parameters within optimal ranges (e.g., temperature, blood glucose).
Homeostasis Failure: Can lead to serious health conditions or death.

Chapter 1.6: Anatomical Terminology

Anatomical Position: Body standing upright, facing forward, arms at sides with palms forward.
Anatomical Right/Left: Refers to the right/left sides of the body in anatomical position.
Anatomical Regions: Specific regions of the body (e.g., arm, cheek, neck, groin, knee).
Feedback Loops
- Stimulus: Environmental change or input.
- Receptor: Monitors a physiological value.
- Control center: Compares value to normal range.
- Set-point: Normal range.
- Effector Organ: Carries out the action.
- Negative Feedback: Maintains homeostasis; keeps variables within normal range (example: body temperature)
- Positive Feedback: Amplifies the initial change (example: childbirth)
Body Planes:
- Sagittal: Divides the body into right and left halves.
- Transverse: Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions.
- Frontal (Coronal): Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions.
Body Cavities
Major organs and which cavities they are located in (examples: stomach—abdominal cavity; brain-cranial cavity).
Abdominopelvic Regions/Quadrants
- Organ locations are described using anatomical regions and quadrants.
