Study Notes

Body Organization

Body organization progresses through several levels: Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ system, and Organismal.

Life Functions

Essential life functions include:
- Maintaining boundaries
- Movement
- Responsiveness
- Digestion
- Metabolism
- Excretion
- Reproduction
- Growth

Survival Needs

Vital survival needs encompass:
- Nutrients
- Oxygen
- Water
- Appropriate temperature
- Appropriate pressure

Oxygen's Role

Oxygen is crucial for the release of energy from food via cellular respiration.

Anatomy vs. Physiology

Anatomy focuses on the structure and shape of body parts.
Physiology examines how these parts function and work together.

Directional Terms

Inferior (caudal): refers to a position below.
Superior (cranial): denotes a position above.
Anterior (ventral): indicates being at the front.
Posterior (dorsal): suggests being at the back.
Medial: means toward the midline.
Lateral: means toward the side.
Intermediate: lies between two structures.
Proximal: indicates closeness to a reference point.
Distal: refers to being far from a reference point.
Superficial: describes being on the surface.
Deep: indicates a position toward the center.

Planes of the Body

Frontal (Coronal) plane: divides the body into anterior and posterior.
Sagittal plane: creates a right and left division; can be uneven.
Midsagittal plane: produces an equal right and left division.
Transverse plane: separates the body into superior and inferior parts.

Anatomical Relations

The lungs are lateral to the heart, while the heart is intermediate to the lungs.

Specific Regions

The umbilical region contains the navel.

Cavity Separation

The transverse plane can separate the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity.
