Study Notes

Anatomical Sections

Midsagittal section divides the body into equal left and right halves.
Frontal section separates the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions.
Transverse section divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions.

Anatomical Terms

Parasagittal section creates unequal left and right portions.
Sagittal section divides the body into left and right portions, not necessarily equal.
Superficial structures are closer to the surface, e.g., ribs are superficial to the heart.
Deep structures are located away from the surface, e.g., the brain is deep to the skull.

Directional Terminology

Cranial refers to being closer to the head or skull.
Caudal refers to being closer to the tail or lower part of the body.
Superior describes a position above another, while inferior indicates below.
Lateral structures are further from the midline; medial structures are closer to the midline.

Body Cavities

Dorsal cavity contains the brain and spinal cord.
Ventral cavity is subdivided into thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities, protecting internal organs.
The thoracic cavity houses the lungs and heart, separated from abdominal cavity by the diaphragm.

Serous Membranes

Serous membranes consist of visceral (covering organs) and parietal (lining cavities) layers.
Primary function of serous fluid is to reduce friction between organs.

Chemical Reactions and Molecular Properties

Benedict's solution detects monosaccharides, changing from blue to orange upon presence after heating.
Iodine test indicates starch presence, turning blue-black in positive reactions.
Biuret reagent turns purple in the presence of proteins.

Cellular Components and Functions

Mitochondria are responsible for ATP production through cellular respiration.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes lipids.
Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins.

Osmosis and Diffusion

Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane, driven by concentration gradients.
Hypertonic solutions cause cells to shrink, hypotonic solutions cause cells to swell and burst.
Diffusion illustrates passive transport, with molecules moving from high to low concentration areas.

Experiment Observations

Dialysis tubing experiments demonstrate selective permeability with small iodine molecules passing while larger starch molecules do not.
Temperature affects diffusion rates, with warmer environments accelerating molecular movement.

Cell Responses to Solutions

Isotonic solutions keep red blood cells normal; hypotonic causes them to swell and burst, while hypertonic solutions cause them to crenate (shrink).
Water movement is dictated by osmotic balance, affecting cell volume and concentration.
