Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology Terms
- Anatomy: Study of structure and form of the body.
- Physiology: Study of function of body parts.
- Microscope Anatomy: Examines structures invisible to the naked eye.
- Cytology: Study of body cells and their internal structure.
- Histology: Study of body tissues.
- Gross Anatomy: Investigates structures visible to the naked eye.
- Systemic Anatomy: Studies anatomy of each functional body system.
- Regional Anatomy: Examines all structures in a specific body region as a unit.
- Surface Anatomy: Focuses on superficial markings and internal structures related to the skin.
- Comparative Anatomy: Compares similarities and differences in anatomy across species.
- Embryology: Studies developmental changes from conception to birth.
- Pathologic Anatomy: Examines anatomical changes due to disease.
- Radiographic Anatomy: Investigates relationships among internal structures using imaging techniques.
Physiological Terms
- Cardiovascular Physiology: Examines the functioning of the heart and blood vessels.
- Neurophysiology: Studies nerve impulse propagation throughout the nervous system.
- Respiratory Physiology: Explores regulation of reproductive hormones and functions.
- Pathophysiology: Investigates organ system function in relation to disease or injury.
Levels of Organization
- Organization: All organisms show complex structure and order.
- Metabolism: Sum of all chemical processes in an organism.
- Anabolism: Process of smaller molecules joining to form larger ones.
- Catabolism: Breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones.
- Responsiveness: Ability of organisms to sense and respond to changes.
- Regulation: Adjusting internal functions in response to environmental changes.
- Reproduction: Production of new cells for growth and repair.
Structural Levels
- Chemical Level: Involves atoms and molecules.
- Cellular Level: Smallest living structures, cells.
- Tissue Level: Groups of similar cells performing common functions.
- Organ Level: Composed of organs, which have two or more tissue types.
- Organ System Level: Includes organs working together (e.g., heart and blood vessels).
- Organism Level: The whole living person.
Anatomical Terminology
- Supine: Lying on the back, face up.
- Prone: Lying on the stomach, face down.
- Anatomical Position: Standing upright, feet parallel, palms facing out.
- Superior: Toward the head.
- Inferior: Toward the feet.
- Anterior (Ventral): Front side.
- Posterior (Dorsal): Back side.
- Medial: Towards the middle.
- Lateral: Away from the midline.
- Proximal: Closer to the point of attachment.
- Distal: Further from the point of attachment.
- Superficial: Near the surface.
- Deep: Away from the surface.
Body Cavities and Membranes
- Dorsal Cavity: Contains brain and spinal cord.
- Ventral Cavity: Includes thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
- Pleural Cavity: Houses lungs.
- Pericardial Cavity: Houses the heart.
- Abdominal Pelvic Cavity: Contains stomach, intestines, spleen, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys.
- Pelvic Cavity: Contains bladder, uterus, rectum.
- Parietal Layer: Lines cavity walls.
- Visceral Layer: Covers organs' surfaces.
- Serous Fluid: Provides lubrication between membrane layers.
Homeostasis and Feedback Mechanisms
- Homeostasis: Maintaining a stable internal environment despite external changes.
- Afferent Pathway: Signals arriving at the brain.
- Efferent Pathway: Commands exiting the brain.
- Receptor: Area on dendrites receiving signals.
- Effector: Organ/cell acting in response to a stimulus.
- Negative Feedback Mechanisms: Oppose initial body changes.
- Positive Feedback Loop: Continues changes in the same direction until a specific outcome is achieved.
Imaging Techniques
- Radiography: Uses x-rays for internal structure visualization.
- Mammogram: Lower radiation imaging of breast tissue.
- CT Scan: 3-D images generated from x-ray data.
- MRI: Creates 3D images using magnetic fields.
- Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to compile images.
