    Study Notes

    Andreas Vesalius and Modern Anatomy

    • Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), an Italian professor, is considered the founder of modern anatomy.
    • Pioneered the human dissection, challenging moral taboos of his time.
    • Artists documented dissections, creating detailed illustrations of human anatomy.

    Medical Terminology Basics

    • Disease or injury indicates anatomical or physiological abnormalities.
    • "Medical" relates to healing; "medic" means healing, and "al" signifies pertaining to.
    • Therapy refers to specific medical treatments for diseases or injuries.

    Categories of Medical Terms

    • Medical terminology is categorized into history, anatomy, physiology, disease/injury, and therapy.

    Structure of Medical Terms

    • Roots form the main concept of a word (e.g., "medic" in "medical").
    • Suffixes modify the root's meaning (e.g., "al" in "medical").
    • Prefixes come before roots to alter meaning (e.g., "pre" in "premedical").

    Word Translation and Building

    • Terms are translated by breaking them into parts (e.g., "medic/al" translates to "pertaining to healing").
    • Word synthesis combines prefixes, roots, and suffixes (e.g., "pre" + "medic" + "al" results in "premedical").
    • Each medical term must contain at least a root and a suffix; prefixes are optional.

    Combining Vowel Usage

    • Combining vowels make pronunciation easier (e.g., "speed/o/meter" where "o" is the combining vowel).
    • Adding a combining vowel aids in building new terms.

    Surgical Terms

    • Cauterization refers to the process of burning tissue to prevent bleeding.
    • Ligatures are threads used to tie off blood vessels, while ligation describes the act of tying.

    Anesthesia and Analgesia

    • William Morton introduced the ether inhaler for general anesthesia.
    • Anesthesia causes complete lack of sensation; analgesia offers pain relief without numbing feeling.

    Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

    • Infection involves the invasion of organisms into the body.
    • Infectious diseases result from these invasions by pathogens.
    • Organisms can be classified as macroscopic (visible) or microscopic (invisible to the naked eye).

    Pathogenic Fungi

    • Fungi include yeast and molds; can lead to fungal infections (unicellular) or infestations (multicellular).
    • Mycosis refers to infections or infestations caused by fungi.

    Vectors in Disease Spread

    • Vectors are carriers (e.g., ticks, mosquitoes) that transmit parasites requiring assistance for entry into the body.

    Therapy Overview

    • Therapy signifies the treatment process; trauma refers to physical injuries.
    • Two main therapy types are chemotherapy and physiatrics (physical therapy).

    Physiatrics and Treatment Methods

    • Physiatrics employs natural methods of treatment (e.g., electrotherapy, diathermy, heliotherapy, cryotherapy, radiotherapy).
    • Prostheses refer to artificial body parts, now advancing towards robotic limbs and cybernetic organisms.

    Chemotherapy Insights

    • Chemotherapy treats various health issues with chemical agents.
    • Shen Nung is recognized as the Father of Chinese Pharmacy and Pharmacology, emphasizing the preparation and study of drugs.
