Study Notes
Body Cavities and Regions
- The body has different cavities and regions, including the four abdominal quadrants and nine abdominal regions.
- The four abdominal quadrants are: right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant, right lower quadrant, and left lower quadrant.
- The nine abdominal regions are: right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, right lumbar, umbilical, left lumbar, right iliac, hypogastric, and left iliac.
Directional Terms
- Directional terms are used to describe the location of body parts in relation to each other.
- Examples of directional terms include: anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, medial, lateral, proximal, and distal.
The Cell
- The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.
- A cell consists of different parts, including the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus.
Tissues
- Tissues are groups of cells that are similar in structure and perform a common or related function.
- There are four main types of tissues: epithelial, connective, nervous, and muscle tissue.
- Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, and forms glands.
- Epithelial tissue functions include: protection, absorption, filtration, secretion, excretion, and sensory reception.
Epithelial Tissue
- Epithelial tissue is a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity.
- Simple cuboidal epithelium consists of a single layer of cube-like cells with large, spherical central nuclei, and functions in secretion and absorption.
- Simple columnar epithelium consists of a single layer of tall cells with round to oval nuclei, and some cells bear cilia, with functions including secretion, absorption, and sensory reception.
Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of body parts and their relationships to one another.
- Physiology is the study of how the body parts function to perform their life-sustaining activities.
- There are different types of anatomy, including: gross/macroscopic anatomy, regional anatomy, systemic anatomy, surface anatomy, and microscopic anatomy.
- Cytology is the study of cells, histology is the study of body tissues, and developmental anatomy traces changes in structures throughout life.
