Study Notes
General Anatomy & Physiology
- Body Cavities: A sagittal section divides the body into left and right portions. The peritoneum covers abdominal organs.
- Cells: The smallest structural and functional units of the body.
- Molecules: Large protein molecules are made of smaller amino acids.
- Cell Respiration: The process of cell respiration produces energy in the form of ATP.
- Organelles: Mitochondria are responsible for ATP production. Flagella enable sperm cell movement. Lysosomes digest ingested pathogens. The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low is called diffusion.
- Solutions: Hypotonic solutions cause cells to swell and hypertonic solutions cause cell shrinkage.
- Cell Division: Interphase is the stage before mitosis where the cell prepares by duplicating its DNA.
- Meiosis: Important for sexual reproduction.
- Bone Tissue: Hyaline cartilage keeps the trachea open; osteocytes and collagen fibers, along with calcium phosphate make up bone structure.
- Nerve Impulse Transmission: Neurotransmitters accomplish transmission at synapses.
Body Tissues and Structures
- Connective Tissue: Meninges enclose the spinal cord.
- Organic/Inorganic Compounds: Glucose and proteins are examples of organic compounds. Water and sodium chloride are inorganic compounds.
- Ribonucleic Acid (RNA): tRNA helps aid in protein synthesis by carrying amino acids to ribosomes.
- Genetic Information (mRNA): mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
- Lysosomes: Contain enzymes for breaking down and recycling cellular waste.
- Filtration: Filtration in the body depends on pressure.
- Genes: Segments of DNA that provide the instructions for protein or functional RNA production.
- Diffusion: Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli of the lungs is an example of diffusion.
- Cytokinesis: Divides the parent cell into two daughter cells at the end of mitosis and meiosis.
- Interphase: Resting phase between successive mitotic divisions; includes DNA replication.
- Proteins: Proteins synthesize new proteins using instructions found in DNA.
- Ventral Cavity: The major body cavity encompassing the front portion of the body includes the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
- Energy Production (Catabolism): The body's main energy source is glucose. The breakdown of complex compounds into simpler ones to release energy is catabolism.
- Body Quadrants: The liver, gallbladder, and part of the intestines are located in the RUQ. The stomach, spleen, and part of the intestines are located in the LUQ.
- Layers of Skin: The epidermis is the outermost layer. Melanocytes produce skin pigment. Sebaceous glands prevent dryness.
- Bone Structure: The outer layers of compact bone are called Haversian systems/osteons.
- Parts of the Sternum: The sternum is composed of the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.
- Blood Transport: Blood transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, immune cells, hormones, and nutrients.
- Muscle Tissue Types: Different types of muscles include skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
- Glands: Apocrine and eccrine glands differ.
- Vitamin D: Vitamin D is generated from 7-dehydrocholesterol in response to UV light exposure.
Anatomy & Physiology Systems
- Bones and Joints: The skull bones are flat bones. Examples of irregular bones include vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, and certain skull parts. Wrist bones are called carpal bones. Immovable joints are called sutures are found in the skull.
- Muscle Groups: The deltoid muscle is an injection site; pectoralis major is in the chest wall. The diaphragm is the primary muscle for breathing.
- Neurotransmitters: Acetylcholine is strongly linked to the parasympathetic nervous system.
- Cranial Nerves: The trigeminal nerves are responsible for chewing; accessory nerves control head movement.
- Eye Parts: The Iris regulates pupil size.
- Ear Parts: Semicircular canals detect motion; the cochlea is involved in hearing.
- Cell Membranes: The cell membrane regulates what enters and exits a cell, protects, and communicates with other cells.
- Muscle Tone: Skeletal muscle tone is the continuous low level tension that maintains posture.
- Nervous System There are ascending and descending tracts in the spinal cord.
Physiological Processes
- Fatigue: Muscle fatigue is due to lactic acid buildup.
- Depolarization: During depolarization, the neuron becomes less negative as sodium ions rush into the cell.
- Sensory Adaptation: Sensory adaptation occurs when the body becomes unaware of a continuing stimulus.
