    • They will be able to describe various subspecialties of anatomy and physiology.
    • Students need to explain basic body functions.
    • Knowledge of the six levels of organization will be required.
    • A brief overview of 11 organ systems and their functions will be provided.

    Learning Objectives (Continued)

    • Students will be able to describe anatomical positions, regional names, and directional terms for the human body.
    • They will need to explain the major planes and sections of the body.
    • Students will need to understand and explain the body cavities and their subdivisions.
    • They must explain the locations of organs in their specific cavity, abdominopelvic quadrants, and regions.

    Introduction

    • Anatomy and physiology are two branches of science.
    • These sciences provide understanding of body parts and functions.
    • Anatomy studies structure
    • Physiology studies body functions

    Anatomy

    • Anatomy is the study of bodily structure or the process of cutting.
    • Early anatomical study focused on understanding bodily structure.

    Human Anatomy

    • Studies the shape and structure of the human body, its origin, development patterns relative to function and the external environment.
    • Focuses on macro and microscopic structure details and cellular organization.
    • Categorization accounts for individual sexual and constitutional features, such as height.

    Anatomy (Subspecialties)

    • Gross or Macroscopic:
      • Regional: Study of structures in a specific region (e.g., abdomen)
      • Systemic: Study of a specific body system
      • Surface: Study of deep structures in relationship to the surface layer (e.g., skin)
    • Microscopic:
      • Cytology: Study of cells
      • Histology: Study of tissues
    • Developmental:
      • Study of developmental changes occurring throughout life, including embryology (changes prior to birth)

    Physiology

    • Physiology is the study of normal bodily function at the cellular, tissue, organ, system and organism levels.
    • It investigates the workings of specific organ systems (e.g., renal – kidney function, neurophysiology)
    • Often focuses on the cellular and molecular levels of function and how specific systems work.

    Physiology (Subspecialties)

    • Cell physiology: Study of cell function
    • Special physiology: Study of functions of a specific organ
    • Systemic physiology: Study of system function
    • Pathophysiological physiology: Study of how diseases affect bodily functions

    Anatomy and Physiology (Subspecialties)

    • Provide broad descriptions of different fields of anatomy and physiology.
    • Include details about particular areas of specialization.

    Basic Functions of Organisms

    • Metabolism: Chemical processes within an organism.
    • Responsiveness: Sensitivity to changes in environment.
    • Movement: Motion activities.
    • Growth: Increase in size.
    • Differentiation: Development into specialized tissues.
    • Reproduction: Generation of new organisms.

    Comparative Anatomy

    • All vertebrates exhibit similar organizational patterns during their embryonic development.

    6 Levels of Organization

    • Chemical: Atoms combine to form molecules (example: DNA)
    • Cellular: Basic unit of life; contains organelles.
    • Tissue: Groups of similar cells and surrounding material.
    • Organ: Group of tissues performing a specific function.
    • System: Group of organs performing common functions.
    • Organism: All systems working together.

    An Introduction to the Organ Systems

    • Integumentary System: Skin and associated structures
    • Skeletal System: Bones and cartilage
    • Muscular System: Muscle tissue (including skeletal and smooth)
    • Nervous System: Brain, spinal cord, nerves
    • Endocrine System: Glands that secrete hormones
    • Cardiovascular System: Heart and blood vessels
    • Lymphatic System: Fluid and vessels involved in immunity
    • Respiratory System: Lungs and associated structures
    • Digestive System: GI tract and associated organs
    • Urinary System: Kidneys, bladder, and associated structures
    • Reproductive System: Gonads and associated structures

    Clinical Connection: Diagnosis of Disease

    • To differentiate between disorders using a process that includes:
      • Identifying signs and symptoms
      • Gathering a medical history
      • Conducting a physical examination
      • Using non-invasive procedures such as pulse checks.

    Basic Anatomical Terminology

    • Using standard language for body parts and functions.
    • Adherence to anatomical position.
    • Use of specialized vocabulary for relationships.

    Body Positions

    • Anatomical position: Body upright, facing forward, feet flat on the ground, arms at sides with palms facing forward.
    • Supine: Lying face up.
    • Prone: Lying face down.

    Regional Names

    • Categorizing areas of the body according to specific regions or features. Examples of regions are head, neck, and trunk.

    Directional Terms

    • Descriptors explaining one body part in relation to another (e.g., anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, lateral, medial)

    Planes and Sections

    • Sagittal: Divides into left & right sections.
      • Midsagittal: Through the midline.
      • Parasagittal: Off the midline.
    • Frontal (Coronal): Divides into front & back sections.
    • Transverse (Axial/Horizontal): Divides into top & bottom sections.
    • Oblique: Cuts or sections at an angle (other than vertical or horizontal)

    Anatomical Terms

    • Body cavities are spaces that safeguard and support internal organs.
    • The cavities include the dorsal cavity (cranial and vertebral canal), the ventral cavity (thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities).

    Thoracic and Abdominal Cavity Membranes

    • These are layers of serous membranes encompassing organs in these cavities.
      • Pleura surrounds lungs.
      • Pericardium surrounds the heart.
      • Peritoneum surrounds abdominal organs.

    Body Cavities and their Subdivisions

    • Detailed descriptions of cavities categorized by their specific structures (cranial, vertebral, thoracic, abdominal, pelvic).
    • Thoracic cavity is further divided into pleural and pericardial cavities as well as mediastinum.

    Abdominopelvic Cavity: 4 and 9 Regions

    • Subdivisions categorized by quadrant (RUQ, RLQ, LUQ, LLQ).
    • Regions further stratified into smaller sections (9 distinct areas)

    Other Cavities

    • Descriptions of specific cavities: oral, nasal, orbital, and middle ear.
    • Inclusion of synovial cavities (found in joints).

    Further Reading

    • Specific textbooks are listed to support further study and learning about detailed topics.
