Study Notes
Characteristics of Life
- Organization: Functional interrelationships between parts of an organism.
- Metabolism: Total of all chemical and physical changes sustaining life; involves energy acquisition and usage.
- Responsiveness: Ability to sense and react to environmental changes, encompassing both internal and external stimuli.
- Growth: Increase in size, either through cell enlargement or an increase in cell groups and extracellular materials.
- Development: Progressive changes from generalized forms to specialized forms, showcasing differentiation in cell structure and function.
- Reproduction: Process of forming new cells or organisms, including tissue repair and generation of new individuals.
Directional Terms
- Upper Limbs: Include the upper arm, forearm, wrist, and hand.
- Lower Limbs: Comprise the thigh, lower leg, ankle, and foot.
- Central Region: Encompasses the head, neck, and trunk.
Body Planes
- Frontal Plane: A vertical plane dividing the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
Body Cavities
-
Dorsal Body Cavity: Houses the nervous system organs.
- Cranial Cavity: Contains the brain.
- Vertebral Canal: Encloses the spinal cord.
-
Ventral Body Cavity: Contains the majority of internal organs.
- Thoracic Cavity: Upper section of the ventral cavity.
- Abdominopelvic Cavity: Lower section divided into abdominal and pelvic cavities.
Peritoneum and Peritoneal Cavity
- Visceral Peritoneum: Covers and anchors abdominal organs, with mesenteries as double layers.
- Parietal Peritoneum: Lines the inner wall of the abdominopelvic cavity.
- Peritoneal Cavity: Reduces friction between internal organs.
