    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure and Principles

    • Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
    • Atoms are very small and composed of even smaller particles.

    Molecules

    • A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together.
    • Molecules are the smallest units of a pure substance that retain the substance's chemical properties.

    Macromolecules

    • A macromolecule is a large molecule.
    • Macromolecules are essential for biological processes, such as proteins and nucleic acids.
    • They are formed by thousands of covalently bonded atoms.

    Organelles

    • An organelle is a subcellular structure within a cell.
    • Organelles perform specific tasks within the cell.

    Cells

    • A cell is the smallest, basic unit of life.
    • Cells are responsible for all life processes.
    • Cells are the structural, functional, and biological units of all living beings.
    • Cells can replicate themselves independently.

    Tissues

    • Tissues are groups of similar cells that perform a specific function.
    • Tissues form the building blocks of organs.
    • The word "tissue" originates from the French word for "to weave".

    Organs

    • An organ is a collection of tissues that work together to perform a specific function.
    • Organs are structurally organized.
    • "Organum" in Latin means an instrument or tool.

    Organ Systems

    • An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a complex function.
    • Examples of organ systems include the circulatory system, respiratory system, and digestive system.

    Organisms

    • An organism is a living thing with an organised structure.
    • Organisms can react to stimuli, reproduce, grow, adapt, and maintain homeostasis.
    • Organisms include animals, plants, fungi, protists, bacteria, and archaea.

    Anatomy

    • Anatomy is the study of the structure of organisms and the relationship between their parts.
    • This includes surface anatomy, radiographic anatomy, and pathological anatomy.
    • Surface anatomy studies visible landmarks on the body.
    • Radiographic anatomy studies structures visible with X-rays.
    • Pathological anatomy studies structural changes associated with diseases.

    Physiology

    • Physiology is the science of body functions.
    • It studies how body parts work.
    • Examples of specialized areas of physiology include neurophysiology, endocrinology, and other sub-fields.

    Integumentary System

    • This system forms the outermost layer of an animal's body.
    • It includes skin and its appendages.
    • It acts as a physical barrier between the external and internal environments.
    • It protects and maintains the body.

    Skeletal System

    • This system provides the framework for the body.
    • It consists of bones and connective tissues.
    • It supports and protects the internal organs and tissues.

    Muscular System

    • This system consists of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles.

    Nervous System

    • This complex system coordinates actions and sensory information in animals.
    • It transmits signals to and from different parts of the body.

    Cardiovascular System

    • Also known as the circulatory system, this system involves the heart and blood vessels.
    • It is responsible for pumping blood and transporting substances throughout the body.

    Lymphatic System

    • This system includes vessels, nodes, and ducts.
    • It passes through almost all body tissues.

    Respiratory System

    • This system consists of organs and structures used for breathing.

    Digestive System

    • Takes in and breaks down food for energy, growth, and tissue repair.

    Urinary System

    • This system filters blood, removing waste and excess water.
    • This involves organs like the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.

    Reproductive System

    • This system includes tissues, glands, and organs involved in offspring production.

    Body Cavities

    • Body cavities are fluid-filled spaces inside the body.
    • They hold and protect internal organs.
    • These include thoracic, cranial, ventral (including abdominopelvic), and other cavities.

    Membranes

    • Parietal membranes line body cavities.
    • Visceral membranes cover organs within the cavities.
