Study Notes
Structure of the Body
- From smallest to largest: cells, tissues, organs, body systems.
- These structures work together to form the body and allow it to function.
Cells
- Basic structural and functional units of the body.
- Specialized cells group together to form tissues and organs.
- Cytology is the study of cells, including their anatomy, physiology, pathology, and chemistry.
Terms Related to Cells
- Anabolism: Building up large proteins from smaller amino acid pieces.
- Catabolism: Breaking down complex nutrients into simpler substances and releasing energy.
- Cell Membrane: Surrounds and protects the cell, controlling what enters and leaves.
- Chromosomes: Rod-shaped structures in the nucleus containing DNA regions called genes.
- Cytoplasm: All the material outside the nucleus but within the cell membrane.
- DNA: Chemical found within each chromosome.
- Metabolism: All the chemical processes in a cell, including catabolism and anabolism.
Tissues
- Groups of similar cells performing the same role, with at least one unique function.
- Classified by structure and function, divided into four types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
- Histology is the study of tissues, their structure, composition, and function.
Histology
- Used during autopsies and forensic investigations to understand unexplained deaths.
- A histologist is a specialist in studying the organization of tissues at all levels.
