    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.
    • 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.

    Cells

    • Cells are structural and functional units of the body
    • Cells are specialized and grouped to form tissues and organs
    • Cytology is the study of the anatomy, physiology, pathology, and chemistry of the cell
    • Anabolism is the process of building up large proteins from smaller protein pieces called amino acids
    • Catabolism is the process where complex nutrients are broken down into simpler substances, releasing energy
    • Cell membrane surrounds and protects the cell, determining what enters and leaves
    • Chromosomes are rod-shaped structures in the nucleus that contain DNA regions called genes
    • Cytoplasm is all material outside the nucleus but inside the cell membrane
    • DNA is a chemical found within each chromosome
    • Metabolism is the total of chemical processes in a cell, including catabolism and anabolism

    Tissues

    • Tissues are groups of similar cells that perform the same role
    • Each tissue has at least one unique function
    • Tissues are classified by structure and function, and are divided into four types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
    • Histology is the study of the structure, composition, and function of tissues
    • Histology is used during autopsies and forensic investigations to understand unexplained deaths
    • A histologist is a specialist in the study of the organization of tissues at all levels
