    Study Notes

    Levels of Organization

    • Atoms combine to form molecules, which make up cells at the chemical and cellular levels.
    • Tissues consist of similar types of cells and are organized into different types of tissues at the tissue level.
    • Organs are formed from multiple tissue types and operate as part of organ systems.
    • The organismal level encompasses all organ systems working together.

    Organ Systems Overview

    • Respiratory System:
      • Maintains oxygen supply and carbon dioxide removal.
      • Gaseous exchanges occur in the air sacs of the lungs.
    • Digestive System:
      • Includes mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and accessory organs.
      • Breaks down food, absorbs nutrients into the bloodstream, and eliminates waste material.

    Necessary Life Functions

    • Reproduction:
      • Cellular level: Involves new cell production for growth and repair.
      • Organismal level: Managed by the reproductive system.
    • Growth:
      • Results in increased cell or body size, regulated by hormones.

    Survival Needs

    • Nutrients:
      • Essential for energy and cell structure; includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals.
    • Oxygen:
      • Vital for chemical reactions, supplied by respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
    • Water:
      • Comprises 60-80% of body weight, vital for bodily functions and chemical reactions.
    • Normal Body Temperature:
      • Optimal at 37ºC (98.6ºF); deviations affect chemical reactions.
    • Atmospheric Pressure:
      • Necessary for effective gas exchange.

    Language of Anatomy

    • Specialized terminology clarifies position, direction, and structure to avoid misunderstandings.
    • Anatomical Position:
      • Standard position: Standing, arms at sides, palms facing forward.

    Directional Terms

    • Superior (cranial): Above or toward the head.
    • Inferior (caudal): Below or toward the feet.
    • Anterior (ventral): Front of the body.
    • Posterior (dorsal): Back of the body.
    • Medial: Toward the midline.
    • Lateral: Away from the midline.
    • Proximal: Closer to point of attachment or body trunk.
    • Distal: Farther from point of attachment or body trunk.
    • Superficial (external): Towards the body surface.
    • Deep (internal): Away from the body surface.

    Regional Terms

    • Divides the body into anatomical landmarks for reference.

    Body Cavities

    • Two main cavities:
      • Dorsal: Contains cranial (brain) and spinal (spinal cord) cavities, protected by skull and vertebrae.
      • Ventral: Contains thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities, separated by the diaphragm.

    Protection of Organs

    • Body cavities provide varying degrees of protection to the organs contained within.
