Study Notes
Risk Assessment and Workshop Overview
- No immediate risks associated with the workshop allowing students and tutors to forgo safety glasses or laboratory coats.
- For safety and health guidelines, refer to Curtin University’s health and safety resources.
Understanding Life
- Non-human items categorized as living, dead, or never living to explore the concept of life and death.
- Examples include a green salad (dead), an active wasp nest (living), a penguin (living), a bunch of red roses (dead), an airborne virus (living), and an iPhone (never living).
Characteristics of Life
- Six main characteristics common to all living organisms:
- Organisation
- Metabolism
- Responsiveness
- Growth
- Development (differentiation and morphogenesis)
- Reproduction
Levels of Organization in the Human Body
- Six levels of organization with examples:
- Chemical: DNA, RNA, protein
- Cell: Smooth muscle cell, red blood cell
- Tissue: Nervous, connective
- Organ: Lung, brain
- Organ system: Respiratory, cardiovascular
- Organism: Human, elephant
Interaction with Health Professionals
- Diverse backgrounds among tutors in health science professions aid learning through varying perspectives.
- Potential roles for health professionals in patient care include:
- Radiographers, paramedics, therapists, phlebotomists, nurses, various specialists (e.g., ENT surgeons, GP, anaesthetist).
- Health professionals not involved in specific care: Mortuary attendants, gynaecologists, oncologists.
Homeostasis
- Disturbances categorized as minor or major:
- Minor disturbances are easily recoverable (e.g., temperature regulation).
- Major disturbances may require medical intervention and may not return to normal (e.g., severe blood loss).
Trunk Cavities and Division
- Three main cavities of the trunk:
- Thoracic cavity
- Abdominal cavity
- Pelvic cavity
- Diaphragm separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
- Mediastinum divides the thoracic cavity and contains major structures like the heart and trachea.
- Abdominopelvic cavity includes:
- Abdominal: Enclosed by abdominal muscles, houses stomach, intestines, liver.
- Pelvic: Enclosed by pelvic bones, contains urinary bladder and reproductive organs.
Body Orientation and Slicing Techniques
- Standard planes used in anatomy include:
- Frontal plane
- Transverse (horizontal) plane
- Tools available for measuring organ sizes and visualizing spatial arrangements within the body.
- Instructions to orient cadaver images and sectioning to analyze internal organs and features.
Observational Exercise
- Engage in exercises to section through cadaver images at various planes for anatomical study.
- Draw or describe organs/features visible in specific slices, noting their anatomical positions.
