    Study Notes

    Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology

    • Chapter 1 introduces the structure and function of the human body, and how its systems work together.
    • Key topics include: levels of structural organization, human body systems, characteristics of living organisms, requirements for life, homeostasis, anatomical terminology, body cavities, and imaging techniques.

    Anatomy

    • Anatomy is the study of the body's structures.
    • It includes: where structures are located, what they look like, and what they are called.

    Physiology

    • Physiology is the study of the body's functions.
    • It examines what structures do, why they do it, and how they do it.
    • Structure dictates function.

    Approaches to Studying Anatomy

    • Gross anatomy (macroscopic anatomy): examines large, visible structures
      • Surface anatomy: studies exterior features and markings
      • Regional anatomy: examines body areas
      • Sectional anatomy: examines cross sections
      • Systemic anatomy: focuses on individual organ systems
      • Clinical anatomy: medical specialties
      • Developmental anatomy: from conception to adulthood, including embryology
    • Microscopic anatomy: examines cells and molecules using a microscope
      • Cytology: study of cells
      • Histology: study of tissues

    Approaches to Studying Physiology

    • Cell physiology: functions of organelles and cells
    • Organ physiology: functions of specific organs
    • Systemic physiology: functions of organ systems
    • Pathological physiology: effects of diseases on organs or systems

    Characteristics of Living Organisms

    • Organization: Life is organized at various levels (chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism)
    • Metabolism: The chemical reactions in cells that generate energy and allow growth and repair. Includes catabolism (breaking down molecules) and anabolism (building molecules).
    • Responsiveness to Stimuli: The ability to respond to changes in internal and external environments (e.g., reflex actions, sensory responses).
    • Movement: Includes movement within the body (e.g., blood flow, food movement through digestive system) and movement of the organism as a whole.
    • Growth and Development: Organisms grow (increase in size) and develop (change in structure and function over time).
    • Reproduction: The ability to produce offspring, ensuring the continuation of the species.
    • Homeostasis: Maintaining a stable internal environment despite external changes.

    Organization of the Body

    • The body is organized hierarchically from simple to complex.
    • The levels are: Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, and Organismal.

    Organ Systems

    • There are 11 organ systems (R U N MRS LIDEC)
      • Respiratory
      • Urinary
      • Nervous
      • Reproductive
      • Integumentary
      • Muscular
      • Lymphatic
      • Digestive
      • Endocrine
      • Cardiovascular
      • Skeletal

    Medical Imaging Techniques

    • X-Ray: Uses radiation to create images of the inside of the body; most commonly used for visualizing bones (cheap, fast, good for bones/teeth but not detailed).
    • CT Scan (Computed Tomography): Combines X-ray images taken from different angles to create cross-sectional images of the body (detailed imaging, useful for soft tissues - more radiation).
    • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of organs and soft tissues without radiation (expensive, uncomfortable patient experience, but great for finding tumors).
    • Ultrasound: Uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs and tissues inside the body (non-invasive and widely used in pregnancy assessment) (image quality depends on techincian skill).
    • PET Scan (Positron Emission Tomography): Uses a radioactive substance to visualize metabolic activity and functional processes inside the body (can visualize live metabolic activity).
    • Endoscopy: Uses a flexible tube with a camera to visualize the inside of hollow organs (commonly used for gastrointestinal procedures).

    Body Cavities

    • Body cavities are spaces within the body that house and protect internal organs.
    • There are dorsal (spinal, cranial) and ventral (thoracic, abdominopelvic) cavities, subdivided into smaller cavities.
    • Serous membranes line these cavities and cover organs to reduce friction.

    Sectional Planes

    • Sectional planes are two-dimensional slices through a three-dimensional body to visualize internal organization.
    • Key planes include frontal (coronal), sagittal (midsagittal, parasagittal), and transverse.

    Homeostasis

    • Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment (temperature, blood pressure, pH, glucose) despite external changes.
    • Homeostatic mechanisms use negative and positive feedback to regulate conditions.
    • Negative feedback maintains a set point, while positive feedback amplifies change.
