Study Notes
Developmental Anatomy
- Study of fertilized egg development into adult form; includes embryology (conception to 8 weeks).
- Histology examines tissues, while cytology focuses on individual cellular structures.
Homeostasis and Negative Feedback
- Body temperature regulation illustrates homeostasis through feedback mechanisms.
- Receptors send temperature data to the brain; control centers direct responses to effectors to maintain temperature.
Organ Systems
-
Integumentary System:
- Organs: Skin, hair, nails, and associated glands.
- Functions: Protection, thermoregulation, vitamin D synthesis, and sensation.
-
Skeletal System:
- Organs: Bones, cartilages, ligaments.
- Functions: Support, movement, blood formation, and mineral storage.
-
Muscular System:
- Organs: Skeletal muscles.
- Functions: Movement, stability, communication, and heat production.
-
Lymphatic System:
- Organs: Lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, spleen.
- Functions: Fluid recovery, pathogen detection, and immune response.
-
Respiratory System:
- Organs: Lungs, trachea, bronchi.
- Functions: Oxygen absorption, carbon dioxide discharge, and speech.
-
Urinary System:
- Organs: Kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra.
- Functions: Waste elimination, blood volume regulation, and detoxification.
-
Nervous System:
- Organs: Brain, spinal cord, nerves.
- Functions: Rapid communication, coordination, and sensation.
-
Endocrine System:
- Organs: Glands like the pituitary, thyroid, and pancreas.
- Functions: Hormone production and regulation of internal chemical communication.
-
Circulatory System:
- Organs: Heart and blood vessels.
- Functions: Distribution of nutrients, hormones, and waste products.
Body Cavities
- Major cavities: Cranial, vertebral, thoracic (including pleural and pericardial), and abdominopelvic.
Serous Membranes
- Composed of parietal and visceral layers surrounding organs; provide protection and reduce friction.
Abdominopelvic Quadrants and Regions
- Quadrants: Right upper, left upper, right lower, left lower.
- Regions: Hypochondriac, epigastric, lumbar, umbilical, hypogastric, inguinal.
Clinical Use
- Relevant conditions include cholecystitis, gastritis, pancreatitis, appendicitis, and inflammatory bowel disease among others.
- Understand the clinical significance of various abdominal pathologies based on anatomical regions.
Anatomical Variation
- Recognizes diversity in anatomical structures among individuals, the importance of accurate identification in clinical settings.
