    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.
