Study Notes
General Human Anatomy & Physiology-I
- Objective: To teach basic gross, functional and applied anatomy, focusing on organ position, orientation, and relationships.
Unit 1: Introduction to Human Body
- A) Introduction to Human Anatomy & Physiology: Covers terminology, body plan, body parts, and directional terms.
- B) Levels of Structural Organization: Details body cavities, membranes, planes and sections, and fundamental life processes (homeostasis).
Unit 2: Cellular Level of Organization
- Introduction to Cytology: Explores cell structure, function, location, prokaryotic/eukaryotic cells, organelles, and cell division.
- Cell Physiology: Discusses cell communication, membrane transport (active/passive), and processes like osmosis and diffusion.
Unit 3: Tissue Level of Organization
- Introduction to Histology: Introduces tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscle, nerve, and glandular), their structure, location, and function.
- Integumentary System: Explores skin structure, function, and the subcutaneous tissue, and related glands.
Unit 4: Introduction to Body Fluids
- Body Fluids: Examines blood composition, function, hematological disorders, and blood grouping.
- Lymphatic System: Covers lymphatic organs, tissues, vessels, lymph, circulation, and lymphatic system functions.
