Study Notes
C145 - Terminology and Anatomical Positions
- Anatomy studies body structure
- Physiology studies how body parts interact
- Structure and function complement one another
- Examples include red blood cells and pectus excavatum
- Anatomical position: Standing erect, palms forward, feet flat. Reference point for directions and regions.
Anatomical Regions
- Axial region: Core of the body, excluding limbs
- Cephalic (head), Cervical (neck), Thoracic (chest), Abdominal (belly), Pelvic (hip), Pubic (groin), and Nuchal (back of neck)
- Appendicular region: Limbs
- Axillary (armpit), Brachial (upper arm), Antecubital (front of elbow), Antebrachial (forearm), Carpal (wrist), Palmar (palm), Pollex (thumb), Digital/Phalangeal (fingers), Femoral (thigh)
C146 Body Cavities, Planes, and Sections
- Body cavities protect internal organs
- Dorsal cavity (cranial and vertebral): Houses the brain and spinal cord
- Cranial cavity holds the brain
- Vertebral cavity holds the spinal cord
- Ventral Cavity (thoracic and abdominopelvic): Houses digestive system, heart and lungs etc.
- Thoracic cavity (pericardial and pleural cavities): Contains heart (pericardial), lungs (pleural), trachea, esophagus and heart
- Abdominopelvic cavity (abdominal and pelvic cavities): Contains digestive organs, urinary bladder, reproductive organs
- Body cavities are subdivided by location of organs within
- Serous membranes line cavities, lubricated by serous fluid
- Four abdominopelvic quadrants: Right upper, Left upper, Right lower, Left lower
- Nine abdominopelvic regions: Right hypochondriac, Epigastric, Left hypochondriac, Right lumbar, Umbilical, Left lumbar, Right iliac (inguinal), Hypogastric (pubic), Left iliac (inguinal).
- Body planes (transverse, frontal, sagittal) divide the body.
C147 Levels of Organization and Organ Systems
- Levels of organization from smallest to largest: atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism
- Overview of organ systems: Each has general functions
- 11 organ systems (e.g., integumentary, skeletal, muscular).
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis: Maintaining constant internal environment
- Set point: Average acceptable value for a variable
- Components of feedback mechanisms:
- Sensors (receptors): Monitor and detect changes
- Control center: Determines the set point and creates a response
- Effectors: Carry out the response
- Negative feedback mechanisms reduce or counteract the initial stimulus
- Positive feedback mechanisms enhance the initial stimulus.
C148 Chemistry and Introduction - Atoms, Bonds, and Inorganic Compounds
- Element: Simplest form of matter, unique chemical properties, Atoms: Smallest unit of an element with element properties
- Atomic structure: Protons (+), neutrons (0), electrons (-)
- Nucleus: Location of protons and neutrons
- Electrons: Orbit the nucleus
- Atomic number: Number of protons
- Mass number: Protons + neutrons
- Isotopes: Atoms with same number of protons, different number of neutrons
- Ions: Atom or molecule with electrical charge due to imbalance of protons and electrons ( Cations +/ Anions -)
- Electrolytes: Ions that dissolve in water
- Chemical bonding involves interactions between atoms to create molecules (ionic bonds, covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds)
- Mixture- homogenous or hetrogenous,
- Solutions- homogenous
- Solute: dissolved substance
- Solvent: dissolving substance
- Water properties: ability to dissolve substances, cohesion (water attraction), adhesion (stick to other surfaces)
- Salts- dissolve in water
- Acids and bases: Substances that increase or reduce H+ concentration in a solution
- pH: Measures H+ concentration
- Buffers: resist drastic changes in pH
C149 Organic Chemistry - Carbon and Functional Groups
- Organic chemistry: Study of carbon-based molecules
- Carbon's ability to form four covalent bonds is essential for complex molecules. This gives rise to functional groups (groups within the molecule which gives the compound certain properties or ways the molecule can react) which determine properties. Examples include alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines, and esters.
- Organic molecules: Molecules produced by living organisms (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids)
C149 - Organic Chemistry - Carbohydrates
- Monomers: Monosaccharides (glucose, fructose, galactose)
- Functions: Energy source, structural component
- Disaccharides: Two monosaccharides joined together (sucrose, lactose, maltose)
- Polysaccharides: Many monosaccharides linked together (starch, cellulose, glycogen).
C149 - Organic Chemistry - Lipids
- Monomers: Fatty acids and glycerol
- Function: Long-term energy storage, structural component
- Types: Saturated fatty acids (single bonds), Unsaturated fatty acids (double bonds), Triglycerides (fat molecules made up of glycerol and 3 fatty acids) and sterols (e.g. Cholesterol, hormones testosterone)
- Lipid Properties: insoluble in water.
C149 - Organic Chemistry - Nucleic Acids
- Monomers: Nucleotides (composed of a nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon sugar [deoxyribose or ribose], and a phosphate group)
- Types: DNA and RNA
- Function: Store and transmit genetic information
- DNA structure: Double helix, A-T, G-C base pairing.
- RNA structure: Single-stranded, A-U, G-C base pairing.
C149 - Organic Chemistry - Proteins
- Monomers: Amino acids (20 different types)
- Structure: Primary (sequence), Secondary (alpha helix, beta-sheet), Tertiary (3-D folded structure), and Quaternary (multiple polypeptide chains interacting).
- Functions: Wide range of functions including enzymatic activity, structural support, transportation, defense and movement.
- Complete vs Incomplete proteins: Complete proteins contain all essential amino acids, while incomplete proteins do not.
