    Study Notes

    Homeostasis and Anatomical Terms: Key Concepts in Human Biology

    • Homeostasis is disrupted by external stimuli like intense heat, cold, and lack of oxygen, as well as internal stimuli like psychological stresses and exercise.
    • Homeostasis involves receptors, a control center, and effectors, and can be maintained through feedforward and feedback systems.
    • Feedback systems include negative and positive feedback loops, with negative feedback being more prevalent in the body.
    • Anatomical terminology, such as directional terms and regional terms, allows accurate description of body parts and positions.
    • The body is divided into axial and appendicular parts, with regional terms used to designate specific areas within these divisions.
    • Body planes, including sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes, are used for anatomical studies and imaging.
    • The dorsal body cavity has two subdivisions, the cranial cavity and the vertebral cavity, protecting the nervous system organs.
    • The ventral body cavity, larger and anterior, includes the thoracic cavity and the abdominopelvic cavity, housing internal organs.
    • The thoracic cavity contains the lungs, heart, and other thoracic organs, while the abdominopelvic cavity contains the stomach, intestines, and other organs.
    • The abdominopelvic cavity is not physically separated into abdominal and pelvic cavities and is lined by a serous membrane.
    • The bowl-shaped pelvis tips away from the perpendicular, causing the abdominal and pelvic cavities to be misaligned.
    • The serous membrane covers the walls of the ventral body cavity and the outer surfaces of the organs it contains, including the heart.

    Endocrine Glands and Exocrine Glands

    • Endocrine glands release hormones into the blood or lymphatic fluid to prompt specific target organs to respond.
    • Endocrine glands are structurally diverse and their secretions range from modified amino acids to steroids.
    • Exocrine glands release their products onto body surfaces or into body cavities through unicellular or multicellular glands.
    • Glandular epithelia can be simple or compound and are further categorized by their secretory units as tubular, alveolar, or tubuloalveolar.
    • Merocrine glands secrete products by exocytosis, while holocrine glands accumulate products until they rupture.
    • Sebaceous (oil) glands are the only true example of holocrine glands.
    • Connective tissue is the most abundant and widely distributed tissue in the body.
    • There are four main classes of connective tissue: connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, and blood.
    • Connective tissue functions include binding and supporting, protecting, insulating, storing reserve fuel, and transporting substances within the body.
    • Connective tissues consist largely of nonliving extracellular matrix, which separates the living cells of the tissue.
    • All connective tissues arise from mesenchyme, an embryonic tissue.
    • Connective tissues have three main components: ground substance, fibers, and cells. Ground substance has interstitial fluid, cell adhesion proteins, and proteoglycans.
