    Study Notes

    Abdominal Regions and Associated Organs

    • Hypogastric Region: contains bladder, sigmoid colon, small intestine, reproductive organs.
    • Right Hypochondriac Region: includes liver, right kidney, gallbladder, portions of the large and small intestines.
    • Epigastric Region: houses liver, stomach, spleen, duodenum, adrenal glands, pancreas.
    • Left Hypochondriac Region: contains liver’s tip, stomach, pancreas, left kidney, spleen.
    • Right Lumbar Region: features ascending colon, small intestine, right kidney.
    • Umbilical Region: encompasses duodenum, small intestine, transverse colon.
    • Left Lumbar Region: made up of descending colon, small intestine, left kidney.
    • Left Iliac Region: includes sigmoid colon, descending colon, and small intestine.

    Types of Movements

    • Abduction: movement away from the midline, including separating fingers or toes.
    • Adduction: movement toward the body's midline; fingers or toes drawn closer together.
    • Circumduction: cone-shaped path, combining abduction, adduction, extension, and flexion.

    Major Divisions of Gross Anatomy

    • Surface Anatomy: examines surface forms and marks.
    • Regional Anatomy: focuses on specific body areas such as the head or hand.
    • Systematic Anatomy: studies organ groups working together, like the digestive system.
    • Developmental Anatomy: investigates structural changes from fertilization to maturity.
    • Clinical Anatomy: entails medical specialties focused on anatomical changes due to illness.

    Major Divisions of Microscopic Anatomy

    • Cytology: study of cells.
    • Histology: examination of tissues.

    Anatomical Body Landmarks

    • Anterior: front of the body.
    • Posterior: back of the body.
    • Superior: above.
    • Inferior: below.
    • Lateral: away from the midline.
    • Medial: toward the midline.
    • Deep: internal, away from the surface.
    • Superficial: near the external surface.
    • Proximal: near the midline; Distal: away from the midline.

    Body Positioning

    • Anatomical Position: body standing erect, face forward, arms at the sides, palms forward.
    • Prone: lying face down.
    • Supine: lying face up.

    Physiological Divisions

    • Cell Physiology: processes within the cell.
    • Special Physiology: organ-specific functions.
    • Systematic Physiology: cooperative functions across organ systems.
    • Pathological Physiology: effects of diseases on bodily functions.

    Vital Signs/Cardinal Signs

    • Respiration Rate: 12-20 breaths per minute.
    • Normal Temperature: 37.5°C.
    • Pulse Rate: 80-100 bpm in adults; 115-130 bpm in infants.
    • Blood Pressure: standard is 120/80.

    Homeostasis

    • Foundation of all physiology, maintaining normal equilibrium.
    • Malfunction results in disease; body systems must operate within normal ranges.

    Mechanisms Regulating Homeostasis

    • Autoregulation: intrinsic response to environmental changes.

    Cell Anatomy

    • Cell membrane: thin, selectively permeable, composed of lipid and protein molecules.
    • Cytoplasm: the area housing organelles, where metabolic reactions occur.
    • Organelles: specialized subunits within a cell performing specific functions.

    Cell Structure Components

    • Endoplasmic Reticulum: a network of membranes and canals engaged in transporting materials within the cell.
