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.
