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.
