Study Notes

Key Terms in Human Anatomy and Physiology

  • Acidosis: A condition characterized by decreased pH in body fluids, indicating an increase in acidity.

  • Alkalosis: A condition marked by increased pH in body fluids, leading to a more alkaline state.

  • Alveoli: Tiny air sacs in the lungs crucial for gas exchange, facilitating oxygen intake and carbon dioxide removal.

  • Anabolism: The metabolic process of converting simple compounds into more complex substances, contributing to tissue growth and repair.

  • Anatomical Position: A standardized stance used in anatomy where an individual stands upright, arms at sides, with eyes and palms facing forward.

  • Anatomy: The scientific study focused on the structure and organization of living organisms.

  • Anterior: A directional term referring to the front of the body or body part.

  • Avascular: Describes tissues that do not contain blood or lymph vessels, illustrating limited transport capabilities.

  • Axons: Long nerve fibers responsible for transmitting electrical impulses away from the nerve cell body, essential for neural communication.

  • Body Cavities: Hollow spaces within the body, such as the cranial, thoracic, and abdominal cavities, that house vital organs.

  • Body Plane: A flat surface that divides the body into sections, aiding in the anatomical description of locations.

  • Bursae: Small, fluid-filled sacs located around joints that act as cushions to reduce friction during movement.

  • Cartilage: A strong, flexible connective tissue that is non-vascular, providing support and structure in various body parts.

  • Catabolism: The metabolic process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy.

  • Diaphragm: A dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity, critical for respiration.

  • Distal: Refers to a position farther from the point of attachment or origin.

  • Dorsal: Pertains to the back side of the body or body part.

  • Endocrine Glands: Glands that release hormones directly into the bloodstream, regulating various bodily functions.

  • Exocrine Glands: Glands that secrete substances through ducts, such as sweat and salivary glands.

  • Frontal Plane: An imaginary line that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.

  • Gametes: Reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) involved in sexual reproduction.

  • Hemopoiesis: The process through which blood cells are produced, occurring primarily in the bone marrow.

  • Homeostasis: The body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes.

  • Hormones: Chemical messengers released by glands that influence numerous physiological processes.

  • Meninges: Protective connective tissue layers enclosing the brain and spinal cord, crucial for central nervous system protection.

  • Metabolism: The collective term for all biochemical reactions in the body, encompassing both anabolism and catabolism.

  • Mitosis: A process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, essential for growth and repair.

  • Nephron: The functional unit of the kidney, responsible for filtering blood and forming urine.

  • Neuron: The basic functional unit of the nervous system, responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body.

  • Phalanges: The bones of the fingers and toes, important for dexterity and movement.

  • Physiology: The branch of biology that studies the functions of living organisms and their parts.

  • Pituitary Gland: A master gland that secretes hormones influencing other endocrine glands' activities.

  • Prone/Pronation: Refers to a position lying face down and the movement of turning a body part to face down.

  • Proximal: Refers to a position closest to the point of attachment or origin.

  • Sagittal Plane: An anatomical plane that divides the body into right and left halves.

  • Supine/Supination: Refers to lying face up and the action of turning a body part to face up.

  • Surfactant: A substance that reduces surface tension in the alveoli, preventing collapse and aiding in respiration.

  • Synovial Fluid: A viscous fluid found in joint cavities, providing lubrication and nourishment to joints.

  • Transverse Plane: A plane that divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) parts.

  • Ventral: A term synonymous with anterior, indicating the front side of the body.

Additional Notes

  • Neurons are the functional units of the nervous system and are pivotal in carrying signals.
  • In the supine position, the individual lays face up, while prone refers to laying face down.
  • Hormone production is a vital process of anabolism, showcasing the body's complex biochemical interactions.
  • Familiarity with body planes (sagittal, frontal, transverse) is essential for understanding anatomical orientation.
