Brain function
Brain function
The brain is responsible for controlling and coordinating all bodily functions, including movement, thought, and emotion. It acts as the central command center of the body.
Spinal cord function
Spinal cord function
The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that extends from the brain down the back. It acts as a conduit for signals between the brain and the rest of the body.
Reproductive Organs
Reproductive Organs
The reproductive organs are responsible for the production of sex cells (sperm and egg) and hormones related to sexual development.

Study Notes
Human Anatomy and Physiology
- Definition: The study of the structure and functions of the human body.
- Anatomy: The study of the structure of the human body.
- Physiology: The study of the functions of the human body.
- Scope: Includes the study of human structure, function, normal parameters, health factors, human evolution and development, disease pathologies and surgical techniques.
- Levels of Structural Organization:
- Molecular level: Atoms joining to form molecules.
- Cellular level: Basic structural and functional unit (cells).
- Tissue level: Groups of similar cells with a specific function.
- Organ level: Different tissues combining to form organs.
- Organ system level: Systems where groups of organs work together to perform their specific functions.
- Organism level: The complete, fully functional individual.
Body Systems
- Nervous system: Coordinates voluntary and involuntary actions, signal processing.
- Respiratory system: Involved in respiration (oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange).
- Cardiovascular system: Circulates blood, carries oxygen, nutrients, and removes waste.
- Digestive system: Breaks down food, absorbs nutrients.
- Urinary system: Filters blood, removes waste.
- Reproductive system: Involved in producing offspring.
- Integumentary system: Skin, its role in protection.
- Muscular system: Responsible for movement.
- Skeletal system: Provides structure, protection for organs.
- Lymphatic system: Immune function.
- Endocrine system: Hormones and their regulatory role.
Basic Life Processes
- Metabolism: Sum of chemical reactions in the body; anabolism (building) and catabolism (breakdown).
- Responsiveness: Ability to detect and respond to changes.
- Movement: Motions of the whole body or its parts.
- Growth: Increasing body size and development.
- Differentiation: Transforming unspecialized cells into specialized cells.
- Reproduction: Producing offspring, creating new cells.
- Respiration: Gas exchange.
- Digestion: Breakdown of food for absorption.
- Excretion: Removal of waste products.
Homeostasis
- Definition: Maintaining a stable internal environment despite external changes.
- Mechanism: Includes receptors, control centers, and effectors working together to maintain balance.
- Negative feedback: System reverses a change to maintain homeostasis (e.g., body temperature regulation).
- Positive feedback: System amplifies a change to accelerate a process (e.g., childbirth).
Anatomical Terminology
- Directional terms: Superior/inferior, anterior/posterior, medial/lateral, etc., define positions in the body.
- Sectional planes: Sagittal, transverse, coronal planes divide the body into sections.
- Body cavities: Thoracic, abdominal, pelvic cavities house internal organs.
