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.
