Study Notes
Anatomy Notes
- Anatomy is the science concerned with the physical structure of the organism.
- Histology is the study of tissues.
- Pathology is the study of disease state and abnormal tissues.
- The human body is classified as Domain Eukarya, Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Mammalia, Order Primates, Genus Homo, Species sapiens.
- The human brain weighs approximately 1350-1400 grams.
- Anatomical characteristics include bipedal locomotion, sigmoid curvature of the spine, and well-developed vocal structures.
- The human body is organized into cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
- Levels of organization refer to cellular level, tissue level, organ level and system level, each with a specific function.
- Cells are the basic structural and functional units of life.
- Organelles are specialized structures within the cell, each performing a specific function within the cell.
- Tissues are groups of similar cells that perform a common function.
- Organs are formed by the combination of two or more tissue types to perform a certain function.
- Organ systems are groups of organs that work together to perform related functions.
