Study Notes
Abdominal Organs in Dissection
- Dissections of a rat and human cadaver provide insights into abdominal anatomy, with structures labeled for learning purposes.
- Cecum: The first part of the large intestine, located at the posterior abdominal wall.
- Kidneys: Bean-shaped, retroperitoneal organs (located behind the peritoneum) responsible for waste filtration.
- Rectum: End segment of the large intestine leading to the anus, also covered partially by the urinary bladder.
- Adrenal glands: Endocrine glands positioned atop each kidney, vital for metabolic regulation.
- Anus: The digestive tract's external opening found at the end of the anal canal.
Organ Systems Overview
- The human body comprises 11 organ systems, each with specific functions and major organs.
- Human organ systems work collectively to maintain homeostasis and support physiological functions.
- Cells are the basic unit of life, organized into four primary tissue types: epithelial, muscular, nervous, and connective.
- Tissues consist of similar cell types working together, while organs are structures made of multiple tissue types for specific functions.
- Organ systems are composed of groups of organs collaborating to execute vital body processes (e.g., digestive system).
Dissection Techniques and Tools
- Preparation involves using various tools such as scissors, forceps, and dissecting pins to explore anatomical structures.
- The diaphragm separates thoracic and abdominal cavities, accessible through lateral cuts and careful handling.
- Key structures identified within the thoracic cavity include:
- Esophagus: Connects pharynx to stomach, vital for food transportation.
- Heart: Enclosed in pericardium, responsible for circulation.
- Lungs: Flank the heart, essential for respiration.
- Trachea: The windpipe leading to the bronchi, part of the respiratory system.
Examination of the Ventral Body Cavity
- Start from superficial to deep structures when examining the thoracic cavity, referencing visual aids.
- Identification of key organs follows sequentially from digestive and respiratory systems, highlighting interconnections.
- Observations include the path of the digestive tract from stomach to intestines, encompassing small and large intestines ending at the anus.
