Study Notes
Course Overview
- Course title: Human Anatomy & Physiology I (BIO 223)
- Introductory focus on anatomy, physiology, biomolecules, and cell biology
Course Objectives
- Master medical terminology for each organ system's anatomy and physiology
- Understand the organizational levels of the body: chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, and organismal
- Identify structures, functions, and integration of organ systems necessary for life support
Unit 1 Learning Objectives
- Analyze the relationship between anatomy and physiology
- Explore four major organic compounds in living organisms: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
- Detail cell membrane composition and organelles
- Differentiate types of cell membrane transport mechanisms
- Investigate the relationship between organelles and cell types
- Categorize tissue types and their functions
- Identify tissue images and cellular features
Body Organization
- Chemical Level: Comprised of atoms (protons, neutrons, electrons) and molecules (bonded atoms)
- Cellular Level: Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of life
- Tissue Level: Tissues consist of similar cells working together
- Organ Level: Organs are made of two or more tissue types performing specific functions
- Organ System Level: Organ systems are groups of organs with related functions
- Organismal Level: The highest level, all organ systems function together to sustain life
Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy involves studying body structure; physiology focuses on body function
- The principle of complementarity highlights the interdependence of structure and function
Structure and Function Relationship
- Organisms' structures dictate their functions
- Study tools include biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, and physics
- Understanding anatomy and physiology aids interaction in medical contexts and informs personal health decisions
Levels of Organization Details
- Atoms: Building blocks of matter; form molecules through chemical bonds
- Macromolecules: Vital carbon-based molecules shaping life
- Cells: Independently perform life processes; organelles are functional cell substructures
- Tissues: Groups of similar cells, classified into types: nerve, muscle, epithelial, connective
- Organs: Combinations of tissues executing specific functions
- Organ Systems: Collaborative organ groups fulfilling specific bodily tasks
Life Requirements and Characteristics
- Essential supplies: water, nutrients, oxygen, heat, and pressure
- Maintenance of boundaries for internal/external separation and regulation of material movement
- Metabolism includes all biochemical reactions necessary for maintaining balance in response to needs
Body Fluid Compartments
- Most abundant body substance: water, contained within compartments
- ICF (Intracellular Fluid): Fluid found within cells
- ECF (Extracellular Fluid): Fluid outside cells, including plasma and interstitial fluid
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis maintains a constant internal environment despite external changes
