Study Notes

Introduction to Human Anatomy 7101101

The course covers human anatomy, including its definition, main approaches, and the systems of the human body.
Lecture 1 includes introduction to the course, approaches to studying anatomy (regional, systemic, clinical), and systems of the human body.
A course outline provides a schedule of topics, including weeks 1-5 with their assigned hours. Week 6-11 also has specified hours.
The topics in the course outline range from human anatomy definition and approaches to studying anatomy, anatomical terminology, integumentary system, fascial compartments, to the musculoskeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urinary, genital and endocrine systems.
Medical imaging and its applications are part of the curriculum.
The course includes a midterm exam and a final exam.

Course Policies

Class attendance is mandatory and must be on time.
Active individual participation and adherence to standard academic behavior are expected.
Grading information outlines the percentage of coursework marks assigned to each tool. (midterm, activities/project/quizzes).

References

Theoretical reference includes "Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy" (introduction chapter only).
Other references include specialized books, reputable scientific journals, and published literature.
Supplementary materials for the course include illustrative diagrams, figures, anatomical models (skeletons), and educational videos.

Levels of Organization of the Human Body

The human body is composed of multiple parts that can be studied at various levels of organization.
Chemicals: atoms (simplest level), molecules, macromolecules (large, biologically important molecules within cells).
Organelles: aggregates of macromolecules in cells, performing specific cellular functions.
Cells: basic units of structure and function in living organisms.
Tissues: groups of cells with similar functions.
Organs: groups of tissues with specialized functions.
Organ systems: groups of organs that work together to fulfill specific functions.
Organism: an individual composed of organ systems working together.

Anatomy Definition

Anatomy is the branch of science that investigates the structure of humans, animals and other living organisms, often using dissection to reveal their parts.
Anatomy can be microscopic, examining small structures under a microscope (e.g., cells, tissues) or macroscopic dealing with larger structures without magnification. Cytology studies cells and histology studies tissues.
Anatomy is often categorized as regional, systemic, and clinical to describe different approaches to studying the body.

Approaches to Studying Human Anatomy

Human gross anatomy can be studied through three major approaches:
- Regional: Studying the arrangement and relationships of structures within specific body areas.
- Systemic: Investigating organ systems and their structures.
- Clinical: Understanding anatomical structures associated with medical practice, diagnosis, and treatment.
Surface anatomy involves identifying superficial structures detectable by sight or touch.
Physical examination includes palpation, auscultation, percussion, and inspection to evaluate the body.
Radiographic imaging and endoscopy are useful methods to examine deep structures.
Pro-sections and dissection provide careful observation of anatomical structures.

Hippocrates Quotation

"The nature of the body is the beginning of medical sciences" (Hippocrates 460-377 BC). This quote highlights the importance of understanding the human body's nature to develop medical sciences.

Systems of the Human Body

The course outlined different organ systems. The course covered (but not exhaustively) the integumentary system, skeletal system, articular system, muscular system, nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, urinary system, genital (reproductive) system, and endocrine system.
