    Study Notes

    Organization of the Body

    • The body is organized in structural levels:
      • Cells: The basic unit of life
      • Tissues: Groups of similar cells working together
      • Organs: Structures composed of different tissues performing specific functions
      • Systems: Groups of organs working together to perform a comprehensive function
      • Organism: The complete living being, resulting from all the systems working together

    Cells

    • Common components include:
      • Cell membrane: Regulates the passage of substances in and out of cells
      • Nucleus: Controls cell activities
      • Mitochondria: Generates energy for the cell (powerhouse)
      • Cytoplasm: The watery fluid surrounding the nucleus that contains organelles

    Tissues

    • Tissues are formed from groupings of similar cells
    • Four main tissue types:
      • Muscle tissue: Enables movement
      • Connective tissue: Supports and connects other tissues
      • Nerve tissue: Transmits nerve impulses
      • Epithelial tissue: Covers and lines body surfaces

    Organs

    • Organs are structures composed of different tissues, performing specialized functions
    • Examples include the brain, stomach, and heart

    Systems

    • Systems are groups of organs working together to perform a comprehensive function
    • Each system has a specific purpose

    Anatomic Position

    • Body is erect, facing forward
    • Palms face forward, arms at sides
    • Left and right are determined from the subject's perspective, not the observer's perspective

    Directional Terms

    • Superior (cranial/cephalic): Toward the head
    • Inferior (caudal): Away from the head
    • Anterior (ventral): Toward the front of the body
    • Posterior (dorsal): Toward the back of the body
    • Medial: Toward the midline of the body
    • Lateral: Away from the midline of the body
    • Proximal: Closer to the point of attachment
    • Distal: Farther from the point of attachment
    • Supine: Lying face up
    • Prone: Lying face down

    Body Planes

    • Transverse (horizontal) plane: Divides the body into top and bottom portions
    • Frontal (coronal) plane: Divides the body into front and back portions
    • Sagittal plane: Divides the body into left and right portions

    Body Cavities and Divisions

    • Cranial cavity: Encloses the brain
    • Spinal cavity: Houses the spinal cord
    • Thoracic cavity: Contains the heart and lungs
    • Abdominopelvic cavity: Divided into abdominal and pelvic cavities, housing digestive organs and reproductive organs respectively

    Regions of the Spinal Column

    • Cervical: The neck region
    • Thoracic: The chest region
    • Lumbar: The lower back region
    • Sacrum: The fused vertebrae of the pelvis
    • Coccyx: The tailbone
