    Study Notes

    Structural and Functional Organization of the Human Body

    • The human body is structured in a hierarchical manner, starting from the simplest building blocks to complex organisms.
    • This organization levels:
      • Chemical level: Involves the interaction and combining of atoms, such as hydrogen and carbon, to form molecules such as DNA, RNA, sugar, and water.
      • Cellular level: Molecules interact further to form organelles, the functional units within a cell, such as the nucleus and mitochondria.
      • Tissue level: Similar cells and surrounding tissues combine to create a tissue type, for example, smooth muscle tissue.
      • Organ level: Multiple tissue types work together to form an organ, such as the bladder, which performs specific functions.
      • Organ system level: A group of organs with a common function constitutes an organ system, for example, the urinary system, composed of kidneys, bladder, and ureters.
      • Organism level: This encompasses all the previous levels, representing a complete living being.

    Characteristics of an Organism

    • Organization: Defined relationships and interactions between an organism's parts, enabling them to perform specific functions.
    • Metabolism: The ability to use energy through chemical reactions to carry out vital functions.

    Levels of Anatomy

    • Gross anatomy (macroscopic): Studying structures without the aid of a microscope.
      • Systemic anatomy: Studying the body system by system.
      • Regional anatomy: Studying the body area by area.
    • Surface anatomy (macroscopic): Examining the external form of the body in relation to deeper structures.
    • Microscopic anatomy: Studying structures using a microscope.
      • Cytology: Study of cells.
      • Histology: Study of tissues.
    • Developmental anatomy: Analyzing structural changes throughout the lifespan.
      • From fertilization to death.
      • Most significant developmental changes occur prenatally.

    What is Physiology?

    • The science that explores the normal functions of living organisms and their parts.
    • Studies how organisms and their parts function.

    Levels of Physiology

    • Molecular: Focuses on the functions of molecules.
    • Cellular: Examines the functions of cells.
    • Systemic: Studies the functions of specific organ systems.
      • Neurophysiology: Deals with the nervous system.
      • Cardiovascular physiology: Focuses on the cardiovascular system.

    Studies of Anatomy or Physiology?

    • Measuring the electrical conductivity of the heart: Physiology.
    • Viewing cells under a microscope: Anatomy - Cytology.
    • Using a vitalograph to test lung capacity: Physiology.
    • Observing the deep interior structures of the brain: Anatomy - Gross anatomy - Regional anatomy.
    • Measuring blood pressure and heart rate after a run: Physiology.
    • Dissecting a heart: Anatomy - Gross anatomy - Systemic anatomy.
