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.
