Study Notes

Growth and Regeneration of Muscle, Myocardial Hypertrophy & Infarction, and Smooth Muscle Hyperplasia

Muscle growth and regeneration: Topics included in the course.
Myocardial hypertrophy: A subject of study.
Myocardial infarction: A subject of study.
Smooth muscle hyperplasia and hypertrophy: Subjects of study.

Circulatory System, Autonomic Nervous System, and Medical Imaging

Circulatory system: Definitions and classifications are covered in a 4-hour session (weeks 12 & 13).
Autonomic nervous system: Part of the circulatory system curriculum.
Medical imaging (2-hour session, week 16): Includes radiographic techniques, film reading, and anatomical diagram interpretation.

Levels of Organization, Cells, and Physical Examination

Levels of organization of the human body: A course topic.
Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.
Physical examination uses palpation, auscultation, percussion, and inspection.
Palpation of arterial pulses is an example of physical examination.

Regional Anatomy: Surface Anatomy, Radiographic Imaging, and Endoscopy

Surface anatomy: Provides information on structures visible or palpable under the skin.
Physical examination is an application of surface anatomy.
Radiographic and sectional imaging: Shows deep structures in living individuals.
Endoscopy uses a flexible fiber optic device to examine internal structures.

Regional Anatomy: Diagnostic Radiology, Prosetions, and Dissection

Diagnostic radiology: Shows how trauma, pathology, and aging affect normal structures.
Prosetions: Carefully prepared dissections by experienced anatomists for demonstration.
Dissection: A hands-on learning method.

Systemic Anatomy

Systemic anatomy: Studies organ systems and their collaborative functions.

The Integumentary System (Dermatology)

The integumentary system consists of the skin.

The Nervous System (Neurology)

The nervous system includes the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves, ganglia, motor and sensory endings).

The Circulatory System (Angiology)

The circulatory system comprises the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems; they work together to transport body fluids.
