Study Notes
Organ Systems and Their Functions
- Lymphatic system: combats disease, maintains tissue fluid balance, absorbs dietary fats from the digestive tract
- Respiratory system: exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and respiratory passages, regulates blood pH
- Digestive system: performs mechanical and chemical processes of digestion, absorption of nutrients, elimination of wastes
- Urinary system: removes waste products from the blood, regulates blood pH, ion balance, water balance
- Serous membranes: have two types - visceral (in contact with organs) and parietal (in contact with cavity walls)
Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomical study: making a section through an organ to observe its interior, examining the surface of a bone, viewing tissue through a microscope
- Control system components: receptor (detects change), control center, effector (responds to change)
- Negative feedback mechanism: regulates variables, such as body temperature, blood pressure
Approaches to Studying Anatomy
- Regional anatomy: studies anatomy by dividing the body into regions
- Systemic anatomy: studies anatomy by focusing on systems, such as the digestive system
- Surface anatomy: studies the external features of the body
- Anatomical imaging: uses imaging techniques, such as X-rays, to study anatomy
Importance of Studying Anatomy and Physiology
- Understanding how the body works helps to understand how it maintains homeostasis
- Studying anatomy and physiology helps to understand how the body responds to stimuli
Differentiation and Development
- Differentiation: a process where cells become specialized in structure and function
- Involved in growth and development, but not in metabolism
Homeostasis
- Governed by the nervous and endocrine systems working together
- Maintains a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment
