Study Notes
Human Body Systems
- Cardiovascular / Circulatory System: Transports blood throughout the body via the heart, arteries, and veins; delivers oxygen and nutrients, and removes waste products.
- Respiratory System: Comprises the lungs and trachea; facilitates the intake of air and the exchange of gases.
- Central Nervous System: Includes the brain and spinal cord; processes sensory information and coordinates muscle actions.
- Digestive / Excretory System: Involves mechanical and chemical processes to absorb nutrients through organs like the mouth, stomach, and intestines; removes waste from the body.
- Renal / Urinary System: Features the kidneys; filters blood to maintain fluid balance and excrete waste products.
- Endocrine System: Regulates bodily functions through hormones, enabling chemical communication between different body parts.
- Integumentary / Exocrine System: Consists of skin, hair, nails, and glands; protects the body and regulates temperature through sweat.
- Muscular / Skeletal System: Combines muscles for body movement and bones for structural support and protection of internal organs.
- Lymphatic / Immune System: Composed of lymphatic vessels and lymph; plays a crucial role in immune defense and fluid balance.
Cell Structure and Function
- Cells are the basic building blocks of life, performing essential functions for growth, reproduction, and homeostasis.
Body Tissues
- Types of Tissues: Includes epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues, each serving specific functions in the body.
Anatomical Terms
-
Common Terms:
- Anterior/Ventral: Front side
- Posterior/Dorsal: Back side
- Lateral: Side
- Medial: Middle
- Median: Midline of the body
Anatomical Position & Planes
- Anatomical Position: Standard position for anatomical reference where the body stands upright, facing forward, arms at sides with palms up.
-
Body Planes:
- Coronal: Divides the body into front and back
- Sagittal: Divides the body into left and right
- Supine: Lying on the back
- Prone: Lying on the stomach
- Recumbent: Lying down in any position
- Lithotomy: Lying on the back with legs raised and supported by stirrups
Skeletal System
-
Types of Bones:
- Long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid bones.
-
Joints:
- Classified by range of motion: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints.
