Study Notes
Introduction to Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathophysiology
- Anatomy is the study of the structure of an organism.
- Physiology is the study of how living organisms and their parts function.
- Pathophysiology is the study of disordered physiological processes associated with disease or injury.
Studying Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathophysiology
- Cytology: the study of cells.
- Histology: microscopic study of living tissues.
- Microscopic Anatomy: study of small tissues, organs, and cells that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Organization of the Human Body: Tissues
- Tissues are composed of cells grouped by size, shape, and function.
- Types of tissues:
- Epithelial
- Connective
- Muscle
- Nervous
Epithelial Tissue
- Covers the outside of the body (skin).
- Lines the inside of the body.
- Membranes: two thin layers of tissue that form together. Cells may secrete a fluid.
Overview of Body Membranes
- Serous membrane, mucous membrane, synovial membrane, cutaneous membrane.
Specific Membranes to Remember
- Mucous membrane (mucosa): lines surfaces and spaces leading to the outside of the body.
- Parietal membrane: lining of a body cavity.
- Peritoneal membrane: lining of the abdominal cavity, protecting organs.
- Visceral membrane: membrane covering each organ in a body cavity..
Connective Tissue
- Supports and connects organs and tissues.
- Adipose stores fat cells.
- Cartilage: firm, flexible support of the embryonic and adult skeleton.
- Tendons: white bands connecting skeletal muscle to bone.
- Ligaments: strong, flexible bands connecting bones at joints.
Muscle Tissue
- Contracts and moves body parts.
- Cardiac muscle: striated, involuntary, contracts the heart.
- Skeletal muscle: striated, voluntary, attached to the skeleton.
- Smooth muscle: nonstriated, involuntary, provides movement in various body systems.
Nervous Tissue
- Reacts to stimulation and conducts impulses.
Additional Terms to Know
- Calcify: to deposit mineral salts (in bone and cartilage)
- Collagen: fibrous protein in bone and cartilage.
- Cutaneous: pertaining to the skin.
- Elastin: elastic-like fibers in connective tissue.
- Fascia: band of fibrous membrane, covering, binding, and supporting muscle.
- Graft: transplanting tissue to replace damaged tissue.
- Granulation: tiny red granules in healing wounds, comprised of newly formed capillaries and fibroblasts.
- Serous fluid: thin, watery body fluid.
- Synovial fluid: lubricating substance produced by the synovial membrane lining joint cavities.
Organ Systems
- Skeletal System: provides support, protection, and movement (Skull, Ribs, Pelvis, Humerus, Femur).
- Muscular System: provides support, protection, movement, and heat (Diaphragm, Pectoralis Major, Gluteus Maximus).
- Circulatory System: pumps blood and transports oxygen (Blood, Arteries, Veins, Heart).
- Lymphatic System: stimulates immune response and produces lymphocytes (Spleen, Tonsils, Thymus Gland, Lymph Vessels, Lymph Nodes).
- Respiratory System: allows for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide (Lungs, Diaphragm, Alveoli, Larynx, Pharynx).
- Digestive System: digests food and absorbs nutrients (Esophagus, Stomach, Liver, Small Intestine, Large Intestine).
- Integumentary System: protects, regulates body temperature, and provides sensation (Skin, Hair, Sweat Glands).
- Nervous System: processes information (Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves)
- Sensory System: provides sensation (Eyes, Ears, Nose, Mouth, Skin)
- Urinary System: eliminates urine (Kidneys, Bladder, Ureters, Urethra).
- Endocrine System: controls body functions (Pancreas, Thyroid Gland, Pituitary Gland)
- Reproductive System: controls reproductive processes (Uterus, Ovaries, Vagina, Testes).
