    Study Notes

    Introduction to Anatomy

    • Anatomy is the study of the structure of the human body, also known as "morphology."
    • The term originates from the Greek word "ANATOME," meaning cutting up, and the Latin "dissection."

    Importance of Studying Anatomy

    • Fundamental for understanding the form, topography, structure, and function of organs.
    • Integral to various medical fields, including physiology, clinical practice, surgical techniques, and medical imaging.

    Levels of Structural Organization

    • Chemical Level: Involves atoms combining to form macromolecules like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids (DNA/RNA).
    • Cellular Level: Comprises the smallest living units in the body.
    • Tissue Level: Groups of similar cells working together; includes:
      • Epithelial tissue
      • Connective tissue
      • Muscle tissue
      • Nervous tissue
    • Organ Level: Structures made up of multiple tissues, such as the lung, liver, and brain.
    • Organ System Level: Groups of related organs, e.g., cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
    • Organismal Level: Represents the complete human organism.

    Subdisciplines of Anatomy

    • Gross Anatomy: Examination of large body structures visible to the naked eye.

      • Involves morphological studies including shape, dimensions, weight, color, and internal structure.
      • Uses dissection as a technique for study.
      • Surface Anatomy: Examines surface landmarks that indicate underlying organs (e.g., abdominal quadrants).
      • Systemic Anatomy: Studies organs with related functions together, such as the circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems.

    • Microscopic Anatomy (Histology): The study of cells, tissues, and organ microscopic details, typically using a microscope.
