Study Notes
Introduction to Anatomy, Physiology & Pathophysiology
- Anatomy is the study of the structure of an organism.
- Physiology is the study of the functions of living organisms and their parts.
- Pathophysiology is the study of disordered physiological processes associated with disease or injury.
Learning Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology
- Cytology is the study of cells.
- Histology is the microscopic study of living tissues.
- Microscopic Anatomy studies small tissues, organs, and cells.
Organization of the Human Body: Tissues
- Tissues are composed of cells grouped by size, shape, and function.
- Types of tissues include: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
Epithelial Tissue
- Skin covers the outside of the body.
- Epithelial tissue lines the inside of the body.
- Membranes are two thin layers of tissue that form together.
- Cells may secrete a fluid.
Types of Membranes
- Mucous membrane (Mucosa): a type of tissue that lines surfaces and spaces that lead to the outside of the body.
- Parietal membrane: lining of a body cavity.
- Peritoneal membrane: lining of the abdominal cavity that protects abdominal organs.
- Visceral membrane: membrane covering each organ in a body cavity.
- Serous membrane: thin double-layered membranes that line closed body cavities.
- Cutaneous membrane: skin.
Connective Tissue
- Connective tissue supports and connects organs and tissues.
- Adipose tissue stores fat cells.
- Cartilage provides firm, flexible support.
- Tendons connect skeletal muscle to bone.
- Ligaments connect bones at joints.
Muscle Tissue
- Muscle tissue contracts and moves a body part.
- Cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary, and contracts the heart..
- Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntary, attached to the skeleton.
- Smooth muscle is nonstriated and involuntary, providing movement in various body systems.
Nervous Tissue
- Nervous tissue reacts to stimulation and conducts an impulse.
Additional Terms
- Calcify: to deposit mineral salts in bone and cartilage.
- Collagen: fibrous protein in bone and cartilage.
- Cutaneous: pertaining to the skin.
- Elastin: elastic fibers in connective tissue.
- Fascia: band or sheet of fibrous membranes covering, binding, and supporting muscle.
- Graft: transplanting tissue into a body part to replace damaged tissue.
- Granulation: tiny red granules in a healing wound; consists of newly formed capillaries and fibroblasts.
- Serous fluid: thin, watery body fluid.
- Synovial fluid: a lubricating substance produced by the synovial membrane lining joint cavities.
Organ Systems
- The body's organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis and perform various functions. Various systems exist, including:
- 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 the immune response and produces lymphocytes. (spleen, tonsils, thymus gland, lymph vessels, lymph nodes)
- Respiratory System: allows for the 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).
