    Study Notes

    Introduction to Gross Human Structural Biology

    • Gross Human Structural Biology (HSB) involves studying normal structures using unaided senses (touch, sight, hearing).
    • Radiographic HSB correlates human anatomy knowledge with various imaging modalities.
    • Anatomy encompasses the science of the structure and function of the human body.

    Main Approaches to Study Anatomy

    • Regional Anatomy: Focuses on body's major parts or segments without dissection.
    • Systemic Anatomy: Studies external anatomical features by organ systems.
    • Clinical Anatomy: Applies anatomical knowledge to medical diagnosis and treatment.

    Living vs. Nonliving Human Body

    • Vital signs are critical indicators distinguishing living from nonliving individuals.
    • Blood Pressure: Measured using a sphygmomanometer; standard reading is 100/80 mmHg (systolic/diastolic).
      • Systolic pressure: First sound detected.
      • Diastolic pressure: Last sound detected.
    • Heart Rate: Indicates beats per minute, typically assessed through auscultation.
    • Respiratory Rate: Number of breaths per minute; one cycle consists of one inspiration and expiration.

    Vital Signs

    • Heart Sound Auscultation:
      • Aortic Area: 2nd right intercostal space.
      • Pulmonic Area: 2nd left intercostal space.
      • Tricuspid Area: 4th left intercostal space.
      • Mitral Area (Apex): 5th left intercostal space (midclavicular).
    • Measured heart sounds are documented in beats per minute (bpm).

    Heredity and Environment

    • Human traits are influenced by both hereditary and acquired characteristics.
    • Hereditary traits are inherited from parents, while environmental factors can lead to acquired characteristics.
