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.
