Study Notes
Introduction to Human Anatomy
- Professor Dr. Abeer El-Said El-Mehi, of Menoufia University, is the presenter.
- The image displays a full-body diagram of a human with labelled organs and systems.
- The anatomy diagram highlights major internal organs like the brain, heart, lungs, liver, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, kidneys, spleen, and pancreas..
- The diagram also shows the bladder and gallbladder.
Integumentary System
- The integumentary system consists of the skin.
- Skin appendages include hair and hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and nails.
- The skin functions in protecting the body from environmental insults.
- Micro-organisms and ultraviolet irradiation are examples.
- It maintains body temperature by vasodilation (cooling) and vasoconstriction (warming).
- Skin helps to prevent excessive water loss from the body surface.
- Sensory receptors in the skin provide perception of external stimuli, including pain and touch..
- Skin plays a role in vitamin D synthesis.
Skin Layers
- Epidermis: The top, superficial layer of the skin, which is thinner.
- Epidermis: This layer is made of epithelial cells.
- Epidermis: It is avascular (no blood vessels).
- Dermis: The deeper layer of the skin, which is thicker.
- Dermis: Made of connective tissue.
- Dermis: Has blood vessels.
- Dermis: Contains hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and associated structures.
- Subcutaneous: The subcutaneous layer is beneath the dermis.
- Subcutaneous: It is comprised of connective tissue and subcutaneous fat
Skin Appendages
- Hair, hair follicles, sweat glands (apocrine and eccrine), sebaceous glands, nails are discussed in terms of skin appendages
Fascia
- Fascia: A tough, fibrous membrane found deep to the superficial fascia.
- Fascia: It's is found in the limbs and forms intermuscular septa.
- Fascia: It is absent from the anterior abdominal wall and face.
Muscular System
- Skeletal muscle: The most abundant muscle in the body.
- Skeletal muscle: The skeletal muscle is attached to bones.
- Skeletal muscle: It's voluntarily controlled.
- Skeletal muscle: The skeletal muscle is supplied by somatic nerves.
- Smooth muscle: Found in internal organs and blood vessels.
- Smooth muscle: It's involuntarily controlled.
- Smooth muscle: Supplied by autonomic nerves.
- Cardiac muscle: In the walls of the heart (myocardium).
- Cardiac muscle: It's involuntary.
- Cardiac muscle: Supplied by the autonomic nervous system.
Skeletal Muscles
-
Origin: The proximal (closer to the body) end of the muscle.
-
Insertion: The distal (further from the body) end of the muscle.
-
Belly: The fleshy part of the muscle.
-
Tendon: The cord of fibrous tissue that attaches muscles to bones; it is the non-contractile connective tissue part of the muscle
-
Aponeurosis: The sheet-like fibrous tissue that attaches muscles to bones or other structures (in some cases).
-
Raphe: Interdigitations of muscles
-
Actions:
- Prime mover (agonist); the principal muscle causing a specific movement.
- Antagonist; opposes the action of the prime mover.
- Fixator; stabilizes the origin of the prime mover.
- Synergist; assists the action of the prime mover
-
Fixators: Stabilize one attachment point, so the other end moves during a body action.
