Study Notes
Introduction to Human Anatomy
- Anatomy is the study, classification, and description of body structures and organs.
- Physiology is the study of the functions of body parts (how they work).
- Anatomy can be studied at different levels: gross (macroscopic), microscopic, and developmental.
- Organs are composed of two or more types of tissues, with similar functions and shapes.
- Systems are collections of organs working together.
- The organismal level is the largest structural organization, formed by various systems working together.
Gross Anatomy
- Regional anatomy studies structures in one body region (e.g., abdomen, leg).
- Systemic anatomy examines the body through systems.
- Surface anatomy focuses on the relationships between internal structures and overlying skin.
Anatomical Position
- Body is erect, feet slightly apart, palms forward, thumbs away from the body.
Level of Structural Organization
- Chemical level: smallest components (atoms and molecules, necessary for life).
- Cellular level: molecules combine to form cells (basic structural and functional units).
- Tissue level: cells and surrounding materials working together.
- Organ level: two or more tissue types forming a recognizable structure.
- System level: organs working together.
- Organismal level: largest level, formed by all systems working together.
Directional Terms
- Superior (cranial/cephalic): towards the head.
- Inferior (caudal): away from the head.
- Anterior (ventral): towards the front.
- Posterior (dorsal): towards the back.
- Medial: closer to the midline.
- Lateral: further away from the midline.
- Intermediate: between two structures.
- Superficial: closer to the surface.
- Deep: further from the surface.
Body Planes
- Sagittal: divides the body into right and left sections.
- Midsagittal (medial): sagittal plane along the midline.
- Frontal (coronal): divides into anterior and posterior sections.
- Transverse (horizontal/cross section): divides the body into superior and inferior parts.
- Oblique: cuts made diagonally.
Body Cavities
- Dorsal cavity (protects nervous system):
- Cranial cavity (within the skull, encases the brain).
- Vertebral cavity (within the vertebral column, encases the spinal cord).
- Ventral cavity (houses internal organs):
- Thoracic cavity (pleural cavity-lungs, mediastinum-other organs, pericardial cavity-heart).
- Abdominopelvic cavity (abdominal cavity-stomach, intestines, spleen, liver; pelvic cavity-bladder, reproductive organs, rectum).
Other Body Cavities
- Oral, nasal, orbital, middle ear cavities.
- Synovial cavities are joint cavities.
Abdominal Pelvic Regions
- Regions used to describe locations of internal organs.
Cell Structure and Function
- **Selective Permeability:**Plasma membrane controls what enters and exits a cell.
- **Passive Transport:**Movement of substances across the membrane without energy input.
- Diffusion: Substances move from high concentration to low concentration.
- Osmosis: Movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from high water concentration to low water concentration.
- **Active Transport:**Movement of substances across the membrane requiring energy.
- Facilitated diffusion, solute pumping, bulk transport (exocytosis and endocytosis).
Tissues
- Epithelial Tissue: Protects, secretes, absorbs, and excretes.
- Connective Tissue: Supports, connects, and protects.
- Dense connective tissue, loose connective tissue, bone, cartilage, blood.
- Muscle Tissue: Contracts to cause movement.
- Smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle.
- Nervous Tissues: Conducts nerve impulses.
Other key information
- Organs: Structures with specific jobs.
- Systems: Groups that work together for the body.
- Ventral/Dorsal: Front/Back
- Internal/External: Inside/Outside
- Superior/Inferior: Top/Bottom
- Anterior/Posterior: Front/Back
- Medial/Lateral: Middle/Side
- Proximal/Distal: Closer/Further (from a point of reference)
