Study Notes
Introduction to Human Body
- Anatomy is the study of the body's structure.
- Physiology is the study of how the body functions.
- Dissection is a key method in studying anatomy.
Levels of Organization
- Chemical: atoms combine to form molecules.
- Cellular: molecules combine to form cells.
- Tissue: groups of similar cells working together.
- Organ: a structure made of different tissue types.
- System: related organs functioning together.
- Organismal: all systems working together in a single organism.
Anatomical Terminology
- Anatomical position: standing erect, facing forward, arms at sides, palms forward.
- Prone position: lying face down.
- Supine position: lying face up.
Regional Names of Body
- Head, neck, trunk, upper limb, lower limb, groin.
Body Planes
- Sagittal: divides body into right and left.
- Midsagittal: equal halves.
- Parasagittal: unequal halves.
- Frontal: divides into front and back portions.
- Transverse: divides into upper and lower portions.
- Oblique: passes through at an oblique angle.
Directional Terms
- Superior (cranial): towards the head.
- Inferior (caudal): towards the feet.
- Anterior (ventral): front of the body.
- Posterior (dorsal): back of the body.
- Medial: toward the midline.
- Lateral: away from the midline.
- Intermediate: between two structures.
- Ipsilateral: same side of the body.
- Contralateral: opposite side of body.
- Proximal: closer to the origin of a structure.
- Distal: farther from the origin of a structure.
- Superficial: closer to the body surface.
- Deep: farther from the body surface.
- External: outer part of an organ.
- Internal: inner part of an organ.
Body Cavities
- Spaces within the body that house internal organs.
- Cranial: houses the brain.
- Vertebral: houses the spinal cord.
- Thoracic: contains pleural cavities (lungs), pericardial cavity (heart), and mediastinum (other thoracic organs).
- Abdominopelvic: subdivided into abdominal and pelvic cavities.
- Abdominal: most of the digestive organs.
- Pelvic: bladder, reproductive organs, and part of the large intestine.
- Pleural and pericardial cavities are serous cavities with a lubricating fluid to prevent friction.
Abdominopelvic Quadrants
- Dividing the abdominopelvic region into four quadrants for localization of pain or medical conditions.
Eleven Systems of the Body
Six Characteristics of Life Processes
- Metabolism: sum of chemical processes.
- Responsiveness: ability to detect and respond to environmental changes.
- Movement: includes whole body, organ, and cellular movement.
- Growth: increase in size due to cell increase, cell size increase, or material increase.
- Differentiation: unspecialized cells become specialized cells.
- Reproduction: formation of new cells or a new organism.
