Study Notes
Introduction to the Human Body
- Anatomy: The study of body structure
- Physiology: The study of body function
- Structure and function are related
- Levels of Organization: Atoms, Molecules, Cells, Tissues, Organs, Organ Systems, Human Organism
- Major Organ Systems: Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Endocrine, Circulatory, Lymphatic, Immune, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Reproductive
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis: The body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment
- Homeostatic mechanisms help maintain homeostasis
- Homeostatic imbalance is associated with various disorders
Anatomical Position
- Standing erect, face forward
- Arms at sides
- Toes and palms directed forward
Relative Positions
- Superior (above) and Inferior (below)
- Anterior (front) and Posterior (back)
- Medial (middle) and Lateral (side)
- Proximal (close) and Distal (far)
- Superficial (outer) and Deep (inner)
- Central (center) and Peripheral (outer)
Planes and Sections of the Body
- Sagittal plane: Divides the body lengthwise into right and left portions
- Frontal plane: Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions
- Transverse plane: Divides the body horizontally into upper and lower portions
Regional Terms
- Anatomical terms for different parts
- Examples: cephalic, orbital, buccal, oral, cervical (neck), abdominal, flank, etc.
Cavities of the Body
- Dorsal Cavity: Cranial cavity (skull) and Spinal (vertebral) cavity
- Ventral Cavity: Thoracic cavity (chest)
- Pleural cavities (lungs)
- Mediastinum (between lungs)
- Abdominal cavity
- Pelvic cavity
- Abdominopelvic cavity
- Divisions of the abdominopelvic cavity :
- Four quadrants
- Nine regions
