Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology in Cosmetology
- Knowledge of anatomy and physiology is crucial for understanding how the body reacts to treatments.
- Identification of abnormal conditions is essential for safe practice.
- Familiarity with bone and muscle structure enhances skills in skin manipulations and facials.
Human Anatomy Focus
- Study areas primarily include the skin, muscles, nerves, circulatory system, and bones of the head, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, and feet.
Definitions of Key Terms
- Anatomy: Study of visible body structures and organization.
- Histology: Study of microscopic structures in living tissues.
- Physiology: Study of how body structures function.
Cellular Composition
- Cells are the basic unit of life, composed of protoplasm—a jelly-like substance.
- Metabolic processes include anabolism (building molecules) and catabolism (breaking down molecules for energy).
Tissue Types
- There are four primary types of tissue: epithelial, muscular, nerve, and connective.
- Epithelial tissue: Protective covering of body surfaces.
- Muscular tissue: Facilitates movement in the body.
- Nerve tissue: Transmits messages to and from the brain.
- Connective tissue: Includes bone, cartilage, and blood.
Skeletal System
- Composed of 206 bones, varying in size and shape.
- The cranium consists of 8 bones protecting the brain.
- Understanding bone structure is important for cosmetology practices involving the skeletal system.
Muscular System
- Muscles contract to shape and hold the skeleton in place.
- The belly is the central part of the muscle; insertion is the movable end; origin is the fixed end.
- Massage pressure is applied from insertion towards origin.
The Nervous System
- Comprises the brain, spinal cord, and nerves; it controls bodily functions.
- The brain is the largest nerve tissue and weighs around three pounds.
- Involves sensory (impulse to the brain) and motor nerves (impulse from the brain).
Circulatory System
- Also known as the cardiovascular system; consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries.
- The heart acts as the pump for circulation.
- Two main circulatory paths: pulmonary (heart to lungs) and systemic (heart to body).
Endocrine System
- Composed of glands influencing growth, development, and health.
- Glands can be endocrine (ductless, releasing hormones into the bloodstream) or exocrine (having ducts, like sweat glands).
Digestive and Respiratory Systems
- The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients and waste, a process taking about nine hours.
- The respiratory system, involving the lungs, enables breathing (respiration) and gas exchange.
Lymphatic System
- Closely related to the cardiovascular system; involved in immunity and clearing cell impurities.
- Primary functions include disease protection and development of immunity.
Blood Functions
- Blood carries water, nutrients, and waste, helps regulate body temperature, supports the immune system, and forms clots to prevent blood loss.
Basic Requirements for Cell Growth
- Vital conditions for cell reproduction include the availability of food, oxygen, water, and the ability to eliminate waste.
- Adverse conditions include exposure to toxins, diseases, or injuries can lead to cell impairment and death.
