Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy refers to the study of the structure of the human body visible to the naked eye.
- Physiology focuses on the functions and activities of body structures.
Cells and Protoplasm
- Cells are the fundamental units of all living organisms, including bacteria, plants, animals, and humans.
- Protoplasm is a jelly-like substance within cells containing proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts, and water.
Cell Structures
- Mitosis is the process whereby a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
- The nucleus is the dense protoplasm at the cell's center, essential for cellular activities.
- Cytoplasm is the fluid surrounding the nucleus, crucial for growth and repair processes.
- The cell membrane encloses protoplasm, regulating the entry and exit of soluble substances.
Tissues and Their Types
- Tissues are collections of similar cells working together for a specific function.
- Epithelial tissue serves as a protective covering on body surfaces.
- Muscle tissue is responsible for movement of body parts.
- Connective tissue supports and binds other body tissues, providing protection.
- Adipose tissue gives contour and insulation, protecting internal organs.
- Nerve tissue transmits messages to and from the brain, coordinating bodily functions.
Examples of Tissues
- Connective tissues include bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, adipose tissue, lymph, and blood.
- Epithelial tissue examples are skin, mucous membranes, mouth tissue, and linings of the heart, digestive, and respiratory glands.
Neurons and Organs
- Neurons are specialized cells that form the nerves, brain, and spinal cord.
- Organs are structures made of specialized tissues performing specific functions in plants and animals.
Body Systems
- The circulatory system manages blood movement throughout the body.
- The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients and waste.
- The endocrine system regulates hormone levels for growth and health.
- The excretory system removes waste and toxins from the body.
- The integumentary system provides a protective covering and regulates temperature.
- The immune (lymphatic) system protects against disease by developing immunities.
- The muscular system shapes and allows for movement of the skeleton.
- The nervous system coordinates all body systems for efficient functioning.
- The reproductive system enables the production of offspring and genetic material transfer.
- The respiratory system supplies blood and oxygen while eliminating carbon dioxide.
- The skeletal system forms the body's physical framework, consisting of 206 bones.
Joint Types
- There are two joint types: movable (e.g., elbows, knees, hips) and immovable (e.g., skull, pelvis).
- The skeletal system comprises 206 bones, serving as connections between bones through joints.
Additional Tissue Facts
- The tissue forming the majority of teeth is the hardest tissue in the body, aside from bone.
