    Study Notes

    Learning Objectives

    • Define anatomy and physiology.
    • Identify locations and functions of organ systems and major organs in the human body.
    • Understand important life processes in the human body.
    • Explain the significance of homeostasis and its relationship to disorders.
    • Describe the human body using anatomical position and terminology.

    Basic Anatomical Terminology

    • Body Positions: Anatomical position is a standardized method for anatomical reference where the body stands erect, facing forward, arms at sides, palms forward, and feet flat.
    • Supine: Lying face-up.
    • Prone: Lying face-down.

    Regional Names

    • Specific names assigned to body regions for reference.

    Directional Terms

    • Essential for locating body parts relative to each other:
      • Superior: Toward the head (e.g., heart is superior to liver).
      • Inferior: Away from the head (e.g., stomach is inferior to lungs).
      • Anterior/Ventral: Front of the body (e.g., sternum is anterior to the heart).
      • Posterior/Dorsal: Back of the body (e.g., esophagus is posterior to trachea).
      • Medial: Nearer to the midline (e.g., ulna is medial to radius).
      • Lateral: Farther from the midline (e.g., lungs are lateral to heart).
      • Intermediate: Between two structures (e.g., transverse colon is intermediate to ascending and descending colons).
      • Ipsilateral: On the same side (e.g., gallbladder and ascending colon).
      • Contralateral: Opposite sides (e.g., ascending and descending colons).
      • Proximal: Nearer to trunk attachment (e.g., humerus is proximal to radius).
      • Distal: Farther from trunk attachment (e.g., phalanges are distal to carpals).
      • Superficial: On the body surface (e.g., ribs are superficial to lungs).
      • Deep: Away from the body surface (e.g., ribs are deep to skin).

    Serous Membranes

    • Thin, double-layered membranes covering viscera in thoracic and abdominal cavities.
    • Parietal layer: Lines cavity walls.
    • Visceral layer: Covers viscera.
    • Serous fluid: Reduces friction during organ movement.

    Types of Serous Membranes

    • Pleura: Surrounds lungs (visceral pleura on lungs, parietal pleura lining chest wall).
    • Pericardium: Covers the heart (visceral pericardium on heart, parietal pericardium lining chest).
    • Peritoneum: Encloses abdominal organs (visceral peritoneum covers organs, parietal peritoneum lines abdominal wall).
    • Retroperitoneal organs: Include kidneys, adrenal glands, pancreas, and parts of abdominal aorta (located behind peritoneum).

    Abdominopelvic Regions and Quadrants

    • Divided to describe organ locations effectively.

    Medical Imaging Procedures

    • CT Scan (Computed Tomography): Uses X-rays at multiple angles to create detailed images of soft tissues and organs, useful for diagnosing tumors and other conditions.
    • Ultrasound Scanning: Employs high-frequency sound waves to visualize organs; commonly used in pregnancy.
    • CCTA Scan (Coronary CT Angiography): Injects contrast medium to assess coronary artery blockages; offers detailed images of the heart's structure.
    • PET Scan (Positron Emission Tomography): Visualizes metabolic activity by detecting gamma rays from injected substances; useful for studying brain or heart physiology.
    • Endoscopy: Visual examination of internal organs using an endoscope for procedures like colonoscopy and laparoscopy.
    • Radionuclide Scanning: Involves injecting radioactive substances to image tissues; areas of high activity show intense color on images, used for various organ studies (e.g., SPECT scanning).
