Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology
- Anatomy: study of structure (sx), learning parts before function (fx)
- Physiology: study of function (fx) of body parts
Levels of Body Organization & Systems
- Chemical: atoms (smallest units of matter), molecules (two or more atoms joined)
- Cellular: molecules combine to form cells, most basic and functional units of an organism
- Tissues: groups of similar cells working together, 4 types:
- Epithelial: covers body surfaces
- Connective: supports and protects body organs, distributes blood vessels
- Muscular: contracts -> movement & heat
- Nervous: carries information between body parts
- Organs: two or more tissues working together to perform a function
- Organ Systems: related organs with a common function
11 Organ Systems (RUN MRS LIDEC)
- Integumentary: skin & associated structures (hair, fingernail, toenail, sweat glands, oil glands, subcutaneous layer)
- Skeletal: bones & joints
- Muscular: skeletal muscle tissue, body movement
- Cardiovascular: blood, heart, & blood vessels
- Lymphatic & Immunity: lymphatic fluid, lymphatic vessels, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, tonsils, B & T cells
- Nervous: brain, spinal cord, nerves and special sense organs (eyes, ears)
- Endocrine: hormone-producing glands, regulate body activities
- Respiratory: lungs, bronchial tubes, trachea, larynx, pharynx; transfers gases in/out of body, regulates pH, sounds
- Digestive: mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small & large intestine, anus; salivary glands, liver, gall bladder, pancreas
- Urinary: kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra
- Reproductive: gonads (testes/ovaries); uterine tubes, uterus & vagina; epididymides, seminal vesicles, prostate, ductus deferens and penis

Description
Learn about organs which are groups of two or more tissues working together to perform a specific function, like the stomach, heart, lungs, and brain. Explore the concept of organ systems, where related organs collaborate to achieve common functions, such as the digestive system which breaks down and absorbs food through various organs.
