Study Notes
Overview of Human Anatomy
- Human anatomy is the study of the structures of the human body.
- It encompasses all the organs, tissues, and cells that make up the body.
- This includes their size, shape, location, and relationships with each other.
- Anatomical studies often utilize visual aids like drawings, models, and images.
- Key anatomical directional terms are crucial to understanding the body's spatial relationships.
Major Body Systems
- Integumentary System: Forms an external covering; includes skin, hair, nails, and associated glands. Protects underlying tissues.
- Skeletal System: Provides support and framework; composed of bones and cartilage, enabling movement and protecting internal organs.
- Muscular System: Provides movement; comprises skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle tissues, enabling various actions.
- Nervous System: Coordinates body functions; includes the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory organs.
- Endocrine System: Regulates body functions through hormones; encompasses glands including the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and pancreas.
- Cardiovascular System: Circulates blood; comprising the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood.
- Lymphatic System: Maintains fluid balance in tissues and plays a role in immunity; features lymph nodes, vessels, and lymphocytes.
- Respiratory System: Facilitates gas exchange; includes lungs, trachea, and bronchi. Enables breathing and oxygen uptake.
- Digestive System: Processes food; comprises the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and associated organs. Breaks down food for nutrient absorption.
- Urinary System: Removes wastes from the blood and maintains water balance; includes kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
- Reproductive System: Responsible for reproduction; differs between males and females.
Key Anatomical Planes and Sections
- Sagittal Plane: Divides the body into left and right portions.
- Midsagittal Plane: Specific sagittal plane dividing the body into equal left and right halves.
- Frontal (Coronal) Plane: Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions.
- Transverse (Horizontal) Plane: Divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) portions.
- Oblique Plane: Any plane that's neither sagittal, frontal, nor transverse.
Microscopical Anatomy
- Deals with structures that can only be seen with a microscope.
- Levels include tissues, cells, and organelles.
- Cellular structure and function are critical components of anatomy.
- Histology encompasses the microscopic study of tissues.
Directional Terms
- Superior/Inferior: Above/below.
- Anterior/Posterior: Front/back.
- Medial/Lateral: Toward the midline/away from the midline.
- Proximal/Distal: Closer to the point of attachment/further from the point of attachment.
- Superficial/Deep: Toward the surface/away from the surface.
Anatomical Regions
- Specific anatomical regions, like the abdominal regions facilitate descriptions of body locations.
- Knowledge of these regions aids in pinpointing injuries or identifying organs located within specific zones.
