Study Notes
Chapter Overview
- Discusses structural organization and body cavities.
- Defines body divisions, including anatomical and clinical aspects.
- Presents positional, directional, and planes of the body terminology.
Structural Organization of the Body
- Organized into levels: cells, tissues, organs, and systems.
- Cells: Fundamental units of life; consist of chromosomes, nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum.
- Different cell types vary in function: muscle, nerve, epithelial, and fat cells.
- Tissues: A group of similar cells performing specific functions.
- Organs: Composed of different tissues working together.
- Systems: Combinations of organs functioning together for complex processes.
Body Cavities
- Defined as spaces that contain internal organs (viscera).
- Major cavities: cranial, thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, and spinal.
- Cranial Cavity: Houses the brain.
- Thoracic Cavity: Contains lungs, heart, major blood vessels, and other organs.
- Abdominal Cavity: Contains the stomach, intestines, spleen, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.
- Pelvic Cavity: Includes parts of the intestines, urinary bladder, and reproductive organs.
- Spinal Cavity: Contains the spinal cord and associated nerves.
Abdominopelvic Regions and Quadrants
- Regions include:
- Right and left hypochondriac
- Epigastric
- Right and left lumbar
- Umbilical
- Right and left inguinal
- Hypogastric
- Quadrants:
- Right Upper Quadrant (RUQ): Liver, gallbladder.
- Left Upper Quadrant (LUQ): Stomach, spleen.
- Right Lower Quadrant (RLQ): Appendix, right ovaries.
- Left Lower Quadrant (LLQ): Left ovaries.
Anatomical Divisions of the Back
- Divided into five regions:
- Cervical
- Thoracic
- Lumbar
- Sacral
- Coccygeal
Terminology of Positions and Directions
- Positional and Directional Terms:
- Anterior (front), Posterior (back)
- Superior (above), Inferior (below)
- Medial (toward the middle), Lateral (toward the side)
- Proximal (near), Distal (far)
- Deep (inside), Superficial (outside)
- Supine (lying face up), Prone (lying face down)
Planes of the Body
- Frontal (Coronal Plane): Divides body into anterior and posterior sections.
- Sagittal (Lateral Plane): Divides body into left and right sections.
- Transverse (Axial Plane): Divides body into superior and inferior sections.
Combining Forms, Suffixes, and Prefixes
- Common Combining Forms:
- abdomin/o: abdomen
- adip/o: fat
- cervic/o: neck
- crani/o: skull
- thorac/o: chest
- Prefixes and their meanings:
- ana- (up), cata- (down), epi- (above), hypo- (below).
- Suffixes describing relationships or conditions:
- -eal (pertaining to), -ism (process, condition), -ose (full of).
Final Notes
- Understanding these key terms is crucial for interpreting medical language and concepts.
- Associative learning using diagrams and practical examples of the body structure can enhance retention.
