Study Notes
Urinary System (Urology)
- Comprises kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
- Responsible for filtering blood, producing, transporting, storing, and excreting urine.
Genital (Reproductive) System
- Divided into gynecology (female) and andrology (male).
- Includes gonads (ovaries and testes) that generate oocytes (eggs) and sperm.
- Consists of ducts for transport and genitalia for union.
Approaches to Studying Anatomy
- Basic Anatomy: Studies minimal anatomy necessary for understanding body functions.
- Regional Anatomy: Examines the body's major parts or segments.
- Surface Anatomy: Focuses on structures beneath the skin and detectable by touch.
- Clinical Anatomy: Explores macroscopic structure and function relevant to medicine.
- Systemic Anatomy: Investigates organ systems working together for complex functions.
Anatomical Position
- Body standing erect, with upper limbs at sides and face, and palms facing forward.
Integumentary System (Dermatology)
- Comprises skin, appendages (hairs, nails, sweat glands), and subcutaneous tissue.
Skeletal System (Osteology)
- Includes bones and cartilage; provides shape, support, and protection for vital organs.
Articular System (Arthrology)
- Consists of joints and ligaments, critical for movement in the skeletal system.
Muscular System (Myology)
- Composed of skeletal muscles for body movement, and smooth/cardiac muscles for fluid control.
Nervous System (Neurology)
- Encompasses central and peripheral systems; regulates organ functions and body responses.
- Integrates sense organs (olfactory, visual, auditory, gustatory) with overall system.
Circulatory System (Angiology)
- Includes cardiovascular and lymphatic systems, transporting body fluids.
Cardiovascular System (Cardiology)
- Comprises the heart and blood vessels; circulates blood delivering oxygen, nutrients, and hormones.
Lymphatic System
- A network of vessels that removes excess tissue fluid (lymph), filters it through lymph nodes, and returns it to the bloodstream.
Anatomical Planes & Terms
- Median Plane: Vertical plane through the body center, dividing into equal left and right.
- Paramedian Plane: Parallel to the median plane, producing unequal left and right segments.
- Medial: Structure located closer to the median plane.
- Lateral: Structure located farther from the median plane.
