Summary

This document provides a general overview of human anatomy, including anatomical terminology, basic tissue types, and an overview of organ systems. It covers concepts like anatomical position, planes, and relationships, as well as examples of bone structure and function, muscular system, circulatory system, nervous system and other organ systems.

Systems: general anatomical terms & basic tissue types Human Anatomy ANTH/EEB/NURS 250 LECTURE 2 Level of human structure  Organism - individual  Organ systems - a group of organs with a unique collective function  Organs – carry out a particular function; have anatomical boundaries  Tissues - mass of similar cells that perform a specific function; epithelial, connective, nervous, muscular  Cells – basic unit of structure and function  Organelles – microscopic structures in a cell  Molecules – smallest units of chemical compounds (e.g., O2, H2O) Overview of anatomy: terminology  Anatomy  Study of structure (i.e., what does it look like?)  Regional anatomy vs. systemic anatomy  Anatomical position  Stand erect  Feet flat on the floor and close together  Arms at the sides  Palms and face directed forward  Forearm supinated (not pronated) Descriptions remain valid regardless of the subject’s position Planes and relationships Planes and relationships Superior Inferior Planes and relationships Latera l Medial Planes and relationships Posterior (Dorsal) Anterior (Ventral) Planes and relationships Generally only with limbs Proximal Distal Planes and relationships SUPERFICIAL vs. DEEP Viscera Organ systems  Skeletal Systems overview (osteological) system  Muscular system  Cardiovascular system  Nervous system  Lymphatic system  Digestive system  Immune system  Integumentary system  Endocrine (hormone) system  Respiratory system Skeletal system  Bones + cartilages + ligaments (connective tissue b/w bones) Tendons – connective tissue b/w muscle and bone and b/w muscles  Function Protection Support Movement Blood formation Storage for minerals Cranium Axial Postcrania Appendicular Bone structure Cancellous (trabecular) bone Compact (cortical) bone Medullary cavity Periosteum Osteons, osteocytes, and living bone Periosteum Perforati ng canal Trabecular bone Ligaments & Joints Bony Fibrous Cartilaginous Synovial  Fused suture  Unfused  Synchondrosi  Joint capsule suture s  Synovial fluid  Gomphosis  Hyaline  Bulsa (periodontal cartilage ligament)  Symphysis  Syndesmosis  Fibrocartilage (bundle of connective tissue) Muscular system  3 types of muscles - skeletal, cardiac, smooth  Function – movement, stability, control of body openings and passages, heat production, control of blood glucose Skeletal Cardiac Smooth Striation?
