Commonly used terms in Anatomy & Physiology Levels of Organization The body is composed of several levels of structure and function. Each of these levels incorporates the previous level, and contributes to the structure and function of the entire organism. The levels of organization from simplest to most complex are: – Cell – Tissue – Organ – System – Organism  Cell – The study of the body at the cellular level is called cytology. – The cell is the structural and functional unit of life. Cells are composed of: – Cell membrane – Cytoplasm – Nucleus Do you know how many cells are there in your body? 10,000,000,000,00 0 10 trillion cells Types of cells GIVE THE TERMS: RED BLOOD CELLS- Erythrocyte 5 LIVER CELLS - Hepatocyte STUDY OF CELLS - Ex Cytology FLUID INSIDE THE CELL – Cytoplasm Tissue – The study of tissues is called histology. – Groups of cells that perform a specialized activity are called tissues. Organ – Organs are body structures composed of at least two or more tissue types that perform specialized functions. – For example, the stomach is composed of muscle tissue, epithelial tissue, and nervous tissue.  System – A body system is composed of varying numbers of organs and accessory structures that have similar or interrelated functions. – For example, some of the organs of the gastrointestinal system include the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.  Examples of systems: – Ur/o- (urinary system) – Cardi/o- (cardiovascular system) – Gastr- and intestion- (Gastrointestinal system) – Respiratory system – Reproductive system.  Organism – An organism is a complete living entity capable of independent existence. – All complex organisms, including humans, are composed of several body systems that work together to sustain life.  Activity Arrange the following items in the correct order: □ Organismi □ Organ3 □ Cell& □ System 4 □ Tissue 2  Body Cavities The body has two major cavities: □ The dorsal cavity (posterior) □ The ventral cavity (anterior) Abdominopelvic Divisions The abdominopelvic area of the body is divided to: Quadrants Regions The divisions of quadrants are used in clinical examinations and medical reports.

Septum is a Partition in the nose. The functions of the nose are : □ Serves as a passageway for air □ Warms and humidifies inhaled air □Mucous membrane trap dust, pollen, bacteria, and other foreign matter  The Pharynx – Pharyng/o The functions of the pharynx are: □Passageway for air and food. □ Aids in sound production by changing shape □ It is divided into three portions: ✔ Nasopharynx ✔Oropharynx ✔Laryngopharynx  The Larynx– Laryng/o commonly called the voice box, is an organ in the top of the neck The functions of the pharynx are: □Breathing □Producing sound □Protecting the trachea against food aspiration  The Trachea – Trache/o It extends from the pharynx and larynx to the main bronchi  The Bronchi – Bronchi/o □ The trachea divides into the right bronchus and the left bronchus □ Each bronchus then subdivide into the bronchial tree composed of smaller bronchi, bronchioles, and alveolar ducts. □ Bronchi functions as a passageway for air to and from the lungs  The Lung – PNEMON\0 Two in number; cone-shaped, spongy organs of respiration lying on either side of the heart within the pleural cavity of the thorax. □Lobes of the lungs –Lob/o Right lung – has three lobes Left lung – has two lobe  Alveoli – Alveol/o □ Each bronchiole terminates in an alveolar sac, a group of alveoli. □ Alveoli is encased by network of capillaries, forming the respiratory membrane. □ Air comes in contact with blood so that O2 and CO2 can be exchanged in the alveoli  Pleura and Diaphragm □ Pleura – pleur/o : Each lung is covered by double-folded serous membrane, □ Diaphragm – Phren/o The musculo-membranous wall that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. The diaphragm has a major part in Inhalation and exhalation. The flow chart to show the path of air in the respiratory tract  Respiratory System Root/Combining Forms Name of parts Word roots Root/combining form Nose Rhin Rhin/o Septum Sept Sept/o Pharynx Pharyng Pharyng/o Larynx Laryng Laryng/o Trachea Trache Trache/o Bronchi Bronch Bronch/o Lungs Pneumon Pneumon/o Lobe Lob Lob/o Alveoli Alveo Alveo  Respiratory System Suffixes Suffixes Meanings Examples –capnia carbon dioxide Hyper/capnia □ – –ectasis dilated, expansion Bronchi/ectasis –osmia smell A/somia –phonia voice Dys/phonia –pnea breathing Brady/pnea –ptysis spitting Hemo/ptysis - thorax chest Hemo/thorax  Pneumon/o = Lung Terms Suffix Definition Pneumon/ectomy Ectomy- removal Excision of part or all of a lung Pneumon/o/tomy Tomy - opening Incision of a lung Pneumon/o/pathy Pathy - disease Any disease of the lungs Pneumon/o/rrhagia Rrhagia – excessive Hemorrhage of a lung discharge/ bleeding Pneumon/ia Ia Acute inflammation of the lungs Pneumon/itis Itis -infection Inflammation of the lungs Pneumon/o/centesis Centesis – surgical Surgical puncture of a punturing lung to remove fluid  Pneum/o = Air Terms Word root Definition Pneum/o/meter Meter- (suffix) An An instrument that instrument to measures air volume measure Pneum/o/hem/o/thorax Pneum/o =Air Collection of air and Hem/o = Blood blood in the chest cavity Pneum/o/py/o/thorax Pneum/o = Air Collection of air and pus Py/o = Pus in the chest cavity Pneum/o/ser/o/thorax Pneum/o = Air Collection of air and Ser/o = Serum serum in the chest cavity  Pnea = Breathing Terms Prefix Meaning A/pnea A - Absence Absence of breathing Dys/pnea Dys - Difficulty Difficult breathing Hyper/pnea Hyper - Increase Increased rate and depth of breathing Tachy/pnea Rapid breathing Respiratory rate more than 20/mt Brady/pnea Slow breathing Respiratory rate less than 12/mt Ortho/pnea Straight /standing Difficulty to breath in lying (supine)position Terms Prefix/root/ combining/suffix Meaning Hem/o/pty/sis Hem/o – blood coughing up blood from the Ptysis – cough and spittting respiratory system.
