8/12


9th/8th/or 7th edition - pearson - human anatomy

-​ Anatomy- the study of the structure of the human body
-​ Physiology - the study of the function
-​ Subdisciplines- gross anatomy- regional anatomy- systemic anatomy- surface
anatomy- microscopic anatomy- developmental-embryology-radiological-pathology


Hierarchy of structural organization
-​ Tissues-organs
-​
Integumentary system
-​ hair-skin-nails-sweat glands

Skeletal system
-​ protects-provides-forms blood cells

Muscular system
-​ Manipulation of movement

Nervous system
-​ Fast acting control system responding to internal/external changes

Endocrine system
-​ Hormones-growth-reproduction-metabolism-nutrient use

Cardiovascular system
-​ Blood vessels-carries oxygen-wastes and nutrients- pumps blood

Lymphatic system
-​ Picks up fluid leaked-houses white blood cells

Respiratory system
-​ Keeps blood supplied- gas exchange- removes carbon dioxide

Digestive system
-​ Breaks down food into things we need and eliminating the things we don’t need

Urinary system

, -​ Regulates ph range

Regional and directional terms
-​ Anatomical position- person stands up straight with feet together eyes forward palms
faced front (thumbs pointed away from body)
-​ Ipsilateral- same side
-​ Contralateral- opposite side
-​ Viscera means organ

8/14

-​ Microscopy- examining small structures through a microscope
-​ Light microscopy
-​ Scanning electron microscopy

-​ Acidic stain- negatively charged dye molecules
-​ X-ray- electromagnetic waves of very short length (visualizing bones and abnormal
dense structures
-​ CT or CAT (computed (axial) tomography
-​ Angiography (image of highlighted vessel structures)
-​ MRI (Magnetic resonance image)
-​ Cell components- obtain nutrients- make molecules- plasma membrane- cytoplasm-
nucleus
-​ Organelles- subunits cells with specific functions (not all cells have them)
-​ Plasma membrane- structure (mosaic model(lipid bilayer)
-​ Type of membrane proteins- integral proteins- peripheral proteins Plasma membrane
functions- relate to location at the interface of cell’s exterior and interior - provide barrier
against substances
-​ Membrane transport- simple diffusion (molecules move down concentration gradient into
or out of the cell/does not require energy) - osmosis ( diffusion of water through the lipid
bilayer)- facilitated diffusion (helps membrane passage) - active transport (requires
energy (atp) against concentration gradient)
-​ Endocytosis (Endo-within)
Phagocytosis- ‘cell eating” - Pinocytosis “cell drinking”- Receptor mediated endocytosis
(receptors on the plasma membrane
-​ Exocytosis (exo means outside)-(moves stuff out of the cell)
-​ Cytoplasm- lies internal to plasma
-​ Ribosome- made up of proteins and ribosomal RNA
-​ Golgi apparatus- a stack of 3 to 10 disc-shaped envelopes
-​ Lysosomes- membrane-walled sacs- digit unwanted substances “demolition crew”
-​ Mitochondria- most complex organelle- double walled membrane (bean shape)
-​ Peroxisomes- break down poisons, long chains of fatty acids (toxic wastes removal
system)
-​ Nucleus (control center)
