Chapter 1- Intro To Anatomy & Physiology Flashcards
What is anatomy
Study of structure
What is physiology
Study of function
What did Louis Sullivan believe?
Form follows function
Aristotle
Expanded comparative anatomy
Hippocrates
Coined anatomical terms
Rufus of Efesos
Wrote a book called On the naming of the parts of the body
1989
FICAT
What is FICAT
International anatomical terminology
What is the purpose of FICAT?
Government body that determines what anatomical terms are to be used when describing the body
The Hippocratic oath is an excerpt from what
Hippocratic Corpus
Who is considered the “father” of western medicine?
Hippocratic
What is the Hippocratic oath?
To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents( when he is in need of money to share mine with him
What are the 4 main topics of anatomy
- Gross anatomy
- Surface anatomy
- Microscopic anatomy
- Developmental anatomy
Gross anatomy
Study of structures visible to the eye
Regional anatomy
Study of structure in a specific region (thoracic; chest)
Systemic anatomy
Study of structure of a system
Surface anatomy
Study of surface structure
Microscopic anatomy
Study of structures too small to see with the naked eye. (Needs a microscope)
Cytology
Study of cells (individual)
Histology
Study of tissues
Developmental anatomy
Study of change in anatomy throughout the lifespan
Embryology
Study of developmental prior to birth
Compare and contrast anatomy and physiology
Form = function
What are the topics of physiology and how are topics in physiology discussed?
Focus on a specific organ or system.
Renal, cardiovascular, and neurophysiology
What are the 4 main underlying themes in physiology?
- Structure and function are closely related.
- Living organisms need energy
- Information flow coordinates body functions
- Homeostasis maintains internal stability
What are the main properties of life?
Maintain boundaries, movement, responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, excretion, reproduction, and growth
What are the 6 levels of organization?
Chemical level, cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level, organism level
What is the smallest organization level
Chemical level
What is the largest organization level
Organism
Epithelial tissue
Lines internal surfaces and chambers of the body, produces glandular secretions
Connective tissue
Fills internal spaces, provides structural support, and stores energy (matrix)
Muscle tissues
Contract to produce active movement
Nervous tissue
Conducts electrical impulses and carries information from neuron to neuron
Integumentary system
Hair, skin, nails
Skeletal system
Joint, bones
muscular system
Skeletal muscles
Nervous system
Brain, spinal cord, nerves
Endocrine system
Pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, adrenal gland, thymus, thyroid gland
Cardiovascular/Circulatory system
Blood vessels, blood and heart
Lymphatic system/immunity
Red bone marrow, thymus, lymphatic vessels, thoracic duct, spleen, lymph nodes
Respiratory system
lungs, airways
Digestive system
stomach, intestine, liver, pancreas
Urinary system
Kidney, bladder
male reproductive system
prostate, ductus deferens, scrotum, penis, testis
female reproductive system
mammary glands (breasts), uterus, vagina, ovary, uterine tube
how do the systems of the body work together? what function does this provide?
fully integrated in order to work together to maintain homeostasis
circulatory system functions
transport of materials between all cells of the body
digestive system functions
conversion of food into particles that can be transported into the body; eliminates waste
endocrine system functions
coordination of the body function through synthesis and release of regulatory molecules
immune system functions
defense against foreign invaders
integumentary system functions
protection from external environment
musculoskeletal system functions
support and movement
nervous system functions
coordination of body function through electrical signals and release of regulatory molecules
reproductive system functions
perpetuation of the species
respiratory system functions
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the internal and external environments
urinary system functions
maintenance of water and solutes in the internal environment; waste removal
what is the anatomical position?
body erect, feet slightly apart, arms at side, palms facing forward
superior
towards the head
inferior
towards the feet
anterior
towards the belly (bipedal)
posterior
towards the spine
medial
towards the midline
