examine internally
dissection/imaging/histology/cytology
examine externally
inspection/palpitation/auscultation/percussion
anatomy
study of form
diff approaches to anatomy
gross/microscopic
physiology
study of fxn
hierarchy of body
organism>organ sys>organs>tissues>cells>organelles>molecules>atoms
anatomical variation
no two things are alike, variation in organ locations, 30% variation
characteristics of life
cellular comp, organization, reproduction, homeostasis, metabolism: anabolism/excretion/catabolism, development: differentiation/growth, Evolution: mutations, responsiveness/movement: stimuli
Homeostasis
set point: average point
dynamic equilibrium: fluctuations
negative feedback
activation of mechanism that reverses or negates change
EXAMPLES: -thermostat
-body temp trying to heat up (vasoconstriction) or cooling off (vasodilation)
-person rises from bed and gets light headed
positive feedback
self amplifying
EXAMPLES: -pregnant uterus
-Fever >104°
Anatomical position
standing upright, arms extended, palms n toes facing forward
Anatomical planes
Imaginary flat surface passing through body
Anatomical section
actual cut or slice that reveals internal organs
Body regions
AXIAL: head/neck/trunk
thoracic region- above diaphragm
abdominal region- below diaphragm
APPENDICULAR: limbs
upper: brachial, antebrachial, carpool, manual, digits
lower: femoral, crural, tarsal, pedal, digit
cranial cavity
Brain line with meninges
Thoracic cavity
Pleural: around lungs Mediastinum: region between heart
pericardial: around the heart
What divides the thoracic cavity from abdominal cavity
Diaphragm
what divides the abdomen cavity from pelvic cavity
pelvic brim
abdominopelvic cavity
digestive organs, kidneys, ureters, urethra, rectum , urinary bladder, reproductive system, peritoneal cavity and fluid
Serous membranes
visceral lines organs
parietal lines cavities
peritoneum: abdominopelvic cavity
pericardium/pleural: thoracic cavity
potential spaces
found between two membranes pressed together firmly
- Pleural cavity
- Nonpregnant uterus
