Lecture 1 Flashcards
is the study of body structure and their relationship
Anatomy
What are the major subdivision of anatomy
Gross anatomy
Microscopic anatomy
Developmental Anatomy
Focuses on structure that are visible to the naked eye such as the organs, muscles, and other large body parts
Gross Anatomy
explores cellular and subcellular structures
Microscopic Anatomy
investigate changes in structure as an organism grows and develops
Developmental anatomy
focuses on understanding how body parts function
Physiology
What does from = to
anatomy
is the structure or the unique architecture of each body
form/anatomy
Function = to what
physiology
Indicate the 6 Major level in the organization in human (simplest to complex)
- Chemical Level
- Cellular level
- Tissue Level
- Organ Level
- Organ System Level
- Organismal Level
Atom combine to form molecule
Chemical Level
individual cells, which are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms
Cellular Level
groups of similar cells working together to perform a specific function
Tissue level
multiple tissues formed into a structure(organ) that performs a specific function
Organ level
2 equal or more organs working together to perform the functions of a body system
Organ System Level
entire living organism as a whole, working to maintain life
Organismal Level
Describe the anatomical position
The body is erect, Facing forward
Palms facing forward and thumbs out
Feet parallel
posterior (dorsal)
Towards the back
Anterior (ventral)
towards the front
Suprior
Towards the top
Inferior
Towards the bottom
Lateral
Towards the side
Medial
Towards the middle
Proximal
closer to the point of attachment of a limb
Distal
farther from the origins or the point of attachment
Superficial
situated on the surface
deep
situated towards the inside
What are the three planes
- Transverse plane
- Frontal Plane or Coronal Plane
- Sagittal or Vertical
What is transverse plane
splits body into superior or inferior
What is sagittal plane
splits body into left or right
What is para sagittal
Unqeual parts
What is mid sagittal
equal parts
What is frontal plane?
Splits body into anterior and posterior
difference between plane and section
Plane = imaginary like along the body
Section - actual slice made along the plane
What are the two major cavities
Dorsal body Cavity
Ventral Body cavity
Purpose of cavaties
protection of the internal organs
What does the Dorsal Body Cavity consist of and explain
Cranial cavity - contains brain
Vertebral cavity - contains spinal cord
What does the Ventral Cavity contain and explain
Thoracic cavity - contains heart and lungs
Abdominal Cavity - contains digestive organs
Pelvic cavity - contains bladder, reproductive organs and rectum
