The 4 areas of anatomy include
histology - micro
gross anatomy - macro
neuroanatomy
embryology
What are the two things anatomy needs?
Form and Function
The human body is organized into 6 categories, what are they?
chemical level cellular level tissue level organ level organ system level organismal level
What are the two kinds of body division and explain what parts of the body?
Axial - Head, neck, spinal cord, trunk
Appendicular - limbs
what are the organ systems? (hint there are 11)
Integumentary - skin, hair, and nails (covers the body)
Skeletal - bones and joints of the body
Muscular - muscle, the skeletal and muscular systems work together to support and move the body
Nerves - brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body
Endocrine - glands that produce and secrete hormones, nervous and endocrine system work together in the integration and coordination
Digestive - starts at mouth ends at anus
Respiratory System - nose, air passageways, and lungs
Cardiovasuclar - blood, blood vessels, and heart
Lymphatic - immune system
Urinary - bladder, kidneys, urethra, uterus
all three systems above support each other in the transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and wastes
Reproductive - sexual maturation and procreation
what do you call your front and side of the body?
Anterior and Lateral
what are the two main cavities on your anterior side?
Thoracic and Abdominal
Directional terms
Superior and Inferior Anterior and Posterior Medial and Lateral Proximal and Distal Superficial and Deep (ex fat) (SKIN!!!) Parietal (first layer) and Visceral (second layer)
Plane and Sections of the body (hint there are 5)
Sagittal - is a vertical plane that divides the human body by left and right parts, when the sagittal plane passes through the midline body it is called midsagittal
Coronal(Frontal) - is a vertical plane that divides the body from anterior to posterior
Horizontal(transverse) - divides the body from superior to inferior horizontally
Oblique - the passes through the body at an angle
Longitudinal - both sagittal and coronal planes are examples of longitudinal planes
There are 4 basic tissues in the human body which are building blocks for every organ
epithelium
connective
muscular
nervous
what kinds of epithelium tissue are there? (hint there are 2)
covering - covers the external and internal surfaces
glandular - secrete and produce products
what kinds of characteristics does epithelium tissues has (hint there are 5)
cellularity - adjacent epithelial cells are joined by junctions, there are four junctions; tight, adhering, desmosomes, and gap
polarity - Apical surface; exposed to external or internal surfaces or Basal surface which is attached to the underlying tissues
attachment - rest on or attached to the basal lamina ( basement membrane )
avascularity - has no direct contact with blood vessels receives nutrients from underlying other types of tissues
regeneration - renewed constantly
Functions of epithelium tissue
support and protection - covers and lines external and internal parts of the body protecting the tissue
permeability (absorption in digestive system)
sensation (skin)
secretion (glandular cells)
protection (skin)
what are the three cell shapes (epithelium)
squamous - flat thin wide, irregular shape
cuboidal - nucleolus in the middle
columnar - rectangle shape, the nucleolus is oval is shape
cell organization
simple - only one cell layer thick
stratified - two or more cell layers thick
how do you name an epithelium tissue
simple squamous
simple squamous (where can they be found)
lining blood vessels, thin barrier allow rapid exchange
simple cuboidal (where can they be found)
lining some glands, glandular
simple columnar (where can they be found)
found in the gastrointestinal tract, for rapid exchange
stratified squamous (where can they be found)
makes up the superficial layers of ski, allows the protect deep layers of the skin
stratified cuboidal (where can they be found)
found in glands to secrete and produce and protection
stratified columnar (where they can be found)
male urethra, secretion and protection
The two other shapes of epithelium tissues
transitional - (multiple layers) allows for stretching, domed shape (relaxed) and flatten out (stretched)
pseudostratified (ciliated columnar) - (single layers) cilia, hair-like
connective tissue (what are the three kinds of ct)
-most widespread and abundant tissue in the human body
loose, dense regular, dense irregular
functions of the ct
support and protection - bones around the skull protect the brain, kidneys are surrounded by fat \
structural framework - cartilage supports nose, ear, trachea and bones provided framework for skeletal muscles
medium for exchange - blood carries supplies
storage and repair - bones store calcium and fat stores a vast energy source
defence - physical barrier basically fights with the immune system and helps it
components of ct
cells - fixed (permanent) or wandering
fibres - elastic ( thin, branched, rubber-like ), collagen (most abundant, strengthens, like a rope), and reticular (thin)
ground substances - high water content, transparent, thick, and in between the fibres and cells
what are the types of connective tissues ( 3 types)
ct proper
supporting ct
specialized (fluid) ct
ct proper
loose ct - more ground substances ct with a few fibres(ex adipose tissue)
dense ct - less groud substances and more elastic fibres
supporting ct
bone - framework of the body
cartilage - structural component
specialized (fluid) ct
blood
lymph
what is cartilage
firm tissue, found in joints to allow moveable bones, between the vertebrae in the spine, ears, nose, and bronchi tubules
what are the components of cartilage
ground substances - firm gel that makes cartilage solid
fibres - collagen or elastic
cells - are called chondrocytes located in lacunae that contain one or more cells
perichondrium - dense irregular ct, that provides cartilage with nutrients
lacunae - a small space in cartilage that houses chondrocytes one or more
what types of cartilage are there? (hint there are 3 kinds)
Hyaline - meant to bear and distribute weight, very strong rubber and flexible tissue, joints, walls, nose, trachea, rib
fibrocartilage - tough and inflexible, resistant, intervertebral discs, symphysis pubis
elastic - very flexible, (eustachian tube) connects ear to nose, epiglottis,
Bone functions
support locomotion protection blood cell production mineral metabolism
