Regional Anatomy
ex. Thoracic Cavity
Landmarks
projection of a bone
Microscopic Anatomy
"does this part of the kidney have cancer?"
Anatomy
study of the Structures of the body
Physiology
study of the functions of the body
Functional Anatomy
anatomy that emphasizes the structural characteristics of a body part that contribute to its function
Gross Anatomy
what we can see
Systemic Anatomy
ex. Cardiovascular system, Respiratory system
Surface Anatomy
Landmarks
Integumentary System
hair, skin, + glands. protects deeper tissues. synthesizes vitamin D and houses cutaneous receptors (pain, pressure, etc.), sweat, and oil glands
Skeletal System
"protector". protects and supports body organs and provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement. blood cells are formed within the bones and the bones store minerals.
Muscular System
allows manipulations of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression. maintains posture and produces heat.
Nervous System
"control center". activates appropriate muscles and glands.
Endocrine System
"communication system". glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells.
Lymphatic System
"immunity". houses white blood cells, picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood. disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream.
Respiratory System
supplies O2 to blood and removes CO2.
Digestive System
breaks down food
Urinary System
"eliminator". eliminates waste from the body and regulates water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of the blood.
Male + Female Reproductive System
Males: testes produce sperm --> male sex hormones. Female: ovaries produces eggs and female sex hormones. Mammary glands produce milk.

Coronal/Frontal Plane
divides the body into anterior and posterior portions
Horizontal/Transverse Plane
divides the body into superior and inferior portions
Sagittal Plane
divides body into right and left sides
Midsagittal Plane
divides body into equal right and left sides
Parasagittal Plane
divides body into unequal right and left sides
Dorsal Body Cavities
crania, vertebral canal (spinal cavity)
Ventral Body Cavities
thoracic, abdominopelvic
Cranial Cavity
formed by the cranial bones, contains and protects the brain
Vertebral Canal
formed by bones of the vertebral column, contains and protects the spinal cord
Meninges
layers of protective tissue that line the cranial cavity and vertebral canal
Mucous Membranes
lines cavities that are OPEN to the outside environment. cells secrete mucous. examples are oral and nasal cavities, vagina, and anus
Serous Membranes
lines cavities that are CLOSED to the outside environments. cells secrete serous fluid. examples are thoracic and abdominal cavities
Visceral Layer
touches the organ
Parietal Layer
touches the body wall
Pleura
serosae associated with the lungs
Pericardium
serosae associated with the heart
Peritoneum
serosae associated with the abdominal viscera
Basic Cellular Function
replicate/regenerate/repair, obtain and use nutrients, dispose of wastes
Main Structural Components of a Cell
plasma membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm
Phospholipids
amphipathic, dynamic, creates framework for plasma membrane, makes up 75% of membrane lipids
Amphipathic
water loving and hating at the same time
Cholesterol
found among the lipids tails of bilayer, only found in animal cells, structural integrity of plasma membrane
Glycolipids
only found in layer facing extracellular fluid. cellular adhesion and recognition.
Glyco
sugar
How many membrane proteins are there?
two. integral and peripheral
Integral Proteins
imbedded in the bilayer. extends across both layers. acts as transportors and channels
Peripheral Proteins
do not extend across membrane, easily separated from membrane
Principle Functions of the Plasma Membrane
1. protective barrier 2. cellular communications 3. regulates movement of substances in and out
Simple Diffusion
lipid soluble molecules go straight through
Osmosis
diffusion of water through the lipid bilayer
Facilitated Diffusion
water soluble molecules pass through an integral protein that allows it to diffuse through the bilayer
Active Transport
requires energy to help solute move through phospholipid bilayer
Endocytosis
uses vesicles to enter the cell. three types: phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor mediated endocytosis
Phagocytosis
"cell eating"
Pinocytosis
"cell drinking"
Receptor-mediated endocytosis
proteins act as receptors
Exocytosis
vesicles to exit the cell
