Inspection
Just looking
Palpating
Touching
Auscultation
Listening
Percussion
Tapping and listening
Gross anatomy
Study of what is visible to the naked eye
Histology
Study of stuff under 1mm using microscope
Histopathology
Tissue under microscope looking for disease
Physiology
Study of function
Comparative physiology
Looking at other animals to see learn more about a humans
Systems: how many and main organs/functions
11
Integumentary like skin for water retention and thermo regulation
Skeletal - bones for structure
Lymphatic - nodes for like immune system
Reproductive - sex organs for making babies
Muscular - skeletal muscles for movement
Respiratory - pharynx larynx trachea breathing
Urinary - bladder and kidneys getting rid of waste
Nervous - brain and spinal chord for regulation and communication
Endocrine - glands for hormones
Circulatory - hheart and blood vessels
Digestive - stomach, intestines etc
Hierarchy
Organism Organ system Organ Tissue Cell Organelle Molecule Atom
Situs Inversus
When the body organs are switched right to left
Standard man/woman
Man 22 year old male 154lbs light physical activity Consumes 2800 cal Woman 22 128 2000
Characteristics of life
Organized Cell(s) Metabolism Responsiveness Reproduce Develop Evolve Homeostasis
Legal vs clinical death
Legal- is like no heart beat or breathing or reflexes
Clinical - is when all cells are dead cuz organs could be alive when u are “dead”
Homeostasis, def and mechanisms
Maintenance of internal conditions despite outside environment
Mostly endocrine and nervous system
Sensor/receptor like stretch thing above heart
Integrating/control center - cardiac center of brain
Effector/corrector - Heart mixing it up
Negative feedback loop def and example
To oppose change and maintain HS
Sweating to oppose overheating
Shivering
Standing up too fast makes you light headed cuz gravity but the brain is like SOS and the heart pumps faster
Positive feedback loop
Self amplifying and usually harmful for body
Like if your bleeding out your heart beats faster to make up for low BP but then you bleed out faster RIP
But good for birth cuz head against cervix makes oxytocin released which causes uterine contraction repeat till escape
Two Major regions
Axial - head (cephalic), neck (cervical), Trunk (thoracic and abdominal
Appendicular - upper and lower limbs
Look at pics of body maps for regions and parts
Rip
Abdominal cavity membranes
Peritoneum is outer edge
Mesentry is inner?
How many elements important
24
Major element names and percent
Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Calcium phosphorous Oxygen
98.5
