What are the levels of human structures? And explain them.
- Organism (completely individual, can function on it’s own)
- Organ systems (A group of organs that do specific functions)
- Organs (composed of two or more tissue types)
- Tissues (A mass of similar cells that work together to do a specific function)
- Cells (Smallest living unit)
- Organelles (Small structures in a cell that carry out specific functions in the cell)
- Molecules (Particles of at least 2 atoms that are chemically bonded)
- Atoms ( you know this already on the slides though)
Name the 11 Organ systems
- Skeletal system
- Muscular system
- Nervous system
- Endocrine system
- Circulatory system
- Lymphatic system
- Respiratory system
- Digestive system
- Urinary system
- reproductive system
- Integumentary system
What is the definition of Anatomy?
Anatomy is structure, The structural basis of body functions and other things
What is the definition of Physiology?
Physiology is function, The function that is relevant to a specific structure
What is the definition of morphology?
It is the shape or form of a structure
What is the definition of Gross Anatomy?
The study of body structures visible to the naked eye
What is the definition of Histology Anatomy?
Observing structures under the microscope
What is the definition of ultrastructural anatomy?
Structures at the subcellular to molecular level
What is the definition of surface anatomy?
External structure of the body (physical exams on a patient)
What is the definition of regional anatomy?
systems at once in that specific region
What is the definition of radiological anatomy?
Use of X rays
What is the definition of systemic anatomy?
Study of one organ system at one time
What is the Retroperitoneal?
outside the peritoneum, which is covered by peritoneum on the one side facing the peritoneal cavity
What are the Retroperitoneal organs?
kidneys, ureters, adrenal glands, most of the pancreas, and the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava
What is the function of the Skeletal system
Support, movement, mineral storage,
What is the function of the Muscular system
movement, stability, heat production, communication
What is the function of the Nervous system
motor control, rapid internal communication, motor control
What is the function of the Endocrine system
hormone production
What is the function of the Circulatory system
distributes nutrients
What is the function of the Lymphatic system
detection of pathogens, production of immune cells
What is the function of the Respiratory system
absorbs oxygen and gets rid of CO2
What is the function of the Digestive system
nutrients breakdown and absorption, metabolism
What is the function of the Urinary system
elimination of waste, regulation of blood volume and pressure
What is the function of the Integumentary system
Protection, water retention, produce vitamin D, thermoregulation
