Anatomy
Study of Structure
microscopic anatomy
stuctures not visible to the unaided eye

Structual organization of the body (hierarchy)
(chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism level)
Atoms- smalles unit of matter
Molecules- 2 or more atoms combined (H2O)
Cells-large molecules joined in a specific way
Tissues-groups of similar cells with a common funtion
Organs- contain 2 or more tissue types that work together to perform specific, complex functions
organism-
Characteristics of living things
Organization- structure & order
Metabolism- chemical RXN
Growth & development-
Responsiveness- to changes
Regulation-homeostasis
Reproduction-produce new cells
Integumentary System
Hair, skin, and associated glands

provides protection, regilates body temp., site of cutaneous receptors, sysnthesizes vit. D, prevents H2O loss
Skeletal System
Upper and Lower limb bones, skull, knee joint Sternum, rib, cartilage, vertebrae, sacrum

provides support and protection, site of hemopoiesis (blood cell production), stores Ca & P, allows body movement
Muscular System
Sartorius, frontalis, pectoralis major muscles, aponeurosis, tendons

produces body movement, generates heat when muscles contract
Nervous System
Sense organ (eye), CNS, PNS, spinal cord, peripheral nerves

regulatory system that controls body movement, responds to senory stimuli, helps control all other systems of the body. responsible for consciousness, intellignece, memory
Endocrine System
Hypothalmus, pineal body, pituitary, thyrois, parathyroid, thymus, adrenals, pancreas, kidney, testes, ovaries

consists of glands and cell clusters that secrete hormones, some which regulate body and cellular growth, chemical levels in the body, & reproduction functions
Cardiovascular System
Capillaries, heart, veins, arteries

consists of a pump (<3)that moves blood through blood vessels in order to distribute hormones, nutrients, & gases, & pick up waste products
Lymphatic system
Tonsils, thymus, thoracic duct, cervical LN, axillary LN, spleen, inguinal LN, popliteal LN, lymphatic vessel

transports and filters lymph (interstitial fluid) & initiates response when necessary
Respiratory system
Nasal cavity, nose, trachea, bronchi, lungs, pharynx (throat), larynx

responsible for the exchane of gases (O2, CO2) between blood & the air in the lungs
digestive system
oral cavity (mouth), salivary glands, esophagus, liver stomach, large and small Intestine

mechanically and chemically digests food materials, absobs nutrients, and expels waste products
Urinary system
kidney, bladder, urethra, ureter

filters blood and removes waste products from the blood, concentrates waste products in the form of urine and expels urine from the body
Male Reproductive system
ductus deferens, prostate gland, urethra, testis, scrotum, seminal vesicle, epididymis, penis

produes male sex cells (sperm) and male hormones (testosterone), tranfers sperm to the female
Female reproductive system
mammary glands, ovary, uterus, vagina, urerine tube, external genitalia (clitoris, labia)

produces femal sex cells (oocytes) and femal hormones (estrogen), receives sperm from male, site of fertilization of oocyte, site of growth and devlopment of embryo & fetus
Anatomic Position
specific body position in which an individual stands upright w/ the feet parallel and flat on the floor. arms are at eight side with the palms facing forward.
