Unit 1: Levels of Organization

 

Chapter 1: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology

1) anatomy

 

2) physiology

 

3) 10 major living processes ( respiration, digestion, absorption, circulation, excretion, growth, reproduction, responsiveness, assimilation, and movement)

 

4) 5 major living requirements ( water, nutrients, oxygen, heat and pressure)

 

5) homeostasis

 

6) negative feedback

 

7) levels of organization ( atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs, systems, organism)

 

8) Body cavities

-axial : ventral

thoracic cavity ( pleural cavity, mediastinum, pericardial cavity)

abdominopelvic cavity ( abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity)

-axial: dorsal

cranial cavity

vertebral canal

 

9) Surrounding membranes

-pleural ( parietal pleura, pleural cavity, visceral pleura)

-pericardial ( parietal pericardium, pericardial cavity, visceral pericardium)

-peritoneal ( parietal peritoneum, peritoneal cavity, visceral peritoneum)

 

10) Organ systems ( integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, digestive system, respiratory system, urinary system, reproductive system

 

11) Anatomical positions

-superior and inferior

-anterior and posterior

-medial and lateral

-proximal and superficial

-superficial and deep

 

12) Anatomical body regions

-sagittal region

-transverse region

-coronal region

 

Chapter 2: Chemistry of the Body
