Chapter 1 Anatomical planes: their names, sections they divide the body into Frontal (coronal): front and back Median (midsaggital): right and left Transverse: top and bottom Body cavities: names and what they contain Dorsal (brain and spinal cord) Cranial (brain only) Vertebral (spinal) (spinal cord only) Ventral Cavity (neck privates) Thoracic (chest)- Mediastinum (esophagus, thymus, trachea)- Pleural (lungs)- Pericardial (heart) Abdominopelvic (peritoneal) - Abdominal (liver, spleen, stomach, sm./lg. intestines, gallbladder)- Pelvic (bladder, genitalia)- Retroperitoneal (touch body’s back wall) (kidney, pancreas, adrenal glands, duodenum, inferior vena cava) Mediastinum (upper portion of ventral body cavity) Heart can be in this Most specifically the heart is in the pericardial The heart will be part of the mediastinum when with the trachea, esophagus, larynx, and thyroid Diaphragm: skeletal muscle between the thoracic and abdominopelvic Directional terms: Superior/inferior: upper/lower Anterior/posterior: front/back Ventral/dorsal: front/back Proximal/distal: closer to the point of attachment/further from the point of attachment Superficial/deep: closer to the surface/further from the surface Medial/lateral: midline/far from center Homeostasis: define, name and describe components of homeostatic regulatory mechanisms (receptors, control center, effectors, pathways) Maintenance of stable internal conditions Despite changing external conditions Staying the same stable You have physiological things that help return to homeostasis Dynamic equilibrium Environmental disturbance… homeostatic mechanism 1) Stimulus produces change in variable- ex) body temp increases when we run 2) Receptor detects change 3) Input: information sent along afferent pathway to control center- Afferent: approach the control center Control center 4) Output: information sent along efferent pathway to effector- Efferent: exit the control center 5) Response of effector feeds back to reduce the effect of stimulus and returns variable to homeostatic level Positive and negative feedback mechanisms: characteristics and examples Negative feedback Response reduces or shuts off stimulus Regulation of body temp by negative feedback mechanism Responds to change consistency Blood clotting, production of milk, contraction of uterus - Ex) insulin tells cells to take up more glucose, dropping glucose levels- Ex) body temp increase too much, or dropping too low, sweat glands or shivering… opposes the reaction Positive feedback Response enhances original stimulus Summary of positive feedback mechanism regulating formation of plateletplug Blood clotting: get tear of blood vessel, platelets release chemicals that getmore platelets, and they clump to plug tear. Labor contractions Human organ systems: just know names for now Integumentary system (hair, skin) Skeletal system (bones, joint) Muscular system (skeletal muscles) Nervous system (brain, spinal cord, nerves) Endocrine system (pineal gland, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, thymus, adrenal gland, pancreas, ovary, testis) Cardiovascular system (heart, blood vessels) Lymphatic system/immunity (red bone marrow, thymus, lymphatic vessels, thoracic duct, spleen, lymph nodes) Respiratory system (nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lung, bronchus) Digestive system (oral cavity, esophagus, liver, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus) Urinary system (kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra) Regions of the abdominopelvic cavity and what is located within them Regions Hypochondriac | Epigastric | Hypochondriac Lumbar | Umbilical | Lumbar Iliac (inguinal) | Hypogastric | Iliac (inguinal) Standard anatomical positionChapter 2 Atoms Composition of matter = atoms Proton: have mass and electrical charge (+) Neutron: have mass and no electrical charge (neutral) Electron: have tiny mass and electrical charge (-) Nucleus = protons + neutrons- In the center- Have an anatomic cloud- Atoms are electrically neutral Always have equal number of electrons and neutrons They want to be stable Atomic structure The anatomy of atoms, structure of an atom determines its function Identifying elements (atomic #, mass #, isotopes, etc) Atomic number = number of protons Mass number= protons + neutrons Isotopes: alternate forms of atoms that differ in number of neutrons Radioisotopes: have large unstable nuclei; atoms need to be stable- C14 is a radioisotope __> emits subatomic particles in order to be stable - EX)-- Half-life: amount of times it takes for half of radioactive isotopes to decay Atomic weight: reflects average mass of an atom 4 elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen) make up 96% of body weight Chemical Bonds Come together by the interaction of electrons Electron shells: organized around the nucleus Can have up to 7 electron shells Can hold max number of electrons Valence shell: most outside shell- Determine chemical properties and kinds of atoms it can make 1st=2, 2nd=8, 3rd=18, 4th=32, 5th=50- 2(n)^2 n=number of electron shell general formula for how many electrons in an electron shell ex) 2(1)^2 2(1) 2 Rule of 8: stable with 8 or if number it is allowed - Ex) 3rd is stable with 8 or 18- Except the 1st one is only stable with 2 Covalent bonds: electrons shared between atoms, in order to achieve stability(octet rule) Electrons shared- Single (pairs), double (2 pairs), triple (3 pairs of electrons) bonds- If 2 atoms share 2 pairs of electrons = double covalent bond and so on Ex) oxygen atom + oxygen atom = molecule of oxygen gas (O2) or O=O (structural formed shoed double bonds) Reacting atoms = resulting molecules Polar vs. Non-polar - One has partial (-) and one has partial (+) H+ --- O- --- H+ polar covalent (one end has positive and other has negative) O=C=O nonpolar covalent Ionic Bonds Formed when valence electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another- Cations (+) = atom that loses electrons- Anions (-) = atom that gains electrons Ex) sodium ion (Na+) and chloride ion (Cl-) = sodium chloride (NaCl) Opposites attract Hydrogen bonds
