  • Characteristics of Living Organisms

    Cellular composition, metabolism (anabolism and catabolism), growth, excretion, responsiveness, movement, and reproduction.

  • Levels of Structural Organization

    Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism levels, each building on the previous.

  • Types of Anatomy

    Gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, histology, and cytology.

  • Anatomical Position

    Body standing upright, facing forward, arms at sides with palms forward, feet flat and directed forward.

  • Regional Terms for the Body

    Terms like cranial, cervical, thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, and limb regions used to describe specific body areas.

  • Planes of Section

    Sagittal (divides left and right), frontal (divides front and back), and transverse (divides top and bottom) planes.

  • Body Cavities

    Includes cranial, vertebral, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities that protect internal organs.

  • Serous Membranes

    Membranes lining body cavities and covering organs, e.g., pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal membranes.

  • Core Principles in Anatomy & Physiology

    Feedback loops, structure-function relationship, gradients, cell-cell communication, and homeostasis.

  • Negative Feedback Loop

    Mechanism that reverses a change to maintain homeostasis, e.g., temperature regulation.

  • Positive Feedback Loop

    Mechanism that amplifies a change, e.g., blood clotting or childbirth contractions.

  • Integumentary System Functions

    Protects body, controls temperature, produces vitamin D, and retains water.

  • Skeletal System Functions

    Supports body, protects organs, provides leverage for movement, produces blood cells, and stores calcium salts.

  • Muscular System Functions

    Produces movement, controls body openings, and generates heat.

  • Nervous System Functions

    Body functions control, sensation, movement, automatic functions, and mental activities via nerves and brain.

  • Endocrine System Functions

    Regulates body functions through hormones secreted by glands like thyroid, adrenal, and pancreas.

  • Cardiovascular System Functions

    Transports blood, nutrients, gases, and wastes; pumps blood via heart and vessels.

  • Lymphatic System Functions

    Returns excess tissue fluid to blood, provides immunity, and protects against disease.

  • Respiratory System Functions

    Delivers oxygen to blood, removes carbon dioxide, and maintains acid-base balance.

  • Digestive System Functions

    Digests food, absorbs nutrients, removes waste, and maintains fluid and acid-base balance.

  • Urinary System Functions

    Removes metabolic wastes, balances fluids and electrolytes, and stabilizes blood pH.

  • Reproductive System Functions

    Produces and transports gametes, secretes hormones, and supports fetal development (female).

  • Anatomical Directions

    Terms like anterior/posterior, superior/inferior, medial/lateral, proximal/distal describe body location.

  • Abdominal Quadrants and Regions

    Four quadrants (RUQ, LUQ, RLQ, LLQ) and nine regions used to locate organs precisely.

  • Gradient Principle

    Movement from higher to lower concentration, pressure, or temperature drives many physiological processes.

  • Cell-Cell Communication

    Occurs via chemical and electrical signals to coordinate body functions.
