  • Anatomy

    Study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.

  • Physiology

    Study of the function of body parts and how they carry out life-sustaining activities.

  • Principle of Complementarity

    Structure and function are inseparable; what a structure can do depends on its form.

  • Levels of Structural Organization

    Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organismal levels forming a hierarchy of complexity.

  • Homeostasis

    Maintenance of relatively stable internal conditions despite continuous environmental changes, regulated by receptor, control center, and effector.

  • Negative Feedback

    Response reduces or shuts off original stimulus to maintain homeostasis (e.g., body temperature regulation).

  • Positive Feedback

    Response enhances original stimulus (e.g., blood clotting).

  • Anatomical Position

    Body erect, feet slightly apart, palms facing forward, thumbs pointing away; standard reference for directional terms.

  • Superior (cranial)

    Toward the head or upper part of a structure; above (e.g., head is superior to abdomen).

  • Inferior (caudal)

    Away from the head or toward the lower part of a structure; below (e.g., navel is inferior to chin).

  • Anterior (ventral)

    Toward or at the front of the body (e.g., breastbone is anterior to spine).

  • Posterior (dorsal)

    Toward or at the back of the body (e.g., heart is posterior to breastbone).

  • Medial

    Toward or at the midline of the body (e.g., heart is medial to arm).

  • Lateral

    Away from the midline of the body (e.g., arms are lateral to chest).

  • Proximal

    Closer to the origin or point of attachment of a limb (e.g., elbow is proximal to wrist).

  • Distal

    Farther from the origin or point of attachment of a limb (e.g., knee is distal to thigh).

  • Superficial (external)

    Toward or at the body surface (e.g., skin is superficial to muscles).

  • Deep (internal)

    Away from the body surface; more internal (e.g., lungs are deep to skin).

  • Four Macromolecules of Life

    Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids; essential for structure, function, and information storage.

  • Cell Organelles and Functions

    Nucleus: genetic control; Mitochondria: ATP production; ER: protein/lipid synthesis; Golgi: packaging; Lysosomes: digestion; Peroxisomes: detoxification.

  • Stages of Mitosis

    Prophase: chromosomes condense; Metaphase: chromosomes align; Anaphase: chromatids separate; Telophase: nuclear envelopes reform; Cytokinesis: cytoplasm divides.

  • Epithelial Tissue Characteristics

    Polarity, specialized contacts, supported by connective tissue, avascular but innervated, high regeneration capacity.

  • Connective Tissue Components

    Cells, fibers (collagen, elastic, reticular), and ground substance forming extracellular matrix.

  • Types of Connective Tissue Proper

    Loose (areolar, adipose, reticular) and Dense (regular, irregular, elastic) connective tissues.

  • Muscle Tissue Types

    Skeletal: voluntary, striated; Cardiac: involuntary, striated; Smooth: involuntary, non-striated.

  • Nervous Tissue Components

    Neurons: conduct impulses; Supporting cells: support, insulate, protect neurons.

  • Body Cavities

    Dorsal (cranial, vertebral) and Ventral (thoracic, abdominal, pelvic) cavities housing major organs.

  • Abdominal Quadrants

    Right Upper (RUQ), Left Upper (LUQ), Right Lower (RLQ), Left Lower (LLQ); used to localize organs and symptoms.
