Anatomy/Physiology 1

QuestionAnswer
Importance of Studying A/P
Basic study skills
define anatomy and physiology
Explain the significance of Terminologia anatomica
Relationship between Anatomy and Physiology
Various specialties in Anatomy and Physiology
Identify Major levels of organization from simplest to most complex - page 8-9
Identify major components of each organ system
Homeostasis
Negative feedback and positive feedback- homeostasis
Significance of homeostasis
Use anatomical terms to describe body sections, body regions and relative positions
Identify the major Body cavities, their subdvisions, and functions of each
The visible Human project- page 6 It talks about study of human body, one slice at a time, using the body of condemned criminal Joseph Paul Jernigan in Texas as basis for a "virtual male". His images are scattered throughout our textbook for our study.
Homeostasis and Disease- page 12 Understanding normal homeostatic mechanisms helps one to understand signs(objective/measurable) and symptoms ( subjective). If outside the normal internal limits, Disease occurs, as these effects become so severe that the body can't compensate for them.
Structural features of the epidermis- and explain the functional significance of each
What accounts for individual differences in Skin color
Response of melanocytes to sunlight exposure
Interaction between Sunlight and vitamin D3 production
Describe the Roles of epidermal growth factor EGF
Describe Dermis- Structure and function
Describe Hypodermis- Structure and function
Mechanism that produces hair
structural basis for hair texture and color
Glands in the skin- list secretions of those glands
Anatomical structure of nails
How nails are formed
How skin responds to injury
Effects of aging on skin
Skin cancer- p 151 1. Actinic keratosis a scaly area on sun damaged skin. Not sign of skin cancer 2. Basal cell carcinoma- most common skin cancer NO METASTASIS) 3. Squamous cell carcinoma is less common ( occurs with sun damage)SELDOM metastasizes ABCDE skin Cancer malignant melanoma Asymmetry- IRREGULAR,RAISED,bleeds Border- irregular, NOTCHED Color- MOTTLED tan, brown, black, pink, white, blue Diameter- > 5 mm DIAMETER. Evolution/elevation Risk - fair skinned, exposure as a child
Decubitus Ulcer- p154 or bedsores affect patients whose circulation is restricted, affects both epidermis & dermis, kills epidermal cells tissue destruction opens risk infection, prevent by frequent position changes
Liposuction - p 155 diet and lifestyle modifications is better subcutaneous adipose tissue is removed through a tube after liposuction, skin is loose fitting, a tight fitting garment is worn until it recoils so its temporary fix bc adipose tissue will repair itself, and areolar tissue converts to adipose-
Burns and grafts - p163
Skin abnormalities -p164
Types of tissues - 4
Types of tissues - describe their roles
types and functions of Epithelial tissue
Describe the relationship between form and function for each type of epithelium
types of Connective tissue- compare Structure and function
Describe how Cartilage and bone function as supporting connecting tissue
Explain how epithelial and connective tissue combine and form four types of tissue membranes, specify functions of each
Describe how connective tissue establishes the framework of the body
three types of muscle tissue, structural features of each
Neural tissue- structure and role
Describe how injuries affect the tissues of the body
Describe how aging affects the tissues of the body
Exfoliative cytology- p 115
Marfan's syndrome p 123 most dangerous possibility is it causes weak elastic tissues in walls of major arteries, such as the aorta, which may burst causing fatal loss of blood inherited condition caused by production of weak form of fibrillin, a glycoprotein that impacts strength and elasticity of connective tissues Tall/long limbs and finger affects cardiovascular system- structural abnormalities in 90% of people
Problems with serous membranes p 133
tissue repair p 139
Essay Chap1 Name the two upper abdominal quadrant and list ALL organs that lie in each Right upper quadrant (RUQ)and left upper quadrant (LUQ)
Essay Chap1 Right upper quadrant (RUQ) D RRUGSS CAP 9 + 2 common BILE DUCT, portion of stomach/intestines Duodenum Right Liver - lobe Right kidney - upper lobe Gallbladder w biliary tree, common bile duct Section of the Ascending colon Section of the transverse colon Colon- Hepatic flexure Adrenal gland- Right Pancreas- Head
Essay Chap1 Left upper quadrant (LUQ) 10 CAPSULE SSS Colon- Splenic flexure Adrenal gland- Left Pancreas- Body Spleen Upper left lobe of kidney Liver- left lobe Esophagus- lower section Section of transverse colon Section of descending colon Stomach
Essay Chap4 What type of epithelium do you expect to find lining the alveoli(air sacs) in the lungs A flat thin single layer, known as simple squamous epithelium. it helps with gas exchange via diffusion. Any other arrangement would create a thicker barrier.
Essay chap 5 why is subcutaneous injection with a hypodermic needle a useful method of administering drugs? avascular, few capillaries, superficial fascia ( fatty layer), slow absorption, minimal damage It is the layer of skin directly below the dermis and epidermis, has superficial fascia ( loose connective tissue),a fatty layer with little blood flow, medication absorbs slowly here,sometimes over 24 hours with no damage to muscles or vital organs.
