chap 1 worksheet

Anatomy and physiology reading and study guide for chapter 1, simplified. Assignment: Read and outline chapter 1. Read the chapter objectives first so that you have an idea of what the most important themes will be. Because this is a college level text, the vocabulary is very dense and there is a great amount of information presented at once. Many of the details are beyond the scope of this course so I do not expect you to learn all of them but would like you to be exposed to all of them by reading it at least once. The following is a list of things that I believe are the highlights of the chapter that we should all learn. As you read and outline you should focus on answering the following questions and defining the following terms. (Page #s are in parenthesis) What are the 5 characteristics of living things? (p. 3) How are single celled organisms different than multiple celled organisms? (p. 4a) What are the 11 organ systems and their primary functions (not required to know all the organs yet)? (p. 8-13) Define or answer the following questions.  Anatomy (p. 4b) Physiology Cytology (p. 4d) Histology (p. 5a) Gross anatomy (p. 5a) Microscopic anatomy (p. 4d) Pathlogy (p. 5) Metabolism (p. 3d) Radiographic anatomy (22-23) Appendicular Axial Positions (16d)                                                               i.      Anatomical                                                             ii.      Supine                                                           iii.      Prone Directional terms on table 1-2, page 20                                                               i.      Anterior                                                             ii.      Posterior                                                           iii.      Ventral                                                           iv.      Dorsal                                                             v.      Superior                                                           vi.      Inferior                                                         vii.      Medial                                                       viii.      Distal                                                           ix.      Lateral                                                             x.      Proximal                                                           xi.      Caudal                                                         xii.      cephalic                                                       xiii.      Cranial                                                       xiv.      Superficial                                                         xv.      Deep     Body cavities                                                               i.      Ventral 1.      Thoracic (21) 2.      diaphragm (20, 21) 3.      Abdominopelvic (22)   Planes of section (and related directional terms above)(p.20)                                                               i.      Transverse                                                             ii.      Frontal/coronal                                                           iii.      Sagittal/midsagittal Levels of organization (chemical to organism) (p. 5) Homeostatic regulation, why is it important? (p. 7)   What is the difference between X-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds? (23)   In addition, you should learn the regions of the body in table 1-1, page 16, and the anatomical landmarks in figure 1-6, page 17.
