Lab exercise 2

• Introduction

2
The human organism

• The study of anatomy and physiology go hand in
  hand
• Anatomy is the study of structure (what it looks
  like)
• Physiology is the study of function (what is
  does)
• This lab begins your journey as you discover what
  the structures and functions are and how they are
  interrelated to your overall well-being.

Major body cavities-Procedure A

• http//www.studystack.com/flashcard-2851
• Your task is to learn the names of the major body
  cavities and divisions within them AND what
  organs lie within
• You will also learn the names of the layers of
  serous membrane that line these cavities

4
Procedure B Organ Systems

• The human body has 11 organ systems, but none of
  them function independently.
• Organ systems are composed of more than one cell
  type

• http//peer.tamu.edu/curriculum_modules/OrganSyste
  ms/index.htm
• Your task is to know the 11 organ systems and be
  able to recognize which organ goes into which
  system (and which cavity)

5
Procedure C-Relative position and directional
terms

• What is the Anatomical position?

  pdf
• Directional terms and/or relative position is
  useful for providing uniformity in describing the
  locations of one body part to another

Procedure C-Planes and Sections

• The body can be divided into 3 planes
• The horizontal (transverse) plane divides the
  body into superior and inferior sections
• The sagittal plane divides the body into left and
  right sections (mid-sagittal is equal sides,
  para-sagittal is unequal sides)
• The coronal (frontal) plane divides the body into
  anterior and posterior sections
• Why should you care about this?

Procedure C-Regions and Quadrants

• The abdominopelvic area is divided into 9 regions
  or 4 quadrants
• http//www.quia.com/ws/482717.html
• http//www.studystack.com/studytable-23979
• http//www.studystack.com/studytable-23552
• Your task is to learn both types of organization
  and recognize the main organs found in each
• Why do I care? Once again this helps the
  physician to pinpoint a patients particular
  complaint. (pain in lower right quadrant could
  indicate an appendicitis)

Quizzes

• At the end of each lab period you will have a
  quiz over the material you have worked on that
  day.
• Its a good idea to plan ahead and have the lab
  exercises done before class.
• Each quiz is a total of 10 points. You will have
  10 or 11 of these (depending on the length of the
  semester). They count as a test grade. If the
  semester is long enough for 11 quizzes you will
  be able to drop one quiz.
