Understanding Body Structure and Organization

Hello class! Chapter two Chapter two, hopefully you learned a lot in chapter one and remember this just continues to build so if you don't have a good grasp of chapter one then you need to go back and make sure because. You've got to build on each chapter, don't skip around stay systematic, stay disciplined. Now chapter two terms pertaining to the body as a whole. So what's our goals, to find terms that apply to the structural organization of the body identify the body cavities and recognize the organs contained within these cavities locate and identify the anatomical and clinical divisions of the body locate and name the anatomical divisions of the back become acquainted with terms that describe positions directions and planes of the body identify the meanings for new word elements and use them to understand medical terms lesson 2.1 structural organization and body cavities define terms that apply to the structural organization of the body identify the body cavities and recognize the organs contained within those cavities locate and identify the anatomic and clinical divisions of the body so the structural organization of the body well we start off with cells now in order to get cells we are actually a whole bunch of atoms and molecules so a whole bunch of atoms and molecules make up cells a whole bunch of cells make up tissues a bunch of tissues make organs a bunch of organs make systems on organ systems and a whole bunch of organ systems make a beautiful creature such as yourself so we'll break this down a little bit but knowing the level of human organization is always important so cell is the fundamental unit of all living things major parts of the cell include chromosomes remember you have 46 chromosomes 23 from mama 23 from papa nucleus is like the brain of the cell cell membrane i like to call that the bouncer of the cell it lets certain people in and that actually lets certain things out so the cell membrane cytoplasm is some fluid that we the organelles sit in mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell an endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and there's rough and smooth that certain molecules and proteins to process and go through again this is not an anatomy or biology class so i don't expect you to know all that but we are going to know the wording behind it so remember medical terminology we just want to know what the words mean not really the anatomy and physiology of the parts all right so if you look at the cell there's the cell membrane there's the nucleus the brain the chromosomes remember there's 46 cytoplasm is where the organelles sit here's the little ribosomes which make proteins endoplasmic reticulum which are the network of tubules and mitochondria which are the powerhouse of the cell okay study section one we're going to talk about anabolism catabolism cell membrane chromosomes cytoplasm dna endoplasmic genes keratite metabolism mitochondria and the nucleus make sure you know what all those mean cells are specialized to carry out individual functions there's types of cells include the muscle cell a nerve cell epithelial cell and a fat cell here's the interesting note here a side note for human anatomy did you know that all human beings essentially have the same number of fat cells it's just the size is different varies so same thing with skin color we have the same number of melanocytes which are cells in the skin but the amount of melanin which is the color of your skin varies so really it's just the amount of melanin that determines skin color nothing else the type of cells muscle cell nerve cell epithelial cell and here's a fat cell we're always finding ways how do we get rid of these suckers huh tissues tissue is a group of similar cells working together do a specific job organs different types of tissues combine to form an organ and systems group of organs working together to perform a complex function so see how it builds on each other so here's a cell a bunch of cells make up tissues bunch of tissues make up an organ a bunch of organs make up a system what is adipose tissue what's cartilage epithelials what's a histologist larynx pharynx pituitary land thyroid gland trachea ureter urethra uterus viscera make sure you know where those are in the body and what these mean body cavities are spaces within the body that contain internal organs of viscera and include cranial thoracic abdominal pelvic and the spinal cavity so if you look at this the cranial cavity well what do you think sits in the cranial cavity the brain here's the pituitary gland okay here's the thoracic cavity what do you think sits in the thoracic cavity the heart of the lungs there's the diaphragm the diaphragm separates the thoracic from the abdominal cavity what do you think is in the abdominal cavity well you've got your stomach liver all right intestines the spinal cavity which houses the spinal cord then we have the pelvic cavity which houses your reproductive organs cranial means brain thoracic lungs heart esophagus trachea bronchial tubes thymus gland and aorta are all part of the thoracic cavity the abdominal cavity houses the stomach small enlarged has a spleen pancreas liver and gallbladder the pelvic cavity houses the certain portions of the small large intestine the bladder the rectum urethra ureters uterus and vagina and the female and the spinal cavity has the nerves of the spinal cord all right so which quick quiz do you ever watch speed with keanu reeves quick quiz hot shot which body cavity contains the plural cavity and the mediastinum so is that going to be cranial pelvic spinal or thoracic pleural meaning lungs mediastinum so it's probably the thoracic which body cavity contains the peritoneum where do you think the peritoneum is okay so that can be pelvic spinal thoracic we'll go with abdominal organs in abdominal pelvic and thoracic cavities you've got the trachea the lung the diaphragm the liver gallbladder pancreas colon appendix bladder thyroid aorta heart spleen stomach colon when you look at these you always want to say okay can i point to the trachea on my body so point to the trachea then point to where the lungs are point to where the diaphragm is point to the liver the liver is on your right side the gallbladder is embedded within the liver the pancreas is deep to the stomach colon appendix is in the right side bladder thyroid gland aorta heart spleen is on the left side stomach is on the left side right so knowing where these are is very important so if you look at this here's the right side here's the left side anatomical position okay i think the his hands are in the fundamental position i can't really see it got cut off but okay there's your lungs here's the aorta here's the liver gallbladder pancreas see how it's deep to the stomach there's the spleen that's behind retro to the stomach here's a small intestine there's the colon you have a sending transverse descending colon here's your sigmoid colon here's your bladder okay here's your appendix so knowing this is actually very important again this is not a human anatomy class i won't test you on this but knowing where each organ is in the body or what a spleen looks like or a stomach looks like it would be helpful abdominal cavity cranial cavity diaphragm dorsal mediastinum pelvic cavity peritoneum pleural pleural cavity spinal cavity thoracic cavity and ventral meaning anterior now here's something that's very important knowing what organ is in what region because in from a medical terminology standpoint you might read the medical chart and say oh imaging done of the epigastric region imaging done of the right inguinal region well you probably should know what organ sits in what region okay so let's take a look at this here's the right hypochondriac region you see where the liver sits in there the gallbladder can sit in the right hypochandric region the left hypochondriac region you've got little parts of the stomach but majority of the liver and the stomach are in the epigastric region right lumbar region you've got the ascending colon in the umbilical region you've got the transverse colon you've got the small intestine you've got little parts of the pancreas in the left lumbar region you have the descending colon okay and the hypogastric region well you've got parts of the small intestine large intestines the urinary bladder the sigmoid colon the right inguinal region you've got the appendix so if they say let's mri done of the right inguinal region you might suspect that they were looking for appendicitis or a ruptured appendix all right so this is why medical terminology is important this is why the regions knowing the regions are important remember you know whether you're going to be a medical assistant a pa a md a do whatever initial you have behind your net medical terminology is the foundation for any kind of graduate school so you must have a good grasp of this like i said if you spend the time and really learn medical terminology every single class after this will be that much easier because it'll just build on your ability to understand medical terminology alright the right barber quadrant now you have quadrants these are regions but you also have quadrants four quadrants that contains the liver the right lobe gallbladder part of the pancreas part of the small large intestine left upper quadrant contains the liver left lobe stomach spleen part of the pancreas parts are small large that so if you had pain in the left upper quadrant you might have pain in the stomach if you have pain in the right upper quadrant you might have pain in your gallbladder or liver if you have pain in the right lower quadrant that might be small right ovary but the appendix is in the right lower quadrant and the left lower quadrant you've got your left fallopian tube left here left ovary so here's the difference between the right upper quadrant left upper quadrant so knowing what organs fi fit into which quadrant and which region is important okay let's look at some positions directions planes and terminology locate and name the anatomical divisions of the back become acquainted with terms that describe positions directions and planes of the body identify the meaning for new word elements and use them to understand medical terms cervical thoracic lumbar sacral coccygeal cervical you have seven cervical thoracic you have 12 vertebrae lumbar region you have five sacral and then coccygeal which is your tailbone if you ever go snowboarding or do uh skateboarding you probably have fallen on your coccygeal area which is your tailbone and it hurts like heck okay now again reviewing the abdominal pelvic regions you have the hypochondriac epigastric lumbar umbilical inguinal and hypogastric and the abdominal pelvic quadrants right upper left upper right lower and left lower divisions of the back you have the cervical thoracic lumbar sacral and coccygeal and the related terms to that are vertebra or vertebrae spinal column the spinal cord and the discs name the abdominal pelvic region that is located in the central region near the navel you think that's inguinal umbilical lumbar or hypochondriac okay well it's probably the umbilical region naval umbilical umbilicus okay name the abdominal pelvic region that's located in the lower middle below the or inferior to the umbilical region inguinal hypoepigastric lumbar or hypoglastric okay lower middle okay so if we go back if you look at lower middle here's the umbilical region and the lower middle is known as the hypogastric region okay so your answer is the hypogastric some positional and directional terms this is very important to know what does anterior mean posterior what does deep mean superficial proximal distal inferior superior medial lateral supine and prone so spend some time on this all right so if you look at positional and directional terms where is anterior where is posterior what's deep what's superficial so an example would be the stomach is deep to the skin the heart is deep to the rib cage but then if we go reverse it superficial we can say the skin is superficial to the stomach the skin is superficial to the rib cage and then as we get if you were to break down skin a little bit more again you don't have to know this but you would say the dermis is deep to the epidermis and then the hypodermis is deep to the dermis if you have tattoos you have it either in the epidermis dermis or hypodermis what do you think well if you had in the epidermis then that would be a henna tattoo it would get washed off so the tattoos are embedded they're deep to the epidermis so they're in the dermis there you go learn something new today some of you knew that already you're smart you have proximal and distal okay so proximal means closer to the trunk distal would be further away so the ankle is distal to the hip but the hip is proximal to the ankle so make sure you know that okay inferior so the knee is inferior to the hip superior the shoulder is superior to the elbow lateral means to the outside so the wrist is lateral to the hip medial the chest or the sternum is medial to the shoulder okay supine means this position right here so you're lying on your back and prone means you're lying on your stomach so if you ask a patient to lie supine uh here's a you know pet peeve of mine you know english if you ask a patient to lay down that that's incorrect chickens lay people lie so you ask a patient to lie down because you can't say oh yes uh mr smith go ahead and go into the supine position like what the hell are you talking about right so you're gonna say please lie down not lay down remember chickens lay people lie so lie down again that's just english 101 all right frontal coronal sagittal lateral transverse cross-sectional so these are important when you're doing a medical imaging do you have a coronal cut do you have a sagittal cut or a transverse cut so if you were to look at this okay so number one is a coronal cut so that's what you would see so coronal image whether it's a mri or a radiograph you'll be able to see lungs heart liver and you'll be able to see them all in a sagittal section here's mid-sagittal cuts it between right and left a frontal cuts it between anterior and posterior but a sagittal section would divide it between right and left okay so you might only see in a sagittal section you might only see the liver you might only see the stomach depending on what side you're looking at whereas the frontal section you'll be able to see all of it and the transverse cuts it from anterior or superior to inferior so you're only going to see certain parts of it okay so you're looking down from it so each has its pros and cons and the physician or the pa or the do will pretty much order different sections whether it's coronal lateral axial transverse sagittal making sure you know that based on what they're trying to find anterior deep distal frontal inferior lateral medial posterior make sure you know what those mean prone proximal sagittal superficial superior supine transfers all medical terms that you should it should be automatic all right now we go back to what we learned the first chapter what's medical terminology all right so let's look at this all right abdomino ato and antero what does that mean abdominal means abdomen adipo means fat antero means front cervical chondrochrome coxa so cervical means neck chondro means cartilage chromo means color and coccyx means coccyx okay chondrocyte cervical crani cyto distal dorsal hey cytokine again cranial skull cytomini cell distal means far distant dorsal means back portion of the body histo ilio inguinal cario so histo histology means study of tissue ilio ilium inguin null groin karyo means nucleus karyotype lateral lumbo media nucleo so lateral means to the side lumbo means lower back medial means middle nucleo pertaining to the nucleus pelvic pharyngeal postural proximal sacral more combining forms okay so pelvic means pelvis pharyngeal means pharynx postural means back proximal means nearest and sacral means sacrum so knowing these combining forms and then knowing suffixes and prefixes depending on how we combine them will pretty much break down the word for you okay sac spine filial thoraco tracheo so sarco means flash spino means spine fel filio means nipple the rack means chest trich means trachea or windpipe umbilic ventral vertebral visceral and bila ko means navel ventral means belly side vertebral means vertebrae visceral means internal organs okay so these are the combining forms that you should know now here's the prefix okay so now you combine a prefix with the combining for our suffix with the combining form so ana cata epi hypo intro intra and meta so ana means up catamines down epi means above hypo means below entero means between intra was within and meta is changed so there's a difference between inter tester reliability and intra tester reliability right so make sure you would know the difference between intra versus inter so an example let's say we were doing blood pressure cuffs and we had five people do it so that went and they get different reading so that would be inter tester reliability but if i had the same medical assistant or the same nurse do the blood pressure that would be intra tester reliability so if one person did it repeatedly that's intra tester and if different people did it that would be inter tester it's always good to see you know do inter tester reliabilities because if you got 140 over 100 and then the second medical assistant gets 120 over 80 well that's a big difference so that would be inter tester reliability intro tester is you're doing the same thing over and over again so if you're making the same mistake well then your intra test reliability isn't that great eel yak your ism o's plasmasomes and type these are suffixes so suffix means pertaining to iac means pertaining to and your means pertaining to look at that all these mean the same meaning pertaining to so you can add that at the end of any word and that would mean the same ism means a process or condition oh says full of so adipose right plasm formation somes bodies chromosomes okay bodies type picture or classification so which term means the process of cutting the skull all right so you gotta know well arthro means what joint dis dis thoraco means thoracic so craniotomy pro autome meaning cutting and skull means cranial so craniotomy see now you're learning to break it down break down remember the o is just the connector okay this is dottomy meaning to dissect or cut and cranial meaning skull easy make sure you practice practice practice read the book do flash cards and practice this so that you understand all this it'll be it's easy now but when you get tested on it it might seem a little foreign so start to practice practice with each other make some friends do what you can to practice practice practice
