Part 1, Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology
"Every movement you make, and every new day that you live to see, is the result of a collection of systems working together to function properly."
anatomy act provided corpses from those that were executed
complementary of structure - basic idea that what a structure can do depends on its form
chemical > cellular > tissues > organs > organ systems > the body
the body is the highest level of organization, while chemical is the lowest level
homeostasis - the ability to maintain stable, internal conditions no matter what changes are occurring outside the body
everyone's ultimate cause of death is the extreme and irreversible loss of homeostasis
loss of homeostasis is the cause of most injuries
anatomical position - body is erect and facing forward, with arms at the sides and palms forward
standing upright
head and eyes directed straight ahead
upper limbs at the sides
upper limbs slightly away from the trunk
palms facing forward
thumbs pointing away from body
lower limbs parallel
feet flat on the ground and facing forward
the body's anatomy is split into different planes
sagittal (median) plane comes down vertically and divides a body or organ in left and right parts, plane parallel is called the parasagittal
coronal (frontal) plane splits everything vertically into front and back
transverse (horizontal) plane divides the body top and bottom
axial parts - everything in line with the center of the body, the head, neck, and trunk
appendicular parts - arms, legs, and appendages
anterior (ventral) - everything at the front of your body
posterior (dorsal) - everything at the back of your body
superior (cranial) - features towards the top of the body, like the head
inferior (caudal) - features towards the bottom of the body
structures toward the midline of your body are medial, and structures further away from the midline are lateral
proximal - areas closer towards the center of the trunk
I’m in South Memphis at my favorite stump, in the blackest park. Smoking my blunt, reading my phytoextraction notes and tarot. Then I moved to the lake side between 2 trees to sun bathe.
was flipping through some of my really old study notes that i’d made when i was still in secondary school, and i was kind of amazed at how much time i had to make such pretty notes. by the time i got to jc it was just ugly scribbles on whatever scrap paper i could get my hands on.
managed to work on more korean workbook practice today, and gave more tuition classes! (i love money) what was especially nice about today was getting dinner and ice cream with an old friend — that’s always a blessing.
Phospholipid bilayer: makes up the bulk of the membrane. Made of lipids with a polar head and a nonpolar tail. The nonpolar side goes on the inside, the polar side goes on the outside
Cholesterol: is a spacer between phospholipids, keeps them from being too compact in cold temperatures and from drifting apart in hot temperatures.
Prehiphral proteins: on exterior of membrane. Can be enzymes or attach to cytoskeleton for maintaining cell shape.
Integral proteins: go through the membrane. Usually transport molecules like a channel when they can’t go through the phospholipid bilayer
Both proteins can have carbohydrates balance them, making them a glycoprotein. If the carbs attach to a lipid it’s called a glycolipid. These identify the cell as “self” and “non-self” which is important for fighting pathogens.

Absolutely beautiful! I hope everyone took this in! Makes you think just how small we are. A moment the world comes together as one! That’s true humanity . We will be uploading more amazing photos to this same post. So come back later on and check out our 2024 once in a lifetime eclipse photos.
