Anatomy And Physiology Chapter 1

In this video we discuss the 10 characteristics of human life, which include growth, responsiveness, conductivity, respiration, circulation, digestion, absorption, excretion, secretion, and reproduction.

In this video we discuss the 7 levels of organization of the body, which include the chemical level, organelle level, cellular level, tissue level, organ level, system level, and the organism level.

In this video we discuss what the anatomical position is, and the anatomical directional terms used to to minimize confusion when discussing areas or specific points on the body. We give examples of, and cover the terms superior and inferior, anterior and posterior, medial and lateral, ventral and dorsal, proximal and distal, and superficial and deep.

In this video we discuss the 3 major body planes sagittal planes, coronal or frontal planes and transverse planes. We give examples and descriptions of each of the planes, and also cover oblique planes, which is any plane that is not one of the 3 major planes.

In this video we discuss the major body cavities, which include the ventral and dorsal cavities. We cover the segments of the ventral cavities, the thoracic cavity and the abdominopelvic cavity. And we cover the segments of the dorsal cavities, the cranial cavity, and the spinal cavity.

In this video we discuss the abdominopelvic regions and quadrants in the body. We go through the names and locations of each of the regions and quadrants.
