WEEK 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology‚ and explain their relationship using an example of a human structure with its corresponding function. The term anatomy refers to the structure and relationship of body parts such as tissues and organs. Physiology on the other hand is how these structures work as in individual and in the body as a whole. Take the circulatory system for example. The heart itself‚ blood vessels and blood

Renal calculi literally translates to kidney stones. These kidney stones form inside your kidneys but can affect your entire urinary tract as it travels (which includes the bladder‚ urethra‚ and ureters.) Stones form when urine is too rich with minerals and salts causing them to stick together creating a small‚ hard‚ pebble-like sediment. Kidney stones are a collection of proteins and mineral salts that aggregate into a solid crystalline structure. The stones structure is made of two phases‚ crystalline

annually in the United States. UTI is the second most common infection that affects women. UTIs typically affect young‚ sexually active women. A lower UTI is an infection or inflammation of the bladder or urethra. Upper UTIs involve infections of the ureters and kidneys. Simple or uncomplicated UTIs are infections experienced by women with no significant history of UTIs and are characterized by new onset of mild to moderate symptoms. A complicated UTI commonly occurs due to structural or functional abnormality

APPENDICITIS Reporter: Rita May C. Reyna APPENDIX The appendix is a normal true diverticulum of the cecum. Like any diverticulum‚ it is prone to acute and chronic inflammation‚ and acute appendicitis is a relatively common entity. Other lesions‚ including tumors‚ can also occur in the appendix but are far less common. The appendix is a wormlike extension of the cecum and‚ for this reason‚ has been called the vermiform appendix. The average length of the appendix is 8-10 cm (ranging from 2-20

Epithelium - 1) It protects us from the outside world – skin. 2) Absorbs – stomach and intestinal lining (gut). 3) Filters – the kidney. 4) Secretes – forms glands. Characteristics (Traits): 1) Closely attached to each other forming a protective barrier. 2) Always has one free (apical) surface open to outside the body or inside (cavity) an

Hyperparathyroidism occurs as a result of too much parathyroid hormone being produced by the parathyroid glands. The parathyroid hormone acts to balance the calcium level in the blood and in tissues that need calcium to function properly. When the calcium level increases‚ it will cause symptoms that point to hyperparathyroidism. The extra calcium in the blood comes from the bones so fractures can occur. Blood work as well as bone density scanning will be used to diagnose hyperparathyroidism. Treatment
