A comprehensive guide to anatomy and physiology fundamentals, exploring the intricate relationship between structure and function in the human body, with detailed coverage of tissue types, body systems, and neural components.

How anatomy fits physiology with tissue examples is demonstrated through the four main tissue types and their specific functions
Understanding negative feedback loops in homeostasis is explained using the body's temperature regulation system
Neuron anatomy structure and function explained through detailed examination of neural components and their roles
Body systems are comprehensively covered, showing their interconnected nature
Cellular organization is explored from basic units to complex systems

Neuron Anatomy and Structure

This page focuses on the detailed anatomy of neurons, the fundamental units of the nervous system.

Vocabulary: Key neuronal components include:

Dendrites: Reception of signals
Soma: Cell body containing the nucleus
Axon: Transmission of signals
Myelin sheath: Insulating layer
Nodes of Ranvier: Gaps in myelin for signal propagation
Axon terminals: End points for signal transmission

Highlight: The structural organization of neurons directly supports their function in signal transmission and processing.

Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Fundamentals

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of anatomy and physiology, emphasizing how form relates to function in biological systems.

Definition: Anatomy is the study of structure (form), while physiology examines function and operation.

Highlight: The principle "Form Fits Function" is a central theme in understanding how anatomical structures support physiological processes.

The page explores homeostasis through temperature regulation:

Example: The hypothalamus acts like a thermostat, maintaining body temperature at 37°C through negative feedback loops.

The hierarchical organization of body structures is detailed, from organelles to organisms:

Vocabulary: The four main tissue types are:

Epithelial: Classified by shape (squamous, cuboidal, columnar) and layering (simple, stratified)
Muscle: Including skeletal, smooth, and cardiac varieties
Nervous: Composed of neurons and glial cells
Connective: Encompasses various supporting tissues

View

Body Systems and Tissue Functions

This page delves deeper into the nervous tissue and various body systems.

Definition: Nervous tissue consists of neurons and glial cells, with dendrites sensing signals and transmitting action potentials down axons.

The page provides comprehensive coverage of body systems:

Highlight: Key systems include:

Digestive system for food processing and nutrient absorption
Circulatory system for blood and nutrient transport
Respiratory system for gas exchange
Immune/lymphatic system for defense and fluid balance
Excretory system for waste elimination
Endocrine system for hormonal regulation
Reproductive system for species continuation
Integumentary system for body protection
Skeletal and muscular systems for support and movement

I love this app so much [...] I recommend Knowunity to everyone!!! I went from a C to an A with it :D

Stefan S, iOS User

The application is very simple and well designed. So far I have found what I was looking for :D

SuSSan, iOS User

Love this App ❤️, I use it basically all the time whenever I'm studying
