HUMAN ANATOMY
• 1) Why I chose this book Human anatomy, write by Elaine N. Marieb
and Jon Mallatt, is because I will use it in my future goal that I will
study DMS (Diagnostic Medical Sonography). It has so much details
and graphics with their names or appropriate indications. Also it has
explanation of the graphics, so that I am looking to star familiar with
medical terms and names of the human body.
• 2) The strategies that I used were skimming, highlighting special
names (concepts) and read again. To understand the book I had
used the dictionary and it was a good helper. Sometimes I guessed
and kept going, because later on I will know if I really will need those
news names or part of the body.
• The obstacles that I had was the short time (I was reading in my
lunch break on my job), and the new names or concepts, because
using all the time the dictionary was one of the obstacles (specially).
• 3) According to the authors they want to
show how the human body is structured.
In this chapter they show the anatomical
terminology, some are in Greek and Latin
names. Also the levels of the structural
organization of the body like cellular,
tissue, organ, organ system and organism.
• The cells are the smallest living units in our body, and act
as a fragile barrier, are proteins and can be replicates
themselves. The cells have three main parts which are:
the plasma membrane, the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
• The Plasma Membrane is lipid molecules with protein
dispersed in it, and also is protective barrier that
determines what leaves and enters the cell.
• The Cytoplasm is a cell forming material, and is viscous
substance. It can divide in three important elements which
are Cytosol, Organelles and inclusion.
• The nucleus is what contains genetic material
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and is the control center of
the cell.
• Embryology studies prenatal period (38 weeks), and helps you to
understand the organization of the human body and defects of the
fetus. During the embryonic period, in special the first 8 weeks, it can
show skin, trunk, muscles, vertebral column, spinal cord and brain, the
heart, kidneys, gonads, and limbs.
• From the beginning of the fertilization it show us how the cell gets
multiplied in pairs until the 4th day. At that time it is call morula. Then it
enters the uterus, and it implants in the uterine wall. By the 3rd week it
starts to form in layers that become the future body cavity. However
the authors show that in the 4th week parts of the head and the tail, as
well the tubular part as a body. Between the 5th through 8th weeks
almost the embryo becomes as a human body with the eyes, ears,
nose and limbs formed.
• Tissues are collections of structurally similar cells
with related functions, and also contain nonliving
material between their cells. There are four
primary tissues:
• Epithelium (Covers body surfaces and lines body
cavities).
• Connective tissues (Cartilage, bone and blood).
• Muscle (long muscle cells “fibers”).
• Nervous tissues (Nervous system).
OPINION
• 4) I know I haven’t finished this book, because it
has 707 pages. I will continue reading this book
and really I do like it. This book is well done.
The presentation of it shows us graphics and I
can say the authors had worked hard writing this
book. So for this reason I give 5 stars and I
congratulate to them.
