Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology-Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Mary Elizabeth Regis provides an overview of anatomy and physiology, discussing body sections, planes, cavities, and disease categories. The video covers body planes like coronal, sagittal, and transverse, as well as cavities such as cranial, spinal, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic. Disease categories addressed include congenital, degenerative, genetic, infectious, neoplastic, and autoimmune diseases. Hematology and immunology are explored, focusing on blood, lymphatic systems, anemia, infections, cancers, and autoimmune disorders. Orthopedics is discussed, covering bones, joints, fractures, and conditions like scoliosis and arthritis. The muscular system is detailed, emphasizing skeletal muscles as the only voluntary muscles. Additionally, vocal cord nodules result from voice strain, while laryngeal polyps are growths caused by vocal abuse, both leading to voice-related symptoms. Sleep apnea, characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep, can cause fatigue and other health problems, with treatment options including lifestyle changes, CPAP machines, or surgery based on severity.
