Human Anatomy and Physiology

Human anatomy is the scientific study of the structures of the human body, while human physiology is the study of how those structures function. The two fields are intrinsically linked, as a structure's form is highly indicative of its function. 

Levels of organization

The human body is organized in a hierarchical structure, from the simplest to the most complex: 

• Cells: The fundamental, basic units of life.
• Tissues: Groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specialized function. There are four main types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.
• Organs: Structures made of two or more types of tissues that perform specific functions. Examples include the heart, lungs, and liver.
• Organ systems: Groups of organs with related functions that work together to carry out major processes for the organism, such as digestion or respiration. 

The 11 organ systems and their functions

The human body is typically described as having 11 major organ systems that collaborate to maintain homeostasis, or a stable internal balance. 

1. Integumentary system

• Anatomy: Skin, hair, and nails.
• Physiology: Provides exterior protection, regulates body temperature, and synthesizes vitamin D. 

2. Skeletal system

• Anatomy: Bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.
• Physiology: Provides structural support and protection, enables movement by working with muscles, produces blood cells, and stores minerals. 

3. Muscular system

• Anatomy: Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles.
• Physiology: Responsible for body movement, posture, and heat production. 

4. Nervous system

• Anatomy: Brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
• Physiology: Coordinates all body activities by transmitting and processing information through electrical and chemical signals. 

5. Endocrine system

• Anatomy: Glands that produce hormones, such as the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands.
• Physiology: Regulates bodily functions like metabolism, growth, and reproduction by secreting hormones into the bloodstream. 

6. Cardiovascular (or Circulatory) system

• Anatomy: Heart, blood, and blood vessels.
• Physiology: Circulates blood to transport oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells while removing waste products. 

7. Lymphatic system

• Anatomy: Lymph nodes, lymph vessels, tonsils, spleen, and thymus.
• Physiology: Drains excess tissue fluid, aids immune responses, and helps defend against infection and disease. 

8. Respiratory system

• Anatomy: Nose, mouth, trachea, and lungs.
• Physiology: Facilitates gas exchange, bringing oxygen into the body and expelling carbon dioxide. 

9. Digestive system

• Anatomy: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
• Physiology: Breaks down food into nutrients for absorption and eliminates solid waste. 

10. Urinary system

• Anatomy: Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra.
• Physiology: Filters waste products from the blood, maintains fluid and electrolyte balance, and produces and excretes urine. 

11. Reproductive system

• Anatomy: Ovaries, uterus, vagina (female); testes, penis (male).
• Physiology: Produces gametes and sex hormones to facilitate reproduction. 

General Chemistry and Pharmacology

General chemistry is an introductory college-level chemistry course that covers foundational concepts of matter and its transformations, including atomic structure, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, solutions, gases, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, and redox reactions. It serves as a prerequisite for many STEM disciplines and typically includes a lab component to provide hands-on experience with experiments like titrations and kinetics.  

This video provides a quick overview of the fundamental concepts in general chemistry.

Key Topics Covered in General Chemistry

• Atomic Structure: 

  The study of atoms, their components (protons, neutrons, electrons), and electron shells. 

• Chemical Bonding: 

  How atoms interact to form chemical bonds, including ionic and covalent bonds. 

• Chemical Reactions: 

  An exploration of chemical transformations, including stoichiometry, reaction rates (kinetics), and the reversibility of reactions (equilibrium). 

• States of Matter: 

  The characteristics and properties of solids, liquids, and gases, and the forces between molecules in condensed phases. 

• Solutions: 

  The formation and properties of mixtures, including solubility and other physical characteristics. 

• Thermodynamics: 

  The study of energy changes in chemical and physical processes, including concepts like enthalpy and entropy. 

• Redox Reactions: 

  Reactions involving the transfer of electrons, often studied in the context of electrochemistry. 

• Acids and Bases: 

  The study of acidic and basic substances, including their behavior in aqueous solutions. 

Importance of Chemistry for Medical Science 

Chemistry is crucial for medical science as it underpins drug development, diagnostics, and understanding bodily functions. It enables the design of new drugs by explaining how molecules interact with the body, and facilitates diagnosis through chemical tests like blood work and advanced imaging techniques like MRI. Understanding body chemistry is also essential for treating diseases, from understanding infections to creating personalized medicines. 

Drug development and discovery

• Drug design: 

  Medicinal chemists design and synthesize compounds to treat diseases by targeting specific proteins or enzymes. 

• Drug production: 

  Chemistry is used to create the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and the inactive "excipients" that hold the drug together and make it stable and easy to administer. 

• Understanding effects: 

  Chemistry helps understand how a drug works in the body, including its metabolism and how it interacts with cells. 

Diagnostics

• Biochemical assays: 

  Chemistry is the basis for tests that measure substances like glucose, cholesterol, and enzyme levels in the blood. 

• Medical imaging: 

  Advanced imaging techniques like MRI and PET scans rely on chemical principles and contrast agents to produce clear images of the body's internal structures. 

• Infectious disease detection: 

  Techniques like PCR tests, which detect the viral RNA of diseases like COVID-19, are based on chemical amplification methods. 

Understanding bodily functions and diseases

• Physiology and metabolism: 

  Chemistry provides the foundation for understanding how the body works at a molecular level, including cellular respiration, and how diseases disrupt these processes. 

• Biochemical imbalances: 

  Diagnosing and treating diseases often involves identifying and correcting chemical imbalances in the body. 

• Cell biology: 

  Understanding the chemical properties of molecules like lipids and proteins is essential for understanding cell membranes and how they function to let necessary substances in and out. 

Pharmacology 

Pharmacology is the scientific study of drugs and their effects on living organisms. It explores how chemicals, including medications, interact with biological systems to produce therapeutic or toxic effects. 

The field is broadly divided into two main branches:

• Pharmacokinetics (PK): This describes what the body does to the drug, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME).
• Pharmacodynamics (PD): This explains what the drug does to the body, such as its biochemical and physiological effects and its mechanism of action. 

Antiulcer drugs

Antiulcer drugs, or anti-peptic ulcer agents, are medications that prevent or treat ulcers in the stomach, small intestine, and esophagus. These drugs work by decreasing gastric acid secretion, protecting the mucosal lining of the stomach, or eliminating the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, which can cause ulcers. 

Common classes of antiulcer drugs include: 

• Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): These are powerful drugs that irreversibly block the enzyme responsible for the final step of acid production in the stomach (e.g., omeprazole, lansoprazole).
• Histamine-2 (H2) Receptor Antagonists: These drugs block histamine's action on the parietal cells in the stomach, reducing acid production (e.g., famotidine, ranitidine).
• Antacids: These are basic substances that neutralize existing gastric acid (e.g., calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide).
• Mucosal Protective Agents: These drugs, such as sucralfate, coat and protect the ulcer site from further damage by stomach acid and enzymes.
• H. Pylori Eradication Drugs: In cases where bacteria cause the ulcer, a combination of antibiotics is used to eliminate the infection. 

Antiemetic drugs

Antiemetics are medications used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting. The term comes from "anti," meaning against, and "-emetic," which refers to vomiting. These drugs work by blocking specific neurotransmitter receptors that trigger the vomiting center in the brain. 

Antiemetics are used for nausea and vomiting caused by: 

• Motion sickness
• Chemotherapy
• Post-surgery anesthesia
• Morning sickness during pregnancy
• Gastroenteritis (stomach flu) 

Classes of antiemetic drugs include: 

• Serotonin (5-HT3) Receptor Antagonists: Block serotonin receptors in the gut and brain (e.g., ondansetron, granisetron).
• Dopamine Antagonists: Block dopamine receptors in the brain's chemoreceptor trigger zone (e.g., metoclopramide, prochlorperazine).
• Antihistamines: Effective for motion sickness and vertigo by desensitizing the inner ear (e.g., meclizine, dimenhydrinate).
• NK-1 Receptor Antagonists: Newer drugs that suppress the vomiting reflex, often used for delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea.
• Bismuth Subsalicylate: An over-the-counter option that treats nausea and diarrhea caused by infections or food poisoning (e.g., Pepto-Bismol). 

Midwifery Nursing 

Midwifery is the care of women and newborns during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, focused on providing comprehensive and culturally sensitive care for healthy individuals, with the importance of reducing maternal and newborn mortality through skilled attendance and timely referral for complications. In Bangladesh, the government has introduced a cadre of licensed professional midwives to improve maternal and newborn health, with significant progress being made in deploying them across the country and establishing regulatory and professional bodies. 

Definition of midwifery

• Midwife: 

  A healthcare professional who has completed a recognized midwifery education program, is licensed to practice, and provides care to women and newborns during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. 

• Midwifery: 

  The practice of providing comprehensive care to women and their newborns from a woman-centered perspective, which includes antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal care. 

Importance of midwifery

• Reduces maternal and newborn mortality: 

  Skilled birth attendants like midwives are critical for reducing maternal deaths, especially in developing countries where access to care can be a challenge. 

• Comprehensive care: 

  Midwives provide a wide range of services, including high-quality antenatal, labor, and postnatal care, as well as family planning and newborn care. 

• Emergency preparedness: 

  They are trained to handle selected emergencies and know when to refer patients to higher levels of care, ensuring women and newborns receive timely and appropriate treatment. 

• Respects women's health: 

  Midwifery care is built on the principles of respect for women and families, informed choice, and autonomous practice. 

Midwifery in Bangladesh

• Government-led integration: 

  The government has been instrumental in integrating professional midwives into the healthcare system, deploying them to government facilities at the subdistrict and union levels. 

• Professional bodies: 

  Regulatory bodies like the Bangladesh Nursing and Midwifery Council and professional associations like the Bangladesh Midwifery Society have been established to regulate education and practice. 

• Deployment and coverage: 

  There are thousands of licensed midwives working in government facilities, and more posts are being approved to expand reach. 

• Scope of practice: 

  Midwives in Bangladesh are responsible for a comprehensive scope of care, including independent antenatal and postnatal care, labor management, emergency stabilization, and provisions for reproductive health. 

• Challenges: 

  Despite progress, challenges remain, such as ensuring comprehensive skills are consistently applied and achieving full professional recognition and autonomy for midwives.
