The body as a whole is built up round the bony framework of the skeleton and
consists of three main parts:
CARREOGRAPH
3.The Limbs : a) The Upper Limbs or Arms
b) The Lower Limbs or Legs
There are two pairs of limbs - The Upper Limbs & Lower Limbs:
a) Upper Limb consists of Bones - Humerus, Radius, Ulna,
Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges.
B) Lower Limb consists of Bones - Femur, Tibia, Fibula, Tarsals,
Metatarsals, Phalanges.
CYTOLOGY
Cytology is the branch of biology which deals with the study of structure and function of
cell. Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of living body.
Three main components of cells :
1. Plasma Membrane / Cell Membrane - The semi permeable membrane that
separates the interior of all cells from outside environment and protects
the cell.
2. Nucleus - Controls activities of the cell.
3. Cytoplasm - Surrounds the nucleus and carries out the activities
Determined by the nucleus.
Nucleus and Cytoplasm together is called Protoplasm, the living substance of
CARREOGRAPH
the Cell.
The structure of the cell
CELL MEMBRANE: It is made up of lipids and proteins and gives shape and protection to
the cell and is also selectively permeable.
CYTOPLASM: A jelly like substance that fills up the cell and is surrounded by the cell
membrane.
NUCLEUS: It is the dense portion of the cell housing the genetic material that is
chromosome.
Gene: The hereditary unit of life, it is a unit of DNA located on the chromosome which
passes information from parent to offspring.
Mitochondria: Called the power house of the cell, it is where glucose is brokendown
releasing energy stored in the form of ATP.
11
CELL DIVISION
Function of Cell
Cell membrane is permeable to selective substances.
Gives response to external stimuli.
Has the ability to absorb nutrients and excrete waste products.
Has the capacity for growth and repair.
Has the ability to reproduce in Mitosis and Meiosis way.
MITOSIS MEIOSIS
- 2 identical daughter cell with 46 - Daughter cells with 23 chromosomes
chromosomes are formed develop
- Takes place in all somatic or body cells - Takes place only in Testes In males
CARREOGRAPH
of males and Ovary of females (sperm) and Ovary in females (ovum).
- For growth and repair. - For birth of next generation.
TISSUE: Similar cells put together and performing the same function are called
tissues. There are 5 types of tissues:
EPITHELIAL TISSUE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
MUSCULAR TISSUE NERVOUS TISSUE
AREOLAR TISSUE
A group of tissues that perform a similar function (or functions) is called an
ORGAN. For e.g Heart, Liver, Lungs, Kidney
Organs when put together as they are engaged in the same type of function, form
SYSTEMS.
MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
Muscles are responsible for movement and various activities in our body.

Functions of Bones:
Give support and framework to the body.
Bones are a store-house for minerals like Calcium, Magnesium etc.
Bones protect various organs and also helps to prevent injury (e.g. Skull
protects Brain and Rib Cage protects Heart & Lungs).
Movement in the body occurs with help of bones and muscles.
Bone Marrow helps to produce Blood Cells (RBC & WBC- Granulocytes).
Longest bone in our body is FEMUR and the smallest bone is STAPES in the middle
ear.
There are 12 pairs of Rib Bones originating from Vertebral Column and attached
With the STERNUM in the front, 10 pairs attached and 2 pairs remain hanging and
also called the Floating Ribs.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
The mouth cavity : Teeth ,hard and soft palate ,Tongue ,salivary glands (one pair each
of parotid, sub maxillary and sub lingual)
Function : The food which is taken into the mouth is chewed with teeth and mixed with
saliva ,secretions of salivary glands to render it into a state suitable for swallowing.
Enzyme Salivary - amylase : Converts cooked starch into Maltose.
Pharynx : Acts only for food passage
Oesophagus : -do-
CARREOGRAPH
Stomach : A muscular bag just below the
diaphragm at the end of Oesophagus which
retains food for several hours. It has got
4 segments Cardiac Orifice, Fundus, Body & Pylorus.
The Small intestine has millions of tiny finger-like projections called Villi. Function of
Villi is to absorb nutrients (simple food) from small intestine into the blood stream.
Function : Mainly water absorption and excretion of waste products faeces or stool.
The function of the entire system is aided by secretions from largest gland liver (bile)
and mixed gland pancreas (pancreatic juice).
16
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Gall Bladder : Also associated with digestive system is the rear shaped gall bladder,
which is a small hollow organ which lies just beneath the liver. It is how that bile is
stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine.
What is digestion?
Digestion is a process where complex food molecules are broken down into simple
forms, which can be absorbed and used by the body.
CARREOGRAPH
What does gastric juice contain?
Gastric juice contains :
1) Pepsinogen Hcl Pepsin (acts on protein to peptones )
2) Rennin(coagulates milk)
3) Small amount of gastric lipase (fat splitting enzyme)
What is liver?
1) Liver is the largest gland in the body
2) Liver is the head quarters of metabolism
3) Liver is the part of digestive system
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
CARREOGRAPH
3) Glucose (from Carbohydrate)
What is Metabolism ?
Metabolism involves the biochemical processes through which complex substances are
broken down with liberation of energy(catabolism) and building up of complex
substances from simple ones with the formation of tissue protein (anabolism).
Maintaining the continuing equilibrium (Isobolism).
What is Peristalsis?
Involuntary wave of muscular contraction followed by dilatation starting from
Oesophagus in presence of food effecting easy forward passage of food.
What is Sphinter?
A specialized ring of muscles that surrounds an orifice allowing substance to pass in the
forward direction only.
What is Calorie?
A unit of heat equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gm of
water through 1º C.
Vitamins :
Group of substances essential for body growth. They do not produce calories but act as
catalysts. We require small amounts. They can't be synthesized in the body but available
in the food we take.
They are of two types. The water soluble group includes vitamin B complex and vitamin
C. The fat soluble group includes vitamin A,D,E,K.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Minerals:
These are inorganic substances in the diet, required in small amounts, essential for life.
To name major minerals calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, sulphur
etc.
CARREOGRAPH
Stomach :
The main pancreatic duct meets the common bile duct, the two ducts join together, dilate
into an ampulla (Vater) and open into the 2nd part of duodenum over the summit of the
major duodenal papillae.
19
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Function of Bile -
1. Bile emulsifies Fat and Lipase converts the fat into Fatty Acid and Glycerol.
2. For proper absorption of digested fat, the presence of bile salts is necessary. They act
by lowering surface tension. Fatty Acid & Glycerol are absorbed into the villi of small
intestine.
Proteolytic / Protein splitting enzymes : (1) Pepsin (2) Trypsin (3) Erepsin
Lipolytic / Fat splitting enzyme : Lipase

METABOLISM
Metabolism starts after absorption and is finished when the end products are excreted.
The chemical changes (1) Synthesis known as ANABOLISM, (2) breakdown called
CATABOLISM and (3) maintaining equilibrium called ISOBOLISM, comprises total
Metabolism.
In short: METABOLISM is the term for all the chemical and physical processes required
for life, using absorbed nutrients.
CARREOGRAPH
METABOLISM = ANABOLISM + CATABOLISM + ISOBOLISM
ANABOLISM = When nutrients are used to build compounds and body tissues, this
process is called Anabolism.
CATABOLISM = When compounds and body tissues are broken down, releasing
energy stored as ATP, the process is called Catabolism.
A. NUTRIENTS are :
CATEGORY I (MACRONUTRIENTS)
CARBOHYDRATES.
PROTEINS.
FATS.
CATEGORY II (MICRONUTRIENTS)
VITAMINS.
MINERALS.
B. The ENERGY produced in the body may be measured and expressed
In units of work (Joules) or units of heat (Kilocalories).
BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR) is the rate of metabolism when the person
should be awake & is in complete physical and mental rest and in the normal
environments, using minimum energy just to maintain the essential life processes
(functioning of heart, lungs, nervous system and kidneys). It is measured as per unit
of body surface area (in Sq. Metres) per hour and to be taken 12 hours after a meal.

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
CARREOGRAPH
Intercostal Muscles and two bones involved in respiration - Ribs and Sternum.
Major Organs of Respiration:
NOSE and NASAL CAVITY Nose is a structure made
up of cartilage with openings called nostrils which allow
the air to flow in or out. Nasal Cavities are the spaces
in bones of face which are filled with air.
EPIGLOTTIS A flap of cartilaginous structure in the
throat that keeps food from entering the respiratory
Air
tract.
LARYNX an organ serving as an air passage
conveying air to trachea and also responsible for Epiglottis
production of vocal sounds.
TRACHEA part of air passage between larynx and bronchi,
composed of smooth muscle with fixed incomplete cartilage.
Trachea bifurcates into right and left Bronchi.
LUNG a pair of organs of respiration, situated in the chest cavity on either
side of heart and enclosed by a double serous membrane called Pleura.
Inflammation of the Pleura is called Pleuritis or Pleurisy.
ALVEOLI a single alveolus is a microscopic single layer air sac covered with pulmonary
capillaries where oxygen and carbon dioxide can be readily exchanged.
What is Cough?
Cough is a protective reflex of the body, often Sudden and repetitive to clear out irritants, dust,
food particles, microbes etc from the respiratory passages. It can be voluntary or involuntary in
nature.
IMMUNITY AND VACCINE
VACCINES are suspensions of dead or attenuated but live microorganisms or products obtained
from them used as antigens when administered develop one or more types of specific antibodies
in the body. Vaccines are employed prophylactically and are of no value during incubation period
or in the active stage of disease.

motor nerves.
CARREOGRAPH
What do you know about Central Nervous
System (CNS)?
PARIETAL
Central Nervous System consists of Brain FRONTAL LOBE LOBE
LIMBIC LOBE
and Spinal cord. Brain and Spinal cord
controls and coordinates all nervous activities
of our body. Nerves originate from the
OCCIPITAL
Brain and Spinal Cord and spreads LOBE

What is Neuron?
MEDULLA OBLONGATA
CEREBELLUM
Neuron is the smallest structural and
SPINAL CORD
functional unit of nervous system. Many
neurons together, form a nerve fiber. Brain
and Spinal cord are formed by millions of neurons. A neuron has three parts
a) Dendrites b) Cell body c) Axon.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
A nerve is a collection of nerve fibres which carry electrical impulses between a part of
Central Nervous System and other body regions.
Nerve impulses are electricity generated in the neurons of central nervous system and it is
conducted along the nerve fibres.
What is synapse?
A synapse is a junction between two or more neurons.
What is Neurotransmitter?
Neurotransmitters are chemical substances which are stored in the end of the neurons and
they help they carry nerve impulses from one neuron to other.
CARREOGRAPH
Name some neurotransmitters?
Name of some neurotransmitters are acetylcholine, serotonin, Nor adrenaline, GABA etc.
Meninges is a three- layered membrane that covers Brain and Spinal cord.
CSF or Cerebrospinal Fluid is a fluid that is available in between Arachnoid Mater and Pia
Mater of Meninges of Brain and Spinal Cord .It works as a shock absorber, provides
nutrients & eliminates waste products.

URINARY SYSTEM
1. Filtration
2. Reabsorbtion of water and other dissolved substances with the help of ADH.
3. Excretion
CARREOGRAPH
4. Maintaining acid base balance
How filtration happens in kidney? Give a brief idea.
Blood is constantly purified in kidney .Blood coming to Glomerulus is filtered and water,
urea, creatinine and salts etc come to Bowmann's capsule .From there it travels through
the entire length of renal tubules and get collected to collecting duct. In the passage,
majority of water and salts are reabsorbed to blood with the help of ADH and aldosterone
respectively. The rest amount is excreted as urine.

URINARY SYSTEM
What is Nephron?
Nephron is the microscopic structural and functional unit of kidney. It is made up of
glomerulus, bowmann's capsule and renal tubules and collecting duct.
Structure of Nephron?
1. Bowman’s Capsule & Glomerulus
2. Renal Tubule - Proximal, Henle’s Loop, Distal,
3. Collecting Duct / Tubule
Bowman’s Capsule is surrounded by a tuft of capillary vessels, known as glomerulus.
Together, Bowman’s capsule & glomerulus constitute the Malpighian corpuscle.
What is diabetes mellitus? How many types of Diabetes we have in humans?
It is a metabolic disorder where there is impaired glucose metabolism in the body with
excessive thirst and hunger. Patient feels excessive urge to urinate. In severe cases,
CARREOGRAPH
sugar may excrete through urine. Lack of production of insulin or impaired insulin
utilization are common causes of Diabetes mellitus.
In humans, two types of Diabetes have been confirmed to exist.
1. Diabetes Mellitus- occurs as a results of lack of insulin
2. Diabetes Insipidus- Occurs as a result of lack of ADH
What is diuresis? Name one diuretic medication.
Increased production and excretion of urine is called Diuresis. Frusemide and
Torsemide are diuretics.

gland, it controls the Pituitary, the master gland for its secretion of different hormones to
influence the secretions of other endocrine glands. Pituitary has two lobes - Anterior
and Posterior.
Summary of the hormones secreted by the ANTERIOR PITUITARY gland and their functions
Hormone Function
Growth hormone (GH) Regulates metabolism, promotes tissue
growth especially of bones and muscles.
Thyroid Gland stimulating
Stimulates growth and activity of thyroid
hormone (TSH)
gland and secretion of T3 and T4.
Adrenocorticotrophic hormone
Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete
(ACTH) glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoid, sexsteroids.
POSTERIOR PITUITARY secretes (1) Oxytocin for forceful uterine contractions for smooth
delivery. Posterior Pituitary also releases (2) Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) effecting
reabsorption of water & selective substances from urinary tubules.

ENDOCRINES
CARREOGRAPH
4. Islets of Langerhans (Endocrine pancreas) - Insulin, Glucagon
5. Ovary - Oestrogen, Progesterone.
6. Testis - Testosterone
7. Placenta (during pregnancy) - Progesterone & Oestrogen

In addition to the above, there are glands with probable endocrine functions:
a) Thymus b) Pineal body
Pituitary Gland
The master endocrine gland, a pea-sized body attached beneath the hypothalamus in the brain
that releases many hormones which in turn regulate the secretions of other endocrine Glands.

REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
The male reproductive organs consists of Testes, Epididymis, Vas Deferens, Seminal Vesicles,
Prostate, Bulbo-urethral Gland, Prostatic Urethra, Penile Urethra and Penis.
The female organs include Ovaries, Fallopian Tubes, Uterus, Bartholin's Glands, Vagina.
Puberty - The onset of reproductive life is called puberty. It is the time when the gonads (testes
and ovaries) develop endocrine and gametogenic functions.
In the female, the Uterus is a thick-walled pear-shaped muscular hollow organ. It is suspended in
the pelvic cavity. The upper part is connected to the two Fallopian tubes, one on each side and
the lower part joins the vagina at the cervix-Vagina internal & vagina external.
Two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus contain numerous follicles, within which the ova
develop. Ovulation is the process by which an ovum is released from a mature follicle. The
released ovum starts to travel through the Fallopian tube to the uterus, The fusion of a
spermatozoon and an ovum is know as Fertilization. In absence of sperm, when fertilization does
CARREOGRAPH
not take place, the endometrium breaks and the blood, mucus and uterine tissue are eliminated
through the vagina during 4 to 5 days in a cycle of 28 days is known as Menstruation. In the age
between 45 and 55, when the ovaries cease to produce an ovum, menstruation ceases and the
woman is no longer able to bear children. The stage is called Menopause.

AGE OF PUBERTY: It is the age when an adolescent reaches sexual maturity that is the boy or
girl is now capable of reproduction. This age usually ranges from 10 years to 14 years.
GRAAFIAN FOLLICLE: A mature ovarian follicle that ruptures to release the egg or ovum
during ovulation.
OVULATION: The release of the matured ovum from the ovary after the rupture of the Graafian
Follicle is called ovulation.
FEMALE GAMETE: A haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes produced from the Ovary is
called the female gamete or Ovum ( plural- Ova).
CORPUS LUTEUM: After the Graafian Follicle ruptures, in it's place a mass of yellow coloured
cells is formed. It is called Corpus Luteum which produces progesterone under the action of
CARREOGRAPH
Luteinzing Hormone.
MENSTRUATION: The shedding of the functional endometrial layer after every cycle of 28 days
when there is no fertilization and therefore no embedding of the embryo on the wall of the uterus.
MALE GAMETE: A haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes produced from the Testes is
called the male gamete or Spermatozoa (singular- Spermatozoon).
FERTILIZATION: The fusion or union of the male gamete with the female gamete is called
fertilization.
ZYGOTE: The first diploid cell of 46 chromosomes formed just after fertilization of ovum with
sperm is called zygote.
PLACENTA: It is a vascular organ which remains in direct contact with the uterine endometrium
and provides nourishment and oxygen to the growing foetus and also helps in removal of waste
products. The placenta also acts as a barrier in preventing certain disease causing micro-
organisms from reaching the foetus.
EMBRYO: The zygote starts multiplying and undergoes development; from 2 weeks to 8 weeks
after fertilization it is called an embryo.
FOETUS: After 8 weeks of fertilization till birth, the embryo is now called the foetus.
GESTATION PERIOD: The entire period inside the female reproductive organs during which the
zygote becomes the fully matured foetus is called gestation. This is counted as 280 days or 40
weeks from the 1st day of last menstrual cycle.
LABOUR: Under the influence of the hormone oxytocin there is painful contractions of the
myometrium of the uterus at the end of the gestation period to aid in the expulsion of the fully
grown foetus, this is called labour.
MENOPAUSE: The Menstrual Cycle stops after a certain age (45 to 55 years) in women. Her
reproductive age is over , this is called Menopause.

THE SKIN
(STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN)
SKIN AN OVERVIEW :
Surface area of 1.2 to 2.2 square meters.
Weighs 4 to 5 kilograms.
Accounts for about 7% of total body weight in average adult.
A complex organ that protects its host from its environment, at the same time allowing
interaction with the environment.
A physical permeability barrier.
TYPES OF SKIN:
CARREOGRAPH
Two main kinds of human skin: glabrous skin (non hairy skin) and hair bearing skin.
Glabrous skin is found on the palms and soles and has lines and ridges (fingerprints).
THE SKIN
(STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN)
CARREOGRAPH
1) Keratinocytes-Cells of the epidermis which is filled with a protein called keratin.
2) Melanocytes-Produces dark brown to black pigment called Melanin, production
increases in presence of sunlight, it reflects skin colour.
3) Merkel cells-Sensory cells responsible for detecting touch, pain, pressure on the
skin.
4) Langerhan cells-Protective cells, responsible for protection from foreign particles
by phagocytosis.
DERMIS:
The Dermis is tough and elastic in nature and made up of fibrous tissue. It consists of a
dense network of blood and Lymph vessels, nerves, glands (sweat glands & Sebaceous
glands), hair roots.
The dermis is arranged in two major regions:
1) The Upper-Thin Papillary dermis - Contains Capillaries and nerve endings (Sensory)
& determines individual’s unique finger prints.
2) The Lower-Thick Reticular dermis - Contains sweat glands, larger blood vessels &
nerves.
HYPODERMIS OR SUBCUTIS:
The Hypodermis is a loose layer of Connective tissue with numerous blood vessels, it
connects the Epidermis and Dermis with the underlying tissue of muscles, bones and
cartilage. Almost 80% of the body fat is stored in the Hypodermis. It is responsible for
giving a cushioning effect against trauma and provides insulation and acts as a calorie
reserve. And also contains dense tracery of nerves.
58
THE SKIN
(STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN)
1) PROTECTION- The skin protects the body from the external environment and from
the invasion of micro-organisms.
2) SENSATION-The Merkel cells of the skin can detect and caution against the
external environment.
3) EXCRETION - The skin removes some amount of excess water and waste materials
through sweat glands.
4) THERMOREGULATION - The sweat glands regulate body temperature through
adjustment of the amount of sweat.
5) LUBRICATION of the Skin-The Sebaceous glands produces Sebum which forms an
CARREOGRAPH
oily covering on the skin causing a waterproofing effect and thus prevents the skin
from drying.
6) Subcutaneous fat provides cushioning effect against trauma.
SKIN LESIONS:
1) ABSCESS- A skin lesion characterised by collection of pus in a localised cavity.
2) DERMATITIS- Synonym Eczema, characterized by red inflamed epidermis with
itching.
3) URTICARIA- Allergic skin condition characterized by red swelled skin with wheals.
4) ACNE - A skin disease where sebaceous glands become inflamed, characterised
by oily skin.
Skin Infections-Skin infections are of different types and can be caused by Bacteria
(Leprosy), Fungi (Ringworm), Virus (Chicken pox, Herpes) and Parasites (Scabies, Lice).
