Medical Terminology Videos
Videos
Anatomy and Physiology will be explained in three separate categories. Basic Cell Structure, Mapping of the Body, and a detailed explanation of the Body Systems. See CTE Skills’ Medical Terminology series as well to gain a better understanding of the terminology that corresponds to each of the body systems.
Body Systems
A body system is a group of organs working together to perform a specific function in the body, like digestion, respiration, or circulation, with major systems including the digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, muscular, skeletal, integumentary, lymphatic, urinary, and reproductive systems; each playing a vital role in maintaining overall bodily function.
Cell Structure
In this series we will learn about the human cell structures and their specific functions each must perform and complete in order for the Human organism to stay alive and healthy throughout its expected “Life Cycle”. In addition we will discuss the “disease process” which is essentially a dysfunction that can occur at any time when any of the six basic functions of a healthy organism is negatively impacted. We will look at the main factors responsible for initiating the “disease process”.
Mapping the Body
Mapping of the body is extremely important to anyone in the Health Sciences or medical fields. Whether you are a nurse aide or a surgeon, you need to understand the body in order to care for a patient properly. Views, body planes and directional terms will the first of two videos in this Mapping the Body series. In the next video we will cover the Body Cavities, Quadrants and regions.
