AT 101 – Human Anatomy & Physiology-I

Back to Index Best Books Past Papers Open Notes

Semester 1

Important Topics

  • Cell structure, tissues, organs and systems
  • Homeostasis and vital signs
  • Respiratory system basics
  • Cardiovascular system basics
  • Musculoskeletal system overview

Quick Notes (Short Explanation)

Human Anatomy & Physiology-I gives the foundation for anesthesia practice. Students learn how normal body systems work before studying how anesthesia drugs and surgical stress alter them. In particular, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are central because anesthetic agents can depress breathing, change blood pressure, and influence heart rate. Basic knowledge of tissues, organs, muscles, and vital signs helps students understand pre-operative assessment and intra-operative monitoring. For exam preparation, focus on definitions, body systems, normal functions, and the clinical importance of maintaining homeostasis.
