ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION
DEFINTIONS ANATOMY – THE STRUCTURE OF BODY PARTS (ALSO CALLED MORPHOLOGY) PHYSIOLOGY – THE FUNCTION OF THE BODY PARTS, WHAT THEY DO AND HOW THEY DO IT
CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE MOVEMENT - SELF INITIATED CHANGE IN POSITION, MOTION OF INTERNAL PARTS RESPONSIVENESS - ABILITY TO SENSE CHANGES WITHIN, OR AROUND THE ORGANISM AND REACT TO THEM GROWTH - INCREASE IN BODY SIZE REPRODUCTION - PARENTS PRODUCE OFFSPRING / PRODUCING NEW INDIVIDUALS RESPIRATION - OBTAINING OXYGEN (O2), USING IT TO RELEASE ENERGY FROM FOOD SUBSTANCES, AND GETTING RID OF WASTES
Digestion - Chemically changing (breaking down) food substances, and getting rid of wastes Absorption - Passage of Digested products (food substances) through membranes and into body fluids Circulation - Movement of substances throughout the body Assimilation - Changing absorbed substances into chemically different substances Excretion - Removal of wastes
LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION
BODY CAVITIES DORSAL = BACK SIDE VENTRAL = FRONT SIDE THORACIC = CHEST (HEART, TRACHEA, LUNGS..) ABDOMEN = STOMACH AREA (SPLEEN, INTESTINES) PELVIC = LOWER ABDOMEN (BLADDER, REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS) DIAPHRAGM: SEPARATES THE THORACIC AND PELVIC REGION
