Anatomy and Physiology ??

Anatomy : the study of structure Physiology : the study of function - The labs will mainly deal with Anatomy - Coordinated by Dr. Corey Johnson - Self-work with 3D models - Short quiz on the day of the lab - First lab: second week (August 29 th ) - Short assignment on Bb BEFORE the lab

In the lectures….

Two key take home messages What are we going to study this semster?

Two key take home messages 1) Function follows form

Two key issue during the semester 1) Function follows form

2) The most important term in physiology

How the varied components of living things adjust to maintain a constant internal environment that makes possible optimal functioning WB Cannon Homeostasis So we have a balanced state, but it is NOT static!! Homeostatic Imbalances = Diseases (e.g. diabetes)

Registration -Sign-up sheet available up front - Those with relevant needs have priority 1. Major requirement – e.g. nursing 2. Otherwise: Seniors > Juniors - Being pre- (med, dental, vet, ophthalmology, etc.) does not constitute a priority
