Anatomy and Physiology Objectives: 1. Describe the branches of Anatomy and Physiology 2. Recognize the main functions of each organ system.

Anatomy: The study of STRUCTURE. Gross Anatomy: Gross Anatomy: Large, easily observable structures. (Ex: Heart, bones) Large, easily observable structures. (Ex: Heart, bones) Microscopic Anatomy: Microscopic Anatomy: Structures too small to observe with the naked eye. Structures too small to observe with the naked eye. Cytology – the study of cells Cytology – the study of cells Histology – the study of tissues Histology – the study of tissues

Physiology – The study of FUNCTON. Ex: Cardiac Physiology: study of the function of the heart Ex: Cardiac Physiology: study of the function of the heart

Organization in Living Things Cells are made of organic molecules: Cells are made of organic molecules: Proteins, Carbohydrates, Lipids and Nucleic Acids make up the cell and organelles. Proteins, Carbohydrates, Lipids and Nucleic Acids make up the cell and organelles. Atoms  Cells  Tissues  Organ  Organ System  Organism Atoms  Cells  Tissues  Organ  Organ System  Organism

Organization in Living Things Damage at any level can affect the health and functioning of the organism.

Systems of Support Integumentary System: The Skin Integumentary System: The Skin The external covering of the body, AKA skin!! The external covering of the body, AKA skin!! Functions: Functions: Waterproofs the body Waterproofs the body Protects the deeper tissues from injury Protects the deeper tissues from injury Excretes salts and urea in perspiration Excretes salts and urea in perspiration Regulates body temperature Regulates body temperature

Systems of Support  Skeletal System  Serves as a framework of support  Protects internal organs  Muscular System  Skeletal muscles make up the muscular system. Contract/shorten for movement, heat production Contract/shorten for movement, heat production

Systems of Control Nervous System Nervous System The body’s fast-acting control system The body’s fast-acting control system Consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors. Consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors. Endocrine System: Endocrine Glands Endocrine System: Endocrine Glands Regulates gradual changes within the body, with chemical controllers called hormones. Regulates gradual changes within the body, with chemical controllers called hormones. Includes: Pituitary Gland, Thyroid, Parathyroids, Adrenals, Thymus, Pancreas, Pineal, Ovaries, and Testes. Includes: Pituitary Gland, Thyroid, Parathyroids, Adrenals, Thymus, Pancreas, Pineal, Ovaries, and Testes.

Systems that maintain Homeostasis Cardiovascular System: Heart, Blood Vessels Cardiovascular System: Heart, Blood Vessels Delivery & transport of gases, nutrients and wastes Delivery & transport of gases, nutrients and wastes Respiratory System: Lungs Respiratory System: Lungs Gas exchange (carbon dioxide  oxygen) Gas exchange (carbon dioxide  oxygen) Consists of nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. Consists of nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs.

Systems that maintain Homeostasis Digestive System Digestive System Alimentary Canal: A tube running through the body from mouth to anus. Alimentary Canal: A tube running through the body from mouth to anus. Breakdown of food and absorption of nutrients Breakdown of food and absorption of nutrients Include mouth, oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small/large intestines, and rectum. Include mouth, oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small/large intestines, and rectum. Urinary System Urinary System Removes the nitrogen-containing wastes from the blood and flushes them from the body in urine. Removes the nitrogen-containing wastes from the blood and flushes them from the body in urine. Includes kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra Includes kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra

Lymphatic/Immune System: Lymphatic/Immune System: Defends body against pathogens, infection and disease Defends body against pathogens, infection and disease Reproductive System: Reproductive System: Main function is producing offspring Main function is producing offspring Produces gametes (egg and sperm) Produces gametes (egg and sperm) Male’s R.S includes: sperm, testes, scrotum, penis, duct systems. Male’s R.S includes: sperm, testes, scrotum, penis, duct systems. Female’s R.S includes: Ovaries, eggs, uterine tubes, vagina, and uterus. Female’s R.S includes: Ovaries, eggs, uterine tubes, vagina, and uterus. Systems that maintain Homeostasis
