Why are we here?  Obviously, to learn about human anatomy and physiology.  But, what does that mean?  Before we begin, we’ve got to figure a few things out: 1.What’s a human? 2.What’s anatomy? 3.What’s physiology?

What are humans?  Organisms are classified as human because they are:  Animals  Vertebrates  Possess backbones  Mammals  Possess: –Mammary glands –Hair –Endothermy (i.e., we generate heat internally) –Heterodonty (i.e., we have teeth w/ different shapes and functions) –3 middle ear bones.

What are humans?  Primates  Possess: –Opposable thumbs (can you touch your pinky with your thumb?). What advantage does this confer? –2 clavicles (collarbones) –Only 2 mammary glands. Why only 2? (Think about how many kids a woman normally gives birth to.) –Forward facing eyes with stereoscopic vision (for depth perception)  Hominids  Bipedal (walk on 2 legs)  Possess a large brain size/body size ratio

 What is anatomy?  Anatomy is defined as the study of…  Structure refers to the shapes, sizes, and characteristics of the components of the human body.  The word anatomy comes from 2 words:  Ana which means “up or apart”  Tomos which means “to cut” Why these two words????

Types of Anatomy  We can divide our study of structure into 2 parts:  Study of stuff seen by the naked eye (Gross Anatomy).  Study of stuff seen ONLY with the microscope (Microanatomy). –We can divide microanatomy into: »Histology – study of tissues »Cytology – study of individual cells.

Physiology  Physiology is defined as the study of function – so human physiology attempts to explain how and why humans function.  Physiology is where we figure out how stuff works.  How do muscles contract?  How do we run?  How does our heart beat?

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Introduction  Anatomy and physiology affect your life everyday  Anatomy is the oldest medical science  1600 B.C.  Physiology is the study of function  Biochemistry  Biology  Chemistry  Genetics

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Structure and Function  Anatomy  Describes the structures of the body  What they are made of  Where they are located  Associated structures  Physiology  Is the study of  Functions of anatomical structures  Individual and cooperative functions

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Anatomy and Physiology Integrated  Anatomy  Gross anatomy, or macroscopic anatomy, examines large, visible structures  Surface anatomy: exterior features  Regional anatomy: body areas  Systemic anatomy: groups of organs working together  Developmental anatomy: from conception to death  Clinical anatomy: medical specialties

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Anatomy and Physiology Integrated  Anatomy  Microscopic anatomy examines cells and molecules  Cytology: study of cells and their structures cyt- = cell  Histology: study of tissues and their structures

Characteristics of Life Movement – change in position; motion Responsiveness – reaction to a change Growth – increase in size Respiration – obtaining oxygen; removing carbon dioxide; releasing energy from foods Reproduction – production of new organisms and new cells 1-6

Characteristics of Life Absorption – passage of substances through membranes and into body fluids Circulation – movement of substances in body fluids Assimilation – changing of absorbed substances into different substances Excretion – removal of wastes Digestion – breakdown of food substances 1-7

Requirements of Organisms Water - most abundant substance in body - required for metabolic processes - required for transport - regulates body temperature Food - supply energy - supply raw materials 1-8

Requirements of Organisms Oxygen - one-fifth of air - used to release energy from nutrients Heat - form of energy - partly controls rate of metabolic reactions Pressure - atmospheric pressure – important for breathing - hydrostatic pressure – keeps blood flowing 1-9
