Anatomy & Physiology Intro:

For next class period…. Read pgs 2-4 Compare and contrast anatomy and physiology. How would the role or duties of an anatomist differ from that of a physiologist? Describe the following subdivisions of anatomy: gross, regional, systemic, surface. Define the following prefixes and suffixes: append-, cardi-, homeo-, -logy, pariet-, peri-, pleur-, -stasis, -tomy

Anatomy: Physiology: structure closely relates to function

Branches of Anatomy: Gross Histology Embryology Surface

Characteristics of Life Movement - self initiated change in position, motion of internal parts Responsiveness (irritability) - 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

HOMEOSTASIS: Metabolism

The Integumentary System

Skeletal Functions with muscles to move body parts Stores inorganic salts

Integrates and coordinates with the endocrine system

Secretes hormones that target a particular group of cells

Transports:
