1
What is the distinguishing factor between Anatomy and Physiology? Anatomy: morphology of Structures Forms and arrangements Physiology: Describes function of Structures What body parts do and how they do it. Ex: 1. Heart… 2. stomach… 2. stomach… 3. mandible… 3. mandible…
2
How are anatomy & physiology related? Why study them together? Form follows function. Architect: Louis Sullivan
3
Requirements of Life Water - required for metabolism, transport, regulation Food - substances that provide nutrients & energy Oxygen - used in the release of energy Heat - a form of energy which helps control metabolic reactions Pressure - application of force on an object
4
Homeostatic Mechanisms work to control physiological maintenance. Homeostatic mechanisms: function to maintain stable environment Examples pH Oxygen levels Blood pressure Temperature glucose
5
Structural Levels of Organization What is the Smallest unit of all matter? 1.Cells 2.Organs 3.Tissues 4.Macromolecules 5.Atoms 6.Molecule 7.Organ system 8.organism 9.organelles
6
Levels of Organization Atoms Molecules Organelles Cells Cells Tissues Organs Organ System Organ System Organism (Body) Define: Cell Tissue Organ Organ System
8
Anatomical Position Standing erect, with palms and feet facing forward Is the standard reference point in which all positions, movements, and planes are described
9
Positions and Directions Terms of position and direction describe the position of one body part relative to another, usually along one of the three major body planes
10
Positions and Directions Superior Refers to a structure being closer to the head or higher than another structure in the body Inferior Refers to a structure being closer to the feet or lower than another structure in the body
11
Positions and Directions Anterior Refers to a structure being more in front than another structure in the body Posterior Refers to a structure being more in back than another structure in the body
12
Positions and Directions Medial Refers to a structure being closer to the midline or median plane of the body than another structure of the body Lateral Refers to a structure being farther away from the midline than another structure of the body
13
Positions and Directions Distal (Reference to the extremities only) (Reference to the extremities only) Refers to a structure being further away from the root of the limb than another structure in the limb Proximal (Reference to the extremities only) (Reference to the extremities only) Refers to a structure being closer to the root of the limb than another structure in that limb
14
Positions and Directions Superficial Refers to a structure being closer to the surface of the body than another structure Deep Refers to a structure being closer to the core of the body than another structure
15
Organ Systems Organ Systems Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Nervous Endocrine Cardiovascular Lymphatic/Immune Digestive Respiratory Urinary Reproductive
16
Integumentary System Skin, hair, sweat glands, oil glands Protects underlying tissues Sensory Regulates body temperature Synthesis of biochemicals Ex: Vitamin D
17
Skeletal System Bones, ligaments, cartilage, joints Body framework Protection of vital organs Attachment for muscles Blood cell production Storage of inorganic salts (calcium)
18
Muscular System Muscles Body movement Body posture Generation of body heat
19
Nervous System Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs Detect changes in the internal and external environment Receive and interpret sensory information Stimulate muscles and glands
20
Endocrine System Glands that secrete hormones Pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, ovaries, testis, and pancreas Hormones alter metabolism in target cells metabolism in target cells
21
Cardiovascular system heart, arteries, capillaries, veins, blood Pumps blood thru vessels and transport of gases, nutrients, hormones, wastes Lymphatic system lymphatic vessels, fluid, nodes, thymus, fluid, nodes, thymus, spleen, lymphocytes spleen, lymphocytes Protect against infection and disease
22
Digestive System Mouth, tongue, teeth, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small and large intestine Ingestion of food Breakdown of food molecules Absorption of nutrients http://kidshealth.org/misc/movie/bodybasics/digestive_system.html
23
Respiratory System Nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs Movement and exchange of respiratory gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide between air and blood
24
Urinary System Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra Remove wastes from blood Maintain body water and electrolyte balance Transport urine
25
Reproductive System Male: scrotum, testes, epididymides, vasa deferentia, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands, urethra, penis Female: ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, clitoris, vulva
26
Reproductive System Produces gametes, support development support development of embryo of embryo
