3. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Overview of Anatomy and Physiology  Anatomy:  Study of:  The structure of body parts, and  Their relationships to one another  Subdivided into:  Gross or macroscopic: Large visible structures (naked eye)  Microscopic: Too small to be seen by the naked eye.  Developmental: Structural changes throughout life  Physiology:  The study of the function of the body’s structural machinery

4. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Microscopic Anatomy:  Subdivided into:  Cytology:  Study of the cell  Histology:  Study of tissues (similar cells with the same function) What is the difference between a cell & a tissue?

5. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Tools for Studying Anatomy:  Mastery of anatomical terminology  Observation  Manipulation  In a living person:  Palpation (feeling organs with hands)  Auscultation (listening to organ by a stethoscope)

6. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Principle of Complementarity  Anatomy & physiology are individual subjects  But, they are inseparable  Function always reflects structure  What a structure can do depends on its specific form  This called the principle of complementarity  Example:  Blood flows in one direction because the:  Structure of the heart valves prevents backflow (unidirectional blood flow)

7. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Levels of Structural Organization Human body has many structural organization levels:  Chemical:  Atoms (smallest units of ……..?) combined to form molecules  Molecules (smallest units of ………?)  Cellular:  Molecules combine forming ………..? (basic cellular components)  Cells are the smallest units of ……….? (1-cell organisms)  Tissue:  Consists of a group of similar cells having a common function  Four basic types of tissues in the human body:  Epithelium, muscle, connective tissue, & nervous tissue

8. Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Levels of Structural Organization (cont’d.)  Organ  Discrete structure made up of at least two tissue types  Performs a specific function for the body  Organ system:  Consists of different organs that work closely together  Accomplishes a common purpose  Organismal:  An organism is made up of the organ systems  The sum total of all levels work together to promote life
