The Human Body: An Introduction
3
Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy – the study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another –Gross or macroscopic –Microscopic –Developmental
4
Gross Anatomy (macroscopic) Gross anatomy establishes anatomical landmarks and organ positions within the body. Gross anatomy can be viewed with the naked eye. Ever wonder why a head wound bleeds so much?
5
Microscopic Anatomy The study of microscopic anatomical features. Photo taken in SHHS science lab by Mr. Benoit
6
Developmental Anatomy Developmental anatomy looks at how we change over time.
7
Gross Anatomy Approaches Regional Systemic Surface
8
Regional Gross Anatomy– studies all structures in one part of the body (such as the abdomen or leg)
9
Systemic Gross Anatomy-studies the body by system
10
Surface Gross Anatomy– study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin Upper Right Quadrant, Upper Left Quadrant, Lower Left Quadrant, Lower Right Quadrant. Through umbilicus, middle of sternum. Notice positions are described from perspective of body being studied.
11
Microscopic Anatomy Cytology Histology
12
Cytology – the study of cells Cyto=cell, logos=study of Red Blood Cells & Osteocytes
13
Histology – the study of tissues The study of the organization of tissues. Sample of lung tissue
14
Developmental Anatomy Traces structural changes throughout life Embryology – study of developmental changes of the body before birth
15
Embryology
17
Specialized Branches of Anatomy Pathological anatomy Radiographic anatomy Molecular biology
18
Pathological Anatomy – study of structural changes caused by disease Triple coronary bypass to provide circulation to ventricular wall due to arterial occlusion. Cirrhosis (scarring) of liver caused by drug and alcohol abuse.
19
Radiographic anatomy – study of internal structures visualized by specialized scanning procedures such as X-ray, MRI, and CT scans.
20
MRI’s use a powerful magnetic field to align hydrogen atoms in water to view a contrast between soft tissues in the human body.
21
Computed Tomography (CT/CAT) Scans use two dimensional X-rays to create 3-d images of internal structures. Arrow show tumors in liver.
22
Molecular Biology – study of anatomical structures at a subcellular level
23
Physiology
24
Considers the operation of specific organ systems (How things work) Focuses on the functions of the body, often at the cellular or molecular level
25
Renal Physiology (ren = kidney) How we make pee http://health.howstuffwork s.com/adam-200032.htm
26
Neurophysiology – workings of the nervous system ( neuro- = nerve )
27
Cardiovascular (cardio =heart, vascular =blood vessels)
28
Endocrinology (endo =within, crin =secretion)
29
Immunology (immun = not susceptible)
30
Respiratory Physiology (respira = to breathe)
31
Exercise Physiology
32
Pathophysiology
33
Physiology Understanding physiology also requires a knowledge of physics, which explains –electrical currents –blood pressure –the way muscle uses bone for movement
34
Question? Why would you have a hard time learning and understanding physiology if you did not also understand anatomy?
35
Principle of Complementarity Function always reflects structure What a structure can do depends on its specific form
36
Levels of Structural Organization Chemical – atoms combined to form molecules Cellular – cells are made of molecules Tissue – consists of similar types of cells Organ – made up of different types of tissues Organ system – consists of different organs that work closely together Organismal – made up of the organ systems
