HAP Chapter 1
2
Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy – study of structure (appearances, locations and relationships of body parts). (Greek – “a cutting up”) Physiology – study of function (Greek – “relationship to nature”)
3
Theme: Structure determines function
4
Theme: Homeostasis Body’s maintenance of a stable internal environment Homeostatic Mechanisms – monitor aspects of the internal environment and correct any changes – Receptors - provide information about stimuli – Control center - tells what a particular value should be (includes a set point) – Effectors - elicit responses that change conditions in the internal environment
5
Homeostasis
6
Negative Feedback – A Variation outside the normal limits triggers an automatic response that corrects the situation Example: Temperature regulation
7
Homeostasis Positive Feedback – The initial stimulus produces a response that reinforces that stimulus Example: Blood clot formation, child birth, histamine response
8
Disease When homeostatic regulation fails, organ systems begin to malfunction, and the individual experiences symptoms of illness.
9
Anatomical Terminology Anatomical Position – standing erect, facing forward, upper limbs at the sides, palms facing forward Terms of Relative Position – Superior versus Inferior – Anterior versus Posterior – Medial versus Lateral – Proximal versus Distal – Superficial versus Deep
