1. What is Human Anatomy and Physiology?

3. Human Anatomy:
The study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts with their relationships.

4. Human Physiology:
The study of how the body parts work and function together.

5. Body composition:
Atom
Cells
Tissue
Organ
Organ system
Organism

7. There are 11 organ systems that make up the human body:

8. I. Integumentary system:
Makes up our skin
Water proof
Regulates body temperature
Protection from disease
Area to receive stimulus-nerve receptors

9. II. Skeletal system:
Made up of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and joints
Gives framework for muscle attachment and support
Protection-skull protects the brain
Storage
Hematopoiesis-formation of blood cells

11. III. Muscular system: Movement of our body
Movement of body fluids-blood, urine and food
Contract to shorten and relax to lengthen

12. IV. Nervous system: Body’s control system Responds to stimuli
Very fast moving to response and action

14. V. Endocrine system: Controls body systems by release of hormones
Very slow action
Regulates other processes: cell growth, reproduction and food use
Controls other structures: pituitary, thymus, thyroid, pancreas, ovaries, testes, pineal and adrenal glands

15. VI. Circulatory system:
Transport and delivery system
Made up of the cardiovascular system (heart & blood vessels) and lymphatic system (lymph nodes & lymphatic vessels)
Spleen and tonsils are also a part of this system
Cleans the blood, moves oxygen, nutrients, hormones, wastes, and toxins
Helps fight foreign invaders-WBC

16. VII. Respiratory system:
Supplies oxygen and removes carbon dioxide
Made up of nasal passages, larynx, lungs, pharynx, tracheobronchi and alveoli

18. VIII. Digestive system:
Tube from mouth to anus
Breaks down food and delivers the products to the blood
Digestive organ-liver produces bile to reduce fats
Pancreas makes digestive enzymes

19. IV. Urinary system: Maintains body’s water and salt balance
Removes nitrogen containing wastes (poisons) from the blood and flushes them out of the body (excretory system)

20. X. Reproductive system:
Produce offspring
