1
In your own words and off the top
of your head: Explain the difference between anatomy and physiology. How are they related? Give one example of how form determines function
2
Human Body Orientation
Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology
3
Anatomy - study of form or structure
Other terms include shape, and appearance
4
Branches of Anatomy gross - large structures
regional anatomy - studies all structures and their function in one region ex: abdomen, arm systemic anatomy - system by system
5
surface anatomy studies the external features without dissection
6
2. microscopic - includes
cytology- study of cells and histology- study of tissues
7
embryology- changes before birth
3. developmental - changes from conception to old age embryology- changes before birth
8
4. pathological anatomy - changes caused by diseases
5. molecular biology - structure of molecules necessary for body structure and function
9
Physiology - functioning of body parts .
10
How are Anatomy and Physiology related?
IMPORTANT CONCEPT A & P inseparable because function always reflects structure ex: lungs serve as site for gas exchange because air sac walls are extremely thin
11
Hierarchy of Structural Organization
12
How are humans organized structurally?
13
Hierarchy of Structural Organization
cellular chemical (includes organelles and cells) tissues organs organ systems individual
14
chemical Glucose Protein Lipids Water DNA
15
organelles Organelles are the functional units of cells. ribosome
mitochondria Golgi complex nucleus
16
cells Cells are units of structure and function.
17
Body Systems In your notebook: Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Nervous
Endocrine Cardiovascular Lymphatic Or Immune Digestive Respiratory Urinary Reproductive In your notebook: Define and give several examples of each term Tissues Organs Organ systems For each system: Describe its general function List 3 – 4 major organs
18
