Introduction to the Structural Units
Chapter 1 Introduction to the Structural Units
2
Learning Targets 1. I can identify the major parts of each body system. 2. I can describe the functions of each body system. 3. I can demonstrate anatomical positions. 4. I can demonstrate terminology of body directions. 5. I can list the body cavities and an organ located in each. 6. I can define organs and describe their relationship to a body system. 7. I can describe aging of the body. 8. I will have Knowledge of Metric System.
3
Anatomy and Physiology
Shape and structure of an organism’s body and the relationship of one body part to another Physiology Function of each body part and how the functions of various body parts coordinate to form a complete living organism
4
Branches of Anatomy Gross anatomy Microscopic anatomy
Studies Large/easily observed structures on an organism Dissection & visible inspection with naked eye Microscopic anatomy See though microscope Cytology- study of structure/function/dev of cells Histology- study of tissue & organs
5
Branches of Anatomy Developmental anatomy Comparative anatomy
Studies growth & development of organism during lifetime Embryology- studies formation of organism from egg to birth Comparative anatomy Human compared to animals Systematic anatomy Study of organs Ex: dermatology, endocrinology, neurology
6
Create a foldable… Branches Of Anatomy
-Anatomy -Physiology -Gross -Developmental -Cytology -Histology -Microscopic -Embryology -Comparative -Systematic
7
Anatomical Position
8
Terms for Location or Position and Direction
Anterior or ventral Front or in front of Posterior or dorsal Back or in back of Cephalic/Crainal and caudal Toward the “head end” or “tail end” Superior and inferior Above or below another
9
Terms for Location or Position and Direction
Medial and lateral Toward or away from the midline Proximal and distal Toward or away from the point of attachment or origin Superficial/external and internal On or near the surface or deep inside
10
If you are standing straight with your hands at your sides, where are your arms located in relation to your body? Superior Caudal Lateral Ventral
11
George has a cramp in the posterior part of his leg. Where is the cramp?
Ankle Knee Shin Calf
12
An autopsy photo shows the dorsal/posterior side of the victim
An autopsy photo shows the dorsal/posterior side of the victim. What could you see in the photograph? Back of the head Kidneys Knees Front of the abdomen
13
Of the following, what structures are the MOST medial?
Ears Hips Eyes Lips
14
Create a foldable… Anatomic Terminology
Anterior or Ventral Posterior or Dorsal Cranial vs Caudal Superior vs Inferior Medial vs Lateral Proximal vs Distal Superficial/External vs Deep/Internal
15
Body Planes and Sections
Sagittal plane Right and left parts Midsagittal plane Equal right and left parts Coronal (frontal) plane Vertical at right angles to the sagittal plane Transverse or cross section Horizontal; divides body into upper and lower parts

19
If the body were cut in a transverse plane, what organ would NOT be in the same half as the other three? Brain Bladder Lungs Heart
20
If you divided the body with a midsagittal plane and added up the number of eyes, arms and toes on one side, how many would you have? 5 7 9 12
21
Media Link TIME!!!!!! Body Planes
22
Body Cavities © 2014 Cengage Learning.
23
Body Cavities Dorsal cavity Thoracic cavity Abdominopelvic cavity
Brain and spinal cord Cranial cavity Spinal cavity Thoracic cavity Chest area Abdominopelvic cavity Abdominal cavity Pelvic cavity
24
Smaller Cavities Orbital cavity Nasal cavity Buccal cavity
Eyes, eyeball muscles, optic nerves, and lacrimal (tear) ducts Nasal cavity Parts that form the nose Buccal cavity Teeth and tongue
27
What cavity would a surgeon enter to repair a heart defect?
Dorsal Thoracic Abdominal Pelvic
28
QUIZ time
29
Review of Body Cavities
30
9 Abdominopelvic Cavity Regions
Epigastric region (upper) Just below sternum Right and left hypochondriac Just below ribs Umbilical (middle) Located around the navel
31
9 Abdominopelvic Cavity Regions
Right and left lumbar Extend from anterior to posterior Hypogastric (lower) Pubic area Right and left iliac Also called right and left inguinal areas
32

33
4 Abdominal Quadrants
34
Did you know?????? If you are having RLQ pain or Right inguinal area pain, this area is PAINFUL when a person has appendicitis.
35
FOLDABLE TIME!!!!!
36
GROUP WORK Life-size Anatomical Position Poster
Draw an outline of somebody in your group's body… 1. In other words, pick somebody from your group & trace the outline of their body 2. Next, Draw & Label the terms we just discussed for location or positon & direction 3. Everybody must participate to get a grade Draw & label the following: A. body planes & sections B. body cavities C. the nine regions of the abdominopelvic cavity D. the four divisions of the abdominal quadrants E. Directional terms
37
Life Functions Living organisms may be one-celled organisms or multi-celled organisms. They include humans, plants, animals, etc. All living organisms are capable of carrying on life functions. These functions allow living organisms to live, grow, and maintain themselves.
38
Life Functions Movement Ingestion Digestion Muscle system
Digestive system Digestion
39
Life Functions Transport Respiration Synthesis Circulatory system
Respiratory system Synthesis Digestive system
40
Life Functions Assimilation Growth Secretion Digestive system
Skeletal system Secretion Endocrine system
41
Life Functions Excretion Regulation (sensitivity) Reproduction
Urinary system Regulation (sensitivity) Nervous system Reproduction Reproductive system
42
Human Development Cells Tissues Organs Organ system
43
Body Processes Metabolism
Functional activities of the cell that result in growth, repair, energy release, use of food, and secretions Anabolism Building up Catabolism Breaking down
44
Homeostasis Ability of the body to regulate its internal environment within narrow limits Essential to survival Works on a negative feedback system
45
Metric System Measurements for length, weight, and volume
A decimal system Based on the power of ten Uses prefixes such as centi-, milli-, and micro- Lengths measured in meters Weights measured in grams Volumes measured in liters
46
Metric System 5mL=1 teaspoon 15mL=1 tablespoon 30mL=1 ounce
