Chapter 1 Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology
2
Anatomy – the structure of body parts (also called Morphology)
Physiology – the function of the body parts, what they do and how they do it The structure determines the function.

Axial Portion - head, neck, trunk Appendicular Portion - arms & legs
1. Several body cavities & Layers of membranes within cavities 2. Variety of organs and organ systems within cavities (VISCERA = internal organs. "Visceral organs")
6
Body Cavities Dorsal = back side Ventral = front side
Thoracic = chest (heart, trachea, lungs..) Abdomen = stomach area (spleen, intestines) Pelvic = lower abdomen (bladder, reproductive organs) DIAPHRAGM: Separates the thoracic and pelvic region
9
Inner layer = visceral (lines the organs)
MEMBRANES Serous Membrane - two layers, covers organs Outer layer = parietal Inner layer = visceral (lines the organs) Serous fluid – lubricating fluid
10
Other Membranes Pleura = lungs Pericardium = heart Peritoneum = organs (abdominopelvic region)
11
Visceral Pleura Parietal Pleura
Visceral and Parietal always mean the same thing. Visceral points toward the guts Parietal points toward the outside Visceral Pleura Parietal Pleura Visceral Pericardium Parietal Pericardium Visceral Peritoneum Parietal Peritoneum LUNGS HEART INTESTINES
