1
The Human Body Define Anatomy and Physiology
Explain how anatomy and Physiology are related Pg. 1-21
2
Anatomy vs. Physiology Anatomy the study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts and relationship to one another Physiology the study of how the body and its parts work or function. Anatomy and Physiology are related because knowing the structure and shape of the body and its parts allows you to understand how the body functions
3
Levels of Structural Organization
Gross Anatomy Large Structures Easily observable Microscopic Anatomy Very small structures Can only be viewed with a microscope
5
Integumentary System The external covering of the body, the skin
Waterproofs body Cushions and protects the deeper tissue from injury Temperature, pressure, and pain receptors located here to alert us of bodies surface
6
Skeletal System Consists of bone, cartilages, ligaments, and joints
Supports and protects the bodies organs Provides framework that the skeletal muscle uses to cause movement Stores minerals Site of blood cell formation
7
Muscular System One function Contract or shorten – movement
Maintains bodies posture Produces heat Formed by skeletal muscle Three Types of Muscle Smooth Skeletal Cardiac
8
Nervous System Fast acting control system
Sends and receives messages Responds to irritants or stimuli internal or external Activates muscles and glands
9
Endocrine System Controls the bodies activities but more slowly then nervous system Secretes regulatory hormones Growth Reproduction Metabolism
10
Cardiovascular System
Use blood as the transporting fluid pumped by the heart Oxygen Carbon dioxide Nutrients Waste
11
Lymphatic System Compliments the cardiovascular system Stores WBC
Involved in immunity Disposes of debris, bacteria, tumor cells
12
Respiratory System Keeps blood supplied with oxygen
Removes carbon dioxide
13
Digestive System A tube from the mouth to the anus
Break down food and deliver nutrients to the blood Eliminates indigestible material
14
Urinary System Removes the nitrogen containing waste from the blood
Flushes waste out with urine Balance and regulate acid-base balance of blood Regulation of materials like water and electrolytes
15
Reproductive System
16
Necessary Life Functions
1. Maintain Boundaries 2. Movement *Locomotion *Movement of substances 3. Responsiveness *Ability to sense changes and react 4. Digestion *Break-down *Delivery of nutrients
17
Necessary Life Functions
5. Metabolism *Production of energy *Making body structures 6. Excretion *Eliminate of waste from metabolic reaction 7. Reproduction *Production of future generation 8. Growth Increasing of cell size and number
18
Survival Needs Nutrients Oxygen Water Temperature Pressure
Chemicals for energy and cell building Includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals Oxygen Required for chemical reactions Water 60-80% of body weight Provides for metabolic reaction Temperature Stable body temperature Pressure Atmospheric pressure must be appropriate Survival Needs
19
Homeostasis Maintenance of a stable internal environment
A dynamic state of equilibrium Homeostasis must be maintained for a normal body functioning and to sustain life
20
Communication through neural and hormonal control system
Receptor Responds to changes in the environment Sends information to control center Control Center Determines set points & analyzes information Determines appropriate response Effector Provides a means for response to the stimulus
21
Homeostatic Control System
22
Homeostatic Controls Negative Feedback Most of homeostatic controls
Positive Feedback Mechanisms are rare in the body Increase the original disturbance (stimulus) and push variables further from original value Ex: Blood Clotting at the birth of the baby Negative Feedback Most of homeostatic controls Shut off original stimulus to reduce its intensity Ex: a home heating system connected to thermostat
23
Language of Anatomy Position Direction Regions Structures
Special Terminology is used to prevent misunderstanding Exact terms are used for
24
Orientation & Directional Terms
Superior Inferior The forehead is SUPERIOR to the nose The navel is INFERIOR to the breastbone
25
Orientation & Directional Terms
Posterior Anterior The heart is POSTERIOR to the breastbone The breastbone is ANTERIOR to the spine
26
Orientation & Directional Terms
Medial Lateral The heart is medial to the arm The arms are lateral to the chest
27
Orientation & Directional Terms
Superficial Intermediate The skin is SUPERFICIAL to the skeleton The collarbone is INTERMEDIATE between the breastbone and shoulder
28
Orientation & Directional Terms
Proximal Distal The elbow is PROXIMAL to the wrist The knee is DISTAL to the thigh
29
