1. Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology

2. Definitions
______________________________- the structure of the body parts (a.k.a. Morphology)
_______________________________- the function of the body parts..what they do and how they do it

3. Characteristics of Life
__________________________ self initiated change in position, motion of internal parts
__________________________(irritability)- Ability to sense changes within, or around the organism and react to those changes
____________________________increase in body size
____________________________Production of new organisms
____________________________obtaining oxygen (O2), using it to release energy from food substances, and getting rid of wastes

4. Continued..
_______________________________chemically changing (breaking down) food substances, and getting rid of wastes
_______________________________passage of digested products through membranes and into body fluids
_______________________________movement of substances throughout the body
_______________________________changing absorbed substances into chemically different substances
_______________________________removal of wastes
** Create a mental picture of yourself doing these things to help you remember

5. Mental Mapping I am walking to McDonalds I stop at the traffic light
My body is growing
I am breathing air
I get a hamburger and eat it
My body absorbs the hamburger
The hamburger travels throughout my body
The hamburger is changed into things my body needs
Eventually, I go to the bathroom
Someday I may produce offspring

6. Other Characteristics
Metabolism = all the ______________________and _______________________changes
Bodily Needs =
_________________________= tendency of the body to maintain a stable, balanced, internal environment (sameness)

7. Levels of organization

8. Atom
Molecule/Compound –
Organelle –
Cell –

Organ –
Organ System –
Organism –

9. General Organization
___________________Skeleton– head, neck, and trunk
Appendicular Skeleton–
Several body cavities
Layers of membranes within
Cavities
Variety of organs and organ
Systems within cavtities
- (________________= internal organs)

10. Body planes
__________________________: Plane that runs down through the body, dividing the body into left and right portions. Subsections of the sagittal plane include:
______________________ runs through the median plane and divides along the line of symmetry
_______________________ is parallel to midline but does not divide into equal left and right portions.
_______________________________ Plane that runs perpendicular to the sagittal plane and divides the body into anterior and posterior (front and back) portions.
_________________________________: Horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower portions; also called cross-section.
