1. Intro to the Human Body

2. What is “anatomy”?
Anatomy is the study of a structure of a living thing and its relationship to the structure near it
it is how things are built
Macroscopic: can be seen by the naked eye
Microscopic: cannot be seen by the naked eye
think cells

3. What is “physiology”?
Physiology is the study of how specific anatomical structures function
this is mostly on the microscopic level

4. How are anatomy and physiology related?
It is important to realize that structure (anatomy) determines the function (physiology)
Example: the heart has many chambers and it is extremely muscular. It is because of these characteristics that enable the heart to perform its function (pumping and circulating blood)

5. How is the human body organized?

6. In this class, we will be integrating all levels of organization, but mostly with the organ system portion.
We will now get a brief overview of the different organ systems will be dealing with this year! (Now is the time to get excited!)
