1
Anatomy & Physiology The Human Body
2
Body Organization What’s the smallest unit of life? Cell
Human Body: trillion cells
3
Body Organization (cont.)
Cells tissues organs organ systems organisms
4
Levels of Organization
5
Skeletal System Bones: 22 skull 27 hand 26 foot
6
Skeletal System (cont.)
# of bones: Adults 206 Babies 300
7
Bone Structure Bone cells are living
Contain nerves, blood vessels & marrow
8
Compact & Spongy Bone
9
Bone Marrow - thick & jelly like - stores fat - makes blood cells
Bone Structure (cont.) Bone Marrow - thick & jelly like - stores fat - makes blood cells
10
Bones lined with dense tissue: cartilage Cushions bones
Bone Structure (cont.) Bones lined with dense tissue: cartilage Cushions bones Provides support
11
Tendons: Tough fibers that connect muscle to bone
Bone Structure (cont.) Tendons: Tough fibers that connect muscle to bone
12
Ligaments: Tough fibers that connect bone to bone
Bone Structure (cont.) Ligaments: Tough fibers that connect bone to bone
13
Function of Bones 1. Support – provides framework for the body
2. Protection – for the brain, spinal cord, and vital organs
14
Function of Bones (cont.)
3. Movement – lever for muscle 4. Attachment – tendons connect muscle to bone
15
Function of Bones (cont.)
5. Blood Cell Production occurs in bone marrow 6. Mineral Storage Calcium & Phosphorus
17
Bone Connections
18
Fixed Joint Connects plate-like bones of the skull
19
Hinge Joint Allows movement in two directions (Front & Back)
Ex. Elbow, Knee
20
Ball & Socket Joint Allows full range of motion Ex. shoulder
21
Cracking Knuckles Space between joints widen
Air bubble forms in the synovial fluid (joint lubricant) Bubble bursts and makes cracking sound
22
Skeletal Conditions Bursitis Scoliosis Osteoporosis Arthritis Sprain
Fracture
23
Bursitis Inflammation of the bursa (sac)
24
Scoliosis Curvature of the spine
25
Osteoporosis Inefficient bone replacement
5-10% of bone mass lost every 10 years past age of 40
26
Arthritis Joint inflammation Ex. Rheumatoid arthritis
27
Sprain Over stretching of ligaments or tendons
Torn ligaments require surgery
28
Fracture Broken bone Multiple types
