Anatomy and Physiology
2
Anatomy and Physiology
Turn to a neighbor and talk about: What you think you will learn about in this class The definition of anatomy The definition of physiology
3
Biology Study of life Requirements: Functions: Water Food Oxygen Heat
Pressure Functions: Responsiveness Growth Reproduction Movement Metabolism (Respiration, Digestion, Excretion, etc.)
4
Anatomy “a cutting open” in Greek
Studies the field of structure (morphology)
5
Physiology Studies the performance or function
6
Anatomy and Physiology
“Form and Function”
7
Levels of Organization and Organ Systems
9
Levels of Organization
Chemical/Molecular Cellular Tissue – cells performing specific function Organ – tissues performing specific function Organ System Organism
10
How many organ systems can you name?
11
Organ Systems Integumentary Skeletal Muscle Nervous Endocrine
Cardiovascular Lymphatic Respiratory Digestive Urinary Reproductive (male and female)
12
Integumentary Epidermis (skin), hair, nails
Protects against environmental hazards, controls body temp
13
Skeletal System Bones, cartilage
Provides support, protects tissues, stores minerals, forms blood
14
Muscular System Muscles, tendons
Allows locomotion, provides support, produces heat
15
Nervous System Nerves, brain, spinal cord
Directs immediate response to stimuli, usually coordinates activities of other systems
16
Endocrine System Glands
Directs long-term changes in activities of other organ systems
17
Cardiovascular System
Heart, blood vessels, blood Transports cells and dissolved materials (nutrients, wastes, gases)
18
Lymphatic System Lymphatic vessels and nodes, spleen, thymus
Defends against infection and disease, returns tissue fluid to bloodstream
19
Respiratory System Nasal cavities, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs Delivers air to sites where gas exchange can occur between the air and circulating blood
20
Digestive System Salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas Processes food and absorbs nutrients
21
Urinary System Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra
Eliminates excess water, salts and waste products
22
Reproductive System Male: testes, accessory organs, external genitalia (penis, scrotum) Female: ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, external genitalia (clitoris, labia), mammary glands Produces sex cells and hormones
