1
Anatomy study of structure and shape of body
body parts and body parts in relation to another Gross Anatomy Large easily observable structures Ex. heart, bones, skin Microscopic Anatomy Small structures Ex. cells and tissues
2
Physiology study of how the body works and functions Neurophysiology
how the nervous system works Cardiac Physiology How heart and blood vessels work
3
Anatomy & Physiology Structure determines function Examples:
Heart muscular chamber = pumping blood Lungs thin walls = gas exchange
4
Levels of Organization
Chemicals Atoms Molecules Cell Tissues Organs Organ Systems Organisms
6
Integumentary System Skin External covering of the body Functions
Waterproofs, cushions and protects Temperature control
8
Skeletal System Bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints Functions
Supports Protects
10
Muscular System Skeletal muscles Functions Locomotion Support
12
Nervous System Brain, Spinal Cord, Nerves, and sensory receptors
Functions Control systems of the body Respond to stimuli
14
Endocrine System Produce hormones Functions
Slowly controls systems of the body Long term changes in organ systems
16
Cardiovascular System
Heart and Blood Vessels Functions Transportation of cells and minerals Blood to tissue
18
Lymphatic System Immune system Complements cardiovascular Function
Defense against infections
20
Respiratory System Nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs Gas exchange in lungs Function Constant supply of O2 Removes CO2
22
Digestive System Tube from mouth to anus Function Process food
Absorb nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and H2O
24
Urinary System Excretory system Urinary bladder, ureters, and urethra
Function Disposes of waste Maintains water/salt and acid/base
25
Reproductive System Female Male Function Ovary, uterus, and vagina
Scrotum, testis, and penis Function Disposes of waste Maintains water/salt and acid/base
26
Life Functions Boundaries Movement Responsiveness Digestion Metabolism
Excretion Reproduction Growth
27
Boundaries External vs. Internal External - skin Internal - cells
Protects from desiccation, bacteria, heat, sunlight, and chemicals Internal - cells Allows necessary substances in Keeps damaging substances out
28
Movement External Internal Muscular and skeletal system
Blood, food, and urine through organs
29
Responsiveness Senses changes in environment and reacts
30
Digestion Breaks down food for absorption
Delivered to cells through cardiovascular system
31
Metabolism All chemical reactions that happen in body cells Examples:
Complex into simple Make larger structures from smaller Produce ATP
32
Excretion Removes waste Digestive system Urinary system
Indigestible food Urinary system Metabolic waste through urine
33
Reproduction Production of offspring Cells Organism
Divide then used for body growth and repair Organism Sperm and eggs
34
Growth Increase in cell # Cell making > cell destroying
35
Survival Needs Nutrients O2 H2O Body temp Atmospheric Pressure
36
Nutrients Chemicals used for energy and cell building
Carbohydrates - provides energy for body cells Proteins - essential for building cell Fats - essential for building cell, cushion body organs, reserve fuel Vitamins and Minerals - needed for chemical reactions, O2 transport in blood
37
Oxygen (O2) Needed for chemical reactions that release energy from food 20% of air
38
Water (H2O) 60-80% of body weight
Fluid base for secretions and excretions Ingested from foods and liquids Lost by evaporation
39
Body Temperature Maintained by activity of skeletal muscles
98˚F or 37˚C Decreases Metabolic reactions decrease Increases Proteins break down
40
Atmospheric Pressure Force exerted on body by weight of air
Exchange of O2 and CO2 (breathing) depends on atm. pressure
