14
Commitment This is a very difficult class that requires learning what is essentially a new language Because it is a prerequisite, the class is designed by the college as an overview: lots of breadth, little depth Expect 20+ hours of reading and studying each week in addition to class sessions The pace is a little frantic so missing class is not recommended. Saturday class especially!
15
Exams First 4 exams taken during class 75 points each 1 hour+ Final (Exam 5): NOT cumulative 100 points Due on Thursday of finals week (Dec 16)
16
Exams Five exams: 10/16 Exam 1 (Chaps 1-3) 10/23 Exam 2 (Chaps 4, 5) 11/6Exam 3 (Chaps 6, 7) 11/20Exam 4 (Chaps 8 -10) 12/16 ThursExam 5 due (Chaps 11 - 15)
17
In Class Exams A little more than half objective questions: multiple-choice, matching, true/false The rest: fill-in-the-blank, short answer, short essay, and diagram labeling You will need a Scantron form and a #2 pencil for each exam. Not cumulative per se
18
In Class Exams Exams may not be rescheduled or made-up due to tardiness or absence. Students with extraordinary circumstances should discuss them with the instructor as soon as the situation occurs. If you know ahead of time that you will miss an exam for a valid reason, I may be able to accommodate you but let me know as far ahead of time as possible.
19
Take Home Exam 5 Covers chapters 11-15 (NOT cumulative) 100 points Some multiple choice and fill in but mostly short answer and essay Assigned at the last class meeting (12/11) Due via email at midnight on Thursday, 12/16
20
Labs Many laboratory exercises must be completed in the laboratory. Students who miss a laboratory exercise should come in during open lab time to make up that exercise Lab exercises will be due the following week Lab activities are designed to help prepare you for the practical quizzes, but lab material is also fair game on exams
21
Lab Practical Quizzes Four, each worth 50 points Cover the material on the “Lab Practical Study Guide” in the syllabus They will involve identifying slides, projected pictures of slides, bones, muscle models, brain models, or diagrams Because of the time required to set up these quizzes, they cannot be made up. If you miss it, you are out of luck.
22
Lab Practical Quizzes 10/30Practical 1: Histology 11/13Practical 2: Bones 11/27Practical 3: Muscles 12/11 Practical 4: Nervous
23
Lab Reports and Assignments Total of 200 points
24
Lab Reports For each lab assigned, complete all the questions on the lab manual “Review Sheet” at the end of each lab entitled and turn it in to me the week following each lab. NOTE: you must turn in the actual pages torn out of a laboratory manual; no photocopies will be accepted. You must also include any data obtained from the lab exercise or drawings of microscope slides.
25
Assignments In class group work or individual take-home Case studies or in-depth look at a topic 2-4 assigned depending on timing
26
Lectures Lecture slides available on course website before lecture (all are posted now) Lecture material (slides, plus what I say in class) will be what I ask about on exams “Objectives” for each unit will be posted on the website at the beginning of each unit. These are a general idea of what you should know for the exams.
27
Saturday Class The Saturday class is one week shorter than the other classes This causes some scheduling issues that mean that the timing of the exams and practicals is not always optimal Also as a result, we will have to skip through some portions of the lecture slides; you will still be responsible for the material on the exam Use the objectives as your guide for studying the notes
28
Saturday Class About half lecture and half lab (usually a little more lecture) In addition to short breaks every hour or so, there will be a lunch break each class session of 30-45 minutes. Often it works best to combine this break with lab time and have a long break in the middle of the day for both lunch and lab.
29
Example Day: Lecture 8:30 -9:30 Break 9:30-9:40 Lecture 9:40-10:40 Break 10:40-10:50 Lab 11-12 Lunch 12-12:45 Lab 12:45-1:45 Lecture or activity 2:00-3:00
30
Objectives List of learning goals that need to be achieved for you to do well in this class Contain what the I and other teachers at NSCC have deemed to be the most important things for you to know to go on in a health- related career Available on the course website
31
Attendance Students should try to attend every class session. If you miss a class session, it is your responsibility to obtain the lecture notes, to make up laboratory experiments and to obtain handouts, assignments or other materials distributed in class. ESPECIALLY because we meet only once a week.

Questions?
34
Introduction to the Human Body
35
Anatomy “tome” means to cut in Greek Describes the structures of the body: what they are made of where they are located associated structures
36
Physiology Is the study of: functions of anatomical structures, both individual and cooperative
37
KEY CONCEPT All physiological functions are performed by specific anatomical structures Principle of complementarity says that structure and function are complementary Function always reflects structure What a structure can do depends on its specific form
38
Introduction Key to learning anatomy is understanding function For example: Left side of heart is larger than right. Why is that? Structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) are intimately related
39
Gross Anatomy Structures large enough that one can see with the unaided eye Surface Anatomy - study of superficial markings Regional Anatomy - The study of specific areas of the body (e.g. head, trunk) Systemic Anatomy - Study of the 11* specific organ systems
40
11 Organ systems Integumentary* Nervous* Skeletal* Endocrine Muscular* Cardiovascular Lymphatic Urinary Respiratory Reproductive Digestive
41
Microscopic Anatomy Cf. Gross anatomy Involves studying anatomical structures that cannot be seen with the unaided eye 1. Cytology - cells 2. Histology - tissue
42
Physiology = Function Considers the operation of specific organ systems Renal – kidney function Neurophysiology – workings of the nervous system Cardiovascular – operation of the heart and blood vessels Focuses on the functions of the body, often at the cellular or molecular level
43
Anatomical Organization We will start from the smallest and finish with the largest
44
Levels of Organization Chemical Level: - atoms (e.g. carbon) combine to form molecules (e.g. glucose) Cellular level: Smallest living units in organisms Cells contain organelles, each with a function Tissue level - different groups of cells that perform a function Organ Level - Different types of tissues that perform a common function Organ system – consists of different organs that work closely together
45
1 2 4 5 6 3 Smooth muscle cell Molecules Atoms Smooth muscle tissue Epithelial tissue Heart Blood vessels Smooth muscle tissue Connective tissue Blood vessel (organ) Cardiovascular system Cellular level Cells are made up of molecules. Tissue level Tissues consist of similar types of cells. Organ level Organs are made up of different types of tissues. Organ system level Organ systems consist of different organs that work together closely. Organismal level The human organism is made up of many organ systems. Chemical level Atoms combine to form molecules. Levels of Structural Organization Figure 1.1
46
Other Levels Organismal Level - All systems working together (e.g. humans) Ecological level - How organisms interact with each other and their environment
47
KEY CONCEPT The body is divided into 11 organ systems All organ systems work together Integration
48
Homeostasis Homeostasis: ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment in an ever- changing outside world All body systems working together to maintain a stable internal environment, respond to external and internal changes to function within a normal range (body temperature, fluid balance) The internal environment of the body is in a dynamic state of equilibrium Failure to function within a normal range results in disease
49
Homeostatic Control Mechanisms Variables produce a change in the body The three interdependent components of control mechanisms: Receptor – monitors the environments and responds to changes (stimuli). Control center – determines the set point at which the variable is maintained. Effector – provides the means to respond to stimuli.
50
Homeostatic Control Mechanisms Figure 1.4 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Input: Information sent along afferent pathway to Receptor (sensor)Effector Control center Variable (in homeostasis) Response of effector feeds back to influence magnitude of stimulus and returns variable to homeostasis Output: Information sent along efferent pathway to Imbalance 2 3 4 5 1
51
Regulation Intrinsic regulation When a process regulates itself with no help. Most regulatory systems in the body use extrinsic regulation: responses controlled by nervous and endocrine systems, e.g. brain regulates body temp Usually occurs by negative feedback
52
Feedback When the end result or product of a process “feeds back” upon the stimulus to change it Negative feedback: end product negates or opposes the stimulus Positive feedback: end product enhances or facilitates the stimulus
53
Negative Feedback Most common way that homeostasis is maintained in the body In negative feedback systems, the response of the effector negates or opposes the stimulus (shuts off the original stimulus) Example: Regulation of room temperature by a thermostat
54
Figure 1.5 Signal wire turns heater on Signal wire turns heater off Response; temperature rises Response; temperature drops Stimulus: rising room temperature Stimulus: dropping room temperature Balance Effector (heater) Effector (heater) Set point Control center (thermostat) Heater off Set point Receptor-sensor (thermometer in Thermostat) Control center (thermostat) Heater on Imbalance Receptor-sensor (thermometer in Thermostat)
55
Figure 1–4 Negative Feedback
56
Positive Feedback NOT a way to maintain homeostasis Rare in nature because it is a “runaway train” The response of the effector output reinforces or exaggerates the stimulus (e.g. blood clotting, ovulation, action potential) Figure 1–5
57
Homeostatic Imbalance Disturbance of homeostasis or the body’s normal equilibrium Overwhelming the usual negative feedback mechanisms allows destructive positive feedback mechanisms to take over This is often used as the definition of “disease”
58
Anatomical terms
59
Anatomical Position Hands at sides, palms forward
60
Orientation of terms Note that Left/Right are reversed in anatomical figures WHY?
61
Directional Terms Superior and Inferior – toward and away from the head, respectively Anterior and Posterior – toward the front and back of the body Medial and Lateral – toward the midline, away from the midline Proximal and Distal – closer to and farther from the origin of the body part (or from the torso) Superficial and Deep – toward and away from the body surface Cranial and Caudal – toward the head and toward the tail
62
Alternate Terms Ventral (= Anterior) Dorsal (= Posterior)
64
Body Planes Sometimes to gain a greater understanding of 3D images anatomists cut the image at different planes Three planes exists in 3D space -Two are parallel to the long axis of the body -One is perpendicular to the long axis.
65
Body Planes Figure 1.8
66
Body Planes Sagittal – parallel to long axis, divides the body into right and left parts midsagittal or medial – sagittal plane that lies on the midline Frontal or coronal – also parallel to long axis, divides the body into anterior and posterior parts Transverse or horizontal (cross section) – perpendicular to long axis, divides the body into superior and inferior parts
67
Anatomical Variability Humans vary slightly in both external and internal anatomy Over 90% of all anatomical structures match textbook descriptions, but: Nerves or blood vessels may be somewhat out of place Small muscles may be missing Extreme anatomical variations are seldom seen
68
Body Cavities Dorsal cavity protects the nervous system, and is divided into two subdivisions Cranial cavity – within the skull; encases the brain Vertebral cavity – runs within the vertebral column; encases the spinal cord Ventral cavity houses the internal organs (viscera), and is divided into two subdivisions Thoracic Abdominopelvic
69
Body Cavities Figure 1.9a Cranial cavity (contains brain) Dorsal body cavity Diaphragm Abdominal cavity (contains digestive viscera) Pelvic cavity (contains bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum) Vertebral cavity (contains spinal cord) Key: Dorsal body cavity Ventral body cavity Thoracic cavity (contains heart and lungs) (a) Lateral view
70
Ventral Body Cavity Membranes Called serous membranes or serosa Parietal serosa lines internal body walls Visceral serosa covers the internal organs Serous fluid separates the serosae
