2
Anatomy Study of the structure and shape of the body and its partsPhysiology Study of how the body and its parts work or function
3
Gross anatomy Large structures Easily observable Figure 14.1
4
Microscopic Anatomy Very small structures Can only be viewed with a microscope Figure 14.4c–d
5
Atoms Molecules Macromolecules Organelles Cells Tissues Organs Organ Systems Organism
7
Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Nervous Endocrine Cardiovascular Lymphatic Digestive Respiratory Urinary Reproductive (male & female)
9
Figure 1.2a Integumentary Forms the external body covering Protects deeper tissue from injury Helps regulate body temperature Location of cutaneous nerve receptors
10
Figure 1.2b Skeletal Protects and supports body organs Provides muscle attachment for movement Site of blood cell formation Stores minerals
11
Figure 1.2c Muscular Produces movement Maintains posture Produces heat
12
Nervous Fast-acting control system Responds to internal and external change Activates muscles and glands Figure 1.2d
13
Endocrine Secretes regulatory hormones Growth Reproduction Metabolism Figure 1.2e
14
Figure 1.2f Cardiovascular Transports materials in body via blood pumped by heart Oxygen Carbon dioxide Nutrients Wastes
15
Lymphatic Returns fluids to blood vessels Cleanses the blood Involved in immunity Figure 1.2g
16
Respiratory Keeps blood supplied with oxygen Removes carbon dioxide Figure 1.2h
17
Digestive Breaks down food Allows for nutrient absorption into blood Eliminates indigestible material Figure 1.2i
18
Urinary Eliminates nitrogenous wastes Maintains acid-base balance Regulates water and electrolytes Figure 1.2j
19
Reproductive Produces offspring Figure 1.2k–l
20
Maintain boundaries Movement Locomotion Movement of substances Responsiveness Ability to sense changes and react Break-down and absorption of nutrients
21
Metabolism—chemical reactions within the body Produces energy Makes body structures Excretion Eliminates waste from metabolic reactions
22
Reproduction Produces future generation Growth Increases cell size and number of cells
23
Nutrients Chemicals for energy and cell building Includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals Oxygen Required for chemical reactions
24
Water 60–80% of body weight Provides for metabolic reaction Stable body temperature Atmospheric pressure Must be appropriate

26
Homeostasis—maintenance of a stable internal environment A dynamic state of equilibrium Homeostasis is necessary for normal body functioning and to sustain life Homeostatic imbalance A disturbance in homeostasis resulting in disease
27
Figure 1.4 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Input: Information sent along afferent pathway to Receptor (sensor) Effector Variable (in homeostasis) Response of effector feeds back to influence magnitude of stimulus and returns variable to homeostasis Control center Imbalance Output: Information sent along efferent pathway to activate
28
Figure 1.4, step 1a Variable (in homeostasis)
29
Figure 1.4, step 1b Stimulus: Produces change in variable Variable (in homeostasis) Imbalance

Figure 1.4, step 2 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Receptor (sensor) Variable (in homeostasis) Imbalance
31
Figure 1.4, step 3 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Input: Information sent along afferent pathway to Receptor (sensor) Variable (in homeostasis) Control center Imbalance
32
Figure 1.4, step 4 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Input: Information sent along afferent pathway to Receptor (sensor) Effector Variable (in homeostasis) Output: Information sent along efferent pathway to activate Control center Imbalance
33
Figure 1.4, step 5 Change detected by receptor Stimulus: Produces change in variable Input: Information sent along afferent pathway to Receptor (sensor) Effector 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 activate Control center Imbalance
34
The body communicates through neural and hormonal control systems Receptor Responds to changes in the environment (stimuli) Sends information to control center
35
Control center Determines set point Analyzes information Determines appropriate response Effector Provides a means for response to the stimulus a muscle contracting to move the arm a muscle squeezing saliva from the salivary gland a gland releasing a hormone into the blood
36
The purpose of organ systems is to provide an organism with a stable internal environment. Injury and illness disrupt this internal balance. The body remains in homeostasis by a system called negative feedback. Human and Animal medicine attempts to regain homeostasis within particular systems which cannot regain balance due to illness and injury.
38
Special terminology is used to prevent misunderstanding Exact terms are used for Position Direction Regions Structures Anatomical Position – a standard body position for studying the body

A median (sagittal) section divides the body (or organ) into equal left and right parts A frontal (coronal) section divides the body (or organ) into anterior and posterior parts A transverse (cross) section divides the body (or organ) into superior and inferior parts
47
Dorsal body cavity Cranial cavity houses the brain Spinal cavity houses the spinal cord Ventral body cavity Thoracic cavity houses heart, lungs and others Abdominopelvic cavity houses digestive system and most urinary system organs

Serous membranes line the walls of cavities and cover organs. These membranes secrete serous fluid which lubricate the free surfaces.
