Ch. 1 Warm-Up 1.How is anatomy different from physiology? 2.What are the levels of organization of the human body from smallest largest? 3.List the 11 organ systems of the body.
2
Intro to Anatomy & Physiology UNIT 1
3
Objectives: Explore the history of Anatomy & Physiology Explain how structure complements function Name the levels of structural organization List the functions necessary for life List the survival needs of the body Define homeostasis and explain its significance Use correct anatomical terms to describe the body
4
Anatomy: studies the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another Physiology: the function of the body parts Complementarity of Structure & Function ▫What a structure can do depends on its specific form ▫“Structure determines function”
5
Subdivisions of Anatomy Gross or Macroscopic ▫parts visible to naked eye Microscopic ▫Cytology: study of cells ▫Histology: study of tissues Developmental ▫Embryology: study changes that occur before birth
6
History of Anatomy & Physiology Egyptians perfected mummification ▫Major organs cleaned and placed in clay jars ▫Body cavity filled with sawdust-like materials ▫Natron used to dry the body ▫Wrapped in linen Then covered in a shroud
7
Ancient Egyptians In the process of mummifying people ancient Egyptians were able to identify and document: ▫Heart & vessels ▫Liver ▫Spleen ▫Kidneys ▫Uterus ▫Bladder ▫Hypothalamus **Even though they didn’t really know what they did or how they worked…**
8
Ancient Greece Hippocrates ▫Hippocratic Corpus ▫Hippocratic Oath Aristotle ▫Father of comparative anatomy (based off of dissections) 1 st recorded school of anatomy ▫Alexandria The 1 st to allow cutting and examination of dead bodies (criminals only)
9
Ancient Greece gets weird… Galen ▫Performed vivisections on monkeys and pigs to gain physiological understanding YES, that means cutting open something while it is still alive… ▫Studied wounds of Gladiators Called wounds “windows into the body” Only 5 gladiators died under his care
10
16 th Century Anatomical Theatres ▫People traveled extreme distances to watch professors teach during dissections Stadium style seating Increased the number of people who could benefit from each cadaver Increased grave robbing ▫The discovery of electricity opened another can of worms… Galvanism: contraction of muscle due to electric current Ideas for Shelley’s “Frankenstein”
11
17 th & 18 th Centuries Many artists trained in anatomy in order to produce life-like artwork ▫Leonardo da Vinci ▫Michelangelo ▫Rembrandt This included attending lectures, public dissections, and private studies Only certified anatomists were allowed to perform dissections, but anyone could watch for a certain price
12
Levels of Structural Organization atomic molecular cellular tissue organ organ system organism
13
Overview of Organ Systems
19
Functions Necessary for Humans to Live 1.Maintaining boundaries (inside vs. outside) 2.Movement (internal & external) 3.Responsiveness: sense changes and respond 4.Digestion: break down foods for absorption 5.Metabolism: all chemical reactions in body 6.Excretion: remove wastes 7.Reproduction: cell division, whole organism 8.Growth: increase in size/part
20
Survival Needs Nutrients (Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Salt, etc.) Oxygen Water Normal Body Temperature (98.6 F or 37 C) Atmospheric Pressure & Gravity ▫“Packing for Mars” by Mary Roach
21
Homeostasis Maintain relatively stable internal conditions Receptor (input) control center effector (response) Negative (-) feedback: reduces effect of stimulus ▫Eg. body temp, breathing rate, blood sugar levels Positive (+) feedback: increases response ▫Eg. labor contractions, blood clotting Diseases = homeostatic imbalance
26
Anatomical Position Body erect, feet slightly apart, palm face forward, thumbs pointing out
27
Terms you need to know: Superior (cranial) Inferior (caudal) Ventral (anterior) Dorsal (posterior) Medial Lateral Proximal Distal Superficial (external) Deep (internal) Axial Appendicular Saggital plane Frontal (coronal) plane Transverse (horizontal) plane
28
Directional Terms
31
Regional Terms Axial: main part of body = head, neck, & trunk Appendicular: limbs attached to axis
32
The body can be divided into flat surfaces called planes Sagittal planeSagittal plane ▫divides into right/left Frontal/coronal planeFrontal/coronal plane ▫divides into anterior/posterior Transverse/horizontal planeTransverse/horizontal plane ▫divides into superior/inferior
37
Which plane is shown below? kidneys brain thigh
38
Body Cavities Dorsal body cavity:Dorsal body cavity: ▫Cranial cavity ▫Vertebral/spinal cavity Ventral body cavityVentral body cavity ▫Thoracic lungs, heart, trachea, esophagus ▫Abdominopelvic digestive, reproductive, urinary
39
Body Cavities Oral cavity (within mouth) Nasal cavity (inside nose) Orbital cavities (hold the eyes) Middle ear cavities (in skull, transmit & amplify sound)
40
Abdominopelvic Quadrants
41
Abdominopelvic Regions
