1
Organizing principles of human body
2
Hierarchy of Structural Organization Each of these build upon one another to make up the next level: Chemical level Cellular Tissue Organ Organ system Organism
3
Hierarchy of Structural Organization Chemical level Atoms combine to make molecules 4 macromolecules in the body Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic acids
4
Hierarchy of Structural Organization Cellular Made up of cells and cellular organelles (molecules) Cells can be eukaryotic or prokaryotic Organelles are structures within cells that perform dedicated functions (“small organs”) http://cmweb.pvschools.net/~bbecke/newell/Cells.html
5
Hierarchy of Structural Organization Tissue Collection of cells that work together to perform a specialized function 4 basic types of tissue in the human body: Epithelium Connective tissue Muscle tissue Nervous tissue www.emc.maricopa.edu
6
Hierarchy of Structural Organization Organ Made up of tissue Heart Brain Liver Pancreas, etc…… Pg 181
7
Hierarchy of Structural Organization Organ system (11) Made up of a group of related organs that work together Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Nervous Endocrine Cardiovascular Lymphatic Respiratory Digestive Urinary Reproductive Circulatory Pg 341 Urinary System
8
Levels of Organization: COHN – 99.5% 99.9% = See figs. 1.3 & 1.4
9
Hierarchy of Structural Organization Organism An individual human, animal, plant, etc…… Made up all of the organ systems Work together to sustain life
10
The Cell Cells: structural and functional units of all living organisms. building blocks of the human body. adult human body contains ~ 75 trillion cells. Each cell type performs specific functions. ~200 cell types in humans subcategories of most
11
Common Characteristics of Cells Perform the general functions necessary to sustain life: Obtain nutrients and other materials from its surrounding fluids. Fuel molecules, O 2, building blocks, minerals,etc Dispose of wastes products Urea (from nitrogen), CO 2, metabolic waste Maintain shape and integrity Size and shape are related to function Cell division: Mitosis: growth and repair Meiosis: gamete formation
12
Study of Cells Cytology: study of cells Microscopic anatomy Individual cells observable by light microscopy Subcellular structures observable by electron microscopy. TEM SEM Unit of measure: micrometer (um) RBC: 7-8um
13
2. Bilateral Symmetry - left half of the body is a mirror image of the right half. - structures in the median plane are unpaired, but have identical left and right sides.
15
Cells Parts of a cell Cell Membrane (or plasma membrane) Cytoplasm Cytosol Organelles Membranous Organelles Non-membranous Organelles Inclusions Nucleus
16
Plasma (Cell) Membrane the outer, limiting barrier separates the internal contents of the cell from external materials.
17
Cytoplasm general term for all cellular contents located between the plasma membrane and the nucleus.
18
Nucleus “control center” of the cell controls protein synthesis directs the functional and structural characteristics of the cell.
19
Plasma membrane: composition Lipids Phospholipids Head: hydrophilic Tail: hydrophobic Form lipid bilayer Cholesterol Glycolipids Carbohydrate component Part of glycocalyx
21
Plasma membrane: composition Protein Integral membrane proteins Peripheral membrane proteins Some serve as enzymes, ion channels or receptors Glycoproteins
22
Fertilization: Four Major Steps 1. Sperm contacts the egg 2. Sperm or its nucleus enters the egg 3. Egg becomes activated and developmental changes begin 4. Sperm and egg nuclei fuse
23
Words to know… Fuse- to physically join together Ovum – egg cell (female gamete) Cleavage – process of cell division during development Differentiation – the process of forming different kinds of cells from similar cells of the early embryo Embryo – an organism in an early stage of development Morula – solid ball of cells formed from cleavage Blastula – hollow ball of cells formed from cleavage Gastrula – a hollow ball of cells with an “in pushing” and 3 layers (germ layers)
24
Fertilization
25
The Nuclei Fuse Together
26
Development of the zygote, the study of which is known as embryology or developmental biology. The zygote undergoes a series of mitotic cell divisions called cleavage. The stages of development are: Fertilized ovum (zygote) 2-cell stage 4-cell stage 8-cell stage Morula Blastula Early Gastrula Late Gastrula
27
Cleavage (divide via mitosis) forms the 2 cell stage
28
And eventually form a Morula
29
And next, a gastrula
30
The Regents Diagram… Sperm and ovum 1. Zygote (fertilized ovum) 2. 2-cell stage 3. 4-cell stage 4. Morula 5. Blastula 6. Gastrula
31
Differentiation (Organogenesis) Organogenesis is the formation of the organs (Organo = organs, genesis = creation) Arises from the layering of cells that occurs during gastrula stage The layers are germ layers; they have specific fates in the developing embryo: Endoderm The innermost layer Goes on to form the gut Mesoderm In the middle Goes on to form the muscles, circulatory system, blood and many different organs Ectoderm The outermost Goes on to form the skin and nervous system
32
Late Gastrula Mesoderm Endoderm Ectoderm
33
Differentiation of Primary Germ Layers (from the gastrula) EctodermMesoder m Endoderm Nervous system SkeletonDigestive tract Epidermis of skin MusclesRespiratory system Circulatory system Liver, pancreas GonadsBladder
34
Early Human Development Summary Meiosis makes sperm in males and ovum in females Sperm and ovum unite nuclei to form a zygote Zygote undergoes cleavage and becomes gastrula with 3 germ layers
35
11 Organ systems different organs work together to provide specialized functions Body Coverings Support & Movement Integration & coordination Transport Absorption / Excretion Reproduction
