1. RICK R. LEETCH 1 The Human Body: An Orientation

2. The Human Body – An Orientation AA natomy – study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts PP hysiology – study of how the body and its parts work or function

3. Anatomy – Levels of Study  Gross Anatomy  Large structures  Easily observable

4. Figure 14.4 Anatomy – Levels of Study  Microscopic Anatomy  Very small structures  Can only be viewed with a microscope

5. Figure 1.1 Levels of Structural Organization

6. Figure 1.2a Organ System Overview  Integumentary  Forms the external body covering  Protects deeper tissue from injury  Synthesizes vitamin D  Location of nerve receptors

7. Figure 1.2b Organ System Overview  Skeletal  Protects and supports body organs  Provides muscle attachment for movement  Site of blood cell formation  Stores mineral

8. Figure 1.2c Organ System Overview  Muscular  Allows locomotion  Maintains posture  Produces heat

9. Figure 1.2d Organ System Overview  Nervous  Fast-acting control system  Responds to internal and external change  Activates muscles and glands

10. Figure 1.2e Organ System Overview  Endocrine  Secretes regulatory hormones  Growth  Reproduction  Metabolism

11. Figure 1.2f Organ System Overview Organ System Overview  Cardiovascular  Transports materials in body via blood pumped by heart  Oxygen  Carbon dioxide  Nutrients  Wastes

12. Organ System Overview Organ System Overview  Lymphatic  Returns fluids to blood vessels  Disposes of debris  Involved in immunity Figure 1.2g

13. Organ System Overview  Respiratory  Keeps blood supplied with oxygen  Removes carbon dioxide Figure 1.2h

14. Organ System Overview  Digestive  Breaks down food  Allows for nutrient absorption into blood  Eliminates indigestible material Figure 1.2i

15. Organ System Overview  Urinary  Eliminates nitrogenous wastes  Maintains acid – base balance  Regulates water and electrolytes Figure 1.2j

16. Organ System Overview  Reproductive  Production of offspring Figure 1.2k

17. Necessary Life Functions Necessary Life Functions  Maintain Boundaries  Movement  Locomotion  Movement of substances  Responsiveness  Ability to sense changes and react  Digestion  Break-down and delivery of nutrients

18. Necessary Life Functions  Metabolism – chemical reactions within the body  Production of energy  Making body structures  Excretion  Elimination of waste from metabolic reactions

19. Necessary Life Functions  Reproduction  Production of future generation  Growth  Increasing of cell size and number

20. Survival Needs  Nutrients  Chemicals for energy and cell building  Oxygen  Required for chemical reactions

21. Survival Needs  Water  60–80% of body weight  Stable body temperature

22. Homeostasis Homeostasis  Maintenance of a stable internal environment = a dynamic state of equilibrium  Homeostasis must be maintained for normal body functioning and to sustain life  Homeostatic imbalance – a disturbance in homeostasis resulting in disease

23. RICK R. LEETCH 1 Overview of Homeostasis Figure 1.4

24. Maintaining Homeostasis Maintaining Homeostasis  The body communicates through neural and hormonal control systems  Receptor  Responds to changes in the environment (stimuli)  Sends information to control center

25. Maintaining Homeostasis Maintaining Homeostasis  Control center  Determines set point  Analyzes information  Determines appropriate response  Effector  Provides a means for response to the stimulus

26. Feedback Mechanisms Feedback Mechanisms  Negative feedback  Includes most homeostatic control mechanisms  Shuts off the original stimulus, or reduces its intensity  Works like a household thermostat

27. Feedback Mechanisms Feedback Mechanisms  Positive feedback  Increases the original stimulus to push the variable farther

29.  The Human Body: An Orientation

30. The Language of Anatomy  Special terminology is used to prevent misunderstanding  Exact terms are used for:  Position  Direction  Regions  Structures
