OVERVIEW OF HUMAN ANAOMY & PHYSIOLOGY Chapter 1
2
OVERVIEW Anatomy is the study of structure Physiology is the study of function Form follows function - function follows form
3
ORGANIZATION Human body is complex Adjusts to environment at atomic level SystemSystem OrganOrgan TissuesTissues CellsCells MoleculesMolecules AtomsAtoms
4
ORGAN SYSTEMS Integumentary Skeletal Muscular Nervous Endocrine Cardiovascular Lymphatic Immune Respiratory Digestive Urinary Reproductive
5
INTEGUMENTARY Protection Thermoregulation Detects external environment Cushions Vitamin D production
6
SKELETAL SYSTEM Protection Cushioning Mineral storage Blood cell formation System of levers
7
MUSCULAR Body movement Movement of blood and lymph Facial expressions Lifting of objects Sitting, standing, squatting
8
Nervous Uses neurotransmitters Responds to changes in environment rapidly Assesses stimuli and determines reaction Maintains homeostasis
9
ENDOCRINE Uses hormones to respond to internal changes Responds to changes slowly Regulates: urine output, reproduction, growth, development,digestion, blood pressure, responses to stress Maintains homeostasis
10
CARDIOVASCULAR Transports: nutrients and cell waste oxygen and carbon dioxide hormones proteins RBCs and WBCs
11
LYMPHATIC & IMMUNE Lymphatic filters and returns extracellular fluid to the blood stream Immune system monitors blood and lymph for: Toxins, Drugs & Chemicals Bacteria, Virus & Parasites Cancer
12
RESPIRATORY Exchange of gases (O 2 and CO 2 ) Maintains acid base balance of blood
13
DIGESTIVE Breaks down and metabolism of ingested food Excretion of solid waste
14
URINARY Maintains: blood volume and pressure acid base balance of blood electrolyte balance Excretion of liquid waste
15
REPRODUCTION Production of secondary sexual characteristics Gamete production and development Development of the fetus
16
MAINTAINING LIFE For Life Maintain boundaries Movement Responsiveness Digestion Metabolism Excretion of waste Reproduction Growth
17
MAINTAINING LIFE SURVIVAL NEEDS Nutrients Oxygen Water Body temperature Atmospheric pressure
18
HOMEOSTASIS Responds to changes in internal environment Internal environment maintained within a narrow range Steady state or dynamic state rather than equilibrium All systems work together 3 components: receptor, command center, effector
19
HOMER-OSTASIS Receptor Command CenterEffector
20
HOMEOSTASIS
21
FEEDBACK MECHANISMS Positive feedback -change in a variable in any direction Negative feedback -slows or stops a change in a variable
22
BODY CAVITIES
23
MEDICAL IMAGING Commuted Tomography (CT) Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Ultrasound Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Doppler Imaging
