1 Chapter 1: An introduction to Anatomy and Physiology

2 Living Characteristics Responsiveness Irritability—respond to changes in environment Ex: Dog barks Adaptability—long-term changes Ex: Dog grows thick fur for winter

3 Living Characteristics cont… Growth Reproduction Movement (Internal or External) Metabolism—all chemical reactions in the body

4 The Science of Anatomy Anatomy—”a cutting open” Study of internal and external structures Physiology—Study of how an organism performs their functions

5 Anatomy Gross Anatomy—macroscopic Features visible with naked eye Microscopic Anatomy Structures that cannot be seen without a microscope Cytology—study of cells Histology—study of tissues Groups of cells with specific functions

6 Physiology Cell physiology—study of the function of cells Special physiology—study of the function of organs Systemic physiology—study of organ systems Pathology—study of diseases on organs

7 Levels of Organization Chemical (Molecular) Level Atoms—smallest units of matter Molecules—2 or more atoms Cells—smallest living units Tissues Organs Organ Systems Organism
