The Human Body: An Orientation Chapter 1 Part 1
2
Three essential concepts that unify Anatomy and Physiology:
3
What is Anatomy? Structure of body parts Relationship of body parts Concrete subject
4
What is Physiology? Function of the machinery Processes of the body Relationship of biology and chemistry
6
Topics of Anatomy Levels 0f Study Macroscopic Anatomy – AKA “gross anatomy” – Study of large body parts visible to the naked eye – Dissection of animals – Subdivisions include: Regional anatomy Systemic anatomy Surface anatomy
7
Topics of Anatomy Levels 0f Study Microscopic Anatomy –Study of structures too small to be seen with the naked eye –Subdivisions include: Cytology – cells Histology – tissues
8
Topics in Anatomy (con’t) Developmental Anatomy – Traces structural changes that occur in the body throughout the life span – Subdivisions include: Embryology - developmental changes before birth Pathological Anatomy – structural changes associated with disease. Radiographic Anatomy – body structures which can be visualized with x-rays Molecular Biology Anatomical Terminology
9
Some Topics of Physiology Renal physiology – kidney function and urine production Neurophysiology – workings of the nervous system Cardiovascular physiology – operation of heart and blood Immunology – how the body defends itself from disease causing agents Endocrinology, pathophysiology, exercise physiology
11
Complementarity of Structures and Functions Chemical Level Cellular Level Tissue Level Organ Level Organ System Level Organism Level
12
Molecular Level urea catalase atoms Cellular Level basophil epithelium Atoms combine to form moleculesCells are made up of molecules
13
Tissue LevelOrgan Level tongue kidney tongue taste buds kidney tubules Tissues consist of similar types of cellsOrgans are made up of similar types of tissues
14
A(n) _____ is a group of cells with a similar structure and function a)organ b)molecule c)organ system d)tissue
