October 21, 2015 Journal Question: Why is your body temperature always around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit?
2
Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology
3
What is Anatomy? Literally means to cut apart The study of internal and external structures of plants and animals How living things are put together
4
Two Types of Anatomy Microscopic Anatomy: Study of structures only seen with magnification aids. Macroscopic Anatomy: Study of structures visible to the naked eye Also known as Gross Anatomy Examples?
5
Femur Lungs Stomach Bacteria Red Blood Cell Ear Cardiac Muscle Tissue Would the following items fall under Microscopic or Macroscopic Anatomy?
6
What is Physiology? The study of how body parts function How the body works
7
How does anatomy relate to physiology?
8
If the structure is not right, the function can’t be right either. Abnormal structure and function = disease Example: Sickle Cell Structure (anatomy) determines function (physiology)
9
Homeostasis Physiological mechanisms that work to maintain a constant internal environment Examples?
10
Components of Homeostatic Mechanisms 1.Receptor – detects stimuli and sends signal on an afferent pathway to the control center. 2.Control Center – interprets signal and decides how to act. 3.Effector – information flows from the control center along the efferent pathway to the effector.
11
How do homeostatic mechanisms work? Receptor (Start) Control Center Effector Afferent Pathway Efferent Pathway If the body detects that its normal set- point is either to high or to low it will respond.
12
Example When your body gets to hot, what happens? Send signal to control center in the brain Brain signals a response Sweat is released and blood vessels get bigger
14
Positive Feedback Loops Loop continues in the same direction and increases magnitude of change to the body
15
Negative Feedback Loops Loop moves in the opposite direction of a stimulus
16
Determine if the scenario represents a positive or negative feedback homeostatic system: a.A car starts rolling out of a driveway w/o a driver. A person decides to respond by pushing the car in the direction that makes it leave the driveway faster.A car starts rolling out of a driveway w/o a driver.

The more it is stimulated the more sodium goes rushing in, thus enhancing the stimulus.A neuron is stimulated and sodium goes rushing into the cell.

17
Metabolism In order to maintain homeostasis many chemical reactions have to take place in your body. These chemical reactions are collectively called your metabolism
18
Two Types of Metabolic Pathways: 1. Anabolism – the process by which simpler compounds are built up and used for growth, repair and reproduction. Examples - cellular respiration to ATP 2. Catabolism – the process by which complex substances are broken down into simpler substances. Examples – hydrolysis of fats or glycogen.

Suffixes
53
-algia: Pain
54
-ectomy: Surgical Removal
55
-itis: Inflammation
56
-graphy: the process of recording
57
-ologist: One Who Studies
58
-otomy: Cutting Into
59
-ostomy: Surgically forming an opening
60
-phobia: fear
61
Decoding Medical Terminology When defining medical terms normally the suffix is said first, followed by the combining word. Example: Gastrologist - one who studies the stomach If a medical term has a prefix and a combining word you normally say it in the order it is written. Example: Bradycardia - slow heart rate If there is a prefix, a combining word, and a suffix, you say the suffix first and then the prefix and then the middle word Example: Endoabdominalgia - pain within the abdomen
62
Writing out Medical Terminology When writing out medical terms for most instances the suffix indicates the last part of the term first. Example: Inflammation of the stomach is gastritis When putting together a combing word and a suffix you do not use the letter “O” at the end of the combing word if the suffix begins with a vowel, but you use the letter “O” if the suffix begins with a consonant Example: Gastr/o + -itis = Gastritis Example: Leuk/o + -cyte = Leukocyte
