2
The Language of Anatomy and Physiology
Chapter 1: Foundations of Human Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 1.1 The Language of Anatomy and Physiology
3
The Language of Anatomy and Physiology
Introducing anatomy and physiology Describing the human body
4
Introducing Anatomy and Physiology
Human Anatomy Identify the parts of the human body Gross human anatomy Microscopic human anatomy Human Physiology How the parts of the human body function
5
Common Directional Terms
6
Describing the Human Body
Anatomical Position Planes Sagittal Right & Left Frontal Anterior & Posterior Transverse Superior & Inferior
7
Body Planes Sectional Views Sagittal Frontal Transverse
8
Body Cavities Posterior Cavities Anterior Cavities Cranial Spinal
Thoracic Abdominopelvic Abdominal Pelvic
9
Basic Physiological Processes
Chapter 1: Foundations of Human Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 1.2 Basic Physiological Processes
10
Basic Physiological Processes
Structural and functional organization of the body Homeostasis Metabolism
11
Structural Organization of the Body
Atoms Ex: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc. Molecules Ex: Water, Glucose, Proteins, etc. Cells Ex: Myocytes, Osteocytes, Neurons, etc. Tissues Ex: Epithelial, Skeletal, Cardiac, etc. Organs Heart, Lungs, Bones, Brain, etc. Organ Systems Respiratory, Circulatory, Nervous, Endocrine, etc.
12
Human Organ Systems
13
Homeostasis Control mechanisms maintain a steady internal environment
Receptor Receive sensory input Control center Spinal cord & brain Make decision Effector Response to stimuli Rido/Shutterstock.com
14
Homeostasis Negative Feedback Positive Feedback
Conditions exceeding a set limit in one direction trigger a negative reaction in the opposite direction Ex: Body temperature; Blood pressure; Blood sugar Positive Feedback Conditions cause a reaction to accelerate Ex: Childbirth; Blood clotting
15
Metabolism Anabolism Catabolism
Big molecules made from smaller molecules Catabolism Big molecule broken into smaller molecules
16
How Forces Affect the Body
Chapter 1: Foundations of Human Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 1.3 How Forces Affect the Body
17
How Forces Affect the Body
Basic kinetic concepts Forces and injury to the human body
18
Basic Kinetic Concepts
Force Push or pull Mass & Weight Mass = amount of matter Weight = the pull of gravity Pressure Force spread over an area
19
Forces and Injury to the Human Body
Tension Pulling force Compression Squeezing force Shear Tearing apart force Torque Twisting force
20
The Effects of Force Application
Acceleration Increase in the rate or speed of an object Deformation Elastic Plastic
21
Understanding Science
Chapter 1: Foundations of Human Anatomy and Physiology Lesson 1.4 Understanding Science
22
Understanding Science
Scientific method Developing scientific theories Impact of scientific research
23
Science Creates new knowledge Testable explanations
Testable predictions
24
The Scientific Method Question Hypotheses Experimentation
Collecting the Data Analyze Data Interpret Results Conclusion Repeat
25
Developing Scientific Theories
Tested through the scientific method Accurate explanation of some aspect of the natural world
26
Early Greek and Roman Anatomists
Aristotle Wrote On the Parts of Animals Galen Compiled numerous anatomical reports First to assert that the brain controls muscles
27
Anatomists in the Renaissance
Leonardo da Vinci The Vitruvian Man Andreas Vesalius De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Structure of the Human Body) William Harvey One of the first accurate descriptions of human physiology Reed/Shutterstock.com
