INTRODUCTION TO : ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
3
ANATOMY: Ana = UP - TOME = CUTTING Study of the structure of the body Gross Microscopic Cytology Histology
4
Physiology. Study of how body functions Cellular physiology Pathophysiology
5
Form always dictates function
6
Specialty Areas Surface anatomy Cytology Embryology Immunology Pharmacology
7
Levels Of Organization: 6 Levels J Chemical level J Cell J Tissues / membranes J Organs
8
J Systems J Total organism Y o u !!!! From simple to complex
11
Characteristics Of Life: J Metabolism J Irritability J Contractility J Growth J Reproduction
12
Homeostasis “HOMEO-” = same “-Stasis” = staying Dynamic equilibrium needed to sustain life Inner balance
13
Feedback System: Stressor : anything that disrupts “ H ” Body works to correct imbalance
14
Negative Feedback Once problem is corrected…. Body works to return things to normal
15
Body Systems Controlling “ H ” Nervous Endocrine
16
Anatomical Terms Anatomical position Body directions Superior Inferior
17
Anterior / ventral Posterior / dorsal Medial Lateral Proximal Distal
18
Superficial Deep Visceral Parietal Central Peripheral
19
Cranial Caudal Internal External
20
Directional Terms Flexion Extension Rotation Abduction Adduction
21
Supination Pronation Inversion Eversion
22
Body Planes è Imaginary lines thru the body è SAGITTAL : divides body into right & left portions MIDSAGITTAL
23
è Transverse : divides body : top & bottom è Frontal : divides into front & back
24
BODY CAVITIES : HOLLOW SPACES THAT CONTAIN ORGANS 2 MAIN CAVITIES : DORSAL & VENTRAL
27
Dorsal: Cranial cavity: Contains brain Spinal cavity: Contains spinal cord Ventral: Thoracic : contains heart, lungs, trachea
28
Superior to abdominal cavity Abdominal cavity Contains stomach, liver, intestines Pelvic cavity : Contains bladder, reproductive organs
29
Abdominal Regions Used to describe location of organs or pain 4 quadrants : RUQ / RLQ LUQ / LLQ
31
9 Regions : 3 central regions : Epigastric Umbilical Hypogastric
32
Right Hypo-chondriac Left Hypo-chondriac Right lumbar Left lumbar Right iliac or inguinal Left iliac or inguinal
34
Body Regions Axial : Head, neck & trunk Appendicular: Extremities Torso : thorax, abdomen, pelvis
35
Antecubital Axillary Cephalic Cervical Costal Cranial Inguinal
36
Anatomical Terminology Prefixes: Ab- Ad- Alg- Arth- Bio- Brachi-
37
Cardi- Chole- Contra- Cyst- Cyto-
38
Suffixes: -Algia -Asis -Asthenia -Blast -Cele -Cid
39
