8. Homeostasis Organ systems work together to maintain a constant internal environment (homeostasis). Cell metabolism –Aerobic metabolism –Anaerobic metabolism 6-8

9. Homeostasis Body fluids –Two main compartments –Intracellular fluid (ICF) Fluid within the walls of body cells Accounts for about two-thirds of body water –Extracellular fluid (ECF) Fluid within the blood vessels Fluid within the tissues 6-9

10. 6-10 Body Cavities

11. 6-11 Abdominal Quadrants

13. 6-13 Musculoskeletal System

14. 6-14 Musculoskeletal System Gives the body its shape Allows the body to move Protects major organs of the body

15. 6-15 Skeletal System Consists of 206 bones of varying types Bones –Store minerals –Many bones contain bone marrow. Bone marrow produces blood cells.

16. 6-16 Skeletal System

17. 6-17 Skeletal System

18. 6-18 Bones are classified by shape and size.

19. 6-19 Bones of the Skull

20. 6-20 Vertebral (Spinal) Column

21. 6-21 Vertebral Discs

22. 6-22 Spinal Cord and Spinal Nerves

23. 6-23 The Chest (Thorax)

24. 6-24 Upper Extremity

25. 6-25 Lower Extremity

26. 6-26 The Muscular System Gives the body shape Protects internal organs Provides for movement of the body Maintains posture Helps stabilize joints Produces body heat

27. 6-27 The Muscular System Muscles are classified according to their structure and function. –Skeletal (voluntary) muscle –Smooth (involuntary) muscle –Cardiac muscle

28. 6-28 Skeletal muscles and bones work together as levers.

29. 6-29 Smooth Muscle Involuntary Strong, slow contractions Found in –Walls of GI tract and urinary system –Blood vessels –Eye –Bronchi

30. 6-30 Cardiac Muscle Found only in the heart Produces heart’s contraction and pumps blood Has its own blood supply through the coronary arteries Normal contractions are strong and rhythmic. Involuntary

31. 6-31 Comparison of Muscle Types SkeletalSmoothCardiac LocationAttached to bone by tendons Walls of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, bronchi, uterus, blood vessels, glands Walls of the heart FunctionMoves the skeleton Produces heat that helps maintain a constant body temperature Maintains posture Moves food through the digestive tract Adjusts the size of blood vessels to control blood flow Contracts and relaxes the heart Moves blood through the body Type of ControlVoluntaryInvoluntary

32. 6-32 Respiratory System

33. 6-33 Respiratory System

34. 6-34 Respiratory System

35. 6-35 Swallowing

36. 6-36 Respiratory System

37. 6-37 Respiratory System

38. 6-38 Respiratory System

39. 6-39 Ventilation Breathing (pulmonary ventilation) –Process of moving air into and out of the lungs Inspiration (inhalation) –Process of breathing in and moving air into the lungs Expiration (exhalation) –Process of breathing out and moving air out of the lungs

40. Respiratory System Respiration Tidal volume Anatomic dead space Minute volume 6-40

41. Mechanics of Breathing Chemoreceptors –Central Medulla oblongata in the brain Monitor carbon dioxide level –Peripheral Carotid arteries Arch of the aorta Monitor oxygen and carbon dioxide levels 6-41

42. 6-42 Mechanics of Breathing

43. Structures that Support Ventilation Chest wall Pleurae Diaphragm Intercostal muscles Phrenic nerves Pulmonary capillaries 6-43

44. 6-44 Respiration –Exchange of gases between a living organism and its environment Internal respiration External respiration

45. Respiration Alveolar/capillary gas exchange Cell/capillary gas exchange 6-45

46. 6-46 Circulatory System

47. 6-47 Circulatory System Cardiovascular system –Pump (heart) –Fluid (blood) –Container (blood vessels) Lymphatic system –Lymph –Lymph nodes –Lymph vessels –Tonsils –Spleen –Thymus gland

48. 6-48 Circulatory System Functions –Delivers oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to body tissues –Helps maintain body temperature –Protects the body against infection –Controls bleeding –Removes waste and by-products of metabolism from body tissues –Transports hormones and other chemical messengers to targeted tissues of the body

49. 6-49 The Heart

50. 6-50 Blood Flow through the Heart

51. 6-51 Blood Flow through the Heart

52. Blood Transport system Works with lymphatic system to protect the body against infection 6-52

53. 6-53 Blood Components

54. 6-54 Blood Vessels Arteries → arterioles → capillaries → venules → veins

55. 6-55 Veins Contain One-Way Valves

56. 6-56 Major Arteries

57. 6-57 Major Veins

58. 6-58 Physiology of Circulation Pulse –Central –Peripheral Blood pressure –Systolic –Diastolic

60. 6-60 Nervous System

61. 6-61 The brain is housed in the cranium.

62. 6-62 Areas of the Brain

63. 6-63 Spinal Cord Relays electrical signals to and from the brain and peripheral nerves

64. 6-64 Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

65. Autonomic Nervous System Sympathetic division –Mobilizes energy, particularly in stressful situations –“Fight-or- flight” response –Effects are widespread throughout the body Parasympathetic division –Conserves and restores energy –Effects are localized in the body 6-65
