1 Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology
This class is going to be more fun than unicycling mountains in Norway!

2 Intro to Anatomy & Physiology
Anatomy: Structure of Body Parts. Morphology (form & shape), naming, location, relationships. Static (fixed, stationary, not moving) Physiology: Function of body parts. What they do and how they work. Interactions, chemistry, energy exchange, electricity. Dynamic (moving, action, energetic)

3 Principal of complimentarity (structure determines function)
Examples: Bones can support & protect body organs because they contain hard mineral deposits. Blood flows in one direction through the heart because the heart has valves that prevent backflow. Lungs can serve as a site for gas exchange because their air sacs are extremely thin.

4 Levels of Organization (from simplest to most complex)
Atoms --> Molecules --> Macromolecules --> Organelles --> Cells --> Tissues --> Organs --> Organ Systems --> Organism  *A group (mass) of cells working together to carry out certain common functions form a tissue *A group of tissues working together to carry out certain common functions form an organ *A group of organs

5 Subdivisions of Anatomy
1. Microscopic Anatomy = study of structure with a microscope Cytology = study of cells Histology = study of tissues 2. Macroscopic (Gross) Anatomy = study of large, visible structures w/o a microscope VISCERA (internal organs) "Visceral organs” Systemic Anatomy = study of one system at a time Regional Anatomy = study based on regions & relations between structures 3. Developmental Anatomy = study of the structural changes from fertilization to maturity Embryology = study of the development of embryonic stages

6 Human Body Systems Poster
Title of system on the poster List major function or functions List major organs (at least 4 we are familiar with) At least 2 drawings (use at least 4 colors) A creative way (i.e. mnemonic device, rhyme, etc.) to remember the information presented on your page.

7 Maintaining Life Maintain boundaries Movement
Respond to stimuli (irritability) Digest nutrients Metabolism Excretion Reproduction Growth

8 Metabolism Homeostasis
All physical and chemical changes occurring in an organism Survival needs: Water, food, oxygen, heat, pressure - all must be regulated Tendency of the body to maintain a stable, balanced internal environment. Accomplished through self regulating adjustments Homeostasis

10 Homeostasis Sensory Pathway Motor Pathway

11 Homeostasis Negative Feedback Mechanisms body temperature
control of blood glucose levels Positive Feedback Mechanisms blood clotting enhancement of labor contractions

12 Negative Feedback Example:
O2 / CO2 level returns to normal Holding breath, CO2 levels rise Control system forces exhale, inhale

13 Positive feedback increases change
Example: Torn blood vessel stimulates release of clotting factors platelets fibrin white blood cell red blood cell blood vessel clot growth hormones stimulate cell division

14 Homeostasis Lab Data Loggers Setup Procedure Collect data
Analyze & answer questions

15 General Organization of the Body:
Axial Portion - head, neck, trunk Appendicular Portion - arms & legs 1. Several body cavities 2. Layers of membranes within cavities 3. Variety of organs & organ systems within cavities

16 Insane in the membranes!
4 specific membranes Lungs (Pleura) Heart (Pericardium) Lining (Visceral) Visceral Pleura Visceral Pericardium Covering (Parietal) Parietal Pleura Parietal Pericardium body cavity description lining function Open open to the outside of the body Mucosa (mucous) Protection, secretion, & absorption Closed closed off to the outside Serosa (serous) Reduces friction for internal organs
