1 History of Anatomy and Physiology How Time and Technology Played a Role

2 Primitive Man  Nomadic Followed food  Hunter-gatherers  Concerned with survival! To eat and not be eaten!

3 Agricultural Revolution  Realized had some control over life Start to manipulate environment  Less nomadic Plant food More civilized  More time = more thought = more technology

4 Industrial Revolution  Machines did work, urbanization More sedentary Altered diets  More meat  Transported food Emergence of new diseases  Diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity  More time = more thought = even more technology!

5 Biomedical Revolution  “Germ Theory of Disease” Microbes cause disease!  Better medicine - antibiotics  Better sanitation  Sterile surgery  Medical technology

6 Information Age  “Smaller world”  More information into more hands quicker  Surge of technology  Obesity much more prevalent  Longer life spans  Huge increase in time = huge increase in thought = huge increase in technology

7 What is A&P? Anatomy  “a cutting up”  Study of body structures  Form and organization  Examination Physiology  “relationship to nature”  Study of body function  What they do, how they do it  Experimentation Structure makes function possible! How a part is constructed determines how it works!
