Definitions  Anatomy is the study of structure or morphology  Physiology is the study of function.  Pathophysiology 2. Structure and function go together (Figure 1-1)  Name a body part/note function; note the relationship between structure and function. 3. Anatomists of old were “grave robbers” explain this statement. Slide 2

The Body’s Levels of Organization From Simple to Complex  The body is arranged from simple ( cells) to complex ( organisms). See Fig 1-2 There are 4 structural levels of the human body ( cells, tissues, organs (viscera) and systems) There are 4 structural levels of the human body ( cells, tissues, organs (viscera) and systems)  Structure and function are related.

The Body’s Levels of Organization - cont’d Major Organ Systems  An organ system is a group of organs that help each other to perform a particular function ( see Fig.1-3). There are 11 major organ systems. Slide 4

Anatomical Terms: Talking About the Body  Anatomical Position  The anatomical position is the body standing erect, arms by the side, with palms facing forward ( Fig. 1-4).  Relative Positions-paired terms that describe direction include superior and inferior, anterior and posterior, medial and lateral, proximal and distal, superficial and deep, and central and peripheral. Slide 6 Anatomical position

In which body positions are these diagrams? Slide 7 Hint: You are lying on your spine in this position. The answer rhymes with spine Note words are not in text but this is testable information!

8. Elsevier items and derived items © 2007, 2003, 2000 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Are you able to do this? Directional Terms 1. anterior (ventral)--the front side of the body 2. posterior (dorsal)--the back side of the body 3. superior (cranial)--toward the head 4. inferior (caudal)--away from the head 5. medial--toward the midline of the body 6. lateral--away from the midline of the body 7. proximal--closer to the point of attachment 8. distal--farther from the point of attachment 9. superficial (external)--located close to or on the body surface 10. deep (internal)--located beneath the body surface Draw arrows showing the direction of each of the terms from the notes on the left. Slide 8

9. Elsevier items and derived items © 2007, 2003, 2000 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. Can you identify the Body Planes? Slide 9 The three planes are the sagittal plane, frontal (coronal) plane, and transverse plane ( see Fig. 1-5). 1. Sagittal--longitudinal section that divides the body into right and left portions a. a.median or midsagittal--directly down the middle of the body b. b. parasagittal*--divides anywhere except for right down the middle; divides the body into unequal parts ( not in text). 2. Frontal (coronal)--divides the body into anterior and posterior portions 3. T 3. T ransverse--divides the body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom) portions
