1 Chapter one – Organizing the body
Anatomy/Physiology Chapter one – Organizing the body

2 What is Anatomy and Physiology?
Anatomy – the study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another Physiology – the study of the function of the body

3 Levels of Structural Organization
Chemical – atoms combined to form molecules Cells–made of molecules Tissue – consists of similar types of cells Organ – made up of different types of tissues Organ system – consists of different organs that work closely together Organism– made up of the organ systems

4 Levels of Structural Organization
Smooth muscle cell Molecules Cellular level Cells are made up of molecules 2 Atoms 1 Chemical level Atoms combine to form molecules Smooth muscle tissue Heart 3 Tissue level Tissues consist of similar types of cells Cardiovascular system Blood vessels Epithelial tissue Smooth muscle tissue Blood vessel (organ) 6 Organismal level The human organism is made up of many organ systems Connective tissue 4 Organ level Organs are made up of different types of tissues 5 Organ system level Organ systems consist of different organs that work together closely Figure 1.1

5 Organ systems – 11 of them Support, Movement, Protection Maintenance
Cardiovascular Integumentary Lymphatic Skeletal Respiratory Muscular Digestive Body Communication Excretory/Urinary Nervous Reproduction Endocrine Reproductive

6 Homeostasis Homeostasis – to maintain a stable internal environment Ex. body temp, heart rate, blood pressure, blood clotting

7 Anatomical Position Body erect Feet slightly apart Palms facing forward Thumbs point away from body Figure 1.7a

8 Directional Terms Anterior (ventral) – towards the front ex. windpipe is anterior the esophagus. Posterior (dorsal) – towards the back ex. heart is posterior to the ribcage Superior – above, or towards the head ex. the face is superior to the neck Inferior – below, or away from the head ex. the navel is inferior to the chin

9 Directional Terms Medial - towards the midline ex. the nose is medial to the eyes. Lateral - away from the midline of the body. ex. the eyes are lateral to the nose. Proximal - towards the center point. ex. the elbow is proximal to the hand. Distal - away from the center point ex. the hand is distal to the elbow.

10 Directional Terms Superficial- towards the surface ex. the skin is superficial to the muscle Deep - away from the surface of the body. ex. bones are deeper than the muscles

11 Body regions – 2 of them Axial Portion– includes the head, neck and trunk Appendicular Portion– includes the limbs

12 Anatomical Planes – 3 of them
Sagittal - plane running from front to back. - Divides a body into right and left sides Frontal or Coronal- plane running from side to side. - Divides a body into front and back portions. Transverse or Horizontal - a crosswise plane - Divides the body into upper and lower sections

13 Anatomical planes

14 Cavities of the body – 4 of them
Cranial Cavity - space in the skull Thoracic Cavity – space in the chest Abdominal Cavity – space in the belly Pelvic Cavity – space between the hip bones

15 Body cavities

16 Anatomical Movements Flexion:
Decrease the angle between two bones connected by a joint. Extension: An Increase the angle between two bones connected by a joint. Or return from flexion. Continuation of extension beyond the normal anatomical position is called hyperextension.

17 Anatomical Movements Abduction: Moves a bone away from the medial plane of the body. Adduction: Moves a bone towards the medial plane of the body. Rotation: is the pivoting or moving of a bone upon it’s axis. Circumduction: causes a bone to subscribe the surface of a cone in space as it moves.

18 Anatomical Movements Supination: is the movement of the forearm that turns the palm forward or upward. Pronation: is the movement of the forearm that turns the palm backwards or downwards. Inversion: turns sole of the foot inwards Eversion: turns sole of foot outwards. Elevation: raising a bone or body part. Depression: lowering a bone or body part.

19 What are some movements involved in…
A standard push-up A pull up A free throw shot A Hula hoop contest Jumping jacks Walking

20 Review Anatomy vs. Physiology Homeostasis & Organ Systems
Anatomical Position Directional Terms Body Regions Body Planes Body Cavities Anatomical Movements

21 Book questions Page Study Questions #’s 1, 3, 4, 9 Objective Questions #’s 1-5, 13-18, 19-28 .
