1 The Human Body Define Anatomy and Physiology
Explain how anatomy and Physiology are related Pg. 1-21

2 Anatomy vs. Physiology Anatomy  the study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts and relationship to one another Physiology  the study of how the body and its parts work or function. Anatomy and Physiology are related because knowing the structure and shape of the body and its parts allows you to understand how the body functions

3 Levels of Structural Organization
Gross Anatomy Large Structures Easily observable Microscopic Anatomy Very small structures Can only be viewed with a microscope

4

5 Integumentary System The external covering of the body, the skin
Waterproofs body Cushions and protects the deeper tissue from injury Temperature, pressure, and pain receptors located here to alert us of bodies surface

6 Skeletal System Consists of bone, cartilages, ligaments, and joints
Supports and protects the bodies organs Provides framework that the skeletal muscle uses to cause movement Stores minerals Site of blood cell formation

7 Muscular System One function  Contract or shorten – movement
Maintains bodies posture Produces heat Formed by skeletal muscle Three Types of Muscle Smooth Skeletal Cardiac

8 Nervous System Fast acting control system
Sends and receives messages Responds to irritants or stimuli internal or external Activates muscles and glands

9 Endocrine System Controls the bodies activities but more slowly then nervous system Secretes regulatory hormones Growth Reproduction Metabolism

10 Cardiovascular System
Use blood as the transporting fluid pumped by the heart Oxygen Carbon dioxide Nutrients Waste

11 Lymphatic System Compliments the cardiovascular system Stores WBC
Involved in immunity Disposes of debris, bacteria, tumor cells

12 Respiratory System Keeps blood supplied with oxygen
Removes carbon dioxide

13 Digestive System A tube from the mouth to the anus
Break down food and deliver nutrients to the blood Eliminates indigestible material

14 Urinary System Removes the nitrogen containing waste from the blood
Flushes waste out with urine Balance and regulate acid-base balance of blood Regulation of materials like water and electrolytes

15 Reproductive System

16 Necessary Life Functions
1. Maintain Boundaries 2. Movement *Locomotion *Movement of substances 3. Responsiveness *Ability to sense changes and react 4. Digestion *Break-down *Delivery of nutrients

17 Necessary Life Functions
5. Metabolism *Production of energy *Making body structures 6. Excretion *Eliminate of waste from metabolic reaction 7. Reproduction *Production of future generation 8. Growth Increasing of cell size and number

18 Survival Needs Nutrients Oxygen Water Temperature Pressure
Chemicals for energy and cell building Includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins and minerals Oxygen Required for chemical reactions Water 60-80% of body weight Provides for metabolic reaction Temperature Stable body temperature Pressure Atmospheric pressure must be appropriate Survival Needs

19 Homeostasis Maintenance of a stable internal environment
A dynamic state of equilibrium Homeostasis must be maintained for a normal body functioning and to sustain life

20 Communication through neural and hormonal control system
Receptor Responds to changes in the environment Sends information to control center Control Center Determines set points & analyzes information Determines appropriate response Effector Provides a means for response to the stimulus

21 Homeostatic Control System

22 Homeostatic Controls Negative Feedback Most of homeostatic controls
Positive Feedback Mechanisms are rare in the body Increase the original disturbance (stimulus) and push variables further from original value Ex: Blood Clotting at the birth of the baby Negative Feedback Most of homeostatic controls Shut off original stimulus to reduce its intensity Ex: a home heating system connected to thermostat

23 Language of Anatomy Position Direction Regions Structures
Special Terminology is used to prevent misunderstanding Exact terms are used for 

24 Orientation & Directional Terms
Superior Inferior The forehead is SUPERIOR to the nose The navel is INFERIOR to the breastbone

25 Orientation & Directional Terms
Posterior Anterior The heart is POSTERIOR to the breastbone The breastbone is ANTERIOR to the spine

26 Orientation & Directional Terms
Medial Lateral The heart is medial to the arm The arms are lateral to the chest

27 Orientation & Directional Terms
Superficial Intermediate The skin is SUPERFICIAL to the skeleton The collarbone is INTERMEDIATE between the breastbone and shoulder

28 Orientation & Directional Terms
Proximal Distal The elbow is PROXIMAL to the wrist The knee is DISTAL to the thigh

29 Body Planes

30 Body Cavities ***Ventricle Cavity Dorsal Cavity

31 Abdominopelvic Regions Abdominopelvic Quadrants Abdominopelvic Major Organs

32 Body Landmarks

33 Body Landmarks
