3 Anatomy and Physiology
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy structure (morphology) of the body and its parts; in other words, what are things called? Physiology functions of these parts “how do they work?” interrelated because the functional role of a part depends on how it is constructed.

4 Levels of Organization:

5 human body: parts studied at a variety of levels of organization.

Atoms are the simplest level. 2. Two or more atoms comprise a molecule. 3. Macromolecules are large, biologically important molecules inside cells. 4. Organelles are aggregates of macromolecules used to carry out a specific function in the cell.

6 6. Tissues are groups of cells functioning together.

Groups of tissues form organs. 8. Groups of organs function together as organ systems. 9. Organ systems functioning together make up an organism.

7 Organization of the Human Body
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Organization of the Human Body The body divided into: appendicular portion (upper and lower limbs) axial portion (head, neck, and trunk), Major features of the human body include: Cavities Membranes organ systems.

8 Body Cavities: dorsal and a ventral cavity

Permission required for reproduction or display. a. dorsal cavity can be divided into two areas: Cranial cavity Vertebral canal b. ventral cavity is made up of: Thoracic cavity Abdominopelvic cavity: can be divided into the abdominal cavity and the pelvic cavity. A broad, thin muscle called the diaphragm separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities. c. Smaller cavities within the head include the oral cavity, nasal cavity, orbital cavities, and middle ear cavities.

11 Thoracic and Abdominopelvic Membranes:
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Thoracic and Abdominopelvic Membranes: 1. thoracic cavity is lined with pleural membranes; parietal pleura: lines the cavities visceral pleura: covers the lungs A thin layer of serous fluid separates the two layers. 2. heart is surrounded by pericardial membranes. parietal pericardium: outer sac visceral pericardium: covers the heart Serous fluid separates the two layers. 3. abdominopelvic cavity is lined with peritoneal membranes parietal peritoneum: lines the wall visceral peritoneum covers the organs.

12 Thoracic and Abdominopelvic Membranes

13 Organ Systems, based on the function:

14 Support and Movement a. skeletal S: bones and ligaments.
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Support and Movement a. skeletal S: bones and ligaments. supports, protects, provides frameworks, stores inorganic salts, and houses blood-forming tissues. b. muscular S: muscles provide body movement, posture, and body heat.

15 Integration and Coordination
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Integration and Coordination a. nervous S: brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sense organs. integrates incoming information from receptors and sends impulses to muscles and glands. b. endocrine S: glands that secrete hormones helps to integrate metabolic functions.

16 Transport a. cardiovascular s: heart and blood vessels,
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Transport a. cardiovascular s: heart and blood vessels, Distributes oxygen and nutrients throughout the body while removing wastes from the cells. b. lymphatic s: lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen, drains excess tissue fluid and includes cells of immunity.

17 Absorption and Excretion
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Absorption and Excretion a. digestive s: mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and accessory organs. receives, breaks down, and absorbs nutrients. b. respiratory s: lungs and passageways. exchanges gases between the blood and air c. urinary s: kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, removes wastes from the blood and helps to maintain water and electrolyte balance.

18 Reproduction a. reproductive s: produces new organisms.
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Reproduction a. reproductive s: produces new organisms. i. male: testes, accessory organs, and vessels conduct sperm to the penis. ii. Female: ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, and external genitalia. houses the developing offspring.

19 Anatomical Terminology
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Relative Positions: describe location of one body part with respect to another. superior, inferior, anterior, posterior, medial, lateral, proximal, distal, superficial (peripheral), deep.

20 1. sagittal: divides body into R-L
CopyrightThe McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Body Sections: 1. sagittal: divides body into R-L 2. transverse: divides body into superior-inferior (cross section) 3. coronal: divides body into anterior-posterior

21 Body Regions 1. abdominal area: divided into 9 regions.
