1 Anatomy Ch 1- An introduction
Organization and Directional terms

2 What do humans have in common with ALL living things?
Responsiveness- to stimuli – the environment either external or internal Growth- in size, number or repair Reproduction- create new organism Movement-either internal or external Metabolism

3 What is Anatomy

4 What is Physiology Muscle Physiology Respiration Physiology

5 Anatomy has perspectives
Microscopic Cytology Histology Macroscopic- or Gross Anatomy

6 Levels of Organization

7 The Hierarchy of Structural Organization

8 Organ Systems Integumentary System
Function: Protection from environmental hazards, temperature control Organs Epidermis Dermis Hair follicles Sebaceous glands Nails Sensory receptors

9 Organ Systems Skeletal System
Function: Support, protection of soft tissues, mineral storage, blood formation Organs Bones Cartilage Ligaments Bone Marrow

10 Organ System Muscular System
Function – Locomotion, support, heat production Organs- Skeletal muscles Smooth muscles Cardiac muscles

11 Organ Systems The Nervous System
Function – Directing immediate responses to stimuli, usually by coordinating the activities of other organ systems Organs Central Nervous system Brain Spinal cord Peripheral Nervous system

12 Organ Systems The Endocrine System
Function –Directing long-term changes in the activities of other organ systems Organs Pituitary Thyroid Parathyroid Thymus Adrenal Kidneys Pancreas Gonads Testes ovaries

13 Organ System Cardiovascular System
Function –Internal transport of cells and dissolved materials, including nutrients, wastes and gases Organs Heart Blood vessels Arteries Capillaries Veins Blood

14 Organ Systems Lymphatic system
Function – Defense against infection and disease Organs Lymphatic vessels Lymph nodes Spleen thymus

15 Organ System The Respiratory System
Function-Delivery of air to sites where gas exchange can occur between the air and circulating blood Organs – Nasal cavities Pharynx Larynx Trachea Bronchi Lungs Alveoli

16 Organ System Digestive System
Function- Processing of food and absorption of nutrients, minerals, vitamins and water Organs Salivary glands Pharynx Esophagus Stomach Small intestine Liver Gallbladder Pancreas Large intestine

17 Organ System The Urinary System
Function-Elimination of excess water, salts, and waste products Organs Kidneys Ureters Urinary Bladder Urethra

18 Organ System Female and Male Reproductive Systems
Function – Production of sex cells and hormones Female Organs Ovaries Uterine Tubes Uterus Vagina External Genitalia Mammary glands

19 Male organs Testes Accessory organs Epididymis Ductus Deerens Seminal vesicles External Genitalia Penis Scrotum

20 Homeostasis Definition – the process of maintaining internal balance of a system Processes of homeostasis Negative feedback Positive feedback

21 Homeostasis, con’t Necessary organs Receptors Effectors Control center

22 What is Disease? When homeostasis FAILS As a function of pathogens
Virus Bacteria Parasite Fungus As a function of accident Bubonic Plague

23 Anatomical Positions Supine Prone

24 Anatomical Regions Quadrants

25 Body Cavities and Membranes
Dorsal body cavity Cranial cavity Vertebral cavity

26 Body Cavities and Membranes
Ventral body cavity Thoracic cavity – divided into three parts Two lateral parts each containing a lung surrounded by a pleural cavity Mediastinum – contains the heart surrounded by the pericardial sac

27 Body Cavities and Membranes
Ventral body cavity Abdominopelvic cavity – divided into two parts Abdominal cavity –contains the liver, stomach, kidneys, and other organs Pelvic cavity – contains the bladder, some reproductive organs, and rectum

28 Other Body Cavities

29 Orientation and Directional Terms

30 Orientation and Directional Terms

31 Orientation and Directional Terms

32 Regional Terms and Activities

33 Body Planes and Sections
Transverse plane Runs horizontally and divides body into superior and inferior parts Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 1.5
