1 Human Anatomy & Physiology, Sixth Edition Elaine N. Marieb 1 Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology

2 Overview of Anatomy and Physiology  Anatomy  Structure of body parts and their relationships  Gross  Microscopic  Physiology  Function & interaction of tissues & organs  histological, cellular & molecular level  Chemistry & Physics  ions/molecules, concentrations, stoichiometry, kinetics, thermodynamics  electrical currents, blood pressure, and bone movement

3 Structure – Function Relationship  Function always reflects structure  What a structure can do depends on its specific form

4 Levels of Structural Organization  Atomic –  Molecular –  Cellular –  Histological –  Organ –  Organ system –  Organismal –

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

6 Organ Systems  Integumentary  Muscle  Skeletal  Nervous  Cardiovascular  Lymphatic/Immune  Endocrine  Digestive  Urinary  Reproductive

7 Necessary Life Functions I  Maintaining boundaries –  Cellular level –  Organismal level –  Movement –  Responsiveness –  Digestion –  Metabolism –  Excretion –  Reproduction –  Cellular –  Organismal –  Growth –

8 Survival Needs  Nutrients –  Oxygen –  Water –  Homeostatic maintenance

9 Homeostasis  Maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment  State of dynamic equilibrium  Chemical, hormonal, & neural factors interact to maintain homeostasis  Homeostatic imbalances

10 Homeostatically Controlled Physiological Variables  Osmotic state  Blood pH  Internal temperature  Metabolite levels  Blood pressure

11 Stimulus: Produces change in variable 1 2 3 Change detected by receptor Input: Information sent along afferent pathway to 5 Response of effector feeds back to influence magnitude of stimulus and returns variable to homeostasis Variable (in homeostasis) Imbalance Receptor (sensor) Control center 4 Output: Information sent along efferent pathway to Effector Homeostatic Control Mechanisms Figure 1.4

12 Feedback Regulation  Negative Feedback  The output shuts off the original response to the stimulus  Example: Regulation of blood glucose levels  Positive Feedback  The output further enhances the original response to the stimulus  Example: Clotting

13 Figure 1.5 Homeostatic Control

14 Negative Feedback Figure 1.5 rising glucose detected by pancreas pancreas secretes insulin insulin stimulates cells to take up glucose from blood blood glucose rises pancreas secretes glucagon glucagon stimulates liver to break down glycogen to glucose dropping glucose detected by pancreas

15 Positive Feedback  Output enhances original stimulus  Example: Regulation of blood clotting Figure 1.6

21 Regional Terms: Anterior View  Axial - head, neck, and trunk  Appendicular- limbs  Specific regional terminology Figure 1.7a

22 Body Cavities Figure 1.9a

23 Body Cavities Figure 1.9b

24 Ventral Body Cavity Membranes  Parietal serosa lines internal body walls  Visceral serosa covers the internal organs  Serous fluid separates the serosae

25 Other Body Cavities  Oral and digestive –  Nasal –  Orbital –  Middle ear –  Synovial –
