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

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
