1 INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN BIOLOGY pp. 907-910

2 Physiology vs. Anatomy ANATOMY: study of the structure of the human body PHYSIOLOGY: study of the functions of the human body

3 Levels of Organization
Cell Tissue Organ Organ System Organism

4 TISSUES Group of cells working together

5 TYPES of TISSUES 1. MUSCLE: contract in coordination upon stimulation
Skeletal- voluntary movement cardiac and smooth- involuntary movement

6 TYPES of TISSUES 2. NERVOUS: receive and transmit information and signals (made of cells called neurons) Never grows back once damaged Long extensions allows for fast communication

7 TYPES of TISSUES 3. EPITHELIAL: cover inner and outer surfaces of bodies, cavities, and canals

8 BODY TISSUES 4. CONNECTIVE
cells surrounded by extra-cellular, non- living tissue bone, cartilage, tendons, blood

9 ORGANS tissues working together

10 ORGAN SYSTEMS Two or more organs working together for a specific function

11 ORGAN SYSTEMS Muscular: support and movement
Skeletal: protection and support

12 Circulatory: transport of gases, nutrients, waste, and chemicals to all parts of the body.
Respiratory: gas exchange

13 Immune: fights pathogens
Integumentary (skin): protection

14 Nervous: regulation, conduction, and coordination
Endocrine: controls body function via chemical messengers.

15 Digestive: breakdown and absorption of food
Excretory: removal of liquid, gas, and solid wastes

16 Reproductive: production of sex cells (offspring)

17 BODY CAVITIES Organs housed and protected in cavities

18 BODY CAVITIES Organs housed and protected in cavities Cranial-brain
Spinal-spine Thoracic-heart and respiratory organs (diaphragm separates thoracic and abdominal) Abdominal-digestive system organs Pelvic-reproductive and excretory organs
