Introduction to Human Anatomy & Physiology

2

Anatomy and Physiology

• Anatomy – study of structure (Greek – “a cutting up”)

• Physiology – study of function (Greek – “relationship to nature”)

“Structure dictates function.”

Levels of Organization

Subatomic particles

Atom

Molecule

Macromolecule

Organelle

Cell

Organ system

Organism


4

1.3: Levels of OrganizationChemical

• Atoms– made up of

subatomic particles

• Molecules– 2 or more atoms

• Macromolecules– small molecules

joined together

5

1.3: Levels of OrganizationCellular

• Macromolecules combine to form cells

• Basic structural and functional unit of the body

6

1.3: Levels of OrganizationTissue

• Group of cells working together to perform a function

• 4 basic types– epithelial (epi)– connective tissue (CT)– muscle (mm)– nerve (n)

7

1.3: Levels of OrganizationOrgan

• 2 or more tissues joined together with a specific function and shape

8

1.3: Levels of OrganizationSystems

• Related organs with a common function

• 11 systems

9

Organ Systems Integumentary system


• Components– skin– hair – glands

• Functions– protection– regulates body

temperature– eliminates waste– vitamin D– sensations

10

Organ SystemsSkeletal system


• Components– Bones– Joints– Cartilage

• Functions– Support– Protection– Body movement– Produces blood cells– Stores minerals & fats

11

Organ Systems


Muscular system

• Components– skeletal muscles

• Functions– body movement– posture– generates heat

12

Organ SystemsNervous system


• Components– brain– spinal cord– nerves– special sense organs

• Functions– action potentials

(nerve impulses)– detects, interprets, and

responds to changes in environment

13

Organ SystemsEndocrine system


• Components– hormone-producing

glands and cells

• Functions– regulates body

activities

14

Organ SystemsCardiovascular system


• Components– blood – heart– blood vessels

• Functions– pumps blood

– carries O2 and nutrients to cells and wastes away

– regulates temperature, acid-base balance, and H2O

15

Organ Systems


Lymphatic system

• Components– lymph fluid & vessels– spleen– thymus– lymph nodes– tonsils

lipids– protection

1.4: Characteristics of Life (10)

• Movement – change in position; motion

• Responsiveness – reaction to a change

• Growth – increase in body size; no change in shape

• Respiration – obtaining oxygen; removing carbon dioxide; releasing energy from foods

• Reproduction – production of new organisms and new cells

•Differentiation – unspecialized to specialized

22

Characteristics of Life Continued

• Absorption – passage of substances through membranes and into body fluids

• Circulation – movement of substances in body fluids

• Assimilation – changing of absorbed substances into chemically different forms

• Excretion – removal of wastes produced by metabolic reactions

• Digestion – breakdown of food substances into simpler forms

23

1.5: Maintenance of Life

• Life depends on five (5) environmental factors:• Water• Food• Oxygen• Heat• Pressure

24

Requirements of Organisms

• Water- most abundant substance in body- required for metabolic processes- required for transport of substances- regulates body temperature

• Food- provides necessary nutrients- supplies energy- supplies raw materials

25

Requirements of Organisms

• Oxygen (gas)- one-fifth of air- used to release energy from nutrients

• Heat- form of energy - partly controls rate of metabolic reactions

• Pressure - application of force on an object - atmospheric pressure – important for breathing - hydrostatic pressure – keeps blood flowing

26

Homeostasis*

* Maintaining of a stable internal environment

• “physiological normal”• dynamic• involves maintaining

the volume and composition of body fluids– intracellular (ICF)– extracellular (ECF)

Homeostatic Control Mechanisms


27

• components– receptor

• monitors changes• input to control

center

– control center• evaluates input and

generates output

– effector• receives output from

control center• produces a response

28

• continually disrupted by internal and external environments

• balance regulated by– nervous

• action potentials• rapid

– endocrine• hormones• slow

• There are two (2) types:

• Negative feedback mechanisms

• Positive feedback mechanisms


31

Negative feedback summary:

• Prevents sudden, severe changes in the body

• Reduces the actions of the effectors

• Corrects the set point

• Causes opposite of bodily disruption to occur, i.e. the ‘negative’

• Limits chaos in the body by creating stability

• Most common type of feedback loop

• Examples: body temperature, blood pressure & glucose regulation


32

Positive feedback summary:

• Increases (accelerates) the actions of the body

• Produces more instability in the body

• Produces more chaos in the body

• There are only a few types necessary for our survival

• Positive feedback mechanisms are short-lived

• Controls only infrequent events that do not require continuous adjustments

• Considered to be the uncommon loop

• Examples: blood clotting and child birth


33

Animation:Positive and Negative Feedback

Please note that due to differing operating systems, some animations will not appear until the presentation is viewed in Presentation Mode (Slide Show view). You may see blank slides in the “Normal” or “Slide Sorter” views. All animations will appear after viewing in Presentation Mode and playing each animation. Most animations will require the latest version of the Flash Player, which is available at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.

Integumentary system


39

Anatomical Terminology:Orientation and Directional Terms

• Terms of Relative Position (based on anatomical position):

• Superior versus Inferior• Anterior versus Posterior• Medial versus Lateral• Ipsi-lateral versus Contra-lateral• Proximal versus Distal (only in the extremities)• Superficial versus Deep• Internal versus External

40

Body Sections or Planes (3)

• Sagittal or Median – divides body into left and right portions• Mid-sagittal – divides body into equal left and right portions

• Transverse or Horizontal – divides body into superior and inferior portions

• Coronal or Frontal – divides body into anterior and posterior portions
