The Study of Body Function

Human Physiology

Study of how the human body functions.

Pathophysiology: How physiological processes are

altered in disease or injury.

Homeostasis

Maintaining constancy of internal environment.

Dynamic consistency. Maintained by negative

feedback loops.

Feedback Loops Sensor:

Detects deviation from set point.

Integrating center: Determines the response.

Effector: Produces the response.

Negative Feedback Defending the set

point. Reverse the

deviation. Produces change in

opposite direction.

Positive Feedback Action of effectors amplifies

the change. Is in same direction as change. Examples:

Oxytocin (parturition) Voltage gated Na+ channels

(depolarization)

Primary Tissues 4 Different Primary Tissues:

Muscle Nervous Epithelial Connective

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Muscle Tissue Specialized for contraction. 3 Types of Muscle Tissue:

Skeletal Cardiac Smooth

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Skeletal Muscle Voluntary muscle. Striated. Attach to bones at

both ends (tendons).

Arranged in parallel. Grade contraction. Note the location of

the nuclei along the edges of the cells.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Cardiac Muscle Striated. Found only in

the heart. Interconnecte

d. Intercalated

discs.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Smooth Muscle

Not striated. Gap

junctions connect them so they often act as a unit. Not graded.

Peristalsis.

Found in digestive tract, blood vessels, Bronchioles, urinary and reproductivesystems.

Nervous Tissue Neurons (nerve cells):

Specialized for conduction of action potentials.

Supporting cells: Provide anatomical and

functional support.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Neuron Dendrites:

Receive input. Cell body:

Nucleus. Metabolic

center. Axon:

Conducts nerve impulses.

Epithelial Tissue Types of Epithelial Tissue:

Cells that form membranes for coverings and linings:

Squamous Columnar Cuboidal

Exocrine glands (have ducts) Endocrine glands (secrete into blood

stream)

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Exocrine Glands Derived from cells of

epithelial membranes. Secretions are released

through ducts. Simple tubes or modified as

acini (clusters around branched ducts).

Examples: Tear glands Sweat glands Prostate glands

Endocrine Glands Lack ducts. Secrete hormones

into capillaries within the body.

May be discrete organs: Primary functions

are the production and secretion of hormones.

Squamous Cells Flattened in

shape. Adapted for

diffusion and filtration.

Line all blood vessels and the alveoli of the lungs.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Cuboidal Cells Cube-shaped

cells. Excretion,

secretion and absorption.

Line kidney tubules, salivary ducts, and pancreatic ducts.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Columnar Cells Taller column

shaped cells. Excretion,

secretion and absorption.

May contain cilia. Line digestive tract

and respiratory passageways.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.Simple columnar epithelium is found in: ducts of exocrine glands larger tubules or collecting ducts

of the kidney stomach, small intestine, and large

intestine smaller respiratory tubes or

bronchioles fallopian tubes goblet cells (small single-celled

mucus-producing glands scattered among columnar epithelium of stomach and intestine)

Connective Tissue Large amounts of extracellular

material (matrix) in the spaces between connective tissue cells.

Matrix formed by secretions of the cells. Its

composition determines the physical properties of ea. tissue, s.a. hardness, toughness and flexibility.

4 Types of Connective Tissue: Connective tissue proper Cartilage Bone Blood

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.Connective Tissue Proper

Loose connective tissue: Scattered collagen and tissue fluid.

Dermis of skin

Dense fibrous connective tissue: Regularly arranged. Collagen oriented in same direction. Tendons

This tissue is composed mostly of non-stretching or branching collagen fibers and very few spaces, making it very strong. The "wavy" pattern of the fibers is a useful diagnostic pattern for this tissue.

www.dmacc.cc.ia.us/instructors/ dense.htm

Irregularly arranged. Resists forces applied in many directions. Capsules and sheaths

fibrous tendon Note boxcar arrangement of

nuclei.

Cartilage Chondrocytes. Supportive and protective tissue. Elastic properties to tissues. Precursor to many bones. Articular surfaces on joints. View slide

Bone Matrix is collagen embedded in

minerals, esp. Ca and phosphate Osteoblasts:

Bone-forming cells Osteocytes:

Trapped osteoblasts: less active Osteoclasts:

Bone resorbing cells

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Collagen makes bone tough and able to resist fracture.

Minerals make bone hard. Need both. Without protein, bone

brittle; without minerals, bone soft and flexible

Compact Bone (osteons) Central canal

through which blood vessels and nerves pass.

Layers of bone with osteocytes embedded

Canaliculi

Bone Functions (1) Support (skeleton) (2) Movement (3) Protection (4) Mineral reservoir (esp. Ca and

P) (5) Hemopoiesis (blood-cell

formation)

Blood Classified as connective tissue. Half its volume is plasma. The rest is formed elements

(cells and platelets).

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Organs Organs:

Composed of at least two primary tissues.

Serve different functions of the organ.

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

Systems Organs that are located in

different regions of the body and perform related functions.

Examples: Skeletal system Cardiovascular system GI system

Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.Body-Fluid Compartments

65-75% of total body weight H20. Intracellular compartment:

Fluid inside the cell. 2/3 of H20

Extracellular compartment: 1/3 H20 2 Subdivisions:

Blood plasma Interstitial fluid
