Anatomy and Physiology ??

Anatomy : the study of structure

Physiology : the study of function

- The labs will mainly deal with Anatomy

- Coordinated by Dr. Corey Johnson

- Self-work with 3D models

- Short quiz on the day of the lab- First lab: second week (August 29th)

- Short assignment on Bb BEFORE the lab

In the lectures….

Two key take home messages

What are we going to study this semster?

Two key take home messages

1) Function follows form

Two key issue during the semester

1) Function follows form

2) The most important term in physiology

How the varied components of living things adjust to maintain a constant internal environment that makes possible optimal functioningWB Cannon

Homeostasis

So we have a balanced state, but it is NOT static!!

Homeostatic Imbalances = Diseases (e.g. diabetes)
