1.1: Introduction

• Questions and observations that have led to knowledge.

• Knowledge about structure and function of the human body.

6

1.2: Anatomy & Physiology

• Anatomy – the study of the structure of the human body

• Physiology – the study of the function of the human body

“The complementarity of structure and function.”

7

1.3: Levels of Organization• Subatomic Particles – electrons, protons, and neutrons• Atom – hydrogen atom, lithium atom, etc.• Molecule – water molecule, glucose molecule, etc.• Macromolecule – protein molecule, DNA molecule, etc. • Organelle – mitochondrion, Golgi apparatus, nucleus, etc.

• Cell – muscle cell, nerve cell, etc.• Tissue – epithelia, connective, muscle and nerve• Organ – skin, femur, heart, kidney, etc. • Organ System – skeletal system, digestive system, etc.• Organism – the human

1.1 Clinical Application

• Ultrasound (US)

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

15

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

16

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

17

1.5: Maintenance of Life

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

18

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

19

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

20

Homeostasis** Maintaining of a stable internal environment

• Homeostatic Control Mechanisms – monitors aspects of the internal environment and corrects as needed. Variations are within limits. There are three (3) parts:

• Receptor - provides information about the stimuli

• Control Center - tells what a particular value should be (called the set point)

• Effector - elicits responses that change conditions in the internal environment

Homeostatic Control Mechanisms

Stimulus(Change occursin internalenvironment.) Response

(Change is corrected.)

Receptors Effectors(muscles or glands)

Control center(set point)

(Change is comparedto the set point.)

• There are two (2) types:

• Negative feedback mechanisms

• Positive feedback mechanisms

Homeostatic Control Mechanisms

24

Negative feedback summary:

• Prevents sudden, severe changes in the body

• Corrects the set point

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

• Most common type of feedback loop

• Examples: body temperature, blood pressure & glucose regulation

Homeostatic Control Mechanisms

25

Positive feedback summary:

• Increases (accelerates) the actions of the body

• short-lived

• do not require continuous adjustments

• Examples: blood clotting and child birth

Thoracic Membranes• Visceral pleura• Parietal pleura• Visceral pericardium• Parietal pericardium

• Visceral layer – covers an organ• Parietal layer – lines a cavity or body wall

Abdominopelvic Membranes• Parietal peritoneum• Visceral peritoneum• Parietal perineum• Visceral perineum

Anatomical Terminology:Orientation and Directional Terms

• Terms of Relative Position (based on anatomical position):• Superior versus Inferior (Cranial vs. Caudal)• Anterior versus Posterior (Ventral vs. Dorsal)• Medial versus Lateral• Ipsi-lateral versus Contra-lateral• Proximal versus Distal• Superficial versus Deep• Internal versus External

32

Body Sections or Planes

• 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
