Anatomy = ?
Physiology = ?
*Form
*Function
Microscopic Anatomy?
* cytology
*histology
study of body structure not visible to the eye
cytology = cells
histology = tissue
Complementarity (relationship) of structure & function?
STRUCTURE DICTATES FUNCTION
4 macromolecules?
+ list level of structural organization
- lipids 2. nucleic acid 3. protein 4. carbs
Levels: chemical, cellular, tissue, organ system, organism
4 basic types of tissue?
epithelium, connective, muscle nervous
How many organ systems? List them.
12
Digestive, Muscular, Integumentary (skin), Lymphatic, Endocrine, Nervous, Skeletal, Male Reproductive, Female Reproductive, Respiratory, Urinary, Circulatory
Function & Organs of the Integumentary System?
Function: protection & sensation
Organs: skin, hair, nails
Function & Organs of the Skeletal System?
Function: Movement & protection of internal organs
Organs: bones, cartilages, & ligaments
Function & Organs of the Muscular System?
Function: Movement & Stability
Organs: Skeletal Muscles
Function & Organs of Nervous System?
Function: Rapid communication, sensation, information processing
Organs: brain, spinal cord, nerves, ganglia
Function & Organs of the Endocrine System?
Function: Hormone production
Organs: Pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands,
thymus, adrenal glands, pancreas, testes, ovaries
Function & organs of the Circulatory System?
Function: Distribution of chemicals
and immune cells throughout the body. Also controls temperature regulation, pH & water balance
Organs: Heart, arteries, veins
Function & Organs of Lymphatic System?
Function: Defense against pathogens and disease, production of immune
cells
Organs: Lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, thymus, spleen, tonsils
Function & Organs of Respiratory system
Function: Gas exchange – absorption of oxygen, discharge of carbon dioxide.
Organs: Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs
Function & Organs of the Digestive System?
Function: nutrient breakdown and absorption + the disposal of toxins and cleaning of blood.
Organs: Stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, teeth, tongue, salivary glands, esophagus
Function & Organs of Urinary System?
Function: Elimination of waste; regulation of blood volume and content
Organs: Kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra
Function & Organs of Male + Female Reproductive System.
Function:
Male – production and delivery of sperm;
Female – production of eggs; fertilization and fetal development; birth; lactation
Both – sex hormone secretion
Organs:
o Male – testes, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, penis
Female – ovaries, uterus, vagina, mammary gland
Digestion + Metabolism (catabolism & anabolism)
Digestion: the process of breaking down consumed material for absorption
Metabolism: all chemical reactions that occur in body cells
*catabolism - complex structures into simpler substances
*anabolism - using nutrients & oxygen to make ATP
Negative Feedback
shuts off or reduces the original effect of the stimulus
ex: regulating body temperature
Positive Feedback
response enhances or exaggerates the original stimulus accelerating the
response
ex: amplification of labor contractions
Describe Anatomical Position
o Body erect
o Feet slightly apart
o Palms facing forward
