The Human Organism

1-3

Overview of Anatomy and Physiology

• Anatomy: scientific discipline that investigates the body’s structure

• Physiology: scientific investigation of the processes or functions of living things

1-4

Topics of Anatomy

• Gross or macroscopic: structures examined without a microscope– Regional: studied area by area– Systemic: studied system by system– Surface: external form and relation to deeper

structures as x-ray in anatomic imaging

• Microscopic: structures seen with the microscope– Cytology: cellular anatomy– Histology: study of tissues

1-5

Topics of Physiology

• Reveals dynamic nature of living things

• Considers operations of specific organ systems– Cell physiology: examines processes in cells– Neurophysiology: focuses on the nervous

system– Cardiovascular: the heart and blood vessels

1-6

Subjects That Encompass Both Anatomy and Physiology

• Pathology: structural and functional changes caused by disease

• Exercise Physiology: changes in structure and function caused by exercise

1-7

Structural & Functional Organizations

• Chemical Level: interaction of atoms

• Cell Level: functional unit of life

• Tissue Level: group of similar cells and the materials surrounding them

• Organ Level: one or more tissues functioning together

• Organ System Level: group of organs functioning together

• Organism Level: any living thing.

Characteristics of Life

• Organization: condition in which there are specific relationships and functions

• Metabolism: all chemical reactions of the body• Responsiveness: ability to sense changes and adjust• Growth: increase in size and/or number of cells• Development: changes in an organism over time

– Differentiation: change from general to specific

– Morphogenesis: change in shape of tissues, organs

• Reproduction: new cells or new organisms

1-14

Homeostasis

• Values of variables fluctuatearound the set point to establish a normal range of values.

• Set point: the ideal normal value of a variable.

• What is the set point for body temperature?

1-15

Feedback Systems

• Two types: negative and positive• Components

– Receptor: monitors the value of some variable– Control center: establishes the set point– Effector: can change the value of the variable

• Stimulus: deviation from the set point; detected by the receptor

• Response: produced by the effector

1-16

Negative Feedback

• Any deviation from the set point is made smaller (resisted)

• Examples: regulation of blood pressure, body temperature, blood sugar levels

1-17

Example of Negative Feedback

1-18

Changes in B.P. During Exercise

1-19

Positive Feedback

• When a deviation occurs, the response is to make the deviation greater– Unusual in normal, healthy

individuals, leads away from homeostasis and can result in death

– Example of normal positive feedback: childbirth

– Example of harmful positive feedback: after hemorrhage, blood pressure drops and the heart’s ability to pump blood decreases

1-20

Terminology and Body Plan• Anatomical Position

– Body erect, face forward, feet together, palms face forward

• Other Body Positions– Supine: lying face upward– Prone: lying face downward

• Directional Terms– Superior (Cephalic) vs. Inferior

(Caudal) toward or away from the head

– Medial vs. Lateral relative to the midline

– Proximal vs. Distal used to describe linear structures

– Superficial vs. Deep relative to the surface of the body

1-21

Terminology and Body Plan (cont.)

• Directional Terms (cont.)– Anterior (Ventral) vs.

Posterior (Dorsal). Anterior is forward; posterior is toward the back.

Body Parts and Regions

1-25

Abdominal Subdivisions

1-26

Body Planes

• Median (through the midline) and Sagittal (same plane, but to the left or right of median

• Frontal or Coronal divides body into anterior and posterior sections

• Transverse / Cross divides body into superior and inferior sections

• Oblique: Other than at a right angle

1-27

Planes of Section Through an Organ

• Longitudinal: cut along the length of an organ

• Cross/Transverse: cut at right angle to length of the organ

• Oblique: cut at any but a right angle

1-28

Trunk Cavities

• Diaphragm: divides body cavity into thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.

• Mediastinum: contains all structures of the thoracic cavity except the lungs

1-29

Serous Membranes• Cover the organs of trunk

cavities & line the cavity

• Fist represents an organ

• Inner balloon wall represents visceral serous membrane

• Outer balloon wall represents parietal serous membrane

• Cavity between two membranes filled with lubricating serous fluid that is produced by the membranes

• Inflammation of the serous membranes

1-30

Serous Membranes: Named for Their Specific Cavities and Organs

– Pericardium refers to heart.

– Pleura refers to lungs and thoracic cavity

– Peritoneum refers to abdominopelvic cavity

1-31

Imaging Techniques

• Radiography

• Computed Tomography (CT)

• Dynamic Spatial Reconstruction (DSR)

• Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)

• Ultrasound (US)

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

• Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

1-32

•Radiography: Shadowy negative of internal body structures

1-33

• Computed Tomography (CT

Scan): computer-analyzed composite of radiograph; shows slices

of body.• Dynamic Spatial

Reconstruction (DSR): 3-D version of CT using multiple slices.

1-34

•Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA): comparison of radiographs with and without dye. Used in blood vessel studies.

1-35

•Ultrasound (US): computer-analyzed sound waves bounced off a structure in the body.

1-36

•Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): uses magnetism and radio waves to look for varying alignment of protons in soft tissues.

1-37

•Positron Emission Tomography (PET): uses radioactively-labeled glucose to calculate metabolic activity of cells.
