An Introduction to the Human Body

• Anatomy– science of structure– relationships revealed by

dissection (cutting apart)– imaging techniques

• Physiology– science of body functions– normal adult physiology is

studied in this class– some genetic variations

occur

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY DEFINED

• Anatomy – the study of structure and the relationships

among structures.• Subdivisions

– surface anatomy, gross anatomy, systemic anatomy, regional anatomy, radiographic anatomy, developmental anatomy, embryology, cytology, and pathological anatomy.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY DEFINED

• Physiology– the study of how body structures

function• Subdivisions of physiology include

– cell physiology, systems physiology, pathophysiology, exercise physiology, neurophysiology, endocrinology, cardiovascular physiology, immunophysiology, respiratory physiology, renal physiology, and reproductive physiology

Structural Organization of Matter

1. Chemical Levela. Atoms(Proton, Neutron, electrons)

b. Molecules(Two or more atoms joined together by either covalent or ionic bonds)Four biologically important organic molecules in the human bodya. Proteins which are made from 20 different Amino Acids

Organ Systems Integumentary system

• Components– skin– hair – glands

• Functions– protection– regulates body temperature– eliminates waste– vitamin D– sensations

Organ Systems - Skeletal system

• Components– Bones– Joints– Cartilage

• Functions– Support– Protection– Body movement– Produces blood cells– Stores minerals & fats

Organ Systems - Muscular system

• Components– skeletal muscles

• Functions– body movement– posture– generates heat

Organ Systems - Nervous system

• Components– brain– spinal cord– nerves– special sense organs

• Functions– action potentials (nerve impulses)– detects, interprets, and responds

to changes in environment

• Organ Systems - Endocrine system

• Components– hormone-producing glands and cells

• Functions– regulates body activities

Organ Systems - Cardiovascular system

• Components– blood – heart– blood vessels

• Functions– pumps blood– carries O2 and nutrients to cells and wastes away

– regulates temperature, acid-base balance, and H2O

Organ Systems- Lymphatic system

• Components– lymph fluid & vessels – spleen– thymus– lymph nodes– tonsils

• Functions– transports dietary lipids– protection

Organ Systems – Respiratory System

• Components– lungs– Pharynx – larynx– trachea– bronchial tree

• Functions– exchange of gases– acid-base balance– sound production

Organ Systems - Digestive system

• Components– mouth– pharynx– esophagus– stomach– small intestines– large intestines– salivary glands– liver– gallbladder– Pancreas

• Functions– breakdown of food– absorption of food– eliminates wastes

Organ Systems - Urinary system

• Components– kidneys– ureters– urinary bladder – urethra

• Functions– eliminates waste– regulates blood composition & volume– acid-base balance

Organ Systems - Reproductive system

• Components– ovaries– Testes – associated structures

• Functions– produce gametes– hormone regulation of reproduction

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• Reproduction – production of new organisms

and new cells• Respiration – obtaining oxygen; removing

carbon dioxide; releasing energy from foods• Differentiation – unspecialized to specialized

1.5: Maintenance of Life

• Life depends on five (5) environmental factors:

• Water• Food• Oxygen• Heat• Pressure

Basic Life Processes

• HomeostasisEquilibrium of the body’s internal environment produced by the interaction of organ systems and regulatory processes (feedback systems).Homeostasis is a dynamic condition in response to changing conditions.The two body systems that largely control the body’s homeostatic state:

1. Nervous system2. Endocrine system

Control of Homeostasis

• Homeostasis is continually being disrupted by– external stimuli

• intense heat, cold , and lack of oxygen– internal stimuli

• psychological stresses• exercise

• Disruptions are usually mild & temporary• If homeostasis is not maintained, death may result

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

CONTROL OF HOMEOSTASIS

• Homeostatic imbalances occur because of disruptions from the external or internal environments.– Homeostasis is regulated by the nervous system and

endocrine system, acting together or independently.– The nervous system detects changes and sends nerve

impulses to counteract the disruption.– The endocrine system regulates homeostasis by secreting

hormones.• Whereas nerve impulses cause rapid changes, hormones

usually work more slowly.• Examples: CO2, O2, temperature, pH, blood pressure, …

Homeostatic Imbalances

• Disruption of homeostasis can lead to disease and death.

• Disorder is a general term for any change or abnormality of function.

• Disease is a more specific term for an illness characterized by a recognizable set of signs and symptoms.– A local disease is one that affects one part or a limited

region of the body.– A systemic disease affects either the entire body or several

parts.

Homeostatic Imbalances

• Disease is a more specific term for an illness characterized by a recognizable set of signs and symptoms.– Signs are objective changes that a clinician can observe

and measure; e.g., fever or rash.– Symptoms are subjective changes in body functions that

are not apparent to an observer; e.g., headache or nausea.• Diagnosis is the art of distinguishing one disease from

another or determining the nature of a disease; a diagnosis is generally arrived at after the taking of a medical history and the administration of a physical examination.
