Overview of Anatomy and Physiology
• Anatomy – (Greek – to cut up) - the study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another
• Gross or macroscopic• Microscopic• Developmental
• Physiology – (Greek – study of nature) - the study of the function of the body’s structural machinery; explains physical & chemical processes that direct body activities
![Page 3: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Gross Anatomy
• Regional – all structures in one part of the body (such as the abdomen or leg)
• Systemic – gross anatomy of the body studied by system• Surface – study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying
skin
![Page 4: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Microscopic Anatomy
• Cytology – study of the cell• Histology – study of tissues
Developmental Anatomy• Traces structural changes throughout life• Embryology – study of developmental changes of the body before
birth
![Page 5: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Specialized Branches of Anatomy
• Pathological anatomy – study of structural changes caused by disease• Radiographic anatomy – study of internal structures visualized by
specialized scanning procedures such as X-ray, MRI, and CT scans• Molecular biology – study of anatomical structures at a subcellular
level
![Page 6: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Physiology
• Considers the operation of specific organ systems• Renal – kidney function• Neurophysiology – workings of the nervous system• Cardiovascular – operation of the heart and blood vessels
• Focuses on the functions of the body, often at the cellular or molecular level
![Page 7: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Understanding physiology also requires a knowledge of physics, which explains
• electrical currents• blood pressure• the way muscle uses bone for movement
![Page 8: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Principle of Complementarity
• Function always reflects structure• What a structure can do depends on its specific form• Core theme - Structure (anatomy) determines what functions
(physiology) can take place; if structure changes, the function must also change
![Page 9: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
6 Levels of Structural Organization
1. Chemical – atoms combine to form molecules which combine to form cells
2. Cellular – smallest unit of life; human composed of 60-100 trillion cells; combine to form tissues
3. Tissue – groups of cells that perform a common function; four types = epithelial, connective, muscular, & nervous
4. Organ – composed of two or more tissue types that perform a specific function; most contain all 4 tissue types
5. Organ system – group of organs that cooperate to accomplish a common purpose; ex. circulatory system, digestive system, etc.
6. Organismal – highest level of structural organization; all systems of body working together

10 Necessary Life Functions1. Maintaining boundaries – the internal environment remains distinct from the external environment
• Cellular level – accomplished by plasma membranes• Organismal level – accomplished by the skin
2. Organization – structure & functions is determined by genetics
3. Movement – locomotion, propulsion (peristalsis), blood, breathing, molecules, and contractility
![Page 17: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
4. Responsiveness – ability to monitor internal or external conditions and react to changes
5. Digestion – breakdown of ingested foodstuffs; process by which complex substances are converted to simpler forms so that they can be absorbed through intestinal wall & transported by blood
6. Metabolism – all the chemical reactions that occur in the body; releases energy, creates body heat, enables cells to synthesize & secrete molecules
7. Excretion – removal of wastes produced by metabolism
![Page 18: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
8. Reproduction – cellular and organismal levels• Cellular – an original cell divides and produces two identical
daughter cells• Organismal – sperm and egg unite to make a whole new person
9. Growth – increase in size of a body part or of the organism
10. Differentiation – result in structurally and functionally distinct organs
![Page 19: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Survival Needs• Nutrients – needed for energy and cell building• Oxygen – 20% of air; needed for release of energy
during cellular respiration and for metabolic reactions
• Water – min. 60% of body weight; provides the necessary environment for chemical reactions
• Normal body temperature – necessary for chemical reactions to occur at life-sustaining rates
• Atmospheric pressure – required for proper breathing and gas exchange in the lungs
![Page 20: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Homeostasis
• Homeostasis – ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment in an ever-changing outside world
• The internal environment of the body is in a dynamic state of equilibrium
• Chemical, thermal, and neural factors interact to maintain homeostasis; necessary for survival and good health; its loss results in illness or disease
![Page 21: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Homeostatic Control Mechanisms• Variables produce a change in the body• The three interdependent components of control
mechanisms:1. Receptor (sensor) – responds to a stimuli
(environmental change) by sending information to the control center
2. Control center – determines the set point at which the variable is maintained; usually consists of brain, spinal cord, or endocrine gland; assesses multiple stimuli, determines deviations from standard set points, and produces a response by increasing or decreasing the activity of the effector
3. Effector – muscles or glands; provides the means to respond to stimuli
![Page 22: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Negative Feedback
• In negative feedback systems, the output shuts off the original stimulus
• Most control systems involve negative feedback systems which act to reduce or stop the initial stimulus; ex. maintenance of body temperature
- antagonistic actions – opposite actions; allow for fine tuning of homeostatic conditions
• Example: Regulation of room temperature

Positive Feedback• In positive feedback systems, the output enhances or exaggerates the original stimulus
• Rare in humans; works against homeostasis
• Example: Regulation of blood clotting
• Ex. Oxytocin during labor stimulated by pressure on cervix; causes greater uterine contractions & more pressure on cervix

Homeostatic Imbalance
• Disturbance of homeostasis or the body’s normal equilibrium• Overwhelming the usual negative feedback mechanisms allows
destructive positive feedback mechanisms to take over

Body Planes
• Sagittal – divides the body into right and left parts• Midsagittal or medial – sagittal plane that lies on the midline• Frontal or coronal – divides the body into anterior and posterior parts• Transverse or horizontal (cross section) – divides the body into
superior and inferior parts• Oblique section – cuts made diagonally

2 Principle Body cavities –internal cavities that confine organs that have related functions
1. Dorsal (posterior) cavity protects the nervous system, and is divided into two subdivisions
• Cranial cavity – within the skull; encases the brain• Vertebral cavity – runs within the vertebral column;
encases the spinal cord2. Ventral (anterior) cavity houses the internal organs
(viscera), and is divided into two subdivisions• Thoracic - chest cavity; includes mediastinum,
pleural & pericardial cavities• Abdominopelvic - may be divided into abdominal
cavity and pelvic cavity
![Page 66: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Body Cavities
• Thoracic cavity is subdivided into two pleural cavities, the mediastinum, and the pericardial cavity
• Pleural cavities – each houses a lung• Mediastinum – contains the pericardial cavity; surrounds the remaining
thoracic organs• Pericardial cavity – encloses the heart
![Page 67: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Body Cavities
• The abdominopelvic cavity is separated from the superior thoracic cavity by the dome-shaped diaphragm
• It is composed of two subdivisions• Abdominal cavity – contains the stomach, intestines, spleen, liver, and other
organs• Pelvic cavity – lies within the pelvis and contains the bladder, reproductive
organs, and rectum

Body membranes – thin layers of connective and epithelial tissue that cover, separate, and support
viscera and line body cavities2 types
1. Mucous membranes – secrete thick liquid substance called mucus; lubricates or protects organs; lines cavities that enter or exit the body
2. Serous membranes – line thoracic and adominopelvic cavities and cover visceral organs; secrete watery serous fluid; include: pleurae (lung), pericardial (heart) membranes, & peritoneal (abdominal) membranes
![Page 71: The Human Body: An Orientation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062719/568130b1550346895d96c509/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Ventral Body Cavity Membranes
• Parietal serosa lines internal body walls• Visceral serosa covers the internal organs• Serous fluid separates the serosae

Clinical procedures used to determine anatomical structure and function
1. Inspection – observing body for swelling, rashes, needle marks, irregular breathing, etc.
2. Palpation – applying fingers with firm pressure to surface of body to feel lumps, tender spots, body landmarks, etc.
3. Percussion – tapping sharply on body walls to detect vibrations; used to locate excess fluid or organ abnormalities
4. Auscultation – listening to sounds of various organs; breathing, heartbeat, etc.
5. Reflex testing – observing automatic response to stimulus
