Metabolism and Its Regulation
Types of Metabolism
• Catabolism
–
Reactions that break substances down into simpler
compounds
–
Used to form ATP
• Anabolism
–
Reactions that build substances up
–
Simple compounds are used to manufacture
materials needed for growth, function and tissue
repair
–
Often require ATP-energy obtained from the
breakdown of nutrients used to form a compound
often described as the cells energy current

Metabolism and Its Regulation
Homeostasis
• Body’s maintenance of internal balance
• Body fluid balance is especially important
–
Extracellular fluid
• Blood plasma
• Lymph
• Fluid between cells
–
Intracellular fluid
• Fluid within cells

Metabolism and Its Regulation
Homeostasis
• Negative feedback
–
Critical for maintaining our health
–
Keeps body conditions within a normal range by
reversing any upward or downward shift

Metabolism and Its Regulation
Effects of Aging
• Gradual changes in all body systems
• Some changes are harmless.
–
Wrinkles and gray hair
• Some changes may result in injury and disease.
–
Decreased kidney function
–
Loss of bone mass
–
Formation of deposits within blood vessels

Body Directions
Directional Terms
• Healthcare professionals use standardized terms to
describe body directions.
–
Superior and inferior
–
Anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal)
–
Medial and lateral
–
Proximal and distal
• All descriptions assume that the body is in anatomic
position.

Body Directions
Planes of Division
• Anatomists can divide the body along three planes, each
of which is a cut through the body in a different
direction
–
Frontal plane
•
AKA “coronal plane”
–
Sagittal plane
–
Transverse plane
•
Superior/inferior

Body Cavities
The body is divided into two main cavities.
Dorsal Cavity
– Two main subdivisions
•
Cranial cavity
•
Spinal cavity
Ventral Cavity
– Two main subdivisions separated by diaphragm
(muscle used in breathing)
•
Thoracic cavity
•
Abdominopelvic cavity

Hypogastric
–
Hypochondriac (left and right)
–
Lumbar (left and right)
–
Iliac, or inguinal (left and right)
