Anatomy/Physiology Unit Overview

Physiology
From the individual cell to the total organism, each functioning unit is organized according to
homeostasis, or how the body and its parts deal with changing demands while maintaining a constant
internal environment. In 1859 noted French physiologist Claude Bernard described the difference
between the internal environment of the cells and the external environment in which the organism
lives. Organisms are shielded from the variations of the external environment by the “constancy of
the internal milieu.” This “steady state” refers to the dynamic equilibrium achieved by the
integrated functioning of all the parts of the organism. American physiologist Walter Cannon called
this phenomenon homeostasis, which means “standing still.” All organ systems of the human body
contribute to homeostasis so that blood and tissue constituents and values stay within a normal
range. A supportive review of the major systems of the body and of the organ components of those
systems of information taught in grade five and grade seven.
The digestive system delivers nutrients (e.g., glucose) to the circulatory system. Oxygen
molecules move from the air to the alveoli of the lungs and then to the circulatory system. From
the circulatory system glucose and oxygen molecules move from the capillaries into the cells of the
body where cellular respiration occurs. During cellular respiration these molecules are oxidized into
carbon dioxide and water, and energy is trapped in the form of ATP. The gas exchange process is
reversed for the removal of carbon dioxide from its higher concentration in the cells to the
circulatory system and, finally, to its elimination by exhalation from the lungs.
The concentration of sugar in the blood is monitored, and students should know that sugar can be
stored or pulled from reserves (glycogen) in the liver and muscles to maintain a constant blood sugar
level. Amino acids contained in proteins can also serve as an energy source, but first the amino acids
must be deaminated, or chemically converted, in the liver, producing ammonia (a toxic product),
which is converted to water-soluble urea and excreted by the kidneys. Teachers should emphasize
that all these chemicals are transported by the circulatory system and the cells. Organs at the final
destination direct these chemicals to their exit from the circulatory system.
As the prime coordinators of the body’s activities, the nervous and endocrine systems must be
examined and their interactive roles clearly defined. An individual becomes aware of the
environment through the sense organs and other body receptors (e.g., by allowing for touch, taste,
and smell and by collecting information about temperature, light, and sound). The body reflexively
responds to external stimuli through a reflex arc. A reflex arc is the pathway along the central
nervous system where an impulse must travel to bring about a reflex; e.g., sneezing or coughing.
Review the sense organs, identify other body receptors that make humans aware of their
environment, and see ways in which the body reflexively responds to an external stimulus through a
reflex arc. Hormones work in conjunction with the nervous system, as shown, for ex-ample, in the
digestive system, where insulin released from the pancreas into the blood regulates the uptake of
glucose by muscle cells. The pituitary master gland produces growth hormone for controlling height.
Other pituitary hormones have specialized roles (e.g., follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and
luteinizing hormone [LH] control the gonads, thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH] controls the
thyroid, and adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH] regulates the formation of glucocorticoids by
the adrenal cortex). This master gland is itself controlled by the hypothalamus of the brain.
Feedback loops are the means through which the nervous system uses the endocrine system to
regulate body conditions. The presence or absence of hormones in blood brought to the brain by
the circulatory system will trigger an attempt to regulate conditions in the body. The hormone
leptin, is used to illustrate the relevance of feedback loops. Leptin is produced by fat cells as they
become filled with storage reserves. Leptin is carried by the blood to the brain, where it normally
acts to inhibit the appetite center, an example of negative feedback. When fat reserves diminish,
the concentration of leptin decreases, a phenomenon that in turn causes the appetite center in the
brain to start the hunger stimulus and activate the urge to eat.
Transmission of nerve impulses involves an electrochemical “action potential” generated by
gated ion channels in the membrane that make use of the countervailing gradients of sodium and
potassium ions across the membrane. Potassium ion concentration is high inside cells and low
outside; sodium ion concentration is the opposite. The sodium and potassium ion concentration
gradients are restored by an active transport system, a pump that exchanges sodium and potassium
ions across the membrane and uses ATP hydrolysis as a source of free energy. The release of
neurotransmitter chemicals from the axon terminal at the synapse may initiate an action potential
in an adjacent neuron, propagating the impulse to a new cell.
The pathways of impulses from dendrite to cell body to axon of sensory neurons, interneurons,
and motor neurons link the chains of events that occur in a reflex action. You should be able to
diagram this pathway. Similar paths of neural connections lead to the brain, where the sensations

become conscious and conscious actions are initiated in response to external stimuli. You should
also be able to identify gray and white matter in the central nervous system.
Immunology
Some bacteria, parasites, and viruses cause human diseases because they either rob the body
of necessary sustenance or secrete toxins that cause injury. The human body has a variety of
mechanisms to interfere with or destroy invading pathogens. Besides protection afforded by the
skin, one of the most effective means of defending against agents that harm the body is the immune
system with its cellular and chemical defenses. A clear understanding of the components of the
immune system and knowledge of how vaccines and antibiotics are used to combat disease is needed
to understand why certain medical procedures are necessary. You should also know that acquired
immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) compromises the immune system, causing affected persons to
succumb to other AIDS-associated infections that are harmless to people with an intact immune
system.
The skin serves as a physical barrier to prevent the passage of many disease-causing
microorganisms. Cuts and abrasions compromise the skin’s ability to act as a barrier. Dangers and
physiologic responses occur with a break in the skin.
Cells produce antibodies to oppose antigens, substances that are foreign to the body. An example
of an antigen is a surface protein of a flu virus, a protein with a shape and structure unlike those of
any human proteins. The immune system recognizes that the flu virus structure is different and
generates proteins called antibodies that bind to the flu virus. Antibodies can inactivate pathogens
directly or signal immune cells that pathogens are present.
Several weeks are required before the immune system develops immunity to a new antigen. To
overcome this problem, vaccinations safely give the body a look in advance at the foreign
structures. Vaccines usually contain either weakened or killed pathogens that are responsible for a
specific infectious disease, or they may contain a purified protein or subunit from the pathogen.
Although the vaccine does not cause an infectious disease, the antigens in the mixture prompt the
body to generate antibodies to oppose the pathogen. When the individual is exposed to the
pathogenic agent, perhaps years later, the body still remembers having seen the antigens in the
vaccine dose and can respond quickly. You have been exposed to the practical aspects of
immunization through your knowledge of the vaccinations you must receive before you can enter
school. You have all experienced getting shots and may have seen your personal vaccination record
in which dates and kinds of inoculations are recorded.
Early literature provides descriptions of vaccine use from pragmatic exposure, but the term
vaccine is derived from the cowpox exudate that Edward Jenner used during the 1700s to
inoculate villagers against the more pathogenic smallpox. Louis Pasteur, noted for his discovery of
the rabies treatment, also developed several vaccines. Poliovirus, the cause of infantile paralysis
(poliomyelitis), was finally conquered in the 1950s through vaccines that Jonas Salk and Albert B.
Sabin refined. A virus, which is the simplest form of a genetic entity, is incapable of metabolic life
and reproduction outside the cells of other living organisms. A virus contains genetic material but
has no ribosomes. Although some viruses are benign, many harm their host organism by destroying
or altering its cell structures. Generally, the body perceives viruses as antigens and produces
antibodies to counteract the virus. Bacteria are organisms with a full cellular structure. They, too,
can be benign or harmful. Harmful bacteria and their toxins are perceived as antigens by the body,
which in turn produces antibodies. In some cases infectious diseases may be treated effectively
with antiseptics, which are chemicals that oxidize or in other ways inactivate the infecting
organism. Antiseptics are also useful in decontaminating surfaces with which the body may come in
contact (e.g., countertops). Antibiotics are effective in treating bacterial infections, sometimes
working by destroying or interfering with the growth of bacterial cell walls or the functioning of
cell wall physiology or by inhibiting bacterial synthesis of DNA, RNA, or proteins. Antibiotics are
ineffective in treating viral infections.
You will learn about infections caused by protists (malaria, amoebic dysentery), bacteria (blood
poisoning, botulism, food poisoning, tuberculosis), and viruses (rabies, colds, influenza, AIDS). A
brief review will occur of the dangers of common bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics through
long-standing over-application, as shown by the increasing incidence of drug-resistant tuberculosis
and other bacteria.
When an immune system is compromised (e.g., through infection by the human immunodeficiency
virus [HIV]), it becomes either unable to recognize a dangerous antigen or incapable of mounting an
appropriate defense. This situation happens when the virus infects and destroys key cells in the
immune system.
