Describe the general nature of metabolism. 11. List the five basic needs essential for human life. 12. Define homeostasis and explain its relationship to both normal body functions and disorders. 13. Describe the general mechanisms of negative feedback and positive feedback. 1.1 Anatomy and Physiology • Anatomy – Study of structure and organization of the body and its parts – Gross anatomy vs. Microanatomy • Physiology – Study of the function of the body and its parts 1.2 Levels of Organization • Chemical level – Simplest level – Atoms – Molecules • Cellular level – Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of the body – Organelle • Tissue level – Aggregation of similar cells that perform similar functions – Several different types • Organ level – Two or more tissues that work together to perform specific functions • Organ system level – Groups of organs that work together to perform specific system functions – 11 organ systems 1.3 Directional Terms • Describe relative position of a body part • Terms occur in pairs with opposite meanings • Uses the anatomical position – Upright body – Arms at sides with palms forward 1.4 Body Regions • Body consists of two portions – Axial portion – Appendicular portion • Portions divided into regions with special names to aid in communication and location of body components 1.5 Body Planes and Sections • Body planes are imaginary flat surfaces that pass through the body at right angles to each other • Important to understand the threedimensional structure of an observed object • Transverse plane – Divides body into superior and inferior portions • Sagittal plane – Divides the body into right and left portions – Midsagittal (medial) plane • Coronal (frontal) plane – Divides the body into anterior and posterior portions 1.6 Body Cavities • A body cavity is a space within the body and contains internal organs • There are two major body cavities – Dorsal cavity – Ventral cavity • Dorsal cavity – Cranial cavity – Vertebral canal • Ventral body cavity – Thoracic cavity – Abdominopelvic cavity • Abdominal cavity • Pelvic cavity • Membranes of Body Cavities – Support and protect the internal organs in the cavities • Dorsal Cavity Membranes – Meninges • Ventral Cavity Membranes – Serous membranes • Line cavity and organ surfaces • Secrete watery lubricating fluid – Pleura and pleural membranes in thoracic cavity • Parietal pleura • Visceral pleura • Serous fluid is located between the two pleurae in the pleural cavity – Pericardium envelops the heart • Visceral pericardium • Parietal pericardium • Serous fluid between the membranes fills the pericardial cavity – Peritoneum lines the abdominal cavity and surfaces of organs in that cavity • Parietal peritoneum • Visceral peritoneum – Forms supportive mesenteries that support abdominal organs • Space between membranes is the peritoneal cavity 1.7 Abdominopelvic Subdivisions • Abdomen can be divided into four quadrants • Abdomen can also be divided into nine regions 1.8 Maintenance of Life • Metabolism consists of all the chemical reactions that are collectively known as life – Anabolism – Catabolism • Life is FRAGILE!!! It depends on normal functioning of trillions of cells • Survival Needs are essential for life 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Food Water Oxygen Body temperature Atmospheric pressure • Homeostasis is also essential for life – Maintenance of relatively stable internal environment by self-regulating physiological processes – Dynamic balance held within narrow limits – Maintained despite internal and external factors altering body temperature and fluids – Disruption leads to disorder and disease – Negative-feedback mechanisms • Most common type of regulatory mechanism • Minimizes deviation from the norm • Examples: body temperature, blood pressure – Positive-feedback mechanisms • Rare • Stimulate and promote a change in a body condition • Examples: uterine contractions during labor, blood clotting Negative Feedback Mechanism Please note that due to differing operating systems, some animations will not appear until the presentation is viewed in Presentation Mode (Slide Show view). You may see blank slides in the “Normal” or “Slide Sorter” views. All animations will appear after viewing in Presentation Mode and playing each animation. Most animations will require the latest version of the Flash Player, which is available at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
