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

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
