(function)
• Four Types of Tissues
• Fields of Anatomy
• Various Systems of body
Anatomy & Physiology Defined
Anatomy
The study of the structure of living things.
Physiology
The study of the function (mechanical,
physical, or biochemical function) of living things.
Anatomy - Physiology Analogy
Anatomy of a horse:
Is composed of its parts.
Physiology of the horse :
Is what the horse can
do with its anatomy.
Fields of Anatomy
Macroscopic Anatomy (Gross anatomy)
The study of anatomical structures that can
be seen with the naked eye.
Studies the human or animal body by
dissection.
Microscopic Anatomy
The study of tiny anatomical structures that
must be viewed with a microscope.
Cytology: the study of cells
Histology: the study of the organization
of the four basic types of tissues
Introduction to HISTOLOGY
PROTOPLASM – Living Substance
CELL – Smallest unit of protoplasm
CELL
Simplest animals consist of a single cell
TISSUE – Groups of cells with same general
function and texture (texture = tissue)
TISSUE
ORGAN
e.g., muscle, nerve, epithelium, connective tissue
ORGAN – Two or more types of tissues;
larger functional unit
e.g., skin, kidney, intestine, blood vessels
ORGAN SYSTEM - Several organs
SYSTEM
e.g., respiratory, digestive, reproductive systems
Four Basic Types of Tissue
EPITHELIUM
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
MUSCULAR TISSUE
NERVOUS TISSUE
Functions of Epithelium
Covers organs
Lines viscera and
blood vessels
Secretory cells
of glands
Epithelia: Specialized for Functions
Absorption - Intestine
Secretion - Pancreas
Transport - Eye, Endothelium in vessels
Excretion - Kidney
Protection – Against
Mechanical Damage and
Dehydration
Sensory Reception –
Pain To Avoid
Injury, Taste Buds,
Olfactory, etc.
Contraction – Myoepithelium
Epithelia line air ways and
blood vessels in lungs
Small pieces of lungs from a non-smoker
and from a smoker
Connective Tissue
The HISTOLOGICAL GLUE which binds
the other tissues together to form
organs, specializations include blood,
cartilage, and bone.
Connective Tissue
Obesity
Fat cells of
connective
tissue
130 lbs
vs 300 lbs
Connective Tissue: Blood Cells
Red Cells
Carry oxygen to and carbon dioxide
from the body’s tissues.
White Cells
Transient inhabitants of the blood
Manufactured in bone marrow
Pass through the blood to
connective tissue where they
participate in defense against
biological and chemical invaders!
Platelets
Blood clotting
BLOOD - DIAGNOSTIC VALUE MOST EXAMINED
TYPES OF INFORMATION:
IDENTIFY NATURE OF DISEASE
VIRAL – T LYMPHOCYTES
BACTERIAL – NEUTROPHILS
PARASITIC – EOSINOPHILS
FOLLOWS THE COURSE OF
DISEASE
ALLOWS METHOD TO EVALUATE
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
TREATMENT
Muscular Tissue
Function
Generation of contractile force
Distinguishing Features
High concentration of contractile proteins
actin and myosin arranged either
diffusely in the cytoplasm or in regular
repeating units called sarcomeres
MUSCLE – Introduction
Contractivity is one of the fundamental properties
of protoplasm and is exhibited in varing degree by
nearly all cell types. In the cells of muscle, the
ability to convert chemical energy into mechanical
work has become highly developed. Locomotion
of multicellular animals, beating of their hearts,
and movement of their internal organs depends on
muscles of different types.
Nervous Tissue
Functions
Specialized for the
transmission, reception,
and integration of
electrical impulses
Distinguishing Features
Neurons: very large excitable cells with long
processes called axons and dendrites.
The axons make contact with other neurons or
muscle cells at a synapse where the impulses are
either electrically or chemically transmitted to other
neurons or various target cells (e.g., Muscle).
Communication:
Function of the Nervous System
Dependent upon
special signaling
properties of neuron
Long processes of
neurons (e.g., 1 meter
motor neuroaxon)

the surface of the body.

Radiological Anatomy
Kinesiology
Fields of Anatomy
Developmental Anatomy
The study of the formation of
parts of the body.
Neuroanatomy
The study of gross and
microscopic structures of the
nervous system.
Integument or Skin System
Organ: 2 or more types of tissues making a larger functional unit
Epidermis
Outermost layer of skin
Dermis
Beneath the epidermis
Consists of connective
tissue
Hypodermis
Lowest layer of skin
Mainly houses fat
Functions of Skin
•
•
•
•
•
Protects against injury and desiccation
Maintenance of water balance
Excretes various substances
Thermoregulation
Receives stimuli
– Temperature
– Pain
– Pressure
• Basis of recognition and yields
clues to one’s well being
• Fat metabolism in the hypodermis
Musculoskeletal System
Muscles: system of levers that aid muscle action

getting food into the
mouth), digestion, and
absorption of food and
elimination of solid
waste materials.

Different Stomachs
Horses, dogs, cats, pigs,
and humans have a
single chambered
stomach.
Cattle have ruminant
stomachs with four
different chambers!
Digestive system of the horse
The Respiratory System
All higher animals require a mechanism to:
1. Obtain O2 from the environment
2. Get rid of CO2
Plumbing inside the body = Anatomy
Gas Exchange?
Oxygen diffuses out and
Carbon Dioxide diffuses
into the air space of the
alveolus
Diffusion: spontaneous
process of equalization of
physical states (e.g., heat
spreading in a room)
Diffuse: to spread in all
directions
