Anatomy & Physiology
Intro:
For next class period….
• Read pgs 2-4
• Compare and contrast anatomy and physiology.
• How would the role or duties of an anatomist
differ from that of a physiologist?
• Describe the following subdivisions of anatomy:
gross, regional, systemic, surface.
• Define the following prefixes and suffixes:
append-, cardi-, homeo-, -logy, pariet-, peri-,
pleur-, -stasis, -tomy
Anatomy:
Physiology:
structure closely relates to function
Branches of Anatomy:
• Gross
• Histology
• Embryology
• Surface
Characteristics of Life
• Movement - self initiated change in position,
motion of internal parts
• Responsiveness (irritability) - Ability to sense
changes within, or around the organism and react
to them
• Growth - increase in body size
• Reproduction - Parents produce offspring /
producing new individuals
• Respiration - Obtaining oxygen (O2), using it to
release energy from food substances, and getting
rid of wastes
• Digestion - Chemically changing (breaking down)
food substances, and getting rid of wastes
• Absorption - Passage of Digested products (food
substances) through membranes and into body
fluids
• Circulation - Movement of substances throughout
the body
• Assimilation - Changing absorbed substances into
chemically different substances
• Excretion - Removal of wastes
HOMEOSTASIS:
Metabolism
The Integumentary System

•
Skeletal
•
•
• Functions with muscles to move
body parts
•
• Stores inorganic salts
•
•
•
Integrates and coordinates with
the endocrine system
Secretes hormones that
target a particular group of
cells
