INTRODUCTION
Allocated Time:
Review:
5 Minutes
You have had previous lectures on anatomy and physiology during the Combat
medic course, this lecture will built upon what you have already learned.
Objective:
This chapter presents the definitions and subdivisions of anatomy and
physiology and the relationship between structure and function. The six
levels of structural organization that comprise the body (chemical,
cellular, tissue, organ, system, and organismic); components and
functions of the principal body systems are then discussed. The concept
of homeostasis as an underlying principle in the study of living systems
is introduced and the body's external environment is explained in terms
of the dynamics of fluid movement between the extracellular and
intracellular compartments.
Importance:
Nursing Assistants work in different health care setting so it is important to
gain an understainding of this subject as it will apply to clinical setting.
Fit:
This is the first chapter on anatomy and physiology.
Approach:
You will be presented the subject in a lecture format and will be tested using a
written exam at a later date.
Control Statement:
If you have any questions during the lesson please feel free to ask.
