Introduction Anatomy The study of external structures The study of internal structures The study of the relationship between body parts The careful observation of the human body
Introduction Physiology The study of how the body functions The study of mechanisms in the body
Microscopic Anatomy Microscopic anatomy The study of structures that cannot be seen without magnification Cytology—study of cells Histology—study of tissues
Microscopic Anatomy Macroscopic anatomy The study of structures that can be seen without magnification Surface anatomy: refers to the superficial anatomical markings Regional anatomy: refers to all structures in a specific area of the body, whether they are superficial or deep Systemic anatomy: The study of the organ systems of the body (digestive system, cardiovascular system, etc.)

Other Perspectives on Anatomy Developmental anatomy: Examines structural changes over time Embryology: The study of early developmental stages Comparative anatomy: Considers different types of animals Clinical anatomy: Focuses on pathological changes during illness
Other Perspectives on Anatomy Surgical anatomy: Studies anatomical landmarks important for surgical procedures Radiographic anatomy: The study of anatomical structures with the use of x-rays or ultrasound scans on an intact body Cross-sectional anatomy: The use of radiographic techniques (CT and MRI scans) to look at cross sections of the body

Levels of Organization Chemical/Molecular (simple) Cell Tissue Organ Organ system Organism (complex)
Levels of Organization Chemical/Molecular Over a dozen elements in the body Four of them make up 99% of the body Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen Major classes of compounds Water Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Nucleic acids

An Introduction to Organ Systems Responsiveness (irritability) A change in activity based on a stimulus Adaptability Long-term responsiveness Growth The increase in size of an organism Differentiation Becoming specialized to perform particular functions
An Introduction to Organ Systems Reproduction The production of new generations of the same organism Movement The ability to change the position of something Metabolism All the chemical reactions in the body Anabolism: the synthesis of complex molecules Catabolism: the breakdown of complex molecules
An Introduction to Organ Systems Absorption: The process of bringing chemicals into the body Respiration: The absorption, transport, and use of oxygen by cells Digestion: The processes of catabolism that make nutrients small enough to be absorbed Excretion: The removal of wastes
HOMEOSTASIS • Homeostatic regulation is the adjustment of physiological systems to preserve homeostasis. • Two general mechanisms are involved in homeostatic regulation: autoregulation and extrinsic regulation: • 1. Autoregulation, (intrinsic regulation)a cell, a tissue, an organ, or an organ system adjusts automatically in response to some environmental change. • Example: oxygen decrease- cells release chemicals- dilate bl.vessels. • 2. Extrinsic regulation nervous system or endocrine system control or adjust the activities of many systems . • For example: exercise-n.s. increases heart rate & n.s. reduces blood flow to less active organs(digestive)
nervous system directs rapid, short-term, and very specific responses. (hot stove) • endocrine system releases chemical messengers, called hormones, that affect tissues and organs throughout the body. • The responses may not be immediately apparent, but they may persist for days or weeks. • Ex:regulation of blood volume and composition (starvation). • The endocrine system also plays a major role in growth and development
homeostatic regulatory mechanism consists of three parts: • (1) a receptor, a sensor that is sensitive to a particular environmental change, or stimulus; • (2) a control center, or integration center, which receives and processes the information supplied by the receptor; and • (3) an effector, a cell or organ that responds to the commands of the control center and whose activity either opposes or enhances the stimulus.
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK • an effector activated by the control center opposes, or negates, the original stimulus. Negative feedback thus tends to minimize change, • Most homeostatic regulatory mechanisms involve negative feedback. (body temperature)hypothalamus,
POSITIVE FEEDBACK • In positive feedback, an initial stimulus produces a response that exaggerates or enhances the change in the original conditions rather than opposing it. • positive feedback loops are often incorporated into control mechanisms in which a potentially dangerous or stressful process must be completed quickly. • For example, the immediate danger from a severe cut is the loss of blood, which can lower blood pressure and reduce the efficiency of the heart. clotting gets under way, each step releases chemicals that accelerate the process. formation of a blood clot, patches the vessel wall and stops the bleeding.
