2. What is Anatomy? • Anatomy (= morphology): study of body’s structure • Physiology: study of body’s function • Structure reflects Function!!! • Branches of Anatomy • Gross: Large structures • Surface: Landmarks • Histology: Cells and Tissues • Developmental: Structures change through life • Embryology: Structures form and develop before birth

3. Hierarchy of the Body • Moleculesmade of chemicals (4 macromolecules in body) • carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids • Cellsmade of molecules • cells and organelles • Tissuemade of cells • epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous • Organsmade of tissues • made of >1 type of tissue • Systemsmade of organs • 11 systems in human body • Organismsmade of systems Pg 3

4. Anatomical Directions • Anatomical position • Regions • Axial vs. Appendicular • Anatomical Directions-It’s all Relative! • Anterior (ventral) vs. Posterior (dorsal) • Medial vs. Lateral • Superior (cranial) vs. Inferior (caudal) • Superficial vs. Deep • Proximal vs. Distal • Anatomical Planes • Frontal = Coronal • Transverse = Horizontal = Cross Section • Sagittal Pg 6

5. Embryology: growth and development of the body before birth • 38 weeks from conception to birth • Prenatal period • Embryonic: weeks 1-8 • Fetal: weeks 9-38 • Basic adult body plan shows by 2nd month • Skin = epidermis, dermis • Outer body wall=muscle, vertebral column and spinal cord • Body cavity and digestive tubes • Kidney and gonads • Limbs=skin, muscle, bone

6. Weeks 5-8 and Fetal Period • Second month, tadpole  person • Tail disappears • Head enlarges • Extremities form (day 28, limb buds appear) • Eyes, nose, ears form • Organs in place • Fetal Period • Rapid growth and maturation • Organs grow and increase in complexity & competence

7. 4 Types of Tissue • Epithelium • Connective • Muscle • Nervous

8. Tissues: groups of cells closely associated that have a similar structure and perform a related function • Four types of tissue • Epithelial = covering/lining • Connective = support • Muscle = movement • Nervous = control • Most organs contain all 4 types • Tissue has non-living extracellular material between its cells

9. EPITHELIAL TISSUE: sheets of cells cover a surface or line a cavity(tissue type #1) • Functions • Protection • Secretion • Absorption • Ion Transport • Slippery Surface

10. Characteristics of Epithelium • Cellularity • Specialized Contacts • Polarity • Apical vs. Basal • Supported by Connective Tissue • Avascular • Innervated • Regenerative

11. Classification of Epithelium-based on number of layers and cell shape • Layers • Simple • Stratified • Psuedostratified • Stratified layers characterized by shape of apical layer • Shapes • Squamous • Cuboidal • Columnar • Transitional Pg 71

12. Quiz!! Can You Identify the Classes of Epithelium? E D A B C

13. Features of Apical Surface of Epithelium • Microvilli:(ex) in small intestine • Finger-like extensions of the plasma membrane of apical epithelial cell • Increase surface area for absorption • Cilia: (ex) respiratory tubes • Whip-like, motile extension of plasma membrane • Moves mucus, etc. over epithelial surface 1-way • Flagella:(ex) spermatoza • Extra long cilia • Moves cell

14. Features of Lateral Surface of Epithelium • Cells are connected to neighboring cells via: • Proteins-link cells together, interdigitate • Contour of cells-wavy contour fits together • Cell Junctions • Desmosomes-adhesive spots on lateral sides linked by proteins/filaments, holds tissues together • Tight Junctions-at apical area, plasma membrane of adjacent cells fuse, nothing passes • Gap junction- spot-like junction occurring anywhere made of hollow cylinders of protein, lets small molecules pass

15. Desomosomes Pg 80

16. Features of the Basal Surface of Epithelium • Basement membrane = Sheet between the epithelial and connective tissue layers • Attaches epithelium to connective tissue below • Basal lamina: thin, non-cellular, supportive sheet Made of proteins • Superficial layer • Acts as a selective filter • Assists epithelial cell regeneration by moving new cells • Reticular fiber layer • Deeper layer • Support

17. Name that Epithelial Feature!(name and location on cell) 3 3 • Cilia • Tight junction • Microvilli • Basement membrane 1 1 2 2 4 4

18. Glands: epithelial cells that make and secrete a water-based substance w/proteins • Exocrine Glands • Secrete substance onto body surface or into body cavity • Have ducts (simple vs. compound) • Unicellular (goblet cells) or Multicellular (tubular, alveolar, tubuloalveolar) • (ex) salivary, mammary, pancreas, liver Goblet cell in small intestine

19. Glands: epithelial cells that make and secrete a water-based substance w/proteins • Endocrine Glands • Secrete product into blood stream • Either stored in secretory cells or in follicle surrounded by secretory cells • Hormones travel to target organ to increase response (excitatory) • No ducts • (ex) pancreas, adrenal, pituitary, thyroid Thyroid gland: hormone in follicles (F) released into capillaries (C)

20. 4 Types of Connective Tissue Connective Tissue Proper Cartilage Bone Tissue Blood

21. Connective Tissue (CT): most abundant and diverse tissue(tissue type #2) • Four Classes • Functions include connecting, storing & carrying nutrients, protection, fight infection • CT contains large amounts of non-living extracellular matrix • Some types vascularized • All CT originates from mesenchyme

22. 1) Connective Tissue Proper • Two kinds: Loose CT & Dense CT • Prototype: Loose Areolar Tissue • Underneath epithelial tissue • Functions • Support and bind to other tissue • Hold body fluids • Defends against infection • Stores nutrients as fat • Each function performed by different kind of fiber in tissue

23. Fibers in Connective Tissue • Fibers For Support • Reticular: form networks for structure & support (ex) cover capillaries • Collagen: strongest, most numerous, provide tensile strength (ex) dominant fiber in ligaments • Elastic: long + thin, stretch and retain shape (ex) dominant fiber in elastic cartilage

24. In Connective Tissue Proper • Fibroblasts: cells that produce all fibers in CT, produce + secrete protein subunits to make them, produce ground matrix • Interstitial (Tissue) Fluid: derived from blood in CT proper; medium for nutrients, waste + oxygen to travel to cells; found in ground matrix • Ground Matrix (substance): part of extra-cellular material that holds and absorbs interstitial fluid, jelly-like with sugar & protein molecules

25. Defense from Infection • Areolar tissue below epithelium is body’s first defense • Cells travel to CT in blood • Macrophages-eat foreign particles • Plasma cells-secrete antibodies, mark molecules for destruction • Mast cells-contain chemical mediators for inflammation response • White Blood Cells = neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils-fight infection • Ground substance + cell fibers-slow invading microorganisms

27. Specialized Loose CT Proper • Adipose tissue-loaded with adipocytes, highly vascularized, high metabolic activity • Insulates, produces energy, supports • (eg) in hypodermis under skin • Reticular CT-contains only reticular fibers • Forms caverns to hold free cells • (eg) bone marrow, holds blood cells • Forms internal “skeleton” of some organs • (eg) lymph nodes, spleen

28. Dense/Fibrous Connective Tissue • Contains more collagen • Can resist extremely strong pulling forces • Regular vs. Irregular • Regular-fibers run same direction, parallel to pull • (eg) fascia, tendons, ligaments • Irregular-fibers thicker, run in different directions • (eg) dermis, fibrous capsules at ends of bones Denseregular Denseirregular

37. Pg 128 Bone Anatomy: Compact bone • Compact bone: dense, external layer • Haversian system = osteon • long, cylindrical structures run parallel to long axis of bone • within each osteon, groups of concentric tubes (lamella) • Lamella: layer of bone matrix all fibers run in same direction • fibers on each lamella runs in opposite directions to one near it • Haversian canal-runs through center of osteon, contain blood vessels and nerves • Interstitial Lamella- pieces of bone matrix between osteon • Osteocytes between osteons

38. Haversian System = Osteon osteon lamella Pg 132 lamella Pg 131

39. Bone Anatomy: Spongy bone • Spongy bone (cancellous bone): internal layer • Trabeculae: small, needle-like pieces of bone form honeycomb • each made of several layers of lamellae + osteocytes • no canal for vessels • space filled with bone marrow • not as dense, no direct stress at bone’s center Pg 130
