Unit 1: Introduction to P&A

1. Unit 1: Introduction to P&A • Anatomy & Physiology A. Anatomy - “structure” (morphology) 1.Definition: branch of science that deals with the structure of body parts. B. Physiology – “function” 1.Definition: branch of science that deals with the function of body parts.

2. C. Structure & function always relate 1.Example: Arteries have very muscular walls to adequately pump blood to all parts of body.

3. Homeostasis • A. Defintion: The tendency of the body to maintain a constant internal environment. • B. In order to survive, the body needs to remain at homeostasis. • C. Homeostasis is regulated by body systems.

4. 1. Negative Feedback a.Definition: A system which maintains deviations in a normal range. a.Example: Blood pressure- If blood pressure goes up, negative feedback slows heart to return it to normal.

5. 2. Positive Feedback a.Definition: A system which encourages deviations from normal ranges (homeostasis) a.Example: Labor during pregnancy. The woman’s body is taken farther from normal (homeostasis) to achieve a goal.

31. Chemistry of Life • A. Atomic Structure • 1. Nucleus • --most massive • --houses proton and neutron • 2. Proton • -- (+) Positive charged • 3. Neutrons • --Neutral

32. 4. Electrons --(-) charged --located in energy level shells/ clouds around nucleus 5. Energy levels --levels/orbits around nucleus that hold e- of certain energy --each level holds specific number of e- (1:2, 2:8, 3:18)

33. 6. Proton & electron # = in balanced elements 7. Neutron # = mass number – atomic number 8. Mass # = proton # + neutron # 9. Atomic # = proton #

34. 10. Ion Definition: Element that has lost or gained e- and therefore received a charge. a. Importantto body Example:Ca+ = bones, teeth, blood clotting. Fe+: Red blood cell function/formation

46. Cellular Transport • *In order for the body to maintain homeostasis, chemicals/substances/ions constantly pass through cell membranes. • A. Passive Transport • 1. Defintion: Movement of substances across cell membrane from HIGH concentration to LOW concentration requiring no energy

47. 2. Types a. Diffusion: movement of substances from high to low concentration example: O2 from air diffuse into blood and CO2 to air b. Facilitated Diffusion: diffusion with aid of a carrier molecule in cell membrane “bussers” example: glucose into cells

48. C. Osmosis: movement of WATER across membrane from high to low concentration 1. cells need EXACTLY right amount of watery environment or they will shrink/swell

49. Types of Osmosis 1. Hypertonic – Hyper=more a. More water than needed in the cell, so net water LEAVES cell to reach homeostasis b. cell then SHRINKS 2. Hypotonic – Hypo=less a. Less water than needed in the cell, so water ENTERS cell to reach homeostasis b. cell then SWELLS 3. Isotonic a. Homeostasis is reached

50. d. Filtration 1. movement of substances across cell membrane due to pressure 2. ex: blood pressure forces water out of capillaries but proteins are left in.
