  2. An Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy = the study of the structure and shape of the body. Gross Anatomy = large, easily observable structures Microscopic Anatomy = small structures requiring microscopes or magnifying instruments to see campus.udayton.edu

  3. An Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Physiology = the study of how the body functions. Neurophysiology = study of the nervous system Cardiac Physiology = study of the heart psdfan.com

  4. An Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy Physiology The anatomy of a part of the body is directly related to its physiology. For example, the anatomy of your eye includes light receptors. The physiology of your eye is to receive light. blog.makezine.com

  5. Levels of Structural Organization

  6. Levels of Structural Organization Fig 1.1 Levels of structural complexity. (p3) Levels of Organization Practice: http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/esp/2002_general/Esp/folder_structure/le/m1/s3/lem1s3_3.htm

  7. Levels of Structural Organization IntegumentarySystem = external covering of the body (or skin). • Physiology: • waterproofs the body • cushions and protects deeper tissues • excretes salts and urea as perspiration • helps regulate body temperature • location of temperature, pressure, and pain receptors • synthesizes vitamin D deafjoke.tv

  8. Levels of Structural Organization SkeletalSystem = bones, cartilages, ligaments, and joints. • Physiology: • supports the body • protects vital organs • stores minerals • provides a framework for skeletal muscles • location of hematopoiesis (formation of blood cells) brothersoft.com

  9. Levels of Structural Organization MuscularSystem = skeletal muscles. • Physiology: • contract to provide movement • provides strength in movement
