  1. The Human Body Chapter 1

  2. Overview • Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of body parts and how they relate to each other. • Gross anatomy • Microscopic anatomy • Physiology is the study of how the organs and systems of the body work. • Neurophysiology • Cardiac physiology http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cwB_XD7bMkg/TyPQ1UbSntI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/_xgozA3LdGU/s1600/anatomy.jpg

  3. Levels of Structural Organization pg - 3 • The human body is a well organized unit built from the arrangements of atoms into more complex structures. • The cell is the basic living unit while the atom is the smallest unit of matter. An atom is not alive but a cell is. http://academic.kellogg.edu/herbrandsonc/bio201_mckinley/chapte1.jpg

  4. The Body’s Organ Systems – pg 5

  5. Organ System Overview • Cardiovascular • Transports materials in bodyvia blood pumped by heart • Oxygen • Carbon dioxide • Nutrients • Wastes Figure 1.2f

  6. Organ System Overview • Lymphatic • Returns fluids to blood vessels • Disposes of debris • Involved in immunity Figure 1.2g

  7. Organ System Overview • Respiratory • Keeps blood supplied with oxygen • Removes carbon dioxide Figure 1.2h

  8. Organ System Overview • Digestive • Breaks down food • Allows for nutrient absorption into blood • Eliminates indigestible material Figure 1.2i

  9. Organ System Overview • The integumentary system comprises the skin, hair and nails. • It is the largest organ of the human body. • It serves a number of functions, including temperature regulation, protection against UV rays, waste excretion and acting as a physical barrier. http://www.sciencephoto.com/image/392575/530wm/C0096565-Integumentary_system,_artwork-SPL.jpg

  10. Organ System Overview • Urinary • Eliminates nitrogenous wastes • Maintains acid – base balance • Regulates water and electrolytes Figure 1.2j

  11. Organ System Overview • Reproductive • Production of offspring Figure 1.2k

  12. Necessary Life Functions • Humans must be able to perform certain processes in order to stay alive. • The necessary life functions are: • Be well isolated from the environment. Integumentary system • Be able to move. Muscular system. • Be able to respond to the environment. Nervous system • Be able to obtain nutrients from food. Digestive system • Be able to maintain a stable internal environment called homeostasis through metabolism (chemical reactions in the body). Endocrine system • Be able to rid the body or all metabolic wastes. Excretory system (respiration, digestion, integumentary, and urinary systems). • Be able to grow and develop • Be able to reproduce. Reproductive system.

  13. What Will You Need to Survive? • Nutrients • Chemicals for energy and cell building • Includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals • Oxygen • Required for chemical reactions • Water • 60–80% of body weight • Provides for metabolic reaction • Stable body temperature • Atmospheric pressure must be appropriate

  14. Homeostasis • Maintenance of a stable internal environment = a dynamic state of equilibrium • Homeostasis must be maintained for normal body functioning and to sustain life • Homeostatic imbalance – a disturbance in homeostasis resulting in disease

  15. Organ Systems Work Together to Maintain Homeostasis - Pg 8 • The integumentary system protects the body from the environment. • The digestive system provides the nutrients we need. • The circulatory system moves oxygen and nutrients through the body. • The excretory systems rid the body of metabolic wastes. http://renz.fosterscience.com/a&p/Chapt1/Chapter1TheHumanBodyAnOrientation_files/slide0045_image011.jpg

  16. Homeostasis Control Pg 10 • Communication within the body is critical for survival. • The body communicates through neural and hormonal control systems. • The body has a specific series of steps it follows when maintaining balance. • Reception • Stimulus, something you react to, produces a change in the body’s balance usually at a sensory receptor. • Sends the message sent to the control center (brain). • Control center – brain – • Determines set point • Analyzes information • Determines appropriate response • Effector structure – will provide the means for the carrying out of the response. structure which will carry out the response.

  17. Feedback Inhibition • Feedback inhibition is an “on-off” system to control metabolism by using the product or response to turn on or turn off the pathway. • It is similar to the thermostat of your air conditioner. • There are two types of feedback methods: • Negative feedback • Positive feedback • The brain controls the many of the actions and specifically the hypothalamus.

  18. Negative Feedback Inhibition • Most feedback inhibition mechanisms of the body are negative feedback. • How does it work? • If the body needs a substance, it will make it until it has enough. • Once it has enough, the end-product substance will shut down the first enzyme used to begin the substance making pathway.

  19. Positive Feedback Inhibition • Positive feedback inhibition is also known as the “more-more” system. • How does it work? • The more you stimulate the body the more it will produce and respond. • The best example is childbirth. http://www.mattk.com/images_mk/homeostasis-pregnancy-positive-feedback.jpg

  20. Anatomical Position • Anatomical position is the specific position that exist so that we can describe and reference where specific structures are. • We assume that the human body is at anatomical position when giving any description. • Arm are at the sides with the palms up/forward. • Stand and show anatomical position. http://www.sciencephoto.com/image/392527/530wm/C0096507-Anatomical_position,_artwork-SPL.jpg

  21. Reference Terms pg 12-13 • When referring to a part of the body we will use regional and directional terms. • Regional terms • Refer to landmarks of the body. There are two areas: • Anterior/ventral body landmarks – the front of your body • Posterior/dorsal body landmarks – the back of your body

  22. Anterior Terms http://classroom.sdmesa.edu/eschmid/F01.04.L.150.jpg

  23. Posterior Terms http://classroom.sdmesa.edu/eschmid/F01.04.L.150.jpg

  24. Orientation and Directional Terms Table 1.1

  25. Orientation and Directional Terms Table 1.1 (cont)

  26. Body Planes • Sectioning the body along different planes will result in very different views of the same area. • We can use these views to make diagnosis of certain physical conditions. Figure 1.6

  27. Body Cavities Figure 1.7

  28. Abdominopelvic Quadrants • Because of the many important organs located in the abdominal cavity, we have isolated the cavity into 4 quadrants and 9 regions. • Quadrants • Right upper and lower quadrant • Left upper and lower quadrant Figure 1.8a

  29. Abdominopelvic Regions • From the umbilical region you will find • Above – right hypochondriac, epigastric, and left hypochondriac regions. • Below – right iliac, hypogastric, left iliac regions. • Left and right of the umbilical region you find the right and left lumbar region. Figure 1.8b
