  1. The Human Body: An Orientation 1

  2. ANATOMY - the study of the structures of an organism A. Gross Anatomy - structures as seen by unaided eye B. Histology ("tissues" "to study") - structures that can be seen with the microscope such as cells and tissues 1. Cytology - study of cell structure/function C. Developmental Anatomy - study of the anatomy of the developing organism 1. Embryology - fertilization to third month of fetus D. Systemic Anatomy - study of individual organ system E. Regional Anatomy - study of structures in particular area F. Pathology ("disease" "to study") - study of changes in structure due to disease/injury

  3. Physiology Focuses on the functions of the body, often at the cellular or molecular level • Renal physiology – kidney function • Neurophysiology – workings of the nervous system • Cardiovascular physiology – operation of the heart and blood vessels

  4. Principle of Complementarity A. Anatomy - study of structure Physiology - study of function B. Structure determines Function Function depends upon Structure C. Charles Darwin- "Origin of the Species" (1858) Changes in structure affect function: basis of evolution of all organisms

  5. Levels of Organization of Organisms A. atoms (elements of periodic table) B. molecules (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acid) C. cells (epithelial, bone, muscle, nervous) D. tissues (epithelial, connective, muscular) E. organ (stomach, heart, brain, lung) F.organ system (muscular, skeletal, digestive, nervous) G. whole organism (each different species)

  6. Levels of Structural Organization Smooth muscle cell Molecules Cellular levelCells are made up of molecules 2 Atoms Chemical levelAtoms combine to form molecules 1 Smooth muscle tissue Heart Tissue levelTissues consist of similar types of cells 3 Cardiovascular system Blood vessels Epithelial tissue Smooth muscle tissue Blood vessel (organ) Organismal levelThe human organism is made up of many organ systems 6 Connective tissue Organ levelOrgans are made up of different types of tissues 4 Organ system levelOrgan systems consist of different organs that work together closely 5 Figure 1.1

  41. Organ Systems of the Body Integumentary system • Forms the external body covering • Composed of the skin, sweat glands, oil glands, hair, and nails • Protects deep tissues from injury and synthesizes vitamin D

  42. Organ Systems of the Body Skeletal system • Composed of bone, cartilage, and ligaments • Protects and supports body organs • Provides the framework for muscles • Site of blood cell formation • Stores minerals

  43. Organ Systems of the Body Muscular system • Composed of muscles and tendons • Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression • Maintains posture • Produces heat

  44. Organ Systems of the Body Nervous system • Composed of the brain, spinal column, and nerves • Is the fast-acting control system of the body • Responds to stimuli by activating muscles and glands
