3. An Introduction to the Human Body
• Anatomy
– science of structure
– relationships revealed by
dissection (cutting apart)
– imaging techniques
• Physiology
– science of body functions
– normal adult physiology is
studied in this class
– some genetic variations
4. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY DEFINED
• Anatomy
– the study of structure and the relationships
among structures.
• Subdivisions
– surface anatomy, gross anatomy, systemic
anatomy, regional anatomy, radiographic
anatomy, developmental
anatomy, embryology, cytology, and pathological
anatomy.
5. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY DEFINED
• Physiology
– the study of how body structures
function
• Subdivisions of physiology
include
– cell physiology, systems
physiology, pathophysiology, exerc
ise
physiology, neurophysiology, endo
crinology, cardiovascular
physiology, immunophysiology, re
spiratory physiology, renal
physiology, and reproductive
physiology
6. Structural Organization of Matter
1. Chemical Level
a. Atoms
(Proton, Neutron, electrons)
b. Molecules
(Two or more atoms joined together
by either covalent or ionic bonds)
Four biologically important organic
molecules in the human body
a. Proteins which are made
from
20 different Amino
Acids
7. Structural Organization of Matter

environment
12. •

13.
14. Organ Systems - Cardiovascular
system
• Components
– blood
– heart
– blood vessels
• Functions
– pumps blood

– regulates temperature, acid-base balance, and H2O
19. Organ Systems - Reproductive
system
• Components
– ovaries
– Testes
– associated structures
• Functions
– produce gametes
– hormone regulation of reproduction
20. 1.4: Characteristics of Life (10)
• Movement – change in position; motion
• Responsiveness – reaction to a change
• Growth – increase in body size; no change in
shape
• Reproduction – production of new organisms
and new cells
• Respiration – obtaining oxygen; removing
carbon dioxide; releasing energy from foods
• Differentiation – unspecialized to specialized
21. 1.5: Maintenance of Life
• Life depends on five (5) environmental
factors:
•
•
•
•
•
Water
Food
Oxygen
Heat
Pressure
22. Basic Life Processes
• Homeostasis
Equilibrium of the body’s internal environment
produced by the interaction of organ systems
and regulatory processes (feedback systems).
Homeostasis is a dynamic condition in response
to changing conditions.
The two body systems that largely control the
body’s homeostatic state:
1. Nervous system
2. Endocrine system
23. Control of Homeostasis
• Homeostasis is continually being disrupted by
– external stimuli
• intense heat, cold , and lack of oxygen
– internal stimuli
• psychological stresses
• exercise
• Disruptions are usually mild & temporary
• If homeostasis is not maintained, death may result
24.
25. Requirements of Organisms
• Water
•
- most abundant substance in body
•
- required for metabolic processes
•
- required for transport of substances
•
- regulates body temperature
• Food
•
- provides necessary nutrients
•
- supplies energy
•
- supplies raw materials
26. CONTROL OF HOMEOSTASIS
• Homeostatic imbalances occur because of disruptions from
the external or internal environments.
– Homeostasis is regulated by the nervous system and
endocrine system, acting together or independently.
– The nervous system detects changes and sends nerve
impulses to counteract the disruption.
– The endocrine system regulates homeostasis by secreting
hormones.
• Whereas nerve impulses cause rapid changes, hormones
usually work more slowly.
• Examples: CO2, O2, temperature, pH, blood pressure, …
27. Homeostatic Imbalances
• Disruption of homeostasis can lead to disease and death.
• Disorder is a general term for any change or abnormality of
function.
• Disease is a more specific term for an illness characterized by
a recognizable set of signs and symptoms.
– A local disease is one that affects one part or a limited
region of the body.
– A systemic disease affects either the entire body or several
parts.
28. Homeostatic Imbalances
• Disease is a more specific term for an illness characterized by
a recognizable set of signs and symptoms.
– Signs are objective changes that a clinician can observe
and measure; e.g., fever or rash.
– Symptoms are subjective changes in body functions that
are not apparent to an observer; e.g., headache or nausea.
• Diagnosis is the art of distinguishing one disease from
another or determining the nature of a disease; a diagnosis is
generally arrived at after the taking of a medical history and
the administration of a physical examination.
