4. Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomy
• Structures
• Shape of the body and its
parts
• Gross Anatomy can be seen
without a microscope
• Microscopic , too small to
be seen without a
microscope
Physiology
• How the body and its parts
work
• Structures determine the
function
• Functions are the processes
or jobs
7. Skeletal System
Structure
Bones, cartilage, ligaments
and joints
Function
• Support.
• Provides basis for
movement.
• Protection
• Hematopoiesis = Formation
of red blood cells happens
within long bones.
• Mineral storage.
8. Muscular System
Structure
Skeletal muscles. Although
muscle is found in other systems
Function
• Muscles contract
(shorten) and provide
movement.
• Support.
• Heat production
9. Cardiovascular System
Structure
Heart and blood vessels.
.
Function
• Uses blood as the carrier of
nutrients, wastes and
gasses
• Carries White Blood Cells
and chemicals that protect
the body
• Heart acts as a pump
10. Lymphatic / Immune System
Structure
Lymphatic vessels, Lymph nodes,
spleen tonsils, thymus, bone
marrow,
Function
• Recovers fluids for
tissue drainage
• Cleans the blood
• Houses cells that are
involved in immunity
11. Nervous System
Structure
Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory
receptors
Function
• Responds to
external and
internal signals
• Coordinates
activities of other
organ systems.
12. Endocrine System
Structure
Pituitary, Thyroid, Parathyroid,
Adrenals, Thymus, Pancreas,
Pineal, Ovary and Testes.
Function
• Directs long-term
changes using
hormones.
• Growth,
• Reproduction
• Food Use.
13. Integumentary System
Structure
Skin (largest organ) and
temperature, pressure and
pain receptors.
Function
• Protect,
• Cushion
• Waterproofs
• Excretes salt
and urea
• Regulates
temperature.
15. Digestive System
Structure
• oral cavity,
• esophagus
• stomach
• small
• large intestines
• rectum
• liver
• pancreas
Function
Processing food, absorption of
organic nutrients, minerals
vitamins and water
16. Urinary System
Structure
Kidneys, ureters, bladder,
urethra. Function
• Excretes nitrogen-
containing waste
(forms when protein
is broken down)
Urea and Uric Acid
• Maintains water and
salt balance
• Controls pH of the
blood
17. Reproductive System
Structure
• M=Testes
(produce sperm),
Scrotum, Penis
accessory glands
and duct system
• F=Ovary Produce
eggs), Uterine
tubes, Uterus,
Vagina
Function
Production of sex cells and
hormones to produce
offspring.
18. 8 Life Functions
• Boundaries: Inside is
separate from
outside…every cell has a
membrane.
• Movement: We move
and our food moves
through us.
• Responsiveness: Sense
changes and react.
• Digestion: Breaking down
of food to be absorbed by
blood.
• Metabolism: All chemical
reactions in the body.
Depends on the Digestive
and Respiratory systems
for nutrients and oxygen
but it is regulated by the
hormones of the
Endocrine system.
• Excretion: Removing
waste
• Reproduction:
Production of offspring
• Growth: Increase in size.
20. Negative Feedback Mechanisms
• Shuts off original
stimulus like home
thermostat.
• Our body has a lot of
these: Water,
temperature, sugar,
fight or flight, muscles
for balance. Constant
state of adjustment.
