Study Notes
Human Body Overview
- The human body is studied through anatomy and physiology.
- Anatomy investigates the body's structure (gross and microscopic).
- Gross anatomy studies structures without a microscope.
- Microscopic anatomy studies structures that require a microscope.
- Physiology investigates the processes or functions of living things.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Students will identify the organizational hierarchy of the human body.
- Students will identify the eleven different body systems and how they interact.
- Students will identify and explain the characteristics of life.
- Students will explain homeostasis and feedback loops.
- Students will identify body regions and explain directional terms, anatomical positions.
Anatomical Imaging Techniques
- X-ray uses electromagnetic waves.
- Ultrasound uses sound waves.
- Computed Tomography (CT) uses computer-analyzed X-ray images.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses radio waves.
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) uses radioactively labeled glucose.
Physiology Breakdown
- Physiology considers the operations of specific organ systems.
- Cell physiology examines cell processes.
- Systemic physiology studies organ system functions.
- Neurophysiology focuses on the nervous system.
- Cardiovascular physiology studies the circulatory system.
Anatomy and Physiology Interdependence
- Anatomy and physiology are inseparable.
- Structure (anatomy) dictates function (physiology).
- Pathology studies structural and functional changes due to disease.
- Exercise physiology examines body changes during exercise.
Organizational Hierarchy
- Chemical level: Atoms combine to form molecules.
- Cell level: Cells are made up of molecules.
- Tissue level: Tissues consist of similar cell types.
- Organ level: Organs are made up of different tissue types.
- Organ system level: Organ systems consist of organs that work together.
- Organism level: The human organism comprises many organ systems.
Organ Systems of the Human Body
- Integumentary system
- Skeletal system
- Muscular system
- Lymphatic system
- Respiratory system
- Digestive system
- Nervous system
- Cardiovascular system
- Endocrine system
- Reproductive system (Male and Female)
- Urinary system
Integumentary System
- Provides protection from injury, regulates temperature, prevents water loss, and aids in vitamin D production.
- Consists of skin, hair, nails, and sweat glands.
Skeletal System
- Provides protection and support for the body.
- Allows body movements, produces blood cells, and stores minerals and fat.
- Consists of 206 bones, cartilages, ligaments, and joints.
Muscular System
- Provides body movements, maintains posture, and generates body heat.
- Consists of muscles and tendons.
Lymphatic System
- Removes foreign substances from the blood and lymph.
- Combats disease, maintains tissue fluid balance, and absorbs fats from the digestive tract.
- Consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphatic organs.
Respiratory System
- Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and air.
- Regulates blood pH.
- Consists of the lungs and respiratory passages (pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles).
Digestive System
- Chemically and mechanically digests food.
- Absorbs nutrients and eliminates wastes.
- Consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, large intestines, colon, anus, and accessory organs.
Nervous System
- Detects sensations, controls movements, controls physiological processes, and controls intellectual functions.
- Consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors.
Endocrine System
- Controls metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
- Consists of glands: hypothalamus, pituitary, thymus, thyroid, pancreas, and gonads.
Cardiovascular System
- Transports nutrients, transports waste, transports gases, transports hormones, regulates body temperature, and contributes to immunity.
- Consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
Urinary System
- Removes waste products from the blood.
- Regulates blood pH, regulates ion balance, and maintains water balance.
- Consists of kidneys, urinary bladder, ureters, and urethra.
Female Reproductive System
- Produces oocytes (eggs), is the site of fertilization and fetal development, produces milk for newborns, and produces hormones that influence sexual function and behaviors.
- Consists of ovaries, vagina, uterus, and mammary glands.
Male Reproductive System
- Produces and transfers sperm cells to the female.
- Produces hormones that influence sexual functions and behaviors.
- Consists of testes, accessory structures, ducts, and penis.
Homeostasis and Negative Feedback
- Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment.
- Variables fluctuate around a set point to maintain a normal range of values.
- Negative feedback counteracts a change in a variable to help maintain homeostasis.
- Components include stimulus, receptor, control center, effector, response.
Positive Feedback
- Positive feedback enhances an initial stimulus, thus causing a variable to continue in the same direction.
- Positive feedback often controls infrequent events.
- An example is blood clotting.
Directional Terms and Body Regions
- Anatomical position: Body erect, feet together, palms forward, face forward.
- Directional terms: Superior/inferior, medial/lateral, proximal/distal, superficial/deep, anterior/posterior.
- Body regions: Regional, quadrant, and cavity descriptions of specific areas of the body.
Body Cavities
- Dorsal body cavity protects the nervous system. Contains cranial and vertebral cavities.
- Ventral body cavity houses the internal organs. Contains thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
- Thoracic cavity: Contains the pleural cavities, pericardial cavity, and mediastinum.
- Abdominopelvic cavity: Contains abdominal and pelvic cavities.
