Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy: investigates body structure the term means to dissect Physiology: investigates processes and functions Human Physiology: studies the human organism Systemic Physiology: studies body organ-systems Cellular Physiology: studies body cells Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC.

Chemical: smallest level atoms, chemical bonds, molecules 2. Cellular: cells: basic units of life compartments and organelles examples of organelles: mitochondria, nucleus Figure 1.1 Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved.

Tissues: group of cells with similar structure and function plus extracellular substances they release four broad types: Epithelial Connective Muscular Nervous Figure 1.1 Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC.

Organs: two or more tissue types acting together to perform function(s) Examples: stomach, heart, liver, ovary, bladder, kidney Figure 1.1 Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved.

All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 14 Characteristics of Life 2 Growth: can increase in size size of cells, groups of cells, extracellular materials Development: changes in form and size changes in cell structure and function from generalized to specialized—differentiation Reproduction: formation of new cells or new organisms generation of new individuals tissue repair Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC.

All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 16 Homeostasis 2 Normal range: normal extent of increase or decrease around a set point Set point: normal, or average value of a variable Over time, body temperature fluctuates around a set point Figure 1.4a Access the text alternative for slide images. Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 17 Homeostasis 3 Set points for some variables can be temporarily adjusted depending on body activities, as needed: Examples Common cause of change body temperature fever heart rate, blood pressure exercise respiratory rate Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 18 Homeostasis 4 Negative feedback is the main mechanism used homeostatic regulation. A negative feedback response involves: detection: of deviation away from set point and correction: reversal of deviation toward set point and normal range Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved. No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 19 Homeostasis 5 The components of feedback: 1. Receptor: detects changes in variable 2. Control center: receives receptor signal establishes set point sends signal to effector 3. Effector: directly causes change in variable Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC. All rights reserved.

No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw Hill LLC. 23 Homeostasis 8 Positive feedback mechanisms occur when the initial stimulus further stimulates the response system response causes progressive deviation away from set point, outside of normal range not directly used for homeostasis some positive feedback occurs under normal conditions Example: childbirth generally associated with injury, disease negative feedback mechanisms unable to maintain homeostasis Copyright 2022 © McGraw Hill LLC.
