Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 37 12th Edition. Pearson.  Responsiveness The nervous system takes the major role for responsiveness - Because nerve cells are highly responsive and can communicate rapidly with each other via electrical impulses. However, all body cells are responsive to some extent. The boby nervous system Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 38 12th Edition. Pearson.  Digestion Digestion is the process of breaking-down ingested food into simple molecules that can then be absorbed into the blood. The nutrient-rich blood is then distributed to all body cells by the cardiovascular system, where body cells use these nutrients. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 39 12th Edition. Pearson.  Metabolism A broad term that refers to all chemical reactions that occur within body cells. ▪ It includes: Breaking down complex substances into simpler building blocks (breakdown of glucose) Making larger structures from smaller ones (synthesis of glucagon) Using nutrients and oxygen to produce molecules of Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP) (the energy-rich molecules that power cellular activities). Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 40  Metabolism ▪ Metabolism depends on the digestive system to make nutrients and on respiratory system to make oxygen available to the blood and on the cardiovascular system to distribute these needed substances throughout the body. Metabolism is regulated chiefly by hormones secreted by the glands of the endocrine system. 41 Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition.

Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 43 12th Edition. Pearson.  Reproduction Organismal – Reproduction of the human organism is the task of the organs of the reproductive system, which produce sperm and eggs. When a sperm unites with an egg, a fertilized egg forms, which then develops into a baby within the mother’s body. The function of the reproductive system is regulated by hormones of the endocrine system. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 44 12th Edition. Pearson.  Growth Growth is an increase in size, usually accomplished by an increase in the number of cells. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 45 12th Edition. Pearson.  Growth The scientific term for growth means “constructive activities must occur at a faster rate than destructive activities”.

Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 50 12th Edition. Pearson.  Nutrients Carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats are all vital in maintaining a healthy body. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 51 12th Edition. Pearson.  Oxygen Oxygen is needed for chemical reactions that release energy from nutrients Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 52 12th Edition. Pearson.  Oxygen Oxygen is made available to the blood and body cells by the cooperative efforts of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 53 12th Edition. Pearson.  Water Water accounts for 60 to 80 percent of body weight, depending on the age of the individual. It is the single most abundant chemical substance in the body and provides the fluid base for body secretions (sweat) and excretions (urine). Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 54 12th Edition. Pearson.  Water We obtain water chiefly from ingested foods or liquids, and we lose it by evaporation from the lungs and skin and in body excretions. Sweat Water Urine Evaporation from Lung Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 55 12th Edition. Pearson.  Appropriate Temperature If chemical reactions are to continue at life sustaining levels, normal body temperature must be maintained. As body temperature drops below 37°C, metabolic reactions become slower and slower and finally stop. When body temperature is too high, chemical reactions proceed too rapidly, and body proteins begin to break down. At either extreme, death occurs. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 56 12th Edition. Pearson.  Appropriate Temperature Most body heat is generated by the activity of the skeletal muscles and cool down via blood circulating close to the skin surface or by the evaporation of sweat. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 57 12th Edition. Pearson.  Appropriate Atmospheric Pressure The force exerted on the surface of the body by the weight of air is referred to as atmospheric pressure. Higher Surface Area Lower Surface Area Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 58 12th Edition. Pearson.  Appropriate Atmospheric Pressure Breathing and the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs depend on appropriate atmospheric pressure. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 59 12th Edition. Pearson.  Survival Needs ▪ Just the presence of these survival factors is not sufficient to maintain life. ▪ They must be present in appropriate amounts; excesses and deficits may be equally harmful. (eg, the food ingested must be of high quality and in proper amounts; otherwise, nutritional disease, obesity, or starvation is likely) Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020.

Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 61 12th Edition. Pearson. An Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Learning Objectives Define homeostasis, and explain its importance. Describe components of homeostatic control systems Feedback mechanisms Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 62 12th Edition. Pearson.  homeostasis The word of homeostasis describes the body’s ability to maintain the body internal conditions relatively within the normal limits (eg, body temperature which is ranges between 36.1 °C to 37.2 °C), even though the external conditions are continuously changing (eg, fever of 38 °C or higher). Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 63  Homeostasis The body maintains homeostasis when all of its needs are being adequately met and all of its organ systems are working together. Virtually every organ helps maintain homeostasis. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 64  Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 65 12th Edition. Pearson. An Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Learning Objectives Define homeostasis, and explain its importance. Describe components of homeostatic control systems Feedback mechanisms Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 66 12th Edition. Pearson.  Components of Homeostasic Control Systems All homeostatic control mechanisms have three components: (1) a receptor that monitors the environmental changes (stimuli) and (2) a control center that assesses those changes and produces a response by activating (3) the effector. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 67  Components of Homeostasic Control Systems 1) The receptor monitors the change (stimulus) in the environment and sends information (input) to the control center. It sends information (input) along the afferent pathway to the control center. 2) The control center analyzes the information it receives and then determines the appropriate response or course of action. Information flows from the control center to the effector along the efferent pathway. 3) the effector, conveys the control center’s response (out-put) to the stimulus. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 68 An Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Learning Objectives Define homeostasis, and explain its importance. Describe components of homeostatic control systems Feedback mechanisms Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 69 12th Edition. Pearson. Feedback mechanism The results of the homeostatic response (feedback) influence the stimulus (the original change), either by reducing the amount of change (negative feedback), so that the whole control mechanism is shut off; or by increasing the amount of change (positive feedback), so that the reaction continues at an even faster rate Most homeostatic control mechanisms are negative feedback mechanisms. They reduce the amount of stimulus, ultimately leading to (stimulus; Glucose in blood) the shutdown of the entire control mechanism. Examples include the reduction of heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, or the release of hormones. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 70 Negative Feedback mechanism 71 Negative Feedback mechanism Negative Feedback - Body Cooling: Stimulus: The initial stimulus is an increase in the body's core temperature due to external factors such as hot weather or physical activity. Response: In response to the increase in body temperature, the body initiates a cooling process. Effect: The cooling process involves several responses: The body's sweat glands are activated, leading to the production and secretion of sweat onto the skin's surface. As sweat evaporates, it absorbs heat energy from the body, cooling it down. Blood vessels near the skin's surface dilate (vasodilation), allowing more blood to flow near the skin, where heat can be released. The respiratory rate may increase, promoting heat loss through exhalation. As a result of these responses, the body's core temperature decreases, returning to the normal set point. This cooling mechanism is a form of negative feedback. When the body temperature reaches the desired range, the feedback loop shuts off, helping to maintain the body's temperature within the optimal range for its proper functioning. 72 Negative Feedback mechanism 73  Negative Feedback mechanism Negative Feedback- Release of Insulin: Stimulus: After consuming a meal containing carbohydrates, blood sugar levels rise due to glucose formation during digestion. Response: The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream in response to high blood sugar levels. Effect: Insulin signals body cells to absorb glucose from the bloodstream, reducing blood sugar levels. Result: As a result, blood sugar levels decrease, the initial stimulus (high blood sugar) is reduced and returns to the normal range. The feedback loop shuts off. When blood sugar reaches the desired level, the pancreas reduces insulin release, maintaining blood sugar within the optimal range. Negative Feedback- Release of Glucagon: Stimulus: Low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Response: The pancreas releases glucagon. Effect: Glucagon signals the liver to break down stored glycogen into glucose and release it into the bloodstream, raising blood sugar levels. Result: As blood sugar levels rise, the initial stimulus (low blood sugar) is reduced, and the feedback loop shuts off. This helps maintain blood sugar levels within a narrow, optimal range. 74  Positive Feedback Mechanisms Positive feedback (rare); Increases the amount of change (stimulus), so that the reaction continues at an even faster rate. Positive Feedback - Oxytocin Release: Stimulus: The initial stimulus is the contraction of uterine muscles during labor. Response: In response to uterine contractions, the hormone oxytocin is released. Effect: Oxytocin intensifies and speeds up contractions, leading to stronger muscle contractions in the uterus. This, in turn, causes more oxytocin to be released. The cycle continues, with oxytocin levels and contractions amplifying each other, until the baby is born. The birth of the baby ends the release of oxytocin, terminating the positive feedback mechanism. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. 75 Pearson.  Positive Feedback Mechanisms Positive feedback (rare); Increases the amount of change (stimulus), so that the reaction continues at an even faster rate. Positive Feedback - Blood Clotting: Stimulus: The initial stimulus is an increase in platelets at the injury site, triggered by blood vessel injury or damage. Response: In response to the increase in platelets, the body initiates a blood clotting process. Effect: The blood clotting process involves the activation of clotting factors (chemicals), which, in turn, further increase platelet aggregation at the injury site. As the clot forms, it releases more clotting factors, amplifying the increase in platelets and enhancing the clotting process. This positive feedback loop continues until a stable blood clot is formed, effectively sealing the injury and preventing excessive bleeding. Once the injury is sufficiently sealed and the clot is stable, the clotting process is terminated. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. 76 Pearson.  Homeostatic imbalance Homeostasis is so important that most diseases can be regarded as being the result of its disturbance, a condition called homeostatic imbalance. Conditions and diseases due to homeostatic imbalance include: Diabetes: Diabetes is characterized by the body's inability to regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels properly. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, disrupting glucose regulation. In type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): When the body struggles to maintain the balance of blood pressure within a healthy range, it can lead to hypertension. Persistent high blood pressure can strain the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Hyperthyroidism: An overactive thyroid gland can result in excessive production of thyroid hormones, leading to symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, weight loss, and heat intolerance. This condition disrupts the body's metabolic homeostasis. Hypothyroidism: Conversely, an underactive thyroid gland can lead to insufficient thyroid hormone production, causing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and cold intolerance. This condition disrupts the metabolic balance. 77 Elderly are at higher risk of Homeostatic imbalance As we age, our body organs that are responsible to maintain homeostatic balance, become less efficient in regulating the body internal conditions. These events place us at an increasing risk for illness and produce the changes we associate with aging. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020.

Use proper anatomical terminology to describe body directions, body landmarks (regions), and body planes. Locate the major body cavities, and list the chief organs in each cavity. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 102 12th Edition. Pearson.  Body Cavities ▪ Two sets of internal body cavities that provide different degrees of protection to the organs within them: Dorsal (posterior) Body Cavity Ventral (anterior) Body Cavity Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 103  Dorsal Body Cavities Dorsal Body Cavity has two continuous subdivisions: ▪ The cranial cavity = space inside the bony skull (houses the brain). ▪ The spinal cavity extends from the cranial cavity nearly to the end of the vertebral column (houses the spinal cord). Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 104  Ventral Body Cavities Ventral Body Cavity is much larger than the dorsal cavity. It contains all the structures within the chest and abdomen (the visceral organs). The dome-shaped muscle, the diaphragm, divide the ventral body cavity into superior thoracic cavity and inferior abdominophelvic cavity. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 105  The Thoracic Cavity The organs in the thoracic cavity (lungs, heart, and others) are somewhat protected by the rib cage. A central region called the mediastinum houses the heart, trachea, and several other visceral organs. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 106  The Abdomino-pelvic Cavity ▪ The abdominopelvic cavity subdivided into: - Abdominal cavity, containing the stomach, liver, intestines, and other organs - Pelvic cavity, with the reproductive organs, bladder, and rectum. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 107  Areas of Ventral Body Cavities Areas of the abdominopelvic cavity: ▪ the abdominopelvic cavity can be divided into four equal regions called quadrants. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 108  Ventral Body Cavities Areas of the abdominopelvic cavity: ▪ Another system divides the abdominopelvic cavity into nine separate regions by four planes. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 109  Other Body Cavities In addition to the large closed body cavities, there are several smaller body cavities. Most are in the head and open to the body exterior. Oral cavity and digestive cavity The oral cavity, or the mouth, contains the teeth and tongue. This cavity is part of and continuous with the digestive organs, which open to the exterior at the anus. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition. Pearson. 110  Other Body Cavities Nasal cavity Located within and posterior to the nose, the nasal cavity is part of the respiratory system. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020.

Pearson. Difference between secretion and excretion Secretion is the process of cells releasing substances they've synthesized or stored to serve various functions such as cooling the body, providing lubrication, and aiding digestion. Examples include sweat, mucus, saliva, and hormones. Excretion, on the other hand, involves eliminating waste, toxins, or excess substances from the body to maintain internal balance. This process includes the removal of urine, carbon dioxide, and solid waste. Marieb, E.N. and Keller, S.M., 2020. Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, 115 12th Edition.
