# TEACH Lesson Plan Manual for Herlihy's The Human Body in Health and Illness 6th Edition - Chapter 1: Introduction to the Human Body ## Lesson 1.1: Introduction to the Human Body 1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology. 2. List the levels of organization of the human body. 3. Describe the 12 major organ systems. 4. Define homeostasis. 5. Describe the anatomical position. 6. List common terms used for relative positions of the body. 7. Describe the three major planes of the body. 8. List anatomical terms for quadrants and regions of the body. 9. Describe the major cavities of the body. ## Anatomy and Physiology - Anatomy: The branch of science that studies the structure of the body - Physiology: The branch of science that describes how the body functions - Structure and function are closely related ## The Body's Levels of Organization - Organization from simple to complex: - Atoms - Molecules - Cells - Tissues - Organs - Organ systems - Human organism ## Major Organ Systems - Integumentary - Skeletal - Muscular - Nervous - Endocrine - Circulatory - Lymphatic - Immune - Respiratory - Digestive - Urinary - Reproductive ## Homeostasis: Staying the Same - Homeostasis: The body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment in response to a changing environment - Homeostatic mechanisms help maintain homeostasis - Homeostatic imbalance is associated with various disorders ## Anatomical Position - Standing erect - Face forward - Arms at sides - Toes and palms directed forward ## Relative Positions - Pairs of directional terms: - Superior and inferior - Anterior and posterior - Medial and lateral - Proximal and distal - Superficial and deep - Central and peripheral ## Planes and Sections of the Body - Sagittal plane divides the body lengthwise into right and left portions - Frontal plane divides the body into anterior and posterior portions - Transverse plane divides the body horizontally into upper and lower portions ## Regional Terms - **Cranial**: The head - **Cephalic**: The head region - **Orbital**: The eyes - **Oral**: The mouth - **Buccal**: The cheeks - **Cervical**: The neck - **Sternal**: The breastbone - **Axillary**: The armpits - **Brachial**: The arm - **Antecubital**: The front of the elbow - **Inguinal**: The groin - **Femoral**: The thigh - **Popliteal**: Behind the knee - **Pedal**: The foot - **Plantar**: The sole of the foot - **Dorsal**: The back - **Occipital**: The back of the head - **Deltoid**: The shoulder - **Scapular**: The shoulder blade - **Lumbar**: The lower back - **Gluteal**: The buttocks - **Caudal**: The tailbone region - **Other**: - **Abdominal**: The abdomen - **Flank**: The side of the abdomen - **Umbilical**: The navel - **Pubic**: The pubis - **Patellar**: The kneecap - **Digital**: The fingers or toes ## Cavities of the Body - **Dorsal cavity**: - Cranial cavity: Contains the brain. - Spinal (vertebral) cavity: Contains the spinal cord. - **Ventral cavity**: - Thoracic cavity: Contains the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels. - Pleural cavities: Surround the lungs. - Mediastinum: The space between the lungs that contains the heart, trachea, esophagus, and other structures. - Abdominopelvic cavity: Contains the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, and reproductive organs. - Abdominal cavity: Upper part of the abdominopelvic cavity. - Pelvic cavity: Lower part of the abdominopelvic cavity. ## Cavities of the Body, Cont'd - Divisions of the abdominopelvic cavity: - Four quadrants: - Right upper quadrant - Left upper quadrant - Right lower quadrant - Left lower quadrant - Nine regions: - Right hypochondriac region - Epigastric region - Left hypochondriac region - Right lumbar region - Umbilical region - Left lumbar region - Right iliac region - Hypogastric region - Left iliac region ## Questions?
