ANATOMY (structure) Anatomy is the study of structures that make up the body and the relationship of these structures to one another. It is-the science of body structures and the relationships among them. It was first studied by dissection, the careful cutting apart of body structures to study their relationships. Anatomy came from the Greek words: Ana which means “up” and Temnein/temos/tomos which means “to cut”. That explains the history of its origin as scholars used cadavers and cut them up or dissected them to study the human body. i.pinimg.com You can do further research on the history of Anatomy. Anatomy is divided into many branches. Among these include the following: Branches 1. Regional anatomy is the study of specific regions of the body such as the head or chest. 2. Systemic anatomy is the study of structure of specific systems of the body such as the nervous or respiratory 3. Gross anatomy is the study of structures that can be examined without a microscope. 4. Microscopic anatomy is the study of structures with the aid of microscope 5. Developmental anatomy is the study of the complete development of an individual from fertilization to death. 6. Pathological anatomy is the study of structural changes (gross to microscopic) associated with path- disease) disease. 7. Histology is the study of microscopic structure of tissues. 8. Radiographic anatomy is the study of body structures that can be visualized with techniques such as x-rays, MRI, and CT scans. Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 2 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 9. Cytology is the study of cell. 10. Blanchology is the study of internal organs. 11. Embryology is the study of the first eight weeks of development after fertilization of a human egg These are among the selected branches of anatomy which are considered significant in the medical profession. However, you may do further research on other branches of anatomy. b. PHYSIOLOGY (function) is the science of body function. It is the study of how the body parts work. It comes from the Greek words Physis, which means “nature, origin” and Logos meaning “the science/study of”. Just like Anatomy, Physiology also has its own branches. Among these are the following, which are considered significant in the medical profession: Branches 1. Neurophysiology is the study of the functional properties of nerve cells. 2. Cardiovascular physiology is the study of functions of the heart and blood vessels. 3. Respiratory physiology study of the functions of the air passageways and lungs 4. Pathophysiology is the study of functional changes associated with disease and aging. You may read more on the different branches of physiology on the suggested references. Activity 1.

INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY LESSON 2. LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION OF THE HUMAN BODY Introduction of the Lesson and Presentation of Outcomes In this section you will learn about the different levels of organization that make up the human body. After studying the section, you must have: a. Identified at least 3 levels of organization of the human body and b. Compare and contrast at least 2 organizations of the human body. Warm-up Activity CHECK UP: As quickly and as honestly as you could, check the following boxes of statements that you believe you have knowledge of.  The six distinct levels of organization of the human body are: chemical, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, system, organism.  The simplest in the structural ladder are chemicals.  Small structure contained within a cell that performs one or more specific functions are organelles.  The cell is the basic structural and functional units of an organism.  Cells that group together are called tissues. Tissues have four basic types: epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous.  Organs are composed of two or more tissue types that together perform one or more common functions.  Organs that group together and perform related function is called system.  Organism is a living individual composed of different systems that work together. Central Activities Your exploration of the human body will extend from atoms and molecules to the whole person. From the smallest to the largest, six distinct levels of organization will help you to understand anatomy and physiology: the chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, system, and organismal levels of organization. i.pinimg.com Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 5 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY Just imagine, the levels of organization of a language—letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, and so on—can be compared to the levels of organization of the human body. What are the Distinct Levels of Organization of the Human body? They are as follows: 1. CHEMICAL. The simplest level of the structural ladder. It includes atoms, the smallest units of matter that participate in chemical reactions, and molecules, two or more atoms joined together. Certain atoms, such as carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), and sulfur (S), are essential for maintaining life. What are the two familiar molecules found in the body? Organelle. It is a small structure contained within a cell that performs one or more specific functions. Examples are your nucleus, ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum. You will know more about this when you study about the cells. i.pinimg.com 2. CELL. It is the basic structural and functional units of an organism that are composed of chemicals. Among the many kinds of cells in your body are muscle cells, nerve cells, and epithelial cells. You will know more about this when you study about the cells. 3. TISSUE. These are groups of cells and the materials surrounding them that work together to perform a particular function. There are just four basic types of tissues in your body: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscular tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, lines They are similar to the way hollow organs and cavities, and forms glands. words are put together to form Connective tissue connects, supports, and sentences. protects body organs while distributing blood i.pinimg.com vessels to other tissues. Muscular tissue contracts to make body parts move and generates heat. Nervous tissue carries information from one part of the body to another through nerve impulses. You will know more about this when you study about the Tissues. 5. ORGANS. These are composed of two or more tissue types that together perform one or more common functions. At the organ level different types of tissues are joined together. Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 6 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY Similar to the relationship between Organs have specific functions and sentences and paragraphs, organs are usually have recognizable shapes. Examples of organs are the structures that are composed of two or stomach, skin, bones, heart, liver, more different types of tissues. i.pinimg.com lungs, and brain. 6. SYSTEM. It consists of related organs (paragraphs) with a common function. An example of the system level, also called the organsystem level, is the digestive system, which breaks down and absorbs food. Its organs include the mouth, salivary glands, pharynx (throat), esophagus (food tube), stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, Figure 1. The levels of organization of the human body.

After studying the section, you must have: a. Identified at least five (5) characteristics of life and b. Discuss least two (2) survival needs. Warm-up Activity THREE WORDS: As quick as you can, think of three words (3) that comes into your mind about the characteristics of life. Write them down and at the end of the lesson, get back to them and see if you got it right! Central Activities What makes us different from others? More specifically, what makes a living thing different from a non-living one? In this section, you will learn the different characteristics of life. Mores o, these characteristics can all be seen in a living organism, albeit a human being. That’s us! You will even be able to relate yourself as you will learn these characteristics one by one. What are the different Characteristics of Life? 1. RESPONSIVENESS Responsiveness permits an organism to sense, monitor, respond in changes in its external/internal environment. It is the body’s ability to detect and respond to changes. Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 15 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY For example, an increase in body temperature during a fever represents a change in the internal i.pinimg.com environment (within the body) colourbox.com 2. CONDUCTIVITY Refers to the capacity of living cells and tissues to selectively transmit or propagate a wave of excitation from one point to another within the body Copyright © 2014. © Gerard J. Tortora, L.L.C., Bryan Derrickson, John Wiley & 3. GROWTH Growth occurs as a result of normal increase in the size or number of cells. It is an increase in body size that results from an increase in the size of existing cells, an increase in the number of cells, or both. In addition, a tissue sometimes increases in size because the amount of material between cells increases. Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 16 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1.

RESPIRATION It involves processes that result in the absorption, utilization or exchange of respiratory gases (O2 & CO2 between an organism and its environment 5. DIGESTION This is the process by which complex food products are broken down into simpler substances that can be absorbed and used by individual body cells 6. Absorption Absorption is the movement of digested nutrient thru the wall of digestive tube and into the body fluids to transport to cells for use.

MOVEMENT ideas/biology/Reproduction-9257786 Movement includes all the activities promoted by the muscular system such as propelling ourselves from one place to another aided by the skeletal system (walking, running). It includes motion of the whole body, individual organs, single cells, and even tiny structures inside cells. http://www.clipartpanda.com 12. DIFFERENTIATION Differentiation consists of changes in the cell structure and function from generalized to specialized. Such precursor cells, which can divide and give rise to cells that undergo differentiation, are known as stem cells. Each type of cell in the body has a specialized structure or function that differs from that of its precursor (ancestor) cells. For example, red blood cells and several types of white blood cells all arise from the same unspecialized precursor cells in red bone marrow. Also, through differentiation, a single fertilized human egg (ovum) develops into an embryo, and then into a fetus, an infant, a child, and finally an adult. Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 19 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY A living organism in order to manifest the different characteristics of life have needs. These needs are necessary for survival. In the following section, you will learn of the four survival needs that a living organism, a human being to be more precise, must have. Survival Needs (you may research more on how these needs help a living organism live) 1. Nutrients which are taken via the diet, contain the chemicals used for energy and cell building. 2. Oxygen is needed/important for chemical reactions that release energy from foods. 3. Water is the single most abundant chemical substance in the body and provides the fluid base for body secretions and excretions. 4. Body temperature must be maintained at around 37 °C (98°F). Most body heat is generated by the activity of the muscular system. Activity 4. Test your knowledge!

INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY Central Activities A. ANATOMICAL POSITION & DIRECTIONAL TERMS In Anatomical Position, descriptions of any region or part of the human body assume that it is in a standard position of reference. The subject stands erect facing the observer, with the head level and the eyes facing directly forward. The lower limbs are parallel and the feet are flat on the floor and directed forward, and the upper limbs are at the sides with the palms turned forward To better understand the anatomical position, here is the list of description to help you describe how it looks: 1. Erect body Two terms describe a reclining body. If the body is lying facedown, it 2. Arms hanging on the sides is in the prone position. 3. Palms facing forward If the body is lying faceup, it is in 4. Body facing forward i.pinimg.com the supine position. 5. Feet together, slightly apart 6. Feet facing forward 7. Head facing forward 8.

INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY Directional Terms are important to locate various body structures. Anatomists use specific directional terms, words that describe the position of one body part relative to another. Most of the directional terms used to describe the relationship of one part of the body to another can be grouped into pairs that have opposite meanings. For example:  superior means toward the upper part of the body, and inferior means toward the lower part of the body  your knee is superior to your ankle, even though i.pinimg.com both are located in the inferior half of the body It is important to understand that directional terms have relative meanings; they make sense only when used to describe the position of one structure relative to another. What are the Directional Terms? DIRECTIONAL TERM MEANING EXAMPLE 1. Superior/cephalic/cranial Toward the head, or the The heart is superior to the upper part of a structure liver. 2. Inferior/caudal Away from the head, or The stomach is inferior to the lower part of a the lungs. structure 3.

INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY B. PLANES OF THE HUMAN BODY The Planes of the Human Body are imaginary flat surfaces that pass through the body parts. They are known as follows: 1. Sagittal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body or an organ into right and left sides. It may also be further subdivided into: Midsagittal/median plane is a plane passes through the midline of the body or an organ and divides it into equal right and left sides. Parasagittal plane is when the sagittal plane does not pass through the midline but instead divides the body or an organ into unequal right and left sides. 2. Frontal/coronal plane divides the body or an organ into anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions. 3.

The human body is divided into several major regions that can be identified externally. 1. Axial consist of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis (torso) 2. Appendicular consist of the upper and lower extremities and their connections to the axial portion Upper: shoulder, upper arms, forearm, wrist, hands Lower: thighs, legs, ankles, feet Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 26 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY C. DESCRIPTIVE TERMS FOR BODY REGIONS In using descriptive terms for body regions, first we start with the Surface Anatomy, the study of structural relationship of the external features of the body to the internal organs and parts. First you learn about the different Anterior Body Landmarks, then you proceed with the Posterior Body Landmarks. C.1 ANTERIOR BODY LANDMARKS Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 27 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1.

INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY C.3 ABDOMINOPELVIC QUADRANTS AND REGIONS To describe the location of the many abdominal and pelvic organs more easily, anatomists and clinicians use two methods of dividing the abdominopelvic cavity into smaller areas. C.3.1 QUADRANTS Quadrants are simpler and divides the abdominopelvic cavity into quadrants (KWOD-rantz; quad- one-fourth). In this method, a midsagittal line (the median line) and a transverse line (the transumbilical line) are passed through the umbilicus (um- BI-li-kus; umbilic- navel) or belly button. Vertical and horizontal lines pass through the umbilicus i.pinimg.co  Right upper quadrant (RUQ)  Left upper quadrant (LUQ)  Right lower quadrant (RLQ)  Left lower quadrants (LLQ) The nine-region division is more widely used for anatomical studies, and quadrants are more commonly used by clinicians for describing the site of abdominopelvic pain, a tumor, or another abnormality. C.3.2 REGIONS Two horizontal and two vertical lines, aligned like a tic-tac-toe grid, partition the cavity into nine abdominopelvic regions. The top horizontal line, the subcostal line (sub-under; costal rib), is drawn just inferior to the ribs, across the inferior portion of the stomach; the bottom horizontal line, the transtubercular line, is drawn just inferior to the tops of the hip bones. Two vertical lines, the left and right midclavicular lines, are drawn through the midpoints of the clavicles (collar bones), just medial to the nipples. The four lines divide the abdominopelvic cavity into a larger middle section and smaller left and right sections.

INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY C.4 BODY CAVITIES Body Cavities are spaces that enclose internal organs. Bones, muscles, ligaments, and other structures separate the various body cavities from one another. Major Cavities that you will learn next are your thoracic or chest cavity and abdominal cavity. Aside from major cavities, you will also learn about dorsal cavities as well as the viscera, the organs of the cavities. C.4.1 MAJOR CAVITIES a. THORACIC/CHEST CAVITY It is formed by the ribs, the muscles of the chest, the sternum (breastbone), and the thoracic portion of the vertebral column. It consist of R and L pleural cavity, pericardial cavity and a midportion called the mediastinum. It is also where the lungs and heart are located. The Pericardial cavity is a fluid-filled space that surrounds the heart. Pleural cavities are two fluid-filled spaces, one around each lung. The Mediastinum is an anatomic region in the central portion of the thoracic cavity between the medial walls of pleural cavities. It is between the lungs, extending from the sternum to the vertebral column and from the first rib to the diaphragm. The mediastinum contains all thoracic organs except the lungs themselves. Among the structures in the mediastinum are the heart, esophagus, trachea, thymus, and several large blood vessels that enter and exit the heart. The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic cavity. Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 31 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY b. ABDOMINAL CAVITY The Abdominal Cavity extends from the diaphragm to the groin and is encircled by the abdominal muscular wall and the bones and muscles of the pelvis. As the name suggests, the abdominopelvic cavity is divided into two portions, abdominal and pelvic, even though no wall separates them. Abdominal cavity is the superior portion that contains the stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, and most of the large intestine. Pelvic cavity is the inferior portion that contains the urinary bladder, portions of the large intestine, and internal organs of the reproductive system.

Tortora, L.L.C., Bryan Derrickson, John Wiley & C.4.2 DORSAL CAVITIES Comprise your Cranial Cavity and Spinal/Vertebral Cavity. a. Cranial Cavity It is the cranial bones form a hollow space of the head which contains the brain b. Spinal/Vertebral cavity It is the bones of the vertebral column which contains the spinal cord. Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 34 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY The cranial cavity and vertebral canal are continuous with one another. Three layers of protective tissue, the meninges, and a shock-absorbing fluid surround the brain and spinal cord. In which abdominopelvic quadrant would pain from appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) be felt? Viscera Viscera are the organs of the thoracic and abdominal pelvic cavities. Viscera of the abdominal cavity include the stomach, spleen, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, and most of the large intestine. Viscera of the pelvic cavity include the urinary bladder, portions of the large intestine, and internal organs of the reproductive system. There is a thin slippery membrane that covers the viscera called, Serous membrane. Location: liver, spleen, kidneys, heart Function: secrete a lubricant called serous fluid that allows the organ to glide against other structures without causing friction Parts of the serous membrane:  Parietal layer  Lines the wall of the cavities  Visceral layer  Covers the viscera within the cavities Activity 5.

Mariano Marcos State University College of Health Sciences 35 Department of Nursing  CN 100 ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY Wrap-up Activity RECALL: 1. Descriptions of any region of the body assume the body is in the anatomical position, in which the subject stands erect facing the observer, with the head level and the eyes facing directly forward. The feet are flat on the floor and directed forward, and the upper limbs are at the sides, with the palms turned forward. A body lying face down is prone; a body lying faceup is supine. 2. Regional names are terms given to specific regions of the body. Within the regions, specific body parts have anatomical names and corresponding common names. 3. Directional terms indicate the relationship of one part of the body to another. 4. Planes are imaginary flat surfaces that are used to divide the body or organs to visualize interior structures. 5. Sections are cuts of the body or its organs made along a plane. They are named according to the plane along which the cut is made and include transverse, frontal, and sagittal sections. 6. Body cavities are spaces in the body that help protect, separate, and support internal organs. 7. The thoracic cavity is subdivided into three smaller cavities: a pericardial cavity, which contains the heart, and two pleural cavities, each of which contains a lung. 8. The abdominopelvic cavity is divided into a superior abdominal and an inferior pelvic cavity. 9. To describe the location of organs more easily, the abdominopelvic cavity is divided into nine regions: right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypochondriac, right lumbar, umbilical, left lumbar, right inguinal (iliac), hypogastric (pubic), and left inguinal (iliac).
