medicine Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology ANATOMY The study of the structure of living organisms and their · : parts e where organs are located... g · PHYSIOLOGY : The study of how these parts function and why they do work the way they. Example : Anatomy focuses on where the heart is located , while looks at how and the pumps blood Physiology why heart. of the Organization Human Body The body o sabera priestor is organized into different levels : hmoda velko,. Atom 1 the smallest basic unit of matter that makes up , everything around us 2. Molecule is a group of atoms that are chemically bounded together 3 Cell the basic unit of life similar structure and function 1. 4. Tissue a group or layer of cells that work together to perform a specific function of different tissues to perform specific 5. Organ group working together a function (e heart , liver ( g.. 6. Organ system group of organs working together to perform related tasks. 7 Organism the entire body functioning as a whole Homeostasis process that maintains the stability of internal conditions despite changes · a occurring outside of the body (right body temperature blood pressure , ,... Example stable internal temperature around 37 % : The body keeps · a even when external conditions change. and Everyone's ultimate cause of death is the extreme irreversible · loss of Homeostasis. organ failure , hypothermia suffocation, I , starvation , dehydration podchladenie Negative feedback is the body's way of fixing any imbalances and bringing If out of balance (like things back to normal something goes. temperature or blood sugar) negative , feedback works to correct it and return the system to its ideal state. This process helps maintain stability in the body and prevents extreme changes ! Example If the becomes too hot , mechanisms like activated to cool : body sweating are it down. If the body becomes too cold , processes like shivering help generate heat to temperature back to normal This keeps the bring the. body's temperature within a safe range. Positive feedback : is when a change in the body is made stronger and faster ! Instead of trying to bring things back to normal , it pushes the process further in the same direction. Positive feedback is usually used in special situations that require a quick or intense response. maternica Example : CHILDBIRTH During labor , the contractions of the uterus push the baby down , which triggers the release of hormone called stronger which oxytocin Oxytocin. causes contractions , in turn release more oxytocin and this continues until the baby is born. This helps speed up the birth process ! Body Systems work together to maintain homeostasis : Nervous System Rapid communication between parts of the body · :. rychly suvisiace su vessels cardio s cievami cievy konkretne vascular suvisiace so sudcom scvisiaci sudcom cierami chamlate blood so a The heart and blood vessels · Cardiovascular System : throughout the body. Respiratory System : The organs that bring oxygen into the body ·. · Digestive System : Breaks down food and absorbs nimutrients.
