LESSON 1: ORGANIZATION OF THE HUMAN BODY: ***Anatomy*** - Refers to the [internal] & [external structure]. ***Physiology*** - Science that studies [body functions]. *ANATOMY (STRUCTURE)\ PHYSIOLOGY (FUNCTION)* **LVLS OF ORGANIZATION**: 1. Ex: 2. 3. 4. Ex: Stomach, The Heart, Lungs 5. Ex:\ ***Integumentary System***- Skin, Hair, Glands, Nails ***Skeletal System*** - Bones, Cartilage, Ligaments, Tendons ***Nervous System*** - Brain, Spinal Cord ***Muscular System*** - Smooth, Skeletal, Cardiac Muscles ***Cardiovascular/Circulatory System*** - Heart, Blood Vessels, Blood ***Respiratory System*** - Lungs, Trachea, Airways ***Lymphatic System*** - Glands, Lymph Vessels, Nodes, Ducts ***Endocrine System*** - Pancreas, Thyroid, Pineal, Gonads ***Digestive System*** - Stomach, Mouth, Esophagus, Small and large intestine, Gallbladder, Anus\ ***Reproductive System*** - Uterus, Penis, Vagina, Testicles ***Urinary System*** - Kidneys, Bladder, Urethra 6. **AUTOPSY:** ***Post Mortem Examination*** - [Examination] & [dissection] of the body to *determine the cause of death*.\ When life processes haven't been maintained.\ \ *CATABOLISM* (Complex → Simple) - Ex: Proteins → Amino Acids\ (By digestive processes that catabolize) *ANABOLISM* (Simple → Complex) - Ex: Bone development, Muscle gain, Mineralization **LIVE PROCESSES**: - - - - - - **CLINICAL TERMS:** Disorder - Abnormality of structure/function\ Disease - Specific illness by signs & symptoms.\ Ex: Subjective → Anxiety\ Objective → Asthma **AGING & HOMEOSTASIS:** - - Ex: Body Temp\ Blood Pressure (BP) Water & Nutrient Levels **FEEDBACK SYSTEMS** Cycle of events in which the status of a body condition is: - - - - - BASIC COMPONENTS: - - - - **NEGATIVE FEEDBACK SYSTEMS**: Reverses the change in a CC (Controlled Condition)\ Most homeostatic control mechanisms are negative feedback systems.\ *(Negative means Opposite not Bad.)* Simplified Explanation:\ The body gives a response so that the change can go back to normal. These reverse a change in the variable.\ \ *(Bringing it back to normal)*\ Ex: HBP is detected then lowered to normal BP. **POSITIVE FEEDBACK SYSTEMS**: Few homeostatic mechanisms of this type. These systems strengthen change & need to be shut down by an external force.\ \ Easier Explanation:\ Your body reacts to change, but instead of trying to reverse it (like NFS) it continuously tries to force it externally until it breaks the cycle.
