Anatomy and Physiology Chapter 1: The Human Body: Orientation Anatomy- Study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts Levels of Study: Gross anatomy Large structures Easily observable Microscopic anatomy Protects and supports body Structures cannot be seen with the naked organs; provides a framework the eye muscles use to cause movement; blood cells are formed within Structures can only be viewed with a bones; stores minerals. microscope Muscular System Physiology- Study of how the body and its parts - Produces movement work or function - Maintains posture - Produces heat Organ System Overview Integumentary System - Forms the external body covering - Protects deeper tissue from injury - Helps regulate body temperature - Location of cutaneous nerve receptors Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression; maintains posture; produces heat. Nervous System - Fast-acting control system - Responds to internal and external change Forms the external body covering; protects deeper tissue from injury; - Activates muscles and glands synthesizes vitamin D; location of cutaneous (pain, pressure, etc.) receptors and sweat and oil glands. Skeletal System - Protects and supports body organs - Provides muscle attachment for movement - Site of blood cell formation - Stores minerals Fast-acting control system of the body; responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands. Endocrine System - Secretes regulatory hormones - Growth - Reproduction - Metabolism Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood; disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream; houses white blood cells involved in immunity. Glands secrete hormones that Respiratory System regulate processes such as growth, - Keeps blood supplied with oxygen reproduction, and nutrient use by - Removes carbon dioxide body cells. Cardiovascular System - Transports materials in body via blood pumped by heart - Oxygen - Carbon dioxide - Nutrients - Wastes Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide; the gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs. Digestive System - Breaks down food Blood vessels transport blood, - Allows for nutrient absorption into blood which carries oxygen, carbon - Eliminates indigestible material as feces dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc.; the heart pumps blood. Lymphatic System - Returns fluids to blood vessels - Cleanses the blood - Involved in immunity Breaks food down into absorbable units that enter the blood for Overall function of the reproductive system is production of offspring. distribution to body cells; Testes produce sperm and male sex hormone; ducts and glands aid in indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated delivery of viable sperm to the female reproductive tract. Ovaries as feces. produce eggs and female sex hormones; remaining structures serve as sites for fertilization and development of the fetus. Mammary glands Urinary System of female breast produce milk to nourish the newborn. - Eliminates nitrogenous wastes - Maintains acid-base balance Necessary Life Functions - Regulates water and electrolytes Maintain boundaries Movement Locomotion Movement of substances Responsiveness Ability to sense changes and react Digestion Breakdown and absorption of nutrients Metabolism—chemical reactions within the body Break down complex molecules into smaller ones Build larger molecules from smaller ones Produces energy Regulated by hormones Excretion Eliminates nitrogen-containing Eliminates waste from metabolic reactions wastes from the body; regulates Wastes may be removed in urine or feces water, electrolyte, and acid-base Reproduction balance of the blood. Occurs on cellular level or organismal level Produces future generation Reproductive System Growth - Produces offspring Increases cell size and number of cells - Testes produce sperm and male hormone - Ovaries produce eggs and female hormones Survival Needs Nutrients - Chemicals for energy and cell building - Includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals Oxygen - Required for chemical reactions Water - 60 to 80 percent of body weight - Most abundant chemical in the human body Posterior Body Landmarks - Provides for metabolic reaction Stable body temperature - 37°C (98°F) Atmospheric pressure - Must be appropriate for gas exchange Homeostasis Homeostasis—maintenance of a stable internal environment - A dynamic state of equilibrium - Necessary for normal body functioning and to sustain life Homeostatic imbalance - A disturbance in homeostasis resulting in disease Input: Information sent along Output: Information sent along afferent pathway to control center.

The skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. It membrane of the cell is the permits movement of the body, sarcolemma; maintains posture, and circulates blood the cytoplasm of the cell is the throughout the body. The muscular sarcoplasm. The sarcoplasmic systems are controlled through the reticulum (SR) is a form of nervous system although some muscles endoplasmic reticulum. can be completely autonomous. Muscle fibers are composed of myofibrils. Muscle a band or bundle of fibrous tissue 3 Types of Muscle Tissues: that has the ability to contract, 1. Smooth producing movement in or 2. Skeletal maintaining the position of parts of 3. Cardiac the body: Muscle cells contain protein Smooth Muscles filaments of actin and myosin that is a type of muscle tissue which is slide past one another, producing a used by various systems to apply contraction that changes both the pressure to vessels and organs. length and the shape of the cell. Smooth muscle is composed of Muscles function to produce force sheets or strands of smooth muscle and motion. cells. These cells have fibers of actin and myosin which run through the cell and are supported by a framework of other proteins. Smooth muscles are located in the control of the somatic nervous following organs: system.

It is an involuntary, 5. Hand Muscles (video) striated muscle that constitutes the 6. Muscles of the Foot (video) main tissue of the walls of the 7. Simple Muscle Movements heart. Head Muscles The muscles of the head and neck perform many important tasks, including movement of the head and neck, chewing and swallowing, speech, facial expressions, and movement of the eyes. These diverse tasks require both strong, forceful movements and some of the fastest, finest, and most delicate adjustments in the entire human body. Skeletal Muscles It is a form of striated muscle tissue,which is under the voluntary eyelid It has three distinct parts – palpebral, lacrimal, and orbital. a. Palpebral part – gently closes the eyelids. b. Lacrimal part – involved in the drainage of tears. c. Orbital part – tightly closes the eyelids. The muscles of the face are unique among groups of muscles in the body. While most muscles connect to and move only bones, facial muscles mostly connect bones to skin. The muscles of the head are divided into: - Muscles of Facial Expression, Corrugator Supercilii - Muscles of Mastication It is a much smaller muscle and is - Tongue. located posteriorly to the orbicularis oculi. I. Muscles of Facial Expression Acts to draw the eyebrows The muscles of facial expression are together, creating vertical wrinkles located in the subcutaneous tissue, on the bridge of the nose originating from bone or fascia, and inserting onto the skin. By contracting, the muscles pull on the skin and exert their effects. They are the only group of muscles that insert into the skin. It can broadly be split into three groups: A. Orbital Group B.

These muscles are divided into : - Intrinsic - Extrinsic Medial Pterygoid Elevates the mandible, closing the Intrinsic Muscles mouth. The Intrinsic muscles only attach to other structures in the tongue. There are four paired intrinsic muscles of the tongue and they are named by the direction in which they travel: A. Superior Longitudinal B. Inferior Longitudinal C. Transverse D. Vertical muscles These muscles affect the shape and size of the tongue – for example, in tongue rolling – and have a role in facilitating speech, eating and Lateral Pterygoid- Acting bilaterally, the swallowing. lateral pterygoids protract the mandible, pushing the jaw forwards. Unilateral Extrinsic Muscles action produces the ‘side to side’ The four extrinsic muscles originate movement of the jaw. from bone and extend to the tongue. They are the: 1. Genioglossus 2. Hyoglossus (often including the chondroglossus) 3. Styloglossus 4. Palatoglossus. Their main functions are altering the tongue's position allowing for protrusion, retraction, and neck. They all act to elevate the side-to-side movement. hyoid bone – an action involved in swallowing.
