Dr. Pasan Fernando 13  Organs and Organ Systems Organs: have at least two tissue types and perform specific functions Organ system: collection of organs performing a particular task 11 organ systems – sometimes counted as 10 or 12 in some sources (Derrickson uses 12) All are vital but none function in isolation Some are physically connected Eg. gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, urinary Some are not connected but widely scattered Dr. Pasan Fernando Eg. endocrine, lymphatic (immune) system All systems are interdependent 14 All systems strive to maintain homeostasis  Eleven Organ Systems Organism level Organ The heart is an level organ containing many tissue types. Cardiovascular System Endocrine Nervous Lymphatic Organ Muscular Respiratory system Skeletal Digestive level Integumentary Urinary Reproductive Dr. Pasan Fernando The cardiovascular system includes the heart and other organs. 15  The Overall Body Plan This section describes how the body can be described into a simple layout Objectives: ü Describe the simple body plan ü Draw the simple body plan with key elements ü Identify critical features of the simple body plan Dr. Pasan Fernando 16  The Overall Body Plan Overall plan of the body can be broken down into a very simplistic model § Consists of: 1. External environment 2. Internal environment Ø Must have a source to exchange air (O2/CO2) Ø Must have a way of taking in nutrients and sending out waste Ø Must have a way of moving the components from air exchange and nutrients around to the rest of the body Dr. Pasan Fernando 17  Internal and External Environments are Separated § Epithelial cells form a layer that separates the external environment from the inside of the body § Skin, linings of the lungs, GI system, kidney tubules – all are continuous with the external environment § Examples of external environment: Ø Surroundings external to the skin Ø Air in the lungs Ø Food in the stomach Ø Urine in the bladder Dr. Pasan Fernando 18  Internal Environment Nutrients, External Air water, environment inorganic ions § Immediate environment of most cells Internal Gastrointestinal environment tract O2 CO 2 Lungs § Includes tissue fluid and plasma Cell Blood vessels Ø Tissue fluid (interstitial fluid) is fluid Secretion membrane Heart Absorption around all other cells Filtration Reabsorption Secretion Blood cells Ø Plasma is fluid around blood cells Cells (nerve, muscle, etc.) Ø In: à nutrients O2 Kidneys Excretion Epithelial Unabsorbed Ø Out: ß waste, CO2 cell layer Urine material Dr. Pasan Fernando CCM Health - Ccm.net 19  Exchange Between Internal and External Environment § Cells exchange nutrients and wastes between internal and external environments § But most cells are not in direct contact with the external environment § Material is exchanged between blood (plasma) Ø Ex. Lungs, GI tract, kidneys – Across gastrointestinal tract » Absorption » Secretion – Across kidneys » Filtration Dr. Pasan Fernando » Reabsorption » Secretion 20  The Pensive Paramedic Barriers are essential for isolating the internal and external environments. § But the cells/tissues/organs of the body do not function in isolation § Physiological function requires a community response § How then does the body function as a community? 1. What is meant by community response? 2. What facilitates a community response? Dr. Pasan Fernando 21  Dr. Pasan Fernando 22  Homeostasis Homeostasis is one of the underlying themes in this course Objectives: ü Identify the body fluids and main compartments in the body ü Describe how solutes are exchanged between compartments ü Describe the major solutes found in the ECF and begin to recognize their normal concentrations Dr. Pasan Fernando 23  Body Fluids and Compartments § Body is divided into compartments 40% solids § Compartments contain fluids § Compartments are separated by epithelial membranes § Membranes are semipermeable § Transport occurs between 2/3 compartments ICF 60% fluids Dr. Pasan Fernando 75% 1/3 Interstital ECF fluid 25% plasma  Key constituents and physical characteristics of extra cellular fluid (ECF) Constituent Normal Value Normal Range Approximate Short-Term Nonlethal Unit Limit Oxygen (venous) 40 25–40 10–1000 mm Hg Carbon dioxide 45 41–51 5–80 mm Hg (venous) Sodium ion 142 135–145 115–175 mmol/L Potassium ion 4.2 3.5–5.3 1.5–9.0 mmol/L Calcium ion 1.2 1.0–1.4 0.5–2.0 mmol/L Chloride ion 106 98–108 70–130 mmol/L Bicarbonate ion 24 22–29 8–45 mmol/L Glucose 90 70–115 20–1500 mg/dl Body temperature 98.4 (37.0) 98–98.8 (37.0) 65–110 (18.3–43.3) °F (°C) Dr. Pasan Fernando Acid–base 7.4 7.3–7.5 6.9–8.0 pH (venous) 25  Homeostasis In this section you will… § Define homeostasis. § Distinguish between the body’s internal environment and external environment. § Describe the components of a feedback system. § Contrast the operation of negative and positive feedback systems. § Explain feedforward control. Dr. Pasan Fernando  Homeostasis – Began as a Concept Claude Bernard (1813-1878) - described how internal environment Walter Cannon (1871-1945) Dr. Pasan Fernando is separate and different from external - 'homeostasis' environment) 'milieu interieur' - underlining principle of physiology 27  Homeostasis § Homeostasis is the maintenance of relatively stable internal conditions despite continuous changes in the (external) environment) Ø A dynamic state of equilibrium, always readjusting as needed Ø All organ systems contribute to maintain homeostasis Homeostatic controls § Work to maintain constant variables in the body Ø i.e., blood sugar, blood volume, temperature etc. § Control of variables involves three components: 1. Receptor 2. Control center Dr. Pasan Fernando 3.
