Introduction to Anatomy and PhysiologyAnatomy:
◦Branch of science that deals with the STRUCTURE of body parts, forms and organization
4 Subcategories:◦1) Microscopic – cell/tissue study◦2) Gross – what you can SEE (w/out
assistance)◦3) Pathological – study of germs,
pathogens and how they affect body◦4) Developmental – embryonic
development

Introduction to Anatomy and PhysiologyPhysiology:
◦Branch of science that deals with the FUNCTIONS of body parts
Very closely associated with each other
Ex: human hand◦Anatomy: bones, length, joints, nails,
skin◦Physiology: bones – attach to muscle;
joints – muscle movement; skin – pathogen protection
![Page 7: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Levels of OrganizationAtom – smallest particle of an element
with the properties of that elementMolecules – a particle composed of
two or more joined atomsMacromolecules – a large molecule
made of many smaller molecules joined together (protein, nucleic acid, carb)
Organelles – part of a cell that performs a specific function
Cells – structural and functional unit of life
![Page 8: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Levels of OrganizationTissue – a group of cells working
together to perform the same function (ex: cardiac muscle)
Organ – a group of tissue working together to perform same function (ex: stomach, liver)
Organ/body systems – a group of organs working together to perform similar functions (ex: digestive, respiratory)
Organism/Individual – a group of body systems performing all functions needed to maintain homeostasis (ex: you!)

LIVING ORGANISMS AND
THEIR PROCESSES
![Page 26: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Characteristics of LifeAll life performs metabolism
◦Def – the sum total of all chemical reactions in a body (includes breakdown and synthesis of macromolecules)
9 characteristics of life:◦1) Movement:
Ability to change positions or move internal organs
◦2) Respond to stimuli: Ability to react to change inside and outside
of body Respond to environmental (internal or
external) conditions/stimuli
![Page 27: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Characteristics of Life9 characteristics of life:
◦3) Growth: Increase in body size (without a change a
shape)◦4) Reproduction:
Ability to reproduce new organisms and new sex cells (sperm and egg)
◦5) Maintain homeostasis Respiration, circulation, excretion,
digestion, absorption◦6) Organization:
Body is organized into levels
![Page 28: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Characteristics of Life9 characteristics of life:
◦7) Assimilation: Ability to change absorbed substances
into different forms◦8) Evolution:
Ability for the species/population to evolve and adapt to environment
◦9) Energy use: Ability to use (and convert) energy into
useable forms
![Page 29: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Requirements of Living Organisms
5 Requirements: ◦1) Water – most abundant molecules,
cells require an aqueous/water environment◦2) Food – provides nutrients, energy◦3) O2 – used to release energy from food◦4) Heat – energy form, determines - in
part - the rate of most chemical reactions in body
◦5) Pressure – important in maintaining homeostasis (circulation and respiration)
![Page 30: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Virtually all processes in the human body occur to maintain homeostasis◦Def: an organism’s maintenance of a
relatively constant internal state within set ranges.
◦Ex: Temp – 98.6oF Blood Pressure – 120/80, Blood pH – 7.4 Hydration – 60% water
Homeostasis
![Page 31: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
HomeostasisHomeostatic control mechanisms◦This is HOW your body controls homeostasis
◦Three basic components: 1) Sensor/Receptors: Provide info about
specific conditions/stimuli in internal environment
2) Integrator/Set point: what the value SHOULD be (ex: temp = 98.6oF)
3) Effectors: cause bodily responses that alter conditions in the environment
![Page 32: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
HomeostasisUses feedback to respond to stimuli◦Feedback is used to regulate: Body temp, Blood
pressure, Respiration, Digestion, Hormone secretion
![Page 34: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
HomeostasisNegative feedback:
◦Def: correction of deviation, moves in opposite direction or reduces effector action
◦Most bodily processes operated by neg feedback Ex: your body temp drops in response to cold
weather, you shiver, this causes rapid muscle contractions – produces heat, body temp increases
Ex: thermostat set @ 68oF, your air conditioning is running all day, 68oF is reaches, air conditioner shuts off
![Page 35: Anatomy and Physiology: Introductory notes](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568164a6550346895dd6995f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

HomeostasisPositive feedback:
◦Def: amplifies or reinforces the change that is occurring
◦Very few normal positive feedback mechanisms in the human body Ex: childbirth, blood clotting, sneeze
◦Can be very harmful, disastrous Ex: cell cycle regulation
(cancer and tumors)Feedback: In plain English!
