BASIC LIFE PROCESSES
Life processes distinguish living things from nonliving things.
o Metabolism is the sum of all chemical processes that
occur in the body, including catabolism and anabolism.
o Responsiveness is the ability to detect and respond to
changes in the external or internal environment.
o Movement includes motion of the whole body, individual
organs, single cells or even organelles inside cells.

BASIC LIFE PROCESSES
o Growth refers to an increase in size and complexity, due
to an increase in the number of cells, size of cells, or both.
o Differentiation is the change in a cell from an
unspecialized state to a specialized state.
o Reproduction refers either to the formation of new cells
for growth, repair, or replacement, or the production of a
new individual.
What happens when one of these life processes does not occur properly?

INTRODUCTION TO THE HUMAN BODY
Human body can be studied on two different levels:
o Anatomy• science of structure
• relationships revealed by dissection (cutting apart) and imaging techniques
o Physiology• science of body functions
• normal adult physiology is studied in this text
• some genetic variations are described
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 9
ANATOMY
Definition: Anatomy is the study of structure and the
relationships among these structures. Anatomy is divided
into subdivisions:
surface anatomy, gross anatomy, systemic anatomy,
regional anatomy, radiographic anatomy, developmental
anatomy, embryology, cytology and pathological
anatomy.
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 10
PHYSIOLOGY
Definition: Physiology is the study of how body structures
function. Physiology is also divided into subdivisions:
cell physiology, systems physiology, pathophysiology,
exercise physiology, neurophysiology, endocrinology,
cardiovascular physiology, immunophysiology,
respiratory physiology, renal physiology and
reproductive physiology
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 11
CLINICAL APPLICATION
Clinicians use three non-invasive techniques to assess specific aspects of body structure and function:
o Palpation - the examiner feels body surfaces with the hands; e.g. pulse and heart rate determination
o Auscultation - the examiner listens to body sounds to evaluate the functioning of certain organs; e.g. listening to the lungs or heart
o Percussion - the examiner taps on the body surface with the fingertips and listens to the resulting echo; e.g. fluid in the lungs
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 12
HOMEOSTASIS - revisionDefinition: Homeostasis is a condition of equilibrium or balance in the body’s internal environment produced by the interplay of all the body’s regulatory processes.
o Dynamic process – it is able to maintain the internal environment within specific physiological limits by responding to the changing conditions (e.g. volume and composition of body fluids; blood glucose level is kept within narrow range 3.5-6.3mmols/L)
o Homeostasis is able to respond to both internal and external environment disruptions (internal blood pressure; external CO2/O2 levels and temperature)
o First described by French physiologist Claude Bernard in 1865 and later named Walter Cannon in 1926.

CONTROL OF HOMEOSTASIS -
revision
Homeostasis is regulated by the nervous system and
endocrine system, acting together or independently,
using feedback systems.
• The nervous system detects changes and sends nerve
impulses to counteract the disruption; rapid change
• The endocrine system regulates homeostasis by
secreting hormones; slow change
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 14
FEEDBACK SYSTEMS
Feedback system is a cycle of events in
which information about the status of a
condition is continually monitored and reported
to a central control region.
• Any disruption that changes a controlled condition
is called a stimulus.
Feedback system consists of three basic parts:
o Receptor monitors changes
o Control center sets the range of values within
which a controlled condition should be
maintained
o Effector is a body structure that receives output
from the control center and produces a response
or effect that changes the controlled condition
Two types of feedback systems exist –
negative and positive
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 15
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
SYSTEMS
Negative feedback system reverses the
original stimulus.
E.g: homeostasis of blood pressure (BP; force of
blood on walls of vessels)
1. Pressure receptors (baroreceptors) in
walls of certain arteries detect an increase
in BP (what can be the stimulus?)
2. Brain receives input and then signals heart
and blood vessels
• Heart rate slows and arterioles dilate
(increase in diameter)
3. BP returns to normal
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 16
POSITIVE FEEDBACK
SYSTEMS
Positive feedback system enhances the
original stimulus.
E.g: normal childbirth:
1. Stretch receptors in walls of the uterus send signals to the brain (what is the stimulus?)
2. Brain releases a hormone (oxytocin) into bloodstream
3. Uterine smooth muscle contracts more forcefully
4. More stretch more hormone more contraction etc.
5. The cycle ends with birth of the baby & decrease in stretch

HOMEOSTATIC IMBALANCESDisruption of homeostasis can lead to disorders, diseases and
death and can be determined using diagnosis.
o Disorder is a general term for any abnormality of structure
or function.
o Disease (local and systemic) is a more specific term for an
illness characterized by a recognizable set of signs and
symptoms.
• Signs are objective changes that a clinician can observe and
measure; e.g. fever or rash.
• Symptoms are subjective changes in body functions that are not
apparent to an observer; e.g. headache or nausea.
o Diagnosis is the science of distinguishing one disease from
another or determining the nature of a disease
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 18
BODY FLUIDS
o Composition of the surrounding fluids must be precisely
maintained at all times. 2 types:
1. Fluid inside body cells is called intracellular fluid.
2. Fluid outside body cells is called extracellular fluid
(ECF); since ECF is in constant motion throughout the
body and also surrounds all body cells, it is often called
the body’s internal environment found in two principal
places.
• ECF filling the narrow spaces between cells of tissues is called
interstitial fluid, intercellular fluid, or tissue fluid.
• ECF in blood vessels is termed plasma.

Anatomical PositionThe anatomical position is a
standardized method of observing or
imaging the body that allows precise
and consistent anatomical
references.
o When in the anatomical position,
the subject stands.
• standing upright
• facing the observer, head level
• eyes facing forward
• feet flat on the floor
• arms at the sides
• palms turned forward (ventral)
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 23
Reclining Positiono If the body is lying face down, it is in the prone position.
o If the body is lying face up, it is in the supine position.
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 24
Regional Names
Regional names are
names given to
specific regions of
the body for reference.
For example: cranial
(skull), thoracic
(chest), brachial (arm),
patellar (knee),
cephalic (head) and
gluteal (buttock).
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 25
Directional Terms
Directional terms are used
to precisely locate one
part of the body relative to
another and to reduce
lengthy explanations.
Commonly used directional
terms: dorsal, superior,
medial, and distal
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 26
Directional terms: Superior/Inferior &
Dorsal/Ventral
o Superior
• towards the head
e.g. eyes are superior to the mouth
o Inferior
• away from the head
e.g. stomach is inferior to the heart
o Dorsal or Posterior
• at the back of the body
e.g. brain is posterior to the
forehead
o Ventral or Anterior
• at the front of the body
e.g. sternum is anterior to the heart
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 27
Directional terms: Medial/Lateral &
Proximal/Distal
o Medial
• nearer to the midline
of the bodye.g. heart lies medial to the lungs
o Lateral
• farther from the midline
of the body
e.g. thumb is on the lateral side of
the hand
o Proximal
• nearer to the attachment
of the limb to the trunk
e.g. knee is proximal to the ankle
o Distal
• further away from the
attachment of the limb
to the trunk
e.g. wrist is distal to the elbow

Planes
Planes are imaginary flat
surfaces that are used to divide
the body or organs into definite
areas.
Principal planes are:
• sagital
• frontal (coronal)
• transverse (cross-sectional or
horizontal)
• oblique
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 29
o Sagittal plane
• divides the body or an organ into left and
right sides; 2 types:
1. Midsagittal plane produces equal halves
2. Parasagittal plane produces unequal
halves
o Frontal (coronal) plane
• divides the body or an organ into front
(anterior) and back (posterior) portions
o Transverse(cross-sectional) or
horizontal plane
• divides the body or an organ into upper
(superior) or lower (inferior) portions
o Oblique plane
• some combination of 2 other planes
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 30
Sections
Sections are flat surfaces resulting from cuts through body
structures based and named according to the plane on
which the cut is made (transverse, frontal, and midsagittal
sections)
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 31
Body Cavities
Body cavities are spaces that
enclose internal organs within the
body.
- function is to protect, separate and
support internal organs
- separated by bones muscles and
ligaments
Principal cavities are:
• cranial
• vertebral canal
• thoracic
• abdominopelvic
Dorsal

– holds the brain
– formed by skull
• vertebral or spinal canal
– contains the spinal cord
– formed by vertebral column
o Meninges line dorsal body cavity
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 33
Ventral Body CavityNear ventral surface of body
o Contains 2 cavities:
• thoracic cavity
• abdominopelvic cavity

membrane
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 34
Thoracic Cavity
Contains:
1. two pleural cavities that enclose the lungs
2. pericardial cavity enclosed by the mediastinum, which includes
and surrounds the heart
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 35
Abdominopelvic Cavity
The abdominopelvic cavity is divided into
a superior abdominal and an inferior
pelvic cavity.
•Viscera of the abdominal cavity
include the stomach, spleen,
pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small
intestine, and most of the large
intestine
•Viscera of the pelvic cavity include
the urinary bladder, portions of the
large intestine and internal female
and male reproductive structures.
© Endeavour College of Natural Health endeavour.edu.au 36
Serous Membranes
Include the pleura, pericardium and peritoneum:
o Pleural membrane surrounds the lungs
• visceral pleura clings to the surface of the lungs
• parietal pleura lines the chest wall
o Pericardium is the serous membrane of the pericardial cavity
• visceral pericardium covers the surface of the heart
• parietal pericardium lines the chest wall
o Peritoneum is the serous membrane of the abdominal cavity
• visceral peritoneum covers the abdominal viscera
• parietal peritoneum lines the abdominal wall

Abdominopelvic Regions and Quadrants
To describe the location of organs
or abdominopelvic abnormalities
easily, the abdominopelvic cavity
may be divided into:
• quadrants by passing imaginary
horizontal and vertical lines
through the umbilicus
• nine regions by drawing four
imaginary lines

Anatomical Position
The anatomical position is a
standardized method of observing or
imaging the body that allows precise
