I. Anatomy and PhysiologyA. Anatomy

1. The study of the structure of an organism and the relationships of its parts.

2. We learn hands on – anatomy means “up” “cut” – or literally to cut up.

B. Define Physiology

1. The study of the functions of an organism and its parts.

2. Greek for “study of nature”

external stimuli

• C. Movement – 1. motion of the whole body

2. individual organs – the coordinated action of muscles allows you to move from one place to another

V. Interaction of Structure and Function

• - the structure of the body often determines how it functions (respiratory problems, obesity, anorexia, etc)

• A. Body Type (somatotype or physique) and disease – body shape/fat content is affected by gender, ago, exercise, and diet 1. endomorph – heavy in the middle

• a. apple shape – large waistline – fat deposited here breaks down and enters the blood stream – can lead to heart disease, stroke, high BP, breast cancer, etc.

• b. Pear shaped – large hips, thighs, rear. This fat is not metabolically active, so the good news is that this fat doesn’t break down and enter the blood stream to cause health problems – but the bad news is that since it is not metabolically active, it doesn’t come off easy.

2. Mesomorph – Ken and Barbie look – muscular build

3. Ectomorph – thin, lean body types

VII. Homeostatic Control Mechanisms • A. Devices for maintaining or restoring homeostasis by

self-regulation through feedback control loops

• B. Basic components of control mechanisms 1. Sensor mechanism —specific sensors detect and react to

any changes from normal 2. Control center—information is analyzed and integrated, and

then, if needed, a specific action is initiated 3. Effector mechanism —effectors directly influence controlled

physiological variables 4. Feedback —process of information about a variable

constantly flowing back from the sensor to the integrator

compounds – 96% of the body is made of 4 elements: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen

Page 42: Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc. Class Verse Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works.

Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc.

II. Organic and Inorganic

Compounds• “rule of thumb”- organic

contains carbon, inorganic does not

• A. Inorganic Molecules- water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, electrolytes

Page 43: Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc. Class Verse Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works.

Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc.

1. Water• “cradle of life” because all living

organisms require H2O to survive

• Every cell is bathed in watery fluid (surrounds it) and cytoplasm is made largely of water

• It is 70% of bodyweight

Page 44: Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc. Class Verse Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works.

Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc.

• a. Properties of water1. Acts as a solvent – things

will dissolve in it. This makes it a good transporter of oxygen, food substances, etc.

2. Absorbs and gives off heat slowly – therefore helps maintain constant body temperature

Page 45: Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc. Class Verse Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works.

Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc.

2. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide

• Cellular respiration where oxygen is used to break down the nutrients within the cell in order to release energy. (this is the exception to the “rule of thumb” that inorganic compounds have no carbon in them)

Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc.

3. Electrolytes

• Are acids, bases and salts

A. Acids and bases – early chemists characterized acids and bases by tasting them. Acids taste sour and bases bitter.

•1. Acids – any substance that will release H+ ions or are proton donors (example: HCl – hydrochloric acid in stomach)

Page 47: Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc. Class Verse Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works.

Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc.

•2. Bases – “proton acceptors”, so they have a lower concentration of H ions in solution. (example: biocarbonate ion transports respiratory gases.

•3. pH scale – way to measure acidity or alkalinity of a solution – logarithmic scale (meaning 10 fold)

Scale is 0-14 with neutral 7 (water). <7=acidic, >7=basic

Page 48: Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc. Class Verse Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works.

Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc.

b. Salts – mineral salt electrolytes such as calcium (important for muscle contraction), potassium and sodium (important for nerve impulse)

Page 49: Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc. Class Verse Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works.

Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc.

c. If output (ie:diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating) exceeds input, then dehydration occurs. This causes skin to loose elasticity. Test for dehydration = “tenting” occurs when fold of skin is pinched.

Give electrolytes to fix = Gatorade, Pedialyte

Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc.

2. Proteins – enzymes, hair, nails, hormones, antibodies

•a. Amino acids – are the building blocks of proteins. There are 20 commonly occurring amino acids (a.a.); 8 of them are essential (the body cannot produce them so they must be included in the diet). The other 12 can be made from the 8 essential ones.

•b. PKU – 1/12,000 births are babies with phenylketouria (PKU) – a genetic disease that lacks enzymes to break down the a.a. phenylaline. Build up of phenylaline in the body causes mental retardation. All babies are tested for PKU at birth.

Mosby items and derived items © 2007, 2003 by Mosby, Inc.

b. Ribonucleic Acid• RNA is responsible for

the movement of genetic information from the DNA in the cell nucleus to the site of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm. RNA's sugar molecule is ribose instead of the deoxyribos sugar in DNA.
