Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy: The study of structure Subdivisions:

Gross or macroscopic (e.g., regional, surface, and systemic anatomy)
Microscopic (e.g., cytology and histology)

Developmental (e.g., embryology)
Overview of Anatomy and Physiology

Essential tools for the study of anatomy:
Mastery of anatomical terminology Observation Manipulation Palpation Auscultation

Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Physiology: The study of function at many levels
Subdivisions are based on organ systems (e.g., renal or cardiovascular physiology)
Overview of Anatomy and Physiology Essential tools for the study of physiology:
Ability to focus at many levels (from systemic to cellular and molecular) Basic physical principles (e.g., electrical currents, pressure, and movement) Basic chemical principles
Principle of Complementarity
Anatomy and physiology are inseparable.
Function always reflects structure What a structure can do depends on its specific form

Overview of Organ Systems

Note major organs and functions of the 11 organ systems (Fig. 1.3)

Hair Skin Nails
(a) Integumentary System Forms the external body covering, and protects deeper tissues from injury. Synthesizes vitamin D, and houses cutaneous (pain, pressure, etc.) receptors and sweat and oil glands.
Figure 1.3a
Bones Joint
(b) Skeletal System Protects and supports body organs, and provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement. Blood cells are formed within bones. Bones store minerals.
Figure 1.3b
Skeletal muscles
(c) Muscular System Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression. Maintains posture, and produces heat.
Figure 1.3c

Brain
Spinal cord
Nerves
(d) Nervous System As the fast-acting control system of the body, it responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands.
Figure 1.3d
Pineal gland Thyroid gland Thymus Adrenal gland Pancreas

Testis
Pituitary gland
Ovary
(e) Endocrine System Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells.
Figure 1.3e
Heart
Blood vessels (f) Cardiovascular System Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc. The heart pumps blood.
Figure 1.3f
1/22/2011
Red bone marrow
Thymus Lymphatic vessels Thoracic duct Spleen
Lymph nodes
(g) Lymphatic System/Immunity Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood. Disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream. Houses white blood cells (lymphocytes) involved in immunity. The immune response mounts the attack against foreign substances within the body.
Figure 1.3g
Nasal cavity Pharynx Larynx Trachea Lung Bronchus
(h) Respiratory System Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide. The gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs.
Figure 1.3h
Oral cavity Esophagus
Liver Stomach Small intestine Large intestine
Rectum Anus
(i) Digestive System Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells. Indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces.
Figure 1.3i
1/22/2011
Kidney Ureter
Urinary bladder Urethra
(j) Urinary System Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood.
Figure 1.3j
Mammary glands (in breasts) Prostate gland Ovary Penis Testis Scrotum Ductus deferens Uterine tube
Uterus Vagina
(l) Female Reproductive System (k) Male Reproductiv e System Overall function is production of offspring. Testes produce sperm and m ale sex horm one, and m ale ducts and glands aid in delivery of sperm to the fem ale reproductive tract. Ovaries produce eggs and fem ale sex horm ones. The rem aining fem ale structures serve as sites for fertilization and developm ent of the fetus. Mam m ary glands of fem ale breasts produce m ilk to nourish the new born.

Organ Systems Interrelationships

All cells depend on organ systems to meet their survival needs Organ systems work cooperatively to perform necessary life functions
1/22/2011
Digestive system Takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and eliminates unabsorbed matter (feces) Food
Respiratory system Takes in oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide O2 CO2
Cardiovascular system Via the blood, distributes oxygen and nutrients to all body cells and delivers wastes and carbon dioxide to disposal organs
Blood
CO2 O2 Urinary system Eliminates nitrogenous wastes and excess ions
Heart Nutrients
Interstitial fluid
Nutrients and wastes pass between blood and cells via the interstitial fluid Integumentary system Protects the body as a whole Urine from the external environment
Feces

Homeostasis Maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment despite continuous outside changes A dynamic state of equilibrium
Homeostatic Control Mechanisms

Involve continuous monitoring and regulation of many factors (variables) Nervous and endocrine systems accomplish the communication via nerve impulses and hormones

Components of a Control Mechanism

1. Receptor (sensor)
Monitors the environment
Responds to stimuli (changes in controlled variables)
2. Control center
Determines the set point at which the variable is maintained
Receives input from receptor

Determines appropriate response
Components of a Control Mechanism 3. Effector

Receives output from control center Provides the means to respond Response acts to reduce or enhance the stimulus (feedback)
4 Output: 3 Input: Information Information sent along Control sent along afferent efferent pathway to Center pathway to control effector. center. Afferent Efferent pathway pathway 2 5 Receptor Effector Receptor Response detects of effector change. feeds back 1 to reduce Stimulus the effect of BALANCE produces stimulus change in and returns variable. variable to homeostatic level.

Negative Feedback
The response reduces or shuts off the original stimulus Examples:
Regulation of body temperature (a nervous mechanism)
Regulation of blood volume by ADH (an endocrine mechanism)

Control Center (thermoregulatory center in brain) Afferent pathway Efferent pathway
Information sent along the efferent pathway to effectors
Receptors Temperature-sensitive cells in skin and brain
Effectors Sweat glands Sweat glands activated Response Evaporation of sweat Body temperature falls; stimulus ends
Stimulus
Body temperature rises Response Body temperature rises; stimulus ends BALANCE

Control Center (thermoregulatory center in brain)
Figure 1.5
Negative Feedback: Regulation of Blood Volume by ADH Receptors sense decreased blood volume Control center in hypothalamus stimulates pituitary gland to release antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
ADH causes the kidneys (effectors) to return more water to the blood
Positive Feedback
The response enhances or exaggerates the original stimulus May exhibit a cascade or amplifying effect
Usually controls infrequent events e.g.:

Enhancement of labor contractions by oxytocin (Chapter 28) Platelet plug formation and blood clotting

1 Break or tear occurs in blood vessel w all.
Positive feedback cycle is initiated.
3 Released chem icals attract m ore platelets.
Positive feedback loop
2 Platelets adhere to site and release chem icals.
Feedback cycle ends w hen plug is form ed.

Disturbance of homeostasis
Increases risk of disease Contributes to changes associated with aging May allow destructive positive feedback mechanisms to take over (e.g., heart failure)
