ANATOMY OVERVIEW
ANATOMY study of the structure of the body parts & relationship to one another

Gross/macroscopic Microscopic Developmental (structural changes throughout life)

PHYSIOLOGY study of function of the bodys structural machinery - Considers operation of specific organ systems i.e. Renal kidney function - Focuses on functions of body at cellular/molecular level GROSS ANATOMY - REGIONAL all structures in one part of body i.e. abdomen or leg - SYSTEMIC studied by system - SURFACE study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin MICROSCOPIC - CYTOLOGY study of the cell - HISTOLOGY study of tissues STRUCTURE GOVERNS FUNCTION WHAT A STRUCTURE CAN DO DEPENDES ON SPECIFIC FORM - Chemical atoms combined to from molecules - Cellular cells made of molecules - Tissue consists of similar types of cells - Organ made up of different types of tissues - Organ system consists of different organs that work together - Organismal made up of the organ systems

ORGAN SYSTEMS OF THE BODY

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM (Hair, Skin, Nails) External body covering, protects deeper tissue from injury, synthesises vit D Site of cutaneous (pain receptors), sweat & oil glands SKELETAL SYSTEM (Bones, Joints) Protects/supports body organs Framework for muscle use to cause movement Blood cells formed in bones, stores minerals MUSCULAR SYSTEM (Skeletal muscles) Manipulation of the environment, locomotion, facial expressions Maintains posture & heat

NERVOUSE SYSTEM (Brain, sensory receptor, Nerves, Spinal cord) Fast acting control system of the body Responds to external/internal changes by activating appropriate muscles, glands ENDOCRINE SYSTEM (Thyroid gland, Pineal gland, Pituitary gland, Thymus, Adrenal gland, Pancreas, Ovary, Testis) Glands secrete hormones regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, nutrient use(metabolism) by body cells CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM (Heart, Blood vessels) Blood vessels transport blood carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes etc. The heart pumps blood LYMPHATIC SYSTEM/IMMUNITY (Red bone marrow, Thymus, Lymphatic vessels, Thoracis duct, Spleen, Lymph nodes) Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels & returns it to blood Disposes of debris in lymphatic stream Houses white blood cells(Lymphocytes) involved in immunity Immune response mounts attack against foreign substances within body RESPIRATORY SYSTEM (Nasal cavity, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Lung, Bronchus) Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen, removes carbon dioxide Gaseous exchanges occur through walls of the air sacs in lungs DIGESTIVE SYSTEM (Oral cavity, Esophagus, Liver, Stomach, Small intestine, Large intestine, Rectum, Anus) Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter blood for distribution to body cells Indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as faeces UNINARY SYSTEM (Kidney, Urinary bladder, Urethra, Ureter) Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body Regulates water, electrolyte & acid base balance of the blood MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (Prostate glands, Ductus deferens, Scrotum, Penis, Testis) Production of offspring Testis produce sperm & male sex hormone Ducts & glands aid in delivery of sperm to female reproductive tract FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (Mammary glands, Ovary, Uterine tube, Uterus, Vagina) Ovaries produce eggs & female sex hormone Remaining structures serve as sites for fertilization & development of fetus Mammary glands produce milk to nourish newborn

SURVIVAL NEEDS
Nutrients chemical substances used for energy/cell building Oxygen needed for metabolic reactions Water provides necessary environment for chemical reactions Maintain normal body temperature necessary for chemical reactions to occur at life sustain rates Atmospheric pressure required for proper breathing, gas exchange in lungs

HOMEOSTASIS

The ability to maintain relatively stable internal environment in an ever changing outside world Internal environment in a dynamic state of equilibrium Chemical, thermal, neural factors interact to maintain homeostasis

HOMEOSTATIC CONTROL MECHANISMS Variable produces change in body Three interdependent components of control mechanisms 1. Receptor monitors environments responds to changes (stimuli) 2. Control centre determines set point at which variable is maintained 3. Effector provides means to respond to stimulus

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK - In negative feedback systems output shuts off original stimulus e.g. regulation of blood glucose levels POSTIVE FEEDBACK - In positive feedback systems, output enhances/exaggerates original stimulus e.g. regulation of blood clotting
