  1. Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology

  2. Anatomy – the structure of body parts (also called Morphology) • Physiology – the function of the body parts, what they do and how they do it

  3. Anatomy & Physiology Body Systems Standards • B2.3d Identify the general functions of the major systems of the human body (digestion, respiration, reproduction, circulation, excretion, protection from disease, and movement, control, and coordination) and describe ways that these systems interact with each other. • B2.3e Describe how human body systems maintain relatively constant internal conditions (temperature, acidity, and blood sugar). • B2.3f Explain how human organ systems help maintain human health. • B2.3g Compare the structure and function of a human body system or subsystem to a nonliving system (e.g., human joints to hinges, enzyme and substrate to interlocking puzzle pieces).

  4. Movement - self initiated change in position, motion of internal parts • Responsiveness (irritability) - Ability to sense changes within, or around the organism and react to them • Growth - increase in body size • Reproduction - Parents produce offspring / producing new individuals • Respiration - Obtaining oxygen (O2), using it to release energy from food substances, and getting rid of wastes

  5. Digestion - Chemically changing (breaking down) food substances, and getting rid of wastes • Absorption - Passage of Digested products (food substances) through membranes and into body fluids • Circulation - Movement of substances throughout the body • Assimilation - Changing absorbed substances into chemically different substances • Excretion - Removal of wastes

  6. I am walking to Mcdonalds (movement) • I stop at the traffic light (response) • My body is growing (growth) • I am breathing air (respiration) • I get a hamburger and eat it (digestion) • My body absorbs the hamburger (absorption) • The hamburger circulates in my body (circulation) • The hamburger is changed to things my body needs (assimilation) • Eventually, I go to the bathroom (excretion) • Someday I may reproduce (reproduction)

  7. Metabolism = all the physical and chemical changes • Bodily needs = food, oxygen, water, heat • Homeostasis = tendency of the body to maintain a stable, balanced, internal environment. “Sameness”

  8. Axial Portion - head, neck, trunk • Appendicular Portion - arms & legs • 1. Several body cavities2. Layers of membranes within cavities3. Variety of organs and organ systems within cavities (VISCERA = internal organs. "Visceral organs")

  9. Popular in horror movies and games

  10. Body Cavities Dorsal  = back side Ventral = front side Thoracic = chest (heart, trachea, lungs..) Abdomen = stomach area (spleen, intestines) Pelvic = lower abdomen (bladder, reproductive organs) DIAPHRAGM:  Separates the thoracic and pelvic region SEROUS MEMBRANE - covers and surrounds organsSEROUS FLUID  - lubricates organs

  11. It's easier to visualize the body cavities on pictures -  see Body Cavity Label | Label 2 Label the body cavities (use your book)

  12. Serous Membrane - two layered, covers organs • Outer layer = parietal • Inner layer = visceral (lines the organs) • Serous fluid – lubricating fluid

  13. Pleura = lungs • Pericardium = heart • Peritoneum = organs (abdominopelvic region)

  14. Visceral Pleura /  Parietal Pleura Visceral Pericardium /  Parietal Pericardium Visceral Peritoneum /  Parietal Peritoneum

  15. Homework: Organ Systems Concept Map

  16. Anatomical TerminologyAnatomical Position = standing erect, face forward, arms at side, palms facing forward*Study and learn the following terms* 1. Superior 2. Inferior 3. Anterior 4. Posterior 5. Medial 6. Lateral 7. Proximal 8. Distal9. Superficial10. Deep

  17. Homework: Fill out the chart on the body regions
