  1. Chapter 7 Anatomy and Physiology

  2. 7:1 Basic Structure of the Human Body • The normal function of the human body is compared to an organized machine • The machine malfunctions, disease occurs • Anatomy: study of form and structure • Physiology: study of processes • Pathophysiology: study of how disease occurs and body’s response

  3. Anatomy • Topographic anatomy • Gross anatomy • Microscopic anatomy • Physiology • Homeostasis

  4. Protoplasm • Basic substance of life • Made of ordinary elements (e.g., carbon, oxygen, hydrogen) • Scientists can combine these elements, but not create life

  5. Cells • Made of protoplasm • Microscopic organisms • Carry on all functions of life • Body contains trillions of cells • Vary in shape and size • Perform different functions
