Organization of the Human Body • cell: basic unit of all life • tissue: similar cells that perform a specific task • organ: two or more kinds of tissue that together perform special body functions • system: a group of organs that work together to perform complex body functions
Body Cells • The human body is composed of trillions of cells of various sizes and shapes • cell membrane: boundary of a cell • cytoplasm: makes up the body of a cell • nucleus: structure in center containing chromosomes
Types of Tissue • connective tissue: connects, supports, penetrates, and encases various body structures • epithelial tissue: found in the skin and lining of the blood vessels muscle tissue: produces movement nervous tissue: conducts impulses to and from the brain
Types of Tissues Epitheli/o Neur/o Fibr/o My/o
Organization of the Human Body (cont’d) • chromosomes: 46 in human cells except for mature sex cell, which has 23 • genes: regions within the chromosome (determine hereditary characteristics) • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid): each gene is composed of DNA, a chemical that regulates the activities of the cell
Body Cavities • cranial: brain • spinal: spinal cord • thoracic: heart, lungs, esophagus, trachea, bronchi • abdominal: stomach, intestines, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, ureters • pelvic:urinary bladder, certain reproductive organs, part of large intestine, rectum
Body Cavities cranial Dorsal thoracic diaphragm spinal abdominal pelvic

Analyzing Terms Which Appear to Be Built From a Prefix and Suffix “neoplasm” is built from what looks like a prefix and a suffix: the word root is embedded in the suffix. S(WR) is used in the “Building Medical Terms” exercises to indicate this.
Pronunciation Guide • The following is a simple guide to use for practicing pronunciation of the medical terms. • The pronunciations are only approximate; however, they are adequate to meet the needs of the beginning student • In respelling for pronunciation, words are minimally distorted to indicate phonetic sound Example: doctor (dok-tor), gastric (gas-trik)
Pronunciation Guide (cont’d) • Diacritical marks are used over vowels to indicate pronunciation. The macron (―) is used to indicate the long vowel sounds. Example:donate (dō-nāte) hepatoma (hep-a-tō-ma) ā as in ate, say ē as in eat, beet, see ī as in i, mine, sky ō as in oats, so ū as in unit, mute
Pronunciation Guide (cont’d) • Vowels with no markings have the short sound. Example:discuss (dis-kus) medical (med-i-kal) a as in at, lad e as in edge, bet i as in itch, wish o as in ox, top u as in sun, come
Pronunciation Guide (cont’d) • An accent mark is the stress on a certain syllable. The primary accent is indicated by capital letters, and the secondary accent (which is stressed, but not as strongly as the primary accent) is indicated by italics. Example: altogether (all-tū-GETH-er) pancreatitis (pan-krē-a-TĪ-tis)

Project: You will look up one type of specific cancer and do an informational Powerpoint Slide You will sign up for the cancer by using the message board on Blackboard and you will turn in the slide using the digital drop box feature of Blackbaord What you must have in the presentation is the cancer type (duh), prevalence of the cancer, what it’s symptoms are, the treatment of the cancer, outlook for the patient with the cancer. Also correct pronciation and breaking down of the word (name)
