Anatomy

the study of the structures making up an organisms body.

Physiology

the study of the functions of each structure

Cell

smallest unit of life

Tissues

groups of similar cells working together

Organ

two or more tissues working together

Homeostasis

maintenance of a stable, internal environment

Describe the organization of an animal body from the simplest to the most complex levels

1. chemical: atoms. molecules & bonding


2. cells: smallest unit of life


3. Tissues: group of similar cells working together


4. Organ: two or more tissues working together


5. Organ Systems: organ teams working together to preform vital body functions


6. Organism: a living individual


List the four main types of animal (human) tissues.

Epithelial


Connective


Muscle


Nervous

Epithelial: Location, Function & Structure

Location: covering the body lining & organ & body cavities (skin)


Function: protective barrier


Structure: cells tightly packed in one or more layers

Connective: Location, Function & Structure

Location: throughout body, most abundant tissue


Function: binds tissues together & support organs


Structure: widely scattered cells in a mixture of extracellular materials (matrix)


Connective

CT=cells+protein fibers + ground substance

Muscle: Location, Function & Structure

Locations: depends on type


Function: move body/parts or material through body


Structure: long, cylindrical cells fairly close together

Nervous: Location, Function & Structure

Location: brain, spinal cord, nerves


Function: conduct electrical messages


Structure: large neurons(for conduction) & smaller (neuro) glial cells to aid the neurons

11 Organ Systems

1. Cardiovascular system


2. Respiratory system


3. Digestive system


4. Urinary system 5. Skeletal System


6. Muscular system 7. Integumentary system


8. Lymphatic system 9. Nervous system


10. Endocrine system


11. Reproductive system

Cardi0vascular system function

transport materials within the body

Respiratory system function

gas exchange of O2 and CO2

Digestive system function

breaks down food & absorbs nutrients

Urinary system fuction:

removes liquid wastes

Skeletal system function:

supports body, anchors muscles & protects internal organs

Muscular system function:

movement

Integumentary system function:

protects body and temperature control

Lymphatic and Immune system:

defends body

Nervous system function:

controls body function

Endocrine system function:

regulates body through hormones

Reproductive system function:

produce gametes and offsprings

Homeostasis

Maintenance of stable, internal environment


Importance: Survival depends on specific temperature & mixture of solutes

What is set point?

ideal value or range for optimal function

5 Part Mechanism for performing homeostasis

1. Stimulus


2. Receptor


3. Control Center


4. Effector


5. Response

Body temperature - homeostatic mechanism

1. Set point - Body temp near 37


2. Stimulus: body temp below set point


3.


4. Control center in brain activates warming


5. Response: 1)blood vessels constrict 2)person shivers 3) metabolic rate increase


6 Body temp rises
