Chapter 1 Introduction To Anatomy and Physiology
PHYSIOLOGY
1
▪Anatomy deals with the
structure (morphology) of the
body and its parts, in other
words, “what are things
called?”
2
▪Gross Anatomy
▪Microscopic Anatomy
▪Developmental Anatomy
▪Pathological Anatomy
▪Macroscopic Anatomy
▪It is the study of structures
observed with the naked eye,
without using any instrument or
gadget to aid in our observation.
3
▪It is the study of structures
observed with the aid of a
microscope or other similar
devices and/or equipment that aid
to magnify very small things, which
the naked eye may not see.
4
▪It is the study of the structural
changes from conception in the
mother’s womb to birth.
▪Embryology – study of
developmental changes of the
body before birth
5
▪Cellular Physiology
▪Developmental Physiology
▪Pathological Physiology
6
▪It is the study of the changes in
function that occur as an
organism develops.
7
▪ Used to assess aspects of body structure
and function
▪ Inspection of the body to observe any
changes
▪ Palpation
▪ Gently touching body surfaces with hands
▪ Auscultation or
▪ listening to body sounds (stethoscope)
▪ Percussion
▪ Tapping on the body surface with fingertips and listening to
echoes
8
▪ Metabolism
▪ Sum of all the chemical process that occur in the body
▪ Catabolism or the breakdown of complex chemical substances
into simpler components
▪ Anabolism or the building up of complex chemical substances
from smaller, simpler components
▪ Responsiveness
▪ Body’s ability to detect and respond to changes
▪ Decrease in body temperature
▪ Responding to sound
▪ Nerve (electrical signals) and muscle cells (contracting)
▪ Movement
▪ Motion of the whole body
▪ Organs, cells, and tiny subcellular structures
▪ Leg muscles move the body from one place to another
▪ Growth
▪ Increase in body size
▪ Due to an increase in existing cells, number of cells, or
both
▪ In bone growth materials between cells increase
9
▪ Differentiation
▪ Development of a cell from an unspecialized to
specialized state
▪ Cells have specialized structures and functions that differ from
precursor cells
▪ Stem cells give rise to cells that undergo differentiation
▪ Reproduction
▪ Formation of new cells (growth, repair, or replacement)
▪ Production of a new individual
▪ Example
▪ Blood glucose levels range between 70 and 110 mg
of glucose/dL of blood
▪ Whole body contributes to maintain the internal
environment within normal limits
10
▪ Maintaining the volume and composition of body
fluids are important
▪ Body fluids are defined as dilute, watery solutions
containing dissolved chemicals inside or outside of the
cell
▪ Blood Plasma
▪ ECF within blood vessels
▪ Lymph
▪ ECF within lymphatic vessels
▪ Synovial fluid
▪ ECF in joints
11
▪ Cellular function depends on the regulation of
composition of interstitial fluid
▪ Body’s internal environment
▪ Composition of interstitial fluid changes as it
moves
▪ Movement back and forth across capillary walls
provide nutrients (glucose, oxygen, ions) to tissue cells
and removes waste (carbon dioxide)
▪ Physical insults
▪ Intense heat or lack of oxygen
▪ Changes in the internal environment
▪ Drop in blood glucose due to lack of food
▪ Physiological stress
▪ Demands of work or school
▪ Disruptions
▪ Mild and temporary (balance is quickly restored)
▪ Intense and Prolonged (poisoning or severe infections)
12
▪ Cycle of events
▪ Body is monitored and re-monitored
▪ Each monitored variable is termed a
controlled condition
▪Receptor
13
▪Control Center
▪ Brain
▪ Sets the range of values to be maintained
▪ Evaluates input received from receptors and
generates output command
▪ Nerve impulses, hormones
▪ Brains acts as a control center receiving nerve
impulses from skin temperature receptors
▪Effector
14
▪Each individual uses homeostatic
mechanisms to keep body levels
within a normal range; normal
ranges can vary from one
individual to the next.

Organization
▪ Chemical level – atoms form molecules
▪ Cellular level – cells and their functional subunits
▪ Tissue level – a group of cells performing a common
function

than one tissue
▪ Organ system – organs working together for a
common purpose
▪ Organismal level – the result of all simpler levels
working in unison

▪ Helps regulate body temperature.
24
▪The muscular system
▪Consists of all the muscles in the
body
▪Provide body movement,
posture, and body heat.
25
▪The endocrine system
▪ Including all of the glands
that secrete hormones
▪Helps to integrate metabolic
functions
26
▪The lymphatic system
▪Consisting of lymphatic vessels,
lymph nodes, thymus, and
spleen, drains excess tissue fluid
▪Includes cells of immunity.
27
▪The respiratory system
▪Exchanges gases between the
blood and air
▪Made up of the lungs and
passageways.
28
▪The reproductive system
produces new organisms.
▪Male Reproductive System
▪Female Reproductive System
29
▪The female reproductive system
consists of ovaries, uterine tubes,
uterus, vagina, and external genitalia.
Anatomical position –
a common visual
reference point
30
Regional terms – names of specific body
areas
• Axial region – the main axis of the body
• Appendicular region – the limbs
Directional terminology
• Refers to the body in anatomical
position
• Standardized terms of directions are
paired terms
▪ Relative Positions:
1. Terms of relative position are used to
describe the location of a part relative to
another part.

the cavity
▪ Subcostal line (top horizontal) inferior to rib
cage
