NERVOUS SYSTEM
- brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory receptors
CHAPTER 1: THE HUMAN BODY: AN
- FAST ACTING control system
ORIENTATION
- Responds to internal & external s:muli
- SENSORY RECEPTORS – detects changes
ANATOMY - is the study of the structure and - Messages are sent to the CENTRAL NERVOUS
shape of the body (large body structures) SYSTEM – assesses informa:on & ac:vates
effector
PHYSIOLOGY - is the study of how the body and ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
its parts work or funcDon - secretes chemical molecules called
hormones into the blood
GROSS ANATOMY - is the study of anatomical - Body Func9ons controlled by hormones:
structures that can be seen by the naked eye o Growth
o Reproduc9on
MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY - is the study of Dny o use of nutrients
anatomical structures such as 9ssues and cells - Endocrine Gland includes:
o Pituitary Gland
LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION o Thyroid & Parathyroid
o Adrenal Gland
o Thymus
o Pancreas
o Pineal Gland
o Ovaries & Testes
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
- Heart – pumps blood; blood vessels –
transports blood to 9ssues
- Blood transports oxygen & carbon dioxide,
nutrients, & hormones
NASAL FLARING – nostrils widen while
breathing
RBC – hemoglobin & oxygen
WBC – fights infec9on
PLATELETS – for blood cloPng
INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM PLASMA - liquid por9on of blood
- external covering of the body (skin)
including the hair and fingernails ARTERY – carries blood AWAY from the heart
- waterproofs the body (malinis)
- cushions and protects the deeper 9ssues VEINS – carries blood TOWARDS the heart
- sunlight = produces vitamin D (madumi)
- excretes salts in perspira9on (sweaDng)
- regulate body temperature LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
- Sensory receptors located in the skin alert - lympha9c vessels, lymph nodes, lymphoid
us to what is happening at the body surface. organs
SKELETAL SYSTEM (206 BONES) - returning leaked fluids to bloodstream
- bones, car9lages, and joints - lymph nodes/other lymphoid organs help to
- supports the body & provides a framework cleanse the blood
that causes movement - house WBC involved in immunity – resist
- protects vital organs (ex. Skull) against infec9on
- sites where blood cells are formed ARTERY/VEINS – maliit
- acts as a storehouse for minerals (CALCUIM) ARTERIOLES/VENULES – Malaki
MUSCULAR SYSTEM (620 MUSCLES) CELL has a SEMI PERMEABLE MEMBRANE
- to contract, or shorten for movements to occurs – allows small par9cles to pass through
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM 4. DIGESTION – breakdown & absorp9on of
- nasal passage, pharynx, larynx, trachea, nutrients
bronchi, lungs 5. METABOLISM – chemical reac9ons within
- supplies oxygen; remove carbon dioxide the body
- ALVEOLI – allows exchange of gasses - - Breaks down complex to
- ASPIRATION - something enters your airway smaller molecules
or lungs - - Build larger from smaller
molecules
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - - Produces ATP
- Oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small &
large intes9ne, rectum, accessory organs 6. EXCRETION – eliminates excreta (waste)
- Breaks down food through urine, feces, sweat
- Allows nutrient absorp9on to blood 7. REPRODUCTION – occurs on cellular
- Eliminates indiges9ble material (feces) organism level
CARBS/SUGAR – glucose o Cellular – new cells are used for growth
PROTIEN – amino acids and repair
FATS – faUy acids o Organism – reproduc9ve system
handles the task
URINARY SYSTEM 8. GROWTH – increases the cell size or body
- Kidney, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra size (increase no. of cells)
- Eliminates nitrogenous waste
- Maintains acid-base balance SURVIVAL NEEDS
- Regulates water & electrolyte balance 1. NUTRIENTS – chemicals used for
- Regulate normal blood pressure (renin) energy and cell building (carbs,
proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals)
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM – produce offspring 2. OXYGEN – required for chemical
reac9on
- - coopera9on of respiratory
& cardiovascular
3. WATER – 60% to 80% of body weight
- - most abundant chemical
- - fluid base for se/excre9on
4. NORMAL BODY TEMP – 37°C or 98.6 F
Below – can make a reac9on slow
and stop
Above - chemical reac9ons
proceeds to rapidly
5. ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE – must be
appropriate for gas exchange
MAINTAINING LIFE: NECESSARY LIFE FUNCTIONS
1. MAINTAINING BOUNDARIES – separates LANGUAGE OF ANATOMY ANATOMICAL
“inside” from “outside” POSITION – standard posi9on used to avoid
2. MOVEMENT – locomo9on (loc to another) confusion
- - Movement of substance - - posi9on regardless of the actual body
3. RESPONSIVENES (irritability) – ability to posi9on
sense change & react
VasoconstricDon - narrowing of blood ORIENTATIONAL & DIRECTIONAL TERMS
vessels (taas bp) SUPERIOR (cephalic) – upper part; above
VasodilaDon – widening of blood vessels INFERIOR (caudal) -lower part; below
(baba bp) ANTERIOR (ventral) – in front of
SepDcemia – infec9on in blood POSTERIOR (dorsal) – behind
MEDIAL – midline of the body
LATERAL – away from the midline of the body MEDIASTINUM – separates lungs into lep
INTERMEDIATE – a more medial & more lateral and right cavi9es
SUPERFICIAL (external) – at body surface - ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY – inferior to
DEEP (internal) – more internal diaphragm
- ABDOMINAL CAVITY – stomach, liver,
intes9ne & other organs
- PELVIC CAVITY – reproduc9ve organs,
bladders, rectum
OTHER BODY CAVITIES
PARANASAL SINUSES
- Hollow por9ons of bones surrounding the
nasal cavity
- Func9ons of paranasal sinuses
o Lighten the skull
o Amplify sounds made as we speak
HYOID BONE
- The only bone that does not ar9culate with
another bone
- Serves as a movable base for the tongue
PRIMARY CURVATURES
§ Spinal curvatures of the thoracic
and sacral regions
§ Present from birth
§ Form a C-shaped curvature in
newborns
