Transcript HOC 1 - 9 Tissues, Organs, Body Planes

Health Occupations
Tissues
Tissues
Cells of the same type form together for
a common purpose
 60 – 99% water with various dissolved
substances
 Dehydration – not enough tissue fluid
 Edema – too much tissue fluid

Types of tissue

Epithelial tissue
– Covers body surface
– Mainly skin
– Lines respiratory, intestinal, circulatory, &
urinary tract
– Also in glands to produce secretions
Types of tissue

Connective Tissue
– Support organs & other body parts
• Soft – adipose or fatty tissue
–
–
–
–
Stores fat
Insulates body
Acts as padding
Fibrous – ligaments, tendons
» Holds body structures together
• Hard – cartilage & bone
– Cartilage –
» Tough elastic material found between bones of spine
& ends of long bones
» Acts as shock absorber & allows flexibility
» Nose, ears, larynx – provides shape & form
Types of tissue

Hard connective tissue
– Bone
• Has calcium salts, nerves, blood vessels
• Called osseous tissue
• Helps to form body’s rigid structure

Liquid connective tissue – vascular
– Blood
• Carries nutrients & oxygen to cells
• Carries wastes & carbon dioxide away
– Lymph
• Transports tissue fluid, protein, fat, & other materials from
tissues to the circulatory system
Types of tissue

Nerve tissue
– Made up of neurons
– Controls & coordinates body activities by
transmitting messages through body
– Nerves, brain, spinal cord

Muscle tissue
– Produces power & movement by contracting
muscle fibers
– Types
• Skeletal – attaches to bones, allows body movement
• Cardiac – causes heart to beat
• Visceral – present in walls of respiratory, digestive,
urinary tracts & blood vessels
Systems of the body
Organs – 2 or more tissues joined
together to perform a specific function
 System – organs & body parts joined
together to perform a specific function
 Cells combine = tissue
 Tissues combine = organs
 Organs & parts combine = system

Systems of the body

Integumentary
– Protects body from injury, infection,
dehydration
– Regulates body temp
– Eliminates wastes
– Produces Vitamin D
– Organs – skin, sweat/oil glands, nails, hair
Body Systems

Skeletal
– Creates body framework
– Protects internal organs
– Produces blood cells
– Acts as lever for muscles
– Organs – bones, cartilage
Body Systems

Muscular
– Produces movement
– Protects internal organs
– Produces body heat
– Maintains posture
– Organs –
• Skeletal muscle
• Smooth muscle
• cardiac muscle

Sense receptors
Body Systems

Circulatory
– Carries oxygen & nutrients to body cells
– Carries waste & carbon dioxide away from body
cells
– Produces cells to fight infection
– Organs –

Body Planes
Imaginary lines drawn through the body
at various points to separate body into
sections
 Types
Transverse or axial
Midsaggital or median
Frontal or coronal

Transverse plane

Horizontal, divides body in top half &
bottom half
– Superior – body parts above other parts
– Inferior – body parts below other parts
– Cranial – towards head
– Caudal – body parts near sacral region or
tail
Midsaggital or Median plane

Vertical, divides body into right & left
– Medial – near midline
– Lateral – away from midline
– Proximal – close to midline
– Distal – away from midline
Frontal or coronal plane

Divides body into front & back
– Ventral – front side or stomach side
– Dorsal – back side
– Anterior – front side or stomach side
– Posterior – back side
Cavities of the body

