Anatomy and Physiology ??
Anatomy : the study of structure
Physiology : the study of function
- The labs will mainly deal with Anatomy
- Coordinated by Dr. Corey Johnson
- Self-work with 3D models
- Short assignment on Bb BEFORE the lab
- Short quiz on the day of the lab
- First lab: second week
In the lectures….
Grading
25% x 3 exams = 75%
lab exercises and exams = 25%
(Participation in class?)
Lectures are important
No notes provided
Use the ppt handouts
Answer review questions
THINK!!!

How to study for this class
Big picture (concepts)
Details
Big picture (how all the details work together)
- Answer the review questions
- Use the book and your friends to review the material
- Make sure you do NOT memorize unnecessary details
- Follow this pattern for each section
(system/subsystem)

Grades
Registration
-Sign-up sheet available up front
- Those with relevant needs have priority
1. Major requirement – e.g. nursing
2. Otherwise: Seniors > Juniors >
Sophomores
- Being pre- (med, dental, vet, ophthalmology,
etc.) does not constitute a priority
Poll Everywhere
• Answering my questions in the classroom via
text messages/website
• Multiple choice and free text
• Follow the guidelines posted on the website
and on Blackboard (use your Onyen email
address)
• Participation is mandatory
What are we going to study this semster?
Two key take home messages
Two key take home messages
1) Function follows form
Two key issue during the semester
1) Function follows form
2) The most important term in physiology
Homeostasis
WB Cannon
How the varied components of
living things adjust to maintain a
constant internal environment
that makes possible optimal
functioning
So we have a balanced state, but it
is NOT static!!
Homeostatic Imbalances = Diseases (e.g. diabetes)

- Immune system
- Respiratory system
- Digestive system

- General organization
- The basic units- the cells
- Neurophysiology
- Neural interactions
Brain, Spinal cord, Neuronal pathways, Special senses

Neurons
“The Mysterious Butterflies of the Soul”
Santiago Ramón y Cajal
(1852-1934)
“As the entomologist chasing butterflies of bright
colors, my attention was seeking in the garden of
gray matter, those cells of delicate and elegant forms,
the mysterious butterflies of the soul, whose
fluttering wings would someday—who knows?—
enlighten the secret of mental life”
Neurons
“The Mysterious Butterflies of the Soul”
Santiago Ramón y Cajal
Nobel prize in
physiology and
medicine 1906
The neuron
Most of our wiring is insulated
Myelin sheath
Myelin sheath
• Whitish, fatty (protein-lipoid), segmented
sheath around most long (NOT ALL) axons
• It functions to:
- Protect the axon
- Electrically insulate fibers from one another
- Increase the speed of nerve impulse transmission
Myelin sheath
• Formed by Schwann cells in
the PNS
• A Schwann cell:
- Envelopes an axon in a trough
- Has concentric layers of
membrane that make up the
myelin sheath
Axons are bundled together to form fascicles
CNS: axon bundles form tracts
PNS: axon bundles form nerves
Neurons are not alone
Neurons are not alone:
The supporting neuroglia
CNS
Astrocytes
- Support and brace neurons
- Anchor neurons to their nutrient supplies
- Guide migration of young neurons
- Control the chemical environment
Microglia
The “Immune System” of the CNS
- Small, ovoid cells with spiny processes
- Turn into phagocytes upon inflammation
(monitor the health of neurons, in the absence
of macrophages, due to the BBB)
Ependymal cells
- Ciliated epithelial cells
lining the central cavities of
the brain and spinal column
- Forming a permeable
barrier between the CSF
and nervous tissue
- Beating cilia helps
circulating the CSF
CSF
(cerebrospinal fluid)
-Beating cilia helps circulating the CSF

Banizs et al. Development (2005)

Neurons are Not Alone:
The supporting neuroglia
CNS
Oligodendrocytes
- Insulators of the thick
neurons of the CNS
- A single oligodendrocyte
can form myelin sheaths
around several axons
The supporting neuroglia in the CNS
The supporting neuroglia in the PNS
- Schwann cells
surround and insulate axons
(the “oligodendrocytes” of the PNS)
- Satellite cells
Support an nourish cell bodies (“astrocytes”
of the PNS)
