 Anatomy:
 Tomy- “to cut”
 Ana- “apart”

The Human Body – An Orientation
 Anatomy – study of the structure and shape of
the body and its parts
 Physiology – study of how the body and its
parts work or function
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The Human Body – An Orientation
 Anatomy – study of the structure and shape of
the body and its parts
 Ex: Parts of a heart
 Physiology – study of how the body and its
parts work or function
 Ex: How the heart pumps blood

The Human Body
 Structure determines what function can occur
 Ex: Hand- hinges enable grasping and
picking up.

Levels of Organization
 Atoms  molecules - organelles 
cells  tissues  organs  organ
systems  organism
 Groups of cells that perform a function
are tissues
 Groups of tissues that perform a function
are organs
 Groups of organs that perform a function
are organ systems.

 Organ systems do not work in isolation. They
function together. They contribute to each of
the life functions necessary to remain healthy
and alive.

 Endocrine
 Reproduction

 Production of future generation
 Replacing damaged & worn out
cells
 Reproduction of cells is essential for
the health & survival of an
organism. But reproducing
offspring is not; it is necessary for
survival of a species, of course.
 Growth
 Increasing of cell size and number
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Survival Needs
 Nutrients
 Chemicals for energy and cell building
 Includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids,
vitamins, and minerals
 Oxygen
 Required for chemical reactions
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Survival Needs
 Nutrients
 Chemicals for energy and cell building
 Includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids,
vitamins, and minerals
 Food necessary to provide (C6H12O6)
glucose for cellular respiration
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Survival Needs
 Oxygen
 Required for chemical reactions
 O2 necessary in cellular respiration to
make ATP energy.
 20% of air is O2
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Survival Needs
 Water
 60–80% of body weight
 Provides for metabolic reaction
 Stable body temperature
 Atmospheric pressure must be appropriate
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Survival Needs
 Water
 60–80% of body weight
 H2O is most abundant compound in
body.
 Provides for metabolic reaction
 Necessary for chemical reactions to
occur.
 Also transports heat
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Survival Needs
 Stable body temperature
 98◦F (37◦C); changes ↑ or ↓ interfer with
metabolism
 Atmospheric pressure must be appropriate
 Air pressure is necessary to inhale. We
could not breath in a vacuum.
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Homeostasis
 Maintenance of a stable internal environment
= a dynamic state of equilibrium
 Homeostasis must be maintained for normal
body functioning and to sustain life
 Homeostatic imbalance – a disturbance in
homeostasis resulting in disease
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Homeostasis
 Ability to maintain stable internal conditions,
even when external environment changes.
 Homeo – “the same”
 Stasis – “standing still”
 Ex: Body Temperature, Water content, Waste
levels, Nutrient supply
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Overview of Homeostasis
Figure 1.4
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Maintaining Homeostasis
 The body communicates through neural and
hormonal control systems
 Receptor
 Responds to changes in the environment
(stimuli)
 Sends information to control center
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Maintaining Homeostasis
 Control center
 Determines set point
 Analyzes information
 Determines appropriate response
 Effector
 Provides a means for response to the
stimulus
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Feedback Mechanisms
 Negative feedback
 Includes most homeostatic control
mechanisms
 Shuts off the original stimulus, or reduces
its intensity
 Works like a household thermostat
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Feedback Mechanisms
 Positive feedback
 Increases the original stimulus to push the
variable farther
 In the body this only occurs in blood
clotting and birth of a baby

The Language of Anatomy
 Anatomical Position Body upright
 Feet flat & parallel
 Arms at sides
 Palms forward
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
The Language of Anatomy
 Special terminology is used to prevent
misunderstanding
 Exact terms are used for:
 Position
 Direction
 Regions
 Structures
Copyright © 2006 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
 Directional Terms are used to explain where a
body part is in relation to another.
 (See Page 14 in Textbook)
