Study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts and their relationships to one another
Anatomy
Study of large body structures
Gross Anatomy
Meaning of Anatomy
Ana = apart, Tomy = To cut
Study of body structures too small to be seen with the naked eye
Microscopic Anatomy
Study of how the body and its parts work or function
Physiology
Meaning of Physiology
Physi = Origin/Nature, Ology = Study of
(LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION)
Atoms combine to form molecules
Chemical Level
(LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION)
Cells are made up of molecules
e.g. smooth muscle cell
Cellular Level
(LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION)
Tissues consist of similar types of cells
e.g. smooth muscle tissue
Tissue Level
(LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION)
Organs are made up of different types of tissues
e.g. Blood vessels
Organ Level
(LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION)
Consists of different organs that work together closely
e.g. Cardiovascular System
Organ System Level
(LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION)
Human organisms are made up of organ systems
Organismal Level
External covering of the body or skin
Integumentary System
Waterproofs the body, produces Vitamin D via sunlight, and excretes salt in perspiration
Integumentary System
Provides framework for skeletal muscles to cause movement
Skeletal System
This organ system also has protective functions, such as the skull protecting the brain
Skeletal System
This organ system also has cavities which are sites where blood cells are formed
Skeletal System
To contract or shorten, which initiates movement. When these contract, you are able to stand erect,
walk, jump, grasp, throw a ball, or smile. This also moves fluids
Muscular System
Fast-acting control system
Nervous System
Consists of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sensory receptors
Nervous System
Responds to stimuli coming from outside the body (such as light, sound, or changes in temperature) and from inside (decrease in oxygen or stretching of tissue)
Nervous System
_______ detect changes (temperature, pressure, etc.) and sends messages via nerve impulses to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)
Sensory Receptors
Sensory Receptors detect changes (temperature, pressure, etc.) and sends messages via nerve impulses to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)
Nervous System
Sensory Receptors detect changes (temperature, pressure, etc.) and sends messages via _______ to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord)
Nerve Impulses
The ________ system assesses the information sent by the sensory receptors via nerve impulses which then responds by activating the appropriate body effectors
Nervous System
Similar to the nervous system, These glands produce chemical molecules called hormones and release them into the blood to target organs. What organ system is this?
Endocrine System
Includes the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, thymus, pancreas, pineal, ovaries (female), and testes (male).
Endocrine System
Heart and blood are primary organs
Cardiovascular system
Using _____ as the carrier, this system delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other substances to, and picks up wastes such as carbon dioxide from, cells near sites of exchange. What organ system is this?
Cardiovascular system
In this organ system, white blood cells and chemicals help to protect the body from viruses, bacteria, and tumor cells.
Cardiovascular system
The heart propels blood out of its chambers into blood vessels
Cardiovascular system
Its organs include lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and other lymphoid organs such as spleen and tonsils.
Lymphatic System
When fluid is leaked into tissues from the blood, lymphatic vessels return it to the bloodstream, so there is enough blood to circulate the body
Lymphatic System
