    This document provides an introduction to anatomy and physiology by discussing: 1) Anatomy studies body structures and their relationships, while physiology studies body functions and how structures work together. 2) The human body is organized at chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, system, and organism levels. Cells are the basic units that form tissues like muscle and nerve tissue. Organs consist of tissues and work together in organ systems. 3) All living organisms maintain life through common processes like metabolism, responsiveness, movement, growth, differentiation, reproduction, and homeostasis.

    Intro to Anatomy and

    Physiology
    Organization of the Human Body
    Chapter 1
    What is anatomy and physiology?

    Anatomy is the science of body parts and


    the relationships among structures.
    Physiology is the science of body
    functions and how the body parts work.
    Because function can never be separated
    from structure, these are both studied
    together.
    Each structure of the body is designed for
    a specific function.
    Levels of Organization and Body Systems

    The structures of the human body are


    organized on several levels.
    Smallest to largest:
    Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, system,
    and organism.
    Chemical
    Includes atoms and molecules
    Certain atoms are essential for
    maintaining life.
    Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and
    calcium are the main ones.
    DNA is responsible for all the genetic
    material in our bodies.
    Cellular

    Cells are the basic unit of structure and


    function of an organism.
    Each cell contains organelles which
    perform specific functions.
    Tissues

    Tissues are groups of specialized cells


    that get together to perform a specific
    function.
    There are 4 basic types of tissues.
    Epithelial, connective, muscle and
    nervous
    Organ

    Organs usually have a recognizable


    shape, are composed or two or more
    specific types of tissues, and have a
    specific function.
    Organ system
    A system consists of related organs that
    have a common function.
    The organs work together.
    Organism

    All systems in the body join together to


    create the organism.

    What processes do all living
    organisms have in common?
    Life Process
    All living organisms
    Metabolism: sum of all chemical
    processes
    Responsiveness or adaptation: detect
    and respond to changes in internal or
    external body
    Movement
    Growth
    Differentiation: cells become
    specialized for specific functions
    Reproduction
    Homeostasis
    Maintaining a stable environment
    Balance constantly adjusted at all
    levels
    Interaction of systems
    Feedback Systems
    Negative
    Reverses
    change
    in
    controlled
    system
    Positive feedback
    Strengthens a change in a controlled
    condition
