Anatomy & Physiology

Intro:

For next class period….

• Read pgs 2-4• Compare and contrast anatomy and physiology.• How would the role or duties of an anatomist

differ from that of a physiologist?• Describe the following subdivisions of anatomy:

gross, regional, systemic, surface.• Define the following prefixes and suffixes:

append-, cardi-, homeo-, -logy, pariet-, peri-, pleur-, -stasis, -tomy

Anatomy:

Physiology:

structure closely relates to function

Branches of Anatomy:

• Gross

• Histology

• Embryology

• Surface

Characteristics of Life

• Movement - self initiated change in position, motion of internal parts

• Responsiveness (irritability) - Ability to sense changes within, or around the organism and react to them

• Growth - increase in body size • Reproduction - Parents produce offspring / producing

new individuals • Respiration - Obtaining oxygen (O2), using it to release

energy from food substances, and getting rid of wastes

• Digestion - Chemically changing (breaking down) food substances, and getting rid of wastes

• Absorption - Passage of Digested products (food substances) through membranes and into body fluids

• Circulation - Movement of substances throughout the body

• Assimilation - Changing absorbed substances into chemically different substances

• Excretion - Removal of wastes

HOMEOSTASIS:

Metabolism

The Integumentary System

•

•

•

•

Skeletal

•

•

• Functions with muscles to move body parts

•

• Stores inorganic salts

•

•

•

Integrates and coordinates with the endocrine system

Secretes hormones that target a particular group of cells
