Overview of Anatomy and Physiology
• AnatomyAnatomy – the study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another– Gross or macroscopic– Microscopic– Developmental
• PhysiologyPhysiology – the study of the function of the body’s structural machinery
![Page 3: The Human Body: Anatomical Regions, Directions, and Body Cavities](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56812c1f550346895d908527/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Gross Anatomy
• RegionalRegional – all structures in one part of the body (such as the abdomen or leg)
• SystemicSystemic – gross anatomy of the body studied by system
• SurfaceSurface – study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin

Microscopic Anatomy
• CytologyCytology – study of the cell
• HistologyHistology – study of tissues

Developmental Anatomy
• Traces structural changes throughout life
• EmbryologyEmbryology – study of developmental changes of the body before birth

Specialized Branches of Anatomy
• Pathological anatomyPathological anatomy – study of structural changes caused by disease
• Radiographic anatomyRadiographic anatomy – study of internal structures visualized by X ray
• Molecular biologyMolecular biology – study of anatomical structures at a sub-cellular level

Physiology
• Considers the operation of specific Considers the operation of specific organ systemsorgan systems– Renal – kidney function– Neurophysiology – workings of the nervous
system– Cardiovascular – operation of the heart and
blood vessels
• Focuses on the functions of the body, Focuses on the functions of the body, often at the cellular or molecular leveloften at the cellular or molecular level
![Page 8: The Human Body: Anatomical Regions, Directions, and Body Cavities](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56812c1f550346895d908527/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Physiology
• Understanding physiology also requires a knowledge of physics, which explains electrical currents, blood pressure, and the way muscle uses bone for movement
![Page 9: The Human Body: Anatomical Regions, Directions, and Body Cavities](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56812c1f550346895d908527/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Principle of Complementarity
• Function always reflects structure
• What a structure can do depends on its specific form

Homeostasis
• HomeostasisHomeostasis is the ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment in an ever-changing outside world
• The internal environment of the body is in a dynamic state of equilibriuma dynamic state of equilibrium
• Chemical, thermal, and neural factors interact to maintain homeostasis
![Page 13: The Human Body: Anatomical Regions, Directions, and Body Cavities](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56812c1f550346895d908527/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Homeostatic Imbalance
• Disturbance of homeostasis or the Disturbance of homeostasis or the body’s normal equilibriumbody’s normal equilibrium
• Overwhelming of negative feedback mechanisms allowing destructive positive feedback mechanisms to take over

Anatomical Variability
• Humans vary slightly in both external Humans vary slightly in both external and internal anatomyand internal anatomy
• Over 90% of all anatomical structures match textbook descriptions, but:
– Nerves or blood vessels may be somewhat out of place
– Small muscles may be missing
• Extreme anatomical variations are Extreme anatomical variations are seldom seenseldom seen

Body Cavities• Dorsal cavityDorsal cavity protects the nervous system,
and is divided into two subdivisions
– Cranial cavity is within the skull and encases the brain
– Vertebral cavity runs within the vertebral column and encases the spinal cord
• Ventral cavityVentral cavity houses the internal organs (viscera), and is divided into two subdivisions: - Thoracic and Abdominopelvic cavities
![Page 26: The Human Body: Anatomical Regions, Directions, and Body Cavities](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56812c1f550346895d908527/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Body Cavities
• Thoracic cavityThoracic cavity is subdivided into pleural cavities, the mediastinum, and the pericardial cavity
– Pleural cavities – each houses a lung
– Mediastinum – contains the pericardial cavity, and surrounds the remaining thoracic organs
– Pericardial cavity – encloses the heart
![Page 28: The Human Body: Anatomical Regions, Directions, and Body Cavities](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56812c1f550346895d908527/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Body Cavities• The abdominopelvic cavity is separated The abdominopelvic cavity is separated
from the superior thoracic cavity by the from the superior thoracic cavity by the dome-shaped diaphragmdome-shaped diaphragm
• It is composed of two subdivisions
– Abdominal cavity – contains the stomach, intestines, spleen, liver, and other organs
– Pelvic cavity – lies within the pelvis and contains the bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum

Ventral Body Cavity Membranes
• Parietal serosaParietal serosa lines internal body walls
• Visceral serosaVisceral serosa covers the internal organs
• Serous fluid separates the serosae
