Introduction to Anatomy and PhysiologyThe journey begins!
Before We Begin…Some Helpful Hints
• Success in A&P is NOT guaranteed.• It takes HARD work, and good study skills• Study Skills:• Come to class having already read the material. READ
EVERY NIGHT• Study a little at a time. Trust me, cramming does NOT
work for A&P• Go home and review the materials WITHIN 24 HOURS• Help yourself by writing flash cards (there are great
apps for that!), drawing diagrams, recopying notes or even making up songs (I’m ATP, yeah you know me!)
You should be getting Foreign Language credit for this class!
• We will be using prefixes and suffixes over and over
• Learn the latin/greek roots well and life will be MUCH easier
• Ex: gluconeogenesis = gluco + neo + genesis• Gluco: sugar like glucose• Neo: new• Genesis: to make, produce, or generate• GLUCONEOGENESIS literally means “The production of
new glucose molecules from non-sugar substances”
See how easy that was??
What is Anatomy and Physiology?• Anatomy: The study of the
structure and shape of the human body and body parts, and their relationships to one another.
• In Greek: “ana” means apart, “tomy” means to cut.
• Gross -vs- Microscopic anatomy
Anatomy at Different Levels
What is Anatomy and Physiology?• Physiology: The study of how the body and its
parts work or function.• “physio” means nature, “ology” means the study
of.
Organization of the Body• Atoms – Molecules – Cells – Tissues – Organs – Organ
Systems – Organism• Organ Systems:
• Integumentary• Skeletal• Muscular• Nervous• Endocrine• Cardiovascular• Lymphatic• Respiratory• Digestive• Urinary• Reproductive
Necessary Life Functions• Maintaining boundaries• Movement• Respond to environmental changes• Take in and digest nutrients• Carry out metabolism • Excrete wastes• Reproduce• Grow
Survival Needs• Nutrients• Oxygen• Water• Correct temperature and atmospheric pressure
Homeostasis• The body’s ability to maintain a relatively stable
internal environment• 3 components:• Receptor• Control Center• Effector
• Negative Feedback vs Positive Feedback

• Plane: imaginary line used to section parts of the body or organs• Sections:• Midsagittal (median)• Frontal (coronal)• Transverse (cross or
horizontal)
