Study Guide
Chapter 1 – Intro to Human Anatomy & Physiology
What is anatomy?
Means “to cut open” or “to dissect”
Deals with structure and organization of body parts
2 types of anatomy
Microscopic Anatomy
Macroscopic (Gross) Anatomy
What is physiology?
Study of the function of anatomical structures
FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION
Describe the relationship between form and function. Identify examples.
Know the major structures & functions of the 11 body systems
Integumentary system- protects underlying tissue, regulates body temperature, house a variety of sensory receptors, and synthesizes certain products
Skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, sebaceous glands
Skeletal system- Support and move body parts. Parts provide frameworks and protective shields for softer tissues, attaches muscles, and act with muscles when body parts move.
Bones, ligaments, cartilages
Muscular system- Contract and pull ends close together. Muscles provide forces that cause body movement. Maintains posture and body heat.
Muscles
Nervous system- Nerve cells within organs of system use electrochemical signals called nerve impulses to communicate with one another and with muscles and glands. Sensory neurons detect changes in and out of body. Nerves carry signals from brain to body.
Brain, spinal cord, nerves, sense organs
Endocrine system- Includes hormones that alter the metabolism of the target tissue.
Pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, testes, pineal gland, thymus gland
Cardiovascular system- Blood is transferred throughout the body as well as nutrients, gases, hormones, and wastes.
Heart, arteries, veins, capillaries, blood
Lymphatic system- transports tissue fluid back to blood stream and carries certain fatty substances away from the digestive organs. Also help remove disease causing microorganisms and viruses from tissue fluid.
Digestive system- Breaks down food into molecules and absorbs it for
