How to get the most out of BI234:

1) Come to class

2) Read the book before lecture

3) Do your best in lab (It’s 30% of your grade!)

If you take any medicines that

have nitrates in them (e.g.,

nitroglycerin for chest pain), you

should NOT take VIAGRA.

What is Anatomy and Physiology?

Anatomy: Study of internal / external structure and the physical relationships

between body parts

• Microscopic Anatomy (requires magnification…)

• Cytology = Study of cells

• Histology = Study of tissues

• Gross Anatomy (visible to naked eye…)

• Regional Anatomy = Study of structures in particular region (e.g., arm)

• Systemic Anatomy = Study of organ systems

Physiology: Study of how living organisms perform vital functions

The two disciplines are interrelated (structure dictates function...)

• Physical / chemical factors

• Cell physiology Special physiology System physiology

• Surface Anatomy = Study of internal structures as they relate to overlying

skin

Introduction

1) Cellular level

• Molecular interactions

2) Tissue level

• Similar cells specific function

3) Organ level

• 2 tissues specific function

4) Organ system level

• 2 organs specific function 5) Organism level

• Organ systems = life

Organ systems work cooperatively to promote

the well-being of the entire body

Introduction

Remember:

Digestive system:

Takes in nutrients, breaks

them down, and eliminates

unabsorbed matter

Respiratory system:

Takes in oxygen and

eliminates carbon dioxide

Urinary system: Eliminates nitrogenous wastes

and excess ions

Cardiovascular system:

Distributes oxygen and

nutrients to all cells; delivers

wastes and carbon dioxide

to disposal organs

Example:

ATP production

Food O2 CO2

CO2 O2

Feces Urine

For life to continue, precise internal body conditions

must be maintained regardless of external conditions

Homeostasis: The process of maintaining a relatively stable internal

environment (Cannon – early 20th century)

• Not a static process (dynamic equilibrium)

• Requires energy (unlike a true equilibrium state)

• Conditions maintained via feedback systems

The principle function of regulatory systems

is to maintain homeostasis

Atom: Fundamental structural unit of matter

• Composed of:

1) Protons: Positively charged; located in nucleus

2) Neutrons: No charge; located in nucleus

3) Electrons: Negatively charged; orbit nucleus

• Electrically neutral (# protons = # electrons)

Interaction among atoms depends on electron arrangements:

Electron Shells: Regions of space occupied by electrons around nucleus

• 1st shell = 2 electrons

• Subsequent shells = 8 electrons
