A N A T O M Y
- dissect, cut apart, and separate parts of the body for study.
- study of the structure and shape of the body and body parts and their relationship to one another.
Covers a wide range of studies:
- Structures of body parts
- Microscopic organization
- Process by which they develop
- Examines the relationship between the structure of a
body part and its function
CHAPTER 1
Anatomy and physiologY
Subdivisions
Gross Anatomy
-Large, easily observable structures (heart, bones, muscles etc.)
Microscopic Anatomy
-Use of microscope or magnifying instrument to see very small objects (cells and tissues)
TWO BASIC APPROACHES in studying
Systemic Anatomy
Regional Anatomy
Two basic approaches in studying anatomy
SYSTEMIC ANATOMY
- study of the body by system.
Nervous Digestive
Muscular Integumentary
Skeletal Respiratory
Regional Anatomy
- Study of the body by areas.
Head Thorax Upper Extremities
Abdomen pelvis lower Extremities
2 Procedures to examine the internal structures of a living person:
1. SURFACE ANATOMY
- Study of external features, which serves as landmarks for locating deeper structures.
2. ANATOMICAL IMAGING
- involves the use of x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Ultrasound machine and other technologies to create pictures of the internal structures
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
X-RAY MACHINE
Computerized Axial Tomography (CT Scan)

- the scientific discipline that deals with the processes or functions of living things.
Divided according to:
1. The organisms involved;
Human physiology – the study of specific organisms, the human.
2. The levels of organization within a given organism.
Cellular & systemic physiology – emphasize specific organizational levels.
Major goals of Physiology are:
(1) To understand and predict the body’s responses to stimuli;
(2) To understand how the body maintains conditions within the narrow range of values in the presence of a continually changing environment.
ORGANIZATION OF THE HUMAN BODY:
A. CHEMICAL
A. ATOM
- Tiny building blocks of matter.
- Combine to form molecules like water, sugar, proteins;
B. CELLS
- Smallest unit of living things.
C. TISSUES
- Groups of similar cells that have a common function.
D. ORGANS
- a structure consisting 2 or more types of tissues performing a specific type of function.
E. SYSTEM
- group of organs that cooperate accomplish a common purpose.
F. ORGANISM
- Is any living thing considered as a whole
- made up by a group of organ systems.

Characteristics of Life
♦ Organization
♦ Metabolism
♦ Responsiveness
♦ Growth
♦ Development
♦ Reproduction
Necessary Life Functions
• Maintaining boundaries
- every cell of the body is surrounded by external membrane that contains its contents & allows needed substances in while restricting unnecessary substances or potentially damaging substances.
• Movement
- includes all activities promoted by the muscular system.
• Responsiveness
- ability of the organism to sense changes in the environment & make adjustments that help maintain its life.
• Digestion
- breaking down of food ingested into simple molecules capable of being absorbed by the body.
• Excretion
- process of removing excreta or wastes from the body.
• Reproduction
• - formation of new cells & organisms.
• Metabolism
- Ability to use energy to perform vital functions such as growth, movement & reproduction.
• Growth
- an increase in size of all or part of the organism. It can result to an increase in cell number, size or the amount of substances surrounding the cells.
Homeostasis
homeo – the same
stasis – standing
-Ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions even though the outside world is constantly changing
Variables
Set point – ideal normal value
Normal Range
HOMEOSTATIC CONTROL MECHANISMS
2 Kinds of Mechanisms:
1. Negative Feedback Mechanism
- functions to maintain homeostasis - any deviation from the set point is made smaller or is resisted. It does not prevent variation but rather it keeps variation within normal range.
e.g. maintenance in BP
Maintenance in Body Temp.
3 Components of the Negative-feedback Mechanism
(1) Receptor – monitors the value of a variable
(2) Control System - establishes the set point around which the variable is maintained.
(3) Effector – can change the value of the variable.
2.) POSITIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
- Not homeostatic & are rarely in healthy individuals.
- Positive implies that when a deviation from a normal value occurs, the response of the system is to make the deviation even greater. Positive feedback therefore usually creates a cycle leading away from homeostasis & in some cases results in death.
HOMEOSTATIC IMBALANCE
• What is Homeostatic Imbalance?
Disturbance to homeostasis that results to disease
THE LANGUAGE OF ANATOMY
ANATOMICAL TERMS
A. Anatomic position (standard body position)
- refers to person standing erect with the face directed forward, the upper limbs hanging to the sides, & the palms of the hands facing forward.
Body positions:
ق Supine – lying with face upward.
ق Prone – lying with face downward.
B. Planes of Division
1. Directional Terms
ق Superior - means above
ق Inferior - means below
ق Anterior/Ventral - means front
ق Posterior/dorsal - means back
ق Proximal - means nearest
ق Distal - means farthest
ᴥ Medial - means towards the midline
ᴥ Lateral - means away from the midline or side
ᴥ Superficial – close to the surface of the body
ᴥ Deep - toward the interior of the body
