Anatomy vs. PhysiologyAnatomy: structurePhysiology: function

The size, shape, and position of a structure directly related to function Ex. The wiring of a window screen allows

air to pass through but keeps bugs out. The circular shape of a wheel allows it to

roll.

How does structure relate to function with regard to:

The skull? Our hands? Our joints? The heart? The intestines?

A problem with the structure of a body part may affect its function.

Apply this concept to the five structures above

What is disease?

Disease: abnormalities of body structure or

function that prevent the body from maintaining the internal stability that keeps us alive and healthy

a disruption of homeostasis caused by infection, genetics, environmental stress

What is disease?

If you break your arm, do you have a disease?

Pathology: the scientific study of disease

Nautical Directional TermsWrite directions to a specific freckle/spot!

Aft:1: The portion of the vessel behind the middle area of the vessel.2: Towards the stern (of the vessel).

  Amidships (or midships): In the middle portion of ship, along

the line of the keel. Astern/stern:

1: Toward the stern (rear) of a vessel.2: Behind a vessel.

Bow: The front of a ship. Fore: Front Port: left Starboard: right Transom: side of ship

Avast, ye mateys!

Anatomical Directions Proximal—toward the

trunk of the body Distal—away from the

trunk of the body

The shoulder is proximal to the elbow.

The foot is distal to the knee.

In four legged animals:

Anterior = toward the head

Posterior = toward the tail

Anatomical DirectionsAnterior/ventral—frontPosterior/dorsal—backThe patella (kneecap) is anterior to the calcaneus (heel).

The occiput is posterior to the mouth.

Anatomical DirectionsSuperficial—toward the

surface of the bodyDeep—away from the surface

of the body.

The skin is superficial to the fat. The heart is deep to the ribcage.
