WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS IT? You’re body is divided into many

parts that have different functions. So stop on by and make sure to meet

everyone!

Time: 1st Period Date: 9/10/12

Anatomy is the study of the body’s structure.

Physiology is the study of the body’s functions.

You’re Invited to Anatomy

& Physiology’s Block

Party!

BODY ORGANIZATION

The body is organized in a

certain way and is helpful in

locating different parts of the

body. Come celebrate with us

at each area!

Follow these directions!

Directional

Terms

Anterior (ventral) To the front or in front

Posterior (dorsal) To the rear or behind

Superior (cephalic) Above

Inferior (caudal) Below

Cephalic (the head)

Lateral Away from the median plane or

midline

Medial Towards the median plane or midline

Distal Further away from the trunk or root of

the limb

Proximal Closer to the trunk or root of the

limb

Superficial Closer to the surface of the body

or skin

Deep further away from the body

Contralateral: Of or pertaining to the other

side.

ipsilateral: On the same side

You Are Located Here!

Anatomical

Directional

Picture Anatomical directional terms

like an compass rose on a map.

There's a North, South, East and

West to describe the locations of

structures in reaction to other struc-

tures location in the body. Anatomi-

cal direction is also used to identify

body planes. Like anterior, and

Posterior.

Meet the internal parts of the

human body

The metabolic balance

maintained by several

processes. The internal

conditions in a human body are

kept constant such as the body

temperature, water balance,

blood sugar levels, and blood

pH.

Homeostasis

We welcome you to seven

different levels of the body

following the chemical

(atom, molecule,

macromolecule), organelle,

cell, tissue, organ, organ

system, and complete

organism. The organelle

level can be an example of

mitochondrion (power

house), ribosome, and

lysosome.

Human Or-

ganization

Take a Look at Life!

Characteris-

tics of Life

Life is considered a charac-

teristic of organisms that ex-

hibit organization, metabo-

lism, responsiveness, growth,

development, reproduction,

cellular composition, and bio-

chemical unity. All these

things together up make the

human body.

Thank You!

We thank you so much for joining in with us, at our block party.

Hope you had a good time exploring with us!
