studied in this class
– some genetic variations

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY DEFINED
• Anatomy
– the study of structure and the relationships
among structures.

• Subdivisions
– surface anatomy, gross anatomy, systemic
anatomy, regional anatomy, radiographic anatomy,
developmental anatomy, embryology, cytology,
and pathological anatomy.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY DEFINED

include
– cell physiology, systems
physiology, pathophysiology,
exercise physiology,
neurophysiology, endocrinology,

1.4: Characteristics of Life (10)
• Movement – change in position; motion
• Responsiveness – reaction to a change
• Growth – increase in body size; no change in
shape
• Reproduction – production of new organisms
and new cells
• Respiration – obtaining oxygen; removing
carbon dioxide; releasing energy from foods
• Differentiation – unspecialized to specialized

1.5: Maintenance of Life
• Life depends on five (5) environmental
factors:
•
•
•
•
•

Water
Food
Oxygen
Heat
Pressure

Basic Life Processes
• Homeostasis
Equilibrium of the body’s internal environment
produced by the interaction of organ systems
and regulatory processes (feedback systems).
Homeostasis is a dynamic condition in response
to changing conditions.
The two body systems that largely control the
body’s homeostatic state:
1. Nervous system
2. Endocrine system

Control of Homeostasis
• Homeostasis is continually being disrupted by
– external stimuli
• intense heat, cold , and lack of oxygen
– internal stimuli
• psychological stresses
• exercise
• Disruptions are usually mild & temporary
• If homeostasis is not maintained, death may result

Requirements of Organisms
• Water
•
- most abundant substance in body
•
- required for metabolic processes
•
- required for transport of substances
•
- regulates body temperature
• Food
•
- provides necessary nutrients
•
- supplies energy
•
- supplies raw materials

CONTROL OF HOMEOSTASIS
• Homeostatic imbalances occur because of disruptions from
the external or internal environments.
– Homeostasis is regulated by the nervous system and
endocrine system, acting together or independently.
– The nervous system detects changes and sends nerve
impulses to counteract the disruption.
– The endocrine system regulates homeostasis by secreting
hormones.
• Whereas nerve impulses cause rapid changes, hormones
usually work more slowly.
• Examples: CO2, O2, temperature, pH, blood pressure, …

Homeostatic Imbalances
• Disruption of homeostasis can lead to disease and death.
• Disorder is a general term for any change or abnormality of
function.
• Disease is a more specific term for an illness characterized by
a recognizable set of signs and symptoms.
– A local disease is one that affects one part or a limited
region of the body.
– A systemic disease affects either the entire body or several
parts.

Homeostatic Imbalances
• Disease is a more specific term for an illness characterized by
a recognizable set of signs and symptoms.
– Signs are objective changes that a clinician can observe
and measure; e.g., fever or rash.
– Symptoms are subjective changes in body functions that
are not apparent to an observer; e.g., headache or nausea.
• Diagnosis is the art of distinguishing one disease from
another or determining the nature of a disease; a diagnosis is
generally arrived at after the taking of a medical history and
the administration of a physical examination.
