27
Structural levels of organization

• Organization is an outstanding characteristic of
  body structure
• The body is a unit made up of the following
  smaller units
• Cells-the smallest structural units
  organizations of various chemicals
• Tissues-organizations of similar cells
• Organs-organizations of different kinds of tissue
• Systems- organizations of many different kinds of
  organs

28
Anatomical Position

• Standing erect with the feet slightly apart and
  arms at the sides with the palms turned forward
• See figure 1-2 on page 4 of the text.

29
Anatomical Directions

• Superior-toward the head, upper, and above
• Inferior-toward the feet, lower, below
• See page 6 of the text.

30
Anatomical Directions

• Anterior-front, in front of (same as ventral in
  humans)
• Posterior-back, in back of (same as dorsal in
  humans)

31
Anatomical directions

• Medial-toward the midline of a structure
• Lateral-away from the midline or toward the side
  of a structure
• See Figure 1-3 on page 9

32
Anatomical directions

• Proximal-toward or nearest the trunk, or nearest
  the point of origin of a structure
• Distal- away from or farthest from the trunk, or
  farthest from a structures point of origin

33
Planes or Body Sections

• Sagittal plane-lengthwise plane that divides a
  structure into right of left sections
• Midsagittal-sagittal plane that divides the body
  into two equal halves

• Frontal (coronal) plane lengthwise plane that
  divides a structure into anterior and posterior
  sections
• Transverse plane-horizontal plane that divides a
  structure into upper and lower sections

34
Body cavities

• Ventral cavity
• Thoracic cavity
• Mediastinum--midportion of thoracic cavity heart
  and trachea located in mediastinum
• Pleural cavitiesright lung located in right
  pleural cavity, left lung in left pleural cavity

35
Body Cavities

• Ventral cavity
• Abdominopelvic cavity contains stomach,
  intestines, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, and
  spleen
• Pelvic cavity contains reproductive organs,
  urinary bladder, and lowest part of intestine

• Dorsal cavity
• Cranial cavity contains brain
• Spinal cavity contains spinal cord
• Table 1-1 Body Cavities on page 10.

36
Body Regions

• Axial regionhead, neck, and torso or trunk
• Appendicular regionupper and lower extremities
  such as legs and arms
• See Figure 1-6 page 13 of the text

37
Homeostasis

• The bodys ability to maintain an internal
  environment for proper function.
• All organs function to maintain homeostasis
• If homeostasis is lost at any level, then the
  whole body is affected.

• Body functions are related to age peak
  efficiency is during young adulthood, diminishing
  efficiency occurs after young adulthood
• Ultimate loss of homeostasisDEATH

38
Question????What would happen to the body or a
system NOT in homeostasis?
39
Organ Systems of the Body

• Integumentary System (See Figure 4-2)
• Structureorgans include
• Skin, Hair, Nails, Sense receptors, Sweat glands,
  Oil glands
• What are the functions????

40
Organ Systems

• Skeletal System (Figure 4-3)
• Structures include
• Bones and Joints
• What are the functions????

41
Organ systems

• Muscular System (Figure 4-4)
• Structures include
• 3 types of muscle
• Voluntary or striated
• Involuntary or smooth
• Cardiac
• What are the functions?????

42
Organ Systems

• Nervous system (Figure 4-5)
• Structures include
• Brain, Spinal cord, Nerves, Sense organs

• What are the functions?????

43
Organ systems-Endocrine system

• Structures include
• Pituitary gland
• Pineal gland
• Hypothalamus
• Thyroid gland
• Parathyroid gland
• Thymus gland
• Adrenal gland

• Pancreas
• Ovaries (female)
• Testes (male)
• See Figure 4-6
• What are the functions?

44
Homeostasis

• Survival of the individual is the bodys most
  important business
• Survival depends on the maintenance or
  restoration of homeostasis (relative constancy of
  the internal environment Figure 1-9) the body
  uses negative feedback loops and, less often,
  positive feedback loops to maintain or restore
  homeostasis
