Study of the structure of the body parts and how these parts are
Anatomy
related to each other
Physiology Study of the function of body parts, how they work
Function will always be reflected in structure (what a structure is
Principle of Complementarity capable of doing depends on its form)Ex: Muscles can contract
because they have contractile units
Ability to maintain stable, favorable internal conditions even
Homeostasis
though there are changes in the external environment.
Stimulas produces change in variable
Receptor detects change
Input Information sent along afferent pathway to control center
Output Information sent along efferent pathway to effector
feeds back to reduce the effect of stimulus and returns variable
Response
to homeostatic level
Negative Feedback brings condition back to normal level
Positive Feedback takes condition further from normal
Toward the head end or upper part of
a structure or the body; above Ex: The
Superior (cranial)
head is superior to the abdomin
Away from the head end or toward the
lower part of a structure or the body;
Inferior (caudal)
below Ex: The navel is inferior to the
chin
Toward or at the front of the body; in
front of Ex: The breastbone is anterior
Ventral (anterior)
to the spine
Toward or at the back of the body;
behind Ex: the heart is posterior to the
Dorsal (posterior)
breastbone.
, Toward or at the mid-line of the body;
on the inner side of. Ex: the heart is
Medial
medial to the arm.
Away from the mid-line of the body;
on the outer side of. Ex: the arms are
Lateral
lateral to the chest.
Between a more medial and a more
lateral structure. Ex: the collarbone is
Intermediate
intermediate between the breastbone
and shoulder
Closer to the origin of the body part
or the point of attachment of a limb to
Proximal
the body trunk. Ex: the elbow is
proximal to the wrist.
Farther from the origin of a body point
of attachment of a limb to the body
Distal
trunk. Ex: the knee is distal to the thigh.
toward or at the body surface. Ex: the
skin is superficial to the skeletal
Superficial (external)
muscles.
away from the body surface; more
internal.Ex: the lungs are deep to the
Deep (internal)
skin.
divides body into Left/Right
Sagittal Plane
Divides body into Anterior/Posterior
Frontal (coronal) Plane
Divides body into Superior/Inferior
Transverse Plane
Acid Substance that releases or "donates" H+
Bases Substances that take up or "accept" H+
pH scale measures the hydrogen ion
concentration [H+]Range: 0 (acidic) to
pH scale
14 (basic)
Maintaining blood pH Involves the respiratory and urinary systems
-binds to H+ ions if solution is too acidic
blood buffers
-releases H+ ions if solution is too basic
Contain carbon-hydrogen bonds Ie:
-Proteins
Organic Compounds -Carbohydrates
-Lipids
-Nucleic Acids
