CHAPTER 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY OBJECTIVES 1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology‚ and explain their relationship using an example of a human structure with its corresponding function. 2. List‚ in order from least to most complex‚ the levels of structural organization‚ discuss the relationship between the levels‚ and name an example at each level. 3. List the 11 organ systems of the human organism‚ name the major organs within each‚ and give a general

1.1 The skin is the largest organ of the body and it acts as a waterproof protector for all the internal organs and it consist of four distinct layers: The epidermis‚ the basement membrane zone‚ the dermis and the subcutaneous layer. The epidermis which is the outer layer and is a protective multi-layered self-renewing structure which varies in thickness depending on which part of the body it covers. The dermis is underneath the epidermis‚ this is a layer of connective tissue which provides the

I. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HEART I. LOCATION OF THE HEART The heart is located in the chest between the lungs behind the sternum and above the diaphragm. It is surrounded by the pericardium. Its size is about that of a fist‚ and its weight is about 250-300 g. Its center is located about 1.5 cm to the left of the midsagittal plane. Located above the heart are the great vessels: the superior and inferior vena cava‚ the pulmonary artery and vein‚ as well as the aorta. The aortic arch lies

Harvey (1578-1657) discovered how blood circulates through the body. These are just a few of the many contributors who added to our understanding of the human body and how it functions. Anatomy is the study of the structure or morphology of the body and how the body parts are organized. | | | Physiology is the study of the functions of body parts‚ what they do and how they do it. These two areas of the organization of the body are so closely associated that it is difficult to separate them

WEEK 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 1. Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of body and parts‚ while physiology is the study of how the body work and function‚ their relationship is seen for example in the heart‚ there are two valves (anatomy) and these two valves help the heart pump blood. 2. The atom is the smallest particle of an element. An example is carbon ( C ) which is the building block of life. A group of atoms could form for example‚ a water molecule

Anatomy and Physiology are probably 2 of many different sciences necessary for the best understanding of the human body and how it functions. So I believe that in order to compare two things‚ you need to explain what each are first. ANATOMY is the study of the human body. It can also be defined as being the study of how various parts of the body interact and work together. PHYSIOLOGY is the study of how living organisms function. That includes nutrition‚ movement‚ and reproduction. So you are pretty

Unit 5: Anatomy and Physiology (P4) Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body In this task I am going to discuss the three systems involved in energy metabolism in the body. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + O2 = E + CO2 + H2O OR Glucose + Oxygen = Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water In order to release energy we need glucose which is a simple carbohydrate that is produced after digestion of food and we also need oxygen
