    Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology deals with the functions of living things. There are 11 major organ systems that work together from the chemical to organism level of organization. Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of stable internal conditions in the body through various regulatory mechanisms.

    Anatomy and Physiology

    1.1 ANATOM AND PHYSIOLOGY


    5. Organ system level
    Anatomy is the scientific discipline that investigates the Group of organs that together perform a common
    structure of the body. The word anatomy means to function or set of function.
    dissect, or cut apart and separate, the parts of the body
    for study. 6. Organism level
    Organ system make up an organism
    Two basic approaches to the study of anatomy:
    Eleven Major Organ Systems:
    Systemic anatomy is the study of the body by systems.
    Regional anatomy is the study of the organization of the 1. Integumentary system
    body by areas. 2. Skeletal system
    3. Muscular system
    Two general ways to examine the internal structures
    of a living person: 4. Nervous System
    5. Endocrine System
    Surface anatomy is the study of external features, such 6. Cardiovascular System

    9. Digestive System
    Anatomical imaging involves the use of x-rays, and 10. Urinary System
    other technologies to create pictures of internal 11. Reproductive System
    structures
    1.3 CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE
    Physiology is the scientific discipline that deals with the
    processes or functions of living things. 1. Organization refers to the specific interrelationships
    among individual parts of an organism, and how hose
    The major goals for studying physiology are: parts interact to perform specific functions.
    1. examining the body’s response to stimuli and; 2. Metabolism is the ability to use energy to perform
    2. examining the body’s maintenance of internal other vital functions, such as growth, movement, and
    condition. reproduction.

    1.2 STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL 3. Responsiveness is an organism’s ability to sense


    ORGANIZATION OF THE HUMAN changes in the external and internal environment and
    BODY adjust to those changes.

    1. Chemical Level 4. Growth refers to an increase in size of all or part of


    The chemical level of organization involves how the organism.
    atoms, such as hydrogen and carbon, interact and 5. Development includes the changes an organism
    combine into molecules undergoes through time.
    Differentiation involves changes in a cell’s structure and
    2. Cell Level function from an immature.
    Molecules from organelles, such as the nucleus and
    mitochondria, which make up cells. 6. Reproduction is the formation of new cells or new
    Cells are the basic structural and functional units of organism.
    organisms, such as plants and animals.

    3. Tissue Level
    Similar cells and surrounding materials make up tissues

    4. Organ Level
    Different tissues combine to form organs, such as the
    urinary bladder.
    1.4 HOMEOSTASIS

    Homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively constant


    environment within the body.

    Homeostatic mechanisms, such as sweating or


    shivering, normally maintain body temperature
    near an average normal value, or set point. Most
    homeostatic mechanisms are governed by the
    nervous system or the endocrine system.
