25
All systems working together
Organismal Level
26
How organisms interact with each other and their environment
Ecological level
27
All organ systems work together
Integration
28
ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment in an ever-changing outside world
Homeostasis
29
Failure to function within a normal range results in
Disease
30
Variables produce a change in the body
Homeostatic Control Mechanisms
31
monitors the environments and responds to changes (stimuli).
Receptor
32
determines the set point at which the variable is maintained
Control Center
33
provides the means to respond to stimuli
Effector
34
Usually occurs by negative feedback which can be modeled as a thermostat
Regulation
35
responses controlled by nervous and endocrine systems
extrinsic regulation
36
the response of the effector negates or opposes the stimulus (shuts off the original stimulus)
Negative Feedback
37
NOT a way to maintain homeostasis runaway train response of the effector output reinforces or exaggerates the stimulus (e.g. blood clotting, ovulation, action potential)
Positive Feedback
38
Disturbance of homeostasis or the body’s normal equilibrium Overwhelming the usual negative feedback mechanisms allows destructive positive feedback mechanisms to take over “disease”
Homeostatic Imbalance
39
What is the Anatomical Position?
Hands at sides, palms forward
40
toward and away from the head, respectively
Superior and Inferior
41
toward the front and back of the body
Anterior and Posterior
42
toward the midline, away from the midline
Medial and Lateral
43
closer to and farther from the origin of the body part (or from the torso)
Proximal and Distal
44
toward and away from the body surface
Superficial and Deep
45
toward the head and toward the tail
Cranial and Caudal
46
Ventral:
Anterior
47
Dorsal:
Posterior
48
Sometimes to gain a greater understanding of 3D images anatomists cut the image at different planes
Body Planes
49
parallel to long axis, divides the body into right and left parts
Sagittal
50
sagittal plane that lies on the midline
midsagittal or medial
51
also parallel to long axis, divides the body into anterior and posterior parts
Frontal or coronal
52
(cross section) – perpendicular to long axis, divides the body into superior and inferior parts
Transverse or horizontal
53
protects the nervous system, and is divided into two subdivisions
Dorsal cavity
54
within the skull; encases the brain
Cranial cavity
55
runs within the vertebral column; encases the spinal cord
Vertebral cavity
56
runs within the vertebral column; encases the spinal cord
Vertebral cavity
57
houses the internal organs (viscera),
Ventral cavity
58
Ventral cavity is divided into two subdivisions
Thoracic Abdominopelvic
59
serous membranes or serosa are
Ventral Body Cavity Membranes
60
Parietal serosa lines internal body walls Visceral serosa covers the internal organs Serous fluid separates the serosae
serous membranes or serosa
