Week 1: Organization of the Human Body Flashcards
it is the science of body structures
and the relationships among them
Anatomy
it is the science of body functions–
how body parts work
Physiology
Organization of the Human Body Content
- Selected Subspecialties of Physiology
- Level of structural organization
- Organ System of the human body
- Basic Life Process
- Basic Anatomical Terminologies
The first 8 weeks of
development following
fertilization of an egg
Embryology
The complete development of an
individual from fertilization of an egg
to death
Development Biology
Cellular structure and functions
Cell Biology
Surface markings of the body to
understand internal anatomy
through visualization and
palpation
Surface Anatomy
Structures that can be
examined without using a
microscope
Gross Anatomy
Structure of specific systems of
the body such as the nervous
Systemic Anatomy
Functional properties of nerve cells
Neurophysiology
Hormones and how they control
body functions
Endocrinology
Functions of the heart and blood
vessels
Cardiovascular Physiology
How the body defends itself against
disease-causing agents
Immunology
Functions of the kidneys

Organ-Systems of the HumanBody
- Integumentary System
- Skeletal System
- Muscular System
- Nervous System
- Respiratory System
- Digestive System
- Cardiovascular System
- Endocrine System
- Lymphatic System
- Urinary System
- Reproductive System
Functions: protects
the body; helps
regulate body
temperature;
eliminates some
wastes; helps make
Vit D; and detects
sensations such as
touch, pain, warmth,
and cold.
Integumentary System
Functions: supports
and protects the
body; provides a
surface area for
muscle attachments;
aids body
movements; houses
cells that produce
blood cells; stores
mineral and lipids
Skeletal System
Functions: Produces
body movements
such as walking;
stabilizes body
position; generates
heat
Muscular System
Functions:
Generates action
potentials (nerve
impulses) to regulate
body activities; detects
changes in the body’s
internal and external
environments,
interprets changes,
and responds by
causing muscular
contractions or
glandular secretions.
Nervous System
