Intro to Medical Scienceac Intro to Medical Science Unit 1: Objectives • 1. Review the basic functions of living organisms • 2. Define Anatomy and Physiology and gain an understanding of the relationship between the two • 3. Identify major levels of organization in living organisms • 4. Understand the basic functions of the various systems in the body • 5. Explain the significance of Homeostasis • 6. Use anatomical terms to describe body orientation • 7. Identify major cavities of human body and their multiple subdivisions Characteristics of Life • Six common characteristics of living things Characteristics of Life • 1. Cellular organization- The ‘cell’ is the smallest unit that can be alive. The cells within a multicellular organism are arranged into tissues and organ systems • 2. Energy requirement- living organisms carry out cellular respiration which converts energy in food to a form that is useable by cells for life processes Characteristics of Life • 3. Interaction with the environment- living organisms depend on the environment for food and nutrients. Organisms must maintain a stable internal environment through homeostasis • 4. Reproduction- living organisms have the ability to reproduce more of their own kind Characteristics of Life • 5. Adaptation- Populations of living organisms are able to adapt to changing environmental conditions • 6. Growth and Development- Organisms grow from a single cell as an egg, to an adult with millions (or more) cells. Anatomy and Physiology • anatomy (n.)-The study of internal and external structures and the physical relationship between body parts. • physiology (n.)-The study of how living organisms perform their functions. Major Levels of Organization Atom Molecule Cells Tissue Organ Organ system Organism Major Levels of Organization • Atom and Molecule- chemical level of organization • Cells- smallest unit of life • Tissue- similar cells working together • Organ- two or more different tissues work together to perform specific functions • Organ system- multiple organs work together to perform specific functions • Organism- organ systems working in sync to create homeostasis Major Systems of the Body • Integumentary- skin, nails, hair – Protects and regulates temperature Major Systems of the Body • Skeletal- bones and cartilage – Support, protection, blood cell formation Major Systems of the Body • Muscular- muscle – Movement, support, creates heat Major Systems of the Body • Nervous system- Brain, spinal cord, nerves – Responds to stimuli, coordinates organ systems Major systems of the body • Endocrine system- glands – Directs long term changes in organ systems Major systems of the body • Cardiovascular system- heart, blood vessels – Transportation of materials through body Major systems of the body • Lymphatic system- lymph nodes, spleen – Immune system Major systems of the body • Respiratory system- lungs – Delivers air to gas exchange sites Major systems of the body • Digestive system- stomach, intestines, liver – Processes food and absorbs materials Major systems of the body • Urinary system- kidneys – Eliminates water, wastes, etc. Major systems of the body • Reproductive System – Creates sex cells and hormones Homeostasis • The existence of a stable internal environment. • Is it constant? – NO!! Unless you are dead. – It is constantly fluctuating Homeostasis • 3 Components to this regulation – 1. Receptor/Sensor- detects the change (body is getting too warm) – 2. Control center- receives and processes the signal from the receptor/sensor (usually the brain) and sends message to effector – 3. Effectors- responds to the commands of the control center and reverses the initial change (skin pores begin to perspire and blood vessels dilate) Homeostasis • Response can be either – opposition to stimulus or a Negative feedback loop – Reinforcement of stimulus or a Positive feedback loop Example: Household Thermostat Temperature Set point 68 degrees increases (stimulus) Temperature Thermometer senses decreases change (receptor) Thermostat turns AC on (control center) Set point 98.6 Outside temperature Degrees Decreases (stimulus) Detected by temperature Body temp stays receptors in skin constant (receptor) Muscle fibers contract Brain processes info generate heat and sends signal to (effectors) Body (control center) Homeostasis • Positive feedback loop- intensifies stimulus – Severe cut: signals more clotting factors – Labor: signals more contractions Homeostasis • Negative feedback loop- opposes the initial stimulus – Regulation of body temp. – Regulation of blood glucose levels – Regulation of CO2 levels in blood The Language of Anatomy Anterior front side The navel is on the anterior surface of the trunk. Ventral belly side The legs are located on the ventral side of the mink. Posterior back side The shoulder blade is located posterior to the rib cage.

Transverse plane- divides body into superior and inferior sections Transverse Plane PLANES OF THE BODY • 2. Frontal plane/Coronal Plane- divides body into anterior and posterior sections PLANES OF THE BODY • 3. Sagittal plane- divides the body into left and right sections Fun WebSite Quadrants of Abdomen • Abdominopelvic quadrants- four segments that intersect at umbilicus – Right upper quadrant – Right lower quadrant – Left upper quadrant – Left lower quadrant Quadrants of abdomen • For more precise regional distinctions, there are nine abdominopelvic regions used to describe the location of internal organs Body Cavities • Serve two functions – 1. Protect organs from accidental shocks and cushion them during walking, running, jumping, etc. – 2. Permit significant changes in size and shape of visceral organs Body Cavities • Two main body cavities formed during embryological development…each has various sub cavities Body Cavities • 1. Dorsal Body Cavity – Cranial cavity- encloses the brain – Spinal cavity- surrounds the spinal cord Body Cavities • 2.

  • The Digestive System
    69 chapter four THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is structurally divided into two main parts: a long, winding tube that carries food through its length, and a series of supportive organs outside of the tube. The long tube is called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract extends from the mouth to the anus, and consists of the mouth, or oral cavity, the pharynx, the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intes- tine. It is here that the functions of mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption of nutrients and water, and release of solid waste material take place. The supportive organs that lie outside the GI tract are known as accessory organs, and include the teeth, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Because most organs of the digestive system lie within body cavities, you will perform a dissection procedure that exposes the cavities before you begin identifying individual organs. You will also observe the cavities and their associated membranes before proceeding with your study of the digestive system. EXPOSING THE BODY CAVITIES should feel like the wall of a stretched balloon. With your skinned cat on its dorsal side, examine the cutting lines shown in Figure 4.1 and plan 2.

  • Circulatory System
    11/7/2014 Circulatory System 1 11/7/2014 Diffusion is insufficient for transporting substances over long distances It takes 1 second for glucose to diffuse from 100 micro meters It will take 3 hours to diffuse 1 mm! Circulatory systems solves this problem by ensuring that no substances has to diffuse very far toenter or leave the cell! And it connects the cells to the organs that exchange molecules. Transport in small invertebrates Sponges Cnidarians Flatworms 2 11/7/2014 Transport in invertebrates Roundworms Fluid contained within the body cavity of pseudocoelome functions to transport nutrients and wastes but these animals do not have a heart or blood vessels. Open Circulatory System blood is pumped from the heart through blood vessels but then it leaves the blood vessels and enters body cavities, where the organs are bathed in blood. Mollusks and arthropods: (except cephalopods) have an open circulatory system. 3 11/7/2014 Open Circulatory System Arthopods The coelom carries blood (hemolymph). It is called a hemocoel The blood of insects is colorless because it lacks respiratory pigments; it functions to carry nutrients, not gases. Crustaceans and some arachnids have hemocyanin a protein with copper, not within a cell Animals with open circulatory systems generally have limited activity due to limitations in the oxygen delivery capability Insects are able to be active because gas exchange is via a tracheal system. Closed Circulatory System Blood is contained within blood vessels. Valves prevent the backflow of blood within the blood vessels. This type of circulatory system is found in vertebrates and several invertebrates including annelids, squids and octopuses 4 11/7/2014 Closed Circulatory System Earthworms have a dorsal and ventral blood vessel that runs the length of the animal.

  • A Model of the Peritoneal Cavity for Use in Internal Dosimetry
    A Model of the Peritoneal Cavity for Use in Internal Dosimetry E. E. Watson, M. 0. Stabin, J. L. Davis@, and K. F. Eckerman Oak Ridge Associated Universities, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee Several therapeutic and diagnostic techniques involveinjectionof radioactive material into the pentoneal cavity. Estimation of the radiation dose to the surface of the pertioneum or to surrounding organs is hampered by the lack of a suitable source region in the phantom commonly used for such calculations. We have modified the Fisher-Snyder phantom to include a region representing the peritoneal cavity which may be employed to estimate such radiation doses. A geometric model is described which is coordinated with the existing organ regions in the phantom. Specific absorbed fractions (derived by Monte Carlo techniques) for photon emissions originatingwithinthe cavity are listed. Photon S-values for several radionuclides which have been administered intraperitoneally are shown. Dose conversion factors for electrons irradiating the pentoneal cavity wall, from either a thin plane or volume source of activity within the cavity, are also given for several nuclides.

  • Day 6 Urogenital System
    Day 6 Urogenital System: Urinary System The structures of the reproductive and urinary systems are often considered together as the urogenital systems, since they have common embryological origins. However, the emphasis in this dissection is on identifying the structures of the urinary tract with only a few references to contiguous reproductive structures. The anatomy of the reproductive system is studied in the next section. Identifying Organs of the Urinary System 1. Obtain your dissection specimen and place it on your dissection tray. Reflect the abdominal viscera (most importantly the small intestine) to locate the kidneys high on the dorsal body wall. Note that the kidneys in the cat, as well as in the human are retroperitoneal (behind the peritoneum). 2. Carefully remove the peritoneum, and clear away the bed of fat that invests the kidneys. Then locate the adrenal (suprarenal) glands that lie superiorly and medial to the kidneys. 3. Identify the renal artery (red latex injected), the renal vein (blue latex injected), and the ureter at the hilus region of the kidney. (You may find two renal veins leaving one kidney in the cat but not in humans). 4. Trace the ureters to the urinary bladder, a smooth muscular sac located superiorly to the small intestine. If your cat is a female, be careful not to confuse the ureters with the urine tubes, which lie superior to the bladder in the same general region. See Figure D8.1. Observe the sites where the ureters enter the bladder. How would you describe the entrance point anatomically? 5. Cut through the bladder wall, and examine the region of the uretheral exit to see if you can discern any evidence of the internal sphincter.
