Anatomical terminology © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 1.1 Origins of Medical Science • Early healers depended on superstition and magic. • Followed by observations of injuries, wound healing, and dead bodies. • This evolved into experimentation and creation of new terminology for anatomy & physiology. • Finally, study of corpses and cadaver dissection brought new knowledge of the human body. © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 1.2 Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy: The study of the structure/morphology of the human body and its parts; derived from Greek for “a cutting up” Physiology: The study of the functions of the human body and its parts; derived from Greek for “relationship to nature” The structure of organs and parts of the human body determines the function. © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 1.3 Levels of Organization All materials, living or non-living, are composed of chemicals, which consist of atoms. • Subatomic Particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up cells 아원자입자 • Atom: tiny particles that make up chemicals (hydrogen, carbon) • Molecule: particles consisting of atoms joined together (water, glucose) • Macromolecule: large particles consisting of molecules (DNA, protein) • Organelle: functional part of a cell (mitochondrion, lysosome) • Cell: basic unit of structure and functions (muscle, nerve, or blood cell) • Tissue: layer or mass of cells with specific function (adipose tissue) • Organ: group of different tissues with a function (heart, kidney, stomach) • Organ System: group of organs with common function (digestive system) • Organism: composed of organ systems interacting (human) © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 1.4 Characteristics of Life Table 1.2 Process Examples Process Examples Movement Change in position of the body or of a Digestion Breakdown of food substances into body part; motion of an internal organ simpler forms that can be absorbed and used Responsiveness Reaction to a change inside or outside Absorption Passage of substances through the body membranes and into body fluids Growth Increase in body size without change in Circulation Movement of substances in body fluids shape Reproduction Production of new organisms and new Assimilation Changing of absorbed substances into cells different chemical forms Respiration Obtaining oxygen, removing carbon Excretion Removal of wastes produced by dioxide, and releasing energy from foods metabolic reactions (some forms of life do not use oxygen in respiration) The events inside the body which obtain, release, and utilize energy are the main part of metabolism (all of the chemical reactions in an organism that support life). © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 1.5 Maintenance of Life 1. Requirements of Organisms Life requires / depends on 5 environmental factors: 1) Water: • most abundant substance in body. • environment for metabolic processes. • required for transport of substances. • regulation of body temperature. 2) Food: • provides necessary nutrients. • supplies energy. • supplies raw materials for building living tissue. © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 3) Oxygen (gas): • one-fifth of air. • used to release energy from nutrients. 4) Heat: • heat is a form of energy in our environment. • helps maintain body temperature. • partly controls rate of metabolic reactions. 5) Pressure: • application of force on an object. • atmospheric pressure – important for breathing. • hydrostatic pressure – keeps blood flowing. © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 2. Homeostasis Homeostasis: Maintenance of a stable internal environment Homeostatic Mechanisms: Self-regulating systems that monitor aspects of the internal environment and correct them as needed. There are 3 parts of a homeostatic mechanism: Receptor: detects and provides information about the stimuli Control Center: decision-maker that maintains the set point Effector: muscle or gland that responds to the control center, and causes the necessary change in the internal environment © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. Figure 1.6 Homeostatic Mechanisms © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 1.6 Organization of the Human Body • Human body consists of 2 main portions: o Axial (몸통) portion: head, neck, and trunk o Appendicular (팔다리) portion: upper and lower limbs © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 1.

Thoracic and Abdominopelvic Membranes The thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities are lined by double- layered serous membranes (장막), which secrete serous fluid (장액) (slippery fluid that prevents friction between layers). Serous membranes consist of 2 layers: • Visceral layer (내장쪽층): inner layer, which covers an organ • Parietal layer (벽쪽층): outer layer, which lines wall of cavity Examples of serous membranes: Pleura (가슴막, 흉막, around lungs in thorax) Pericardium (심낭막, 심장막, around heart in thorax) Peritoneum (복막, 배막, around abdominopelvic organs) © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 3. Organ Systems Integumentary System: Protection, body temperature regulation, sensory reception, production of Vitamin D Skeletal System: Framework, protection, attachment sites, storage of inorganic salts, production of blood cells, support and movement Muscular System: Movement, main source of body heat, maintenance of posture. Figures 1.14 and 1.15 © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. Nervous and Endocrine Systems: Integration and coordination of organ function through nerve impulses or hormones Figures 1.16 © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. Cardiovascular System: Transportation of gases, nutrients, blood cells and wastes Lymphatic System: Transportation of fluids, lymphocyte production, body defense © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. Digestive System: Receives food, breaks down food, excretes waste Respiratory System: Exchange of gases Urinary System: Removes blood wastes, regulates electrolyte & water balance, blood pressure © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education.

These are some of the changes that occur with aging: • Hair loses pigment, becomes gray or white • Skin wrinkles due to decrease in subcutaneous fat • Skin stiffens due to decrease in collagen and elastin • Percentage of fats in the tissues increases • Elevated blood pressure may become hypertension • Elevated blood glucose may become type 2 diabetes mellitus • Tissues atrophy and organs shrink • Cells reach end of ability to undergo cell division, as they lose tips of chromosomes • Metabolic rate decreases • Decreased production of enzymes and other proteins • Some will develop dementia / Alzheimer disease © 2019 McGraw-Hill Education. 1.8 Anatomical Terminology Anatomical Position: • Standing erect, facing forward, upper limbs at the sides, palms facing forward • Anatomical terms of relative position are based on a
