 Chapter One

Introduction to Human
Anatomy and Physiology
 Objectives

✦ Discuss expectations for the course

✦ Define the terms anatomy and physiology
✦ Describe levels of organization of human
body
✦ Describe relative positions, body sections
and body regions
 My Expectations of You
✦ Always do your own work (Honor code) on time.
✦ Do your assignments in the spirit in which I give
them to you.
– Do not copy answers from other people, look up the
answers yourself.
– Working together does not mean splitting up the
assignments and then copying each other’s work.
✦ Be in class and lab on time.
✦ Be nice to each other.
✦ Work hard while in class or labs.
✦ Do not do homework or study for other classes
during either lecture or lab.
 My Expectations of You
✦ Do not whine, take responsibility for your own
actions.
✦ Cell phones and other electronic communication
devices will not be used during lecture or lab.
– If you use them, even to check messages, I get to keep the
device for a short while.
✦ Computers are to be used for class purposes only
– Its mine for a while if I catch you using it for other things.
 Anatomy and Physiology

✦ Anatomy: the study of the structures, shape

and form of the parts of the human body
(morphology) and their relative arrangement
✦ Physiology: study of the function of these
body parts
– what they do and how they do it.
✦ Tight interconnection of FORM and
FUNCTION
Levels of Organization

 Anatomical Terminology
(relative positions)
✦ Superior/Inferior
– above or below a body part
✦ Anterior/Posterior
– in front of or behind
✦ Medial/Lateral
– towards the middle or side
✦ Proximal/ Distal
– close to a body part or far from a body part
✦ Superficial (Peripheral)/Deep
– on the surface or lying beneath

 Planes through the Body
✦ Sagittal
– divides body into right and left portions
 Planes through the Body
✦ Transverse (horizontal)
– divides the body into superior and inferior portions
 Planes through the Body
✦ Coronal (frontal)
– divides the body into anterior and posterior
sections

 Serous Membranes - General

✦ Membranes associated with the thoracic and

abdominal cavities
– Parietal layer lines the wall
• outside
– Visceral layer lines the organs
• inside
 Serous Membranes
Associated with Organs

✦ Pleural membranes
✦ Pericardial membranes
✦ Peritoneal membranes
