Anatomy and Physiology

Anatomy – study of structure

Physiology – study of function

Structure is always related to function

Homeostasis

Body’s maintenance of a stable internal environment

Homeostatic Mechanisms – monitor aspects of the internal environment and corrects any changes

•Receptors - provide information•Control center - tells what a particular value should be•Effectors - causes responses to change internal environment

Anatomical Terminology

Anatomical Position – body standing erect, facing forward, upper limbs at the sides, palms facing forward

Terms of Relative Position• Superior versus Inferior•Anterior versus Posterior•Medial versus Lateral•Ipsilateral versus Contralateral•Proximal versus Distal•Superficial versus Deep

Clinical ApplicationMedical Imaging

1-22

•Noninvasive procedures•Provide images of soft internal structures

Magnetic Resonance Imaging•Requires injection of dye•Produces computerized transverse, frontal, and sagittal sections of area being studied

Ultrasonography •Use of high-frequency sound waves•Relatively quick and inexpensive

In anatomy, this word means toward the front and in humans is synonymous with the word
