Day 1 Notes- 3 Green
Anatomy- Structural
components of an organism’s
“body” and how it is built
Physiology- The overall
functioning of the body and all
of its components (mostly
chemical and electrical);
PROCESSES
4 Themes for the Year:
- “FFF”- Form Follows Function
- Interdependence in Systems
- Homeostasis
- Disruption to homeostasisi.e. disease, injury, aging
System Overview:
1. Integumentary- Provides
protective covering to the
body; maintaining body
temp.; Absorption &
secretion of nutrients &
waste. (Skin, hair, nails)
2. Skeletal- Provides
structural framework &
protects inner organs;
allows movement;
Produces erthyrothrocytes
& leukocytes. (Bones,
bone marrow)
3. Muscular- Allows body to
move and allows
contraction of inner organs
(heart, stomach,
intestines); Helps protect
inner organs; Helps in
temp. regulation (biceps,
triceps, cardiac muscle,
smooth muscle)
4. Nervous (control system)Relaying impulses
(electrical) to convey
information to rest of body;
Controls voluntary &
involuntary reactions;
Works w/ endocrine to
manage all functioning of
the body. (Brain, spinal
chord & all associated
nerves)
5. Endocrine (control
system): works w/ nervous
to control all body
functions; Allows cellular
communication through
the use of hormones;
production of hormones
(Glands- Hypothalamus,
pituitary, adrenal, thyroid,
ovaries, testes)
6. Cardiovascular(Circulatory
): Transport O2, nutrients,
waste, hormones via
bloodstream; Helps to
regulate body temp.;
Maintenance of blood
pressure. (Heart,
vessels arteries, veins,
capillaries)
7. Lymphatic (Immune):
White blood cells,
Lymphatic vessels &
glands. Protection from
disease and other
pathogenic material;
Maintain fluid balance of
organs, tissues & blood;
Aids in lipid absorption
within the digestive tract.
8. Respiratory: Diffuses O2
into blood and CO2 out.
Capillaries, lungs, trachea,
nasal passageway.
9. Urinary: Passes metabolic
waste out of body via the
kidneys/bladder; regulates
blood pH, blood volume &
nutrient level; urethra (pee
tube), ureters
10. Digestive: To allow
nutrients (carbs, lipids,
nucleic acids, proteins)
into the body to be used
for cellular respiration and
alleviates solid waste
material. Mouth Anus
11. Reproductive- Allows
species survival by
maintaining population
numbers and maintenance
of diversity within
populations. Ovaries,
Testes, Vas deferens,
oviducts, gonads
