Chapter 1: Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology. Anatomy: Structure of Body Parts. Morphology Physiology: Function of body parts. What they do and how. *A & P are very closely related - structure closely related to function.
The human body is organized into cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and the total organism. Cells are the smallest living unit of body construction. A tissue is a grouping of like cells working together. Examples are muscle tissue and nervous tissue.

Physiology: the study of body function. Levels of Organization. Chemical level. atoms and molecules. Cells. the basic unit of all living things. Tissues.
Introduction to The Human Body FOCUS: The human organism is often examined at seven structural levels: chemical, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and the organism. Anatomy examines the structure of the human organism, and physiology investigates its processes. Structures and processes interact to maintain homeostasis
Define homeostasis and explain its importance to normal human functioning. Use appropriate anatomical terminology to identify key body structures, body regions, and directions in the body. Compare and contrast imaging techniques in terms of their function and use in studying the human body.
forearam, and arm), you are using the human body to do so.

Identify the functional characteristics of human life; Identify the four requirements for human survival; Define homeostasis and explain its importance to normal human functioning; Use appropriate anatomical terminology to identify key body structures, body regions, and directions in the body
Three essential concepts—the complementarity of structure and function, the hierarchy of structural organization, and homeostasis—will unify and form the bedrock for your study of the human body. And finally you’ll learn the language of anatomy—terminology that anatomists use to describe the body and its parts. 31.
Anatomy and Physiology 2e is developed to meet the scope and sequence for a two-semester human anatomy and physiology course for life science and allied health majors. The book is organized by body systems. The revision focuses on inclusive and equitable instruction and includes new student support.
Human anatomy is the scientific study of the body’s structures. Some of these structures are very small and can only be observed and analyzed with the assistance of a microscope. Other larger structures can readily be seen, manipulated, measured, and weighed.
Renaissance physician who revolutionized the study of biology and the practice of medicine by his careful description of the anatomy of the human body. Basing his observations on dissections he made himself, he wrote and illustrated the first comprehensive textbook of anatomy. Beginnings of Medicine, cont.
An Introduction to the Human Body Anatomy is the science of body structures and their relationships. Physiology is the science of body functions. Concept 1.1 The human body is composed of six levels of structural organization and contains eleven systems.
I. Overview. A. Anatomy: the study of the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another. 1. Subdivisions: gross anatomy (macroscopic): study of large body structures, visible to the naked eye. approaches: regional anatomy, systemic anatomy, or surface anatomy.
Chapter 6 provides a basic overview of these important concepts and begins with some general information regarding gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy (histology), and physiology.
Learn about human anatomy and physiology online by downloading OpenStax's free Anatomy and Physiology 2e book and using our accompanying study guide.
It provides information about the functions of the skeletal system, the shapes of bones, and introduces the major bones of the skeleton. The goal is to provide a basic foundation you can build upon as you learn and become more confident with Anatomy.
This chapter begins with an overview of anatomy and physiology and a preview of the body regions and functions. It then covers the characteristics of life and how the body works to maintain stable conditions.
