•Reproductive

•Produces offspring

•Testes

produce sperm and male hormone

•Ovaries

produce eggs and female hormones



NutrientsHeart

Interstitial fluid

Blood

Food

Digestive systemTakes in nutrients, breaks them down, and eliminates unabsorbed matter (feces)

Respiratory systemTakes in oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide

Cardiovascular systemVia the blood, distributes oxygen and nutrients to all body cells and delivers wastes and carbondioxide to disposal organs

Urinary system Eliminates nitrogen-containing wastes and excess ions

Feces Urine

Nutrients and wastes pass between blood and cells via the interstitial fluid

O2

CO2

Integumentary systemProtects the body as a whole from the external environment

Necessary Life Functions

•Maintain boundaries

•Movement

•Locomotion

•Movement of substances

•Responsiveness

•Ability to sense changes and react

•Digestion

•Breakdown and absorption of nutrients



•Metabolism—chemical reactions within the body

•Break down complex molecules into smaller ones

•Build larger molecules from smaller ones

•Produces energy

•Regulated by hormones

•Excretion

•Eliminates waste from metabolic reactions

•Wastes may be removed in urine or feces



•Reproduction

•Occurs on cellular level or organismal level

•Produces future generation

•Growth

•Increases cell size and number of cells


Survival Needs

•Nutrients

•Chemicals for energy and cell building

•Includes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals

•Oxygen

•Required for chemical reactions


Survival Needs

•Water

•60 to 80 percent of body weight

•Most abundant chemical in the human body

•Provides for metabolic reaction

•Stable body temperature

•37°C (98°F)

•Atmospheric pressure

•Must be appropriate for gas exchange


Homeostasis

•Homeostasis—maintenance of a stable internal environment

•A dynamic state of equilibrium

•Necessary for normal body functioning and to sustain life

•Homeostatic imbalance

•A disturbance in homeostasis resulting in disease


How is homeostasis maintained?

•The body communicates through neural and hormonal control systems

Feedback Mechanisms

•Negative feedback

•Includes most homeostatic control mechanisms

•Shuts off the original stimulus, or reduces its intensity

•Works like a household thermostat


Feedback Mechanisms

•Positive feedback

•Increases the original stimulus to push the variable farther

•In the body this only occurs in blood clotting and during the birth of a baby

•Exact terms are used for

•Position

•Direction

DIRECTIONAL TERMS

© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. Table 1.1

Superior (cranial or cephalad):

toward the head end or upper part of a structure or the body; above

Inferior (caudal): away from the head end or toward the

lower part of a structure or the

body; below


Ventral (anterior):

toward or at the front of the body; in front

ofDorsal

(posterior): toward or at the backside of the body; behind


Medial: toward or at the midline of the body; on the inner side of

Lateral: away from the midline of the body; on

the outer side of

Intermediate: between a more

medial and a more lateral structure


Proximal: close to the origin of the

body part or point of attachment to a limb to the body

trunk

Distal: farther from the origin of a body part or the point of

attachment of a limb to the body

trunk


Superficial: toward or at

the body surface

Deep: away from the body surface;

more internal


Body Planes and Sections• A sagittal section • divides the body (or organ) into left and right parts.• A median, or midsagittal,• section divides the body (or organ) into equal left and right parts.

• A frontal, or coronal, • section divides the body (or organ) into anterior and posterior parts.

• A transverse, or cross, • section divides the body (or organ) into superior and inferior parts.
