2. Definition And Scope
Of Anatomy And Physiology
• Anatomy (ana- _ up; -tomy _ process of cutting) is the science
of body structures and the relationships among them
• Whereas anatomy deals with structures of the body,
physiology (physio- _ nature; -logy _study of) is the science of
body functions—how the body parts work

4. Levels of Structural Organization
Fig.1: Levels of Structural Organization in Human Body
9. Basic Life Processes
1. Metabolism: Sum of all chemical processes that occur in the
body
• Catabolism: The breakdown of complex chemical substances
into simpler components
• Anabolism: The building up of complex chemical substances
from smaller, simpler components
10. Basic Life Processes
2. Responsiveness: Body’s ability to detect and respond to
changes
3. Movement: motion of the whole body, individual organs,
single cells, and even tiny structures inside cells
4. Growth: Increase in body size that results from an increase in
the size of existing cells, an increase in the number of cells, or
both
11. Basic Life Processes
5. Differentiation: Development of a cell from an unspecialized
to a specialized state
6. Reproduction refers either to:
• The formation of new cells for tissue growth, repair, or
replacement, or
• The production of a new individual
12. Homeostasis
• Homeostasis (homeo- _ sameness; -stasis _ standing still) is
the condition of equilibrium (balance) in the body’s internal
environment due to the constant interaction of the body’s
many regulatory processes
• Homeostasis is a dynamic condition
• For example, the level of glucose in blood normally stays
between 70 and 110 milligrams of glucose per 100 milliliters
of blood
13. Feedback Systems
• The body can regulate its internal environment through many
feedback systems
• A feedback system or feedback loop is a cycle of events in
which the status of a body condition is monitored, evaluated,
changed, remonitored, reevaluated, and so on
• In a feedback system, the response of the system “feeds
back” information to change the controlled condition in some
way, either negating it (negative feedback) or enhancing it
(positive feedback)
19. Tissue
• A tissue is a group of similar cells that work together to
perform a specialized function
• The science that deals with the study of tissues is called
histology
20. Types of tissue
1. EPITHELIAL TISSUE: covers body surface and lines the
body cavities, hollow organs and ducts
2. CONNECTIVE TISSUE: protect and supports the body and
its organs
3. MUSCULAR TISSUE: responsible for movement of various
body structure
4. NERVOUS TISSUE: detect the changes in internal and
external environment and responds by generating nerve
impulses
23. Covering & Lining Epithelium
• Based on arrangement of cells:
✓ Simple epithelial: single layer of cells
✓ Stratified epithelial: two or more layer of cells
✓ Pseudostratified epithelium: contain single layer of cells.
• Based on shape of cells:
✓ Squamous cells: flattened cells
✓ Cuboidal cells: cube shaped cells
✓ Columnar cells: tall and cylindrical cells
✓ Transitional cells: change shape from cuboidal to flat and
back.

25. Glandular Epithelium
• Two types: Endocrine glands & Exocrine glands
• Structural classification:
✓Unicellular glands (goblet cell)
✓multicellular glands (sweat gland)
1. Based on branching of ducts
a.) unbranched ducts (e.g. simple glands)
b.) Branched ducts (e.g. compound glands)
28. Functional classification:
• Merocrine glands: form the secretion and release it from the
cell
• Apocrine glands: accumulate the secretion at the apical
surface of the cell., and this apical portion separate from the
rest of the cell to form secretion
• Holocrine glands: accumulate there secretion at the cytosol of
the cell. As the cell mature, it dies and become secretion
