The skin and its derivatives (sweat and oil glands, hairs, and nails) make up a complex set of organs that serves several functions, mostly protective Together,
these organs form the integumentary system (in-teg″u-men′tar-e).

and accounts for about 7% of total body weight in the average adult Also called the integument (“covering”), the skin multitasks
Its functions go well beyond serving as a bag for body contents
Pliable yet tough, it takes constant punishment from external agents Without our skin, we would quickly fall prey to bacteria and perish from water and heat loss.
Varying in thickness from 1.5 to 4.0 millimeters (mm) or more in different parts of the body, the skin is composed of two distinct layers (Figure 5.1):
● The epidermis (ep″ĭ-der′mis), composed of epithelial cells, is the outermost protective shield of the body (epi = upon).
● The underlying dermis, making up the bulk of the skin, is a
tough, leathery layer composed mostly of dense connective tissue.
Only the dermis is vascularized Nutrients reach the mis by diffusing through the tissue fluid from blood vessels in the dermis.
epider-The subcutaneous tissue just deep to the skin is known as
the hypodermis (Figure 5.1) Strictly speaking, the hypodermis
is not part of the skin, but it shares some of the skin’s
protec-tive functions The hypodermis, also called superficial fascia
because it is superficial to the tough connective tissue wrapping (fascia) of the skeletal muscles, consists mostly of adipose tissue.
Besides storing fat, the hypodermis anchors the skin to the underlying structures (mostly to muscles), but loosely enough that the skin can slide relatively freely over those structures
Sliding skin protects us by ensuring that many blows just glance off our bodies Because of its fatty composition, the hypodermis also acts as a shock absorber and an insulator that reduces heat loss.

Cerebrovascular Accidents (CVAs)
The single most common nervous system disorder and the third
leading cause of death in North America are cerebrovascular
accidents (CVAs) (ser″ĕ-bro-vas′ku-lar), also called strokes
CVAs occur when blood circulation to a brain area is blocked
and brain tissue dies of ischemia (is-ke′me-ah), a reduction of
blood supply that impairs the delivery of oxygen and nutrients.
The most common cause of CVA is a blood clot that blocks
a cerebral artery A clot can originate outside the brain (from the heart, for example) or form on the roughened interior wall
of a brain artery narrowed by atherosclerosis Less frequently, strokes are caused by bleeding, which compresses brain tissue.
Many who survive a CVA are paralyzed on one side of the
body (hemiplegia) Others commonly exhibit sensory deficits
or have difficulty understanding or vocalizing speech Even so, the picture is not hopeless Some patients recover at least part
of their lost faculties, because undamaged neurons sprout new branches that spread into the injured area and take over some lost functions Physical therapy should start as soon as possible
to prevent muscle contractures (abnormally shortened cles due to differences in strength between opposing muscle groups).
mus-Not all strokes are “completed.” Temporary episodes of
reversible cerebral ischemia, called transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), are common TIAs last from 5 to 50 minutes and are
characterized by temporary numbness, paralysis, or impaired speech These deficits are not permanent, but TIAs do consti- tute “red flags” that warn of impending, more serious CVAs.
A CVA is like an undersea earthquake It’s not the initial blor that does most of the damage, it’s the tsunami that floods the coast later Similarly, the initial vascular blockage during a stroke is not usually disastrous because there are many blood vessels in the brain that can pick up the slack Rather, it’s the neuron-killing events outside the initial ischemic zone that wreak the most havoc.
tem-Experimental evidence indicates that the main culprit is
glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter Glutamate plays a
key role in learning and memory, as well as other critical brain functions However, after brain injury, neurons totally deprived
of oxygen begin to disintegrate, unleashing the cellular lent of “buckets” of glutamate Under these conditions, gluta-
equiva-mate acts as an excitotoxin, literally exciting surrounding cells
to death.
At present, the most successful treatment for stroke is tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which dissolves blood clots in the brain Alternatively, a mechanical device can drill into a blood clot and pull it from a blood vessel like a cork from a bottle.

12.9 Brain injuries and disorders have devastating consequences
Learning Objectives
Describe the cause (if known) and major signs and symptoms of cerebrovascular accidents, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease.
List and explain several techniques used to diagnose brain disorders.
Brain dysfunctions are unbelievably varied and extensive We have mentioned some of them already, but here we will focus on traumatic brain injuries, cerebrovascular accidents, and degen- erative brain disorders.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Head injuries are a leading cause of accidental death in North America Consider, for example, what happens if you forget to fasten your seat belt and then rear-end another car Your head
is moving and then stops suddenly as it hits the windshield
Brain damage is caused not only by localized injury at the site of the blow, but also by the ricocheting effect as the brain hits the opposite end of the skull.
A concussion is an alteration in brain function, usually
tem-porary, following a blow to the head The victim may be dizzy
or lose consciousness Although typically mild and short-lived, even a seemingly mild concussion can be damaging, and multi- ple concussions over time produce cumulative damage.
More serious concussions can bruise the brain and cause
per-manent neurological damage, a condition called a contusion In
cortical contusions, the individual may remain conscious Severe brain stem contusions always cause coma, lasting from hours to a lifetime because of injury to the reticular activating system.
Following a head injury, death may result from subdural or subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding from ruptured vessels into
those spaces) Individuals who are initially lucid and then begin
to deteriorate neurologically are, in all probability, hemorrhaging intracranially Blood accumulating in the skull increases intra- cranial pressure and compresses brain tissue If the pressure forces the brain stem inferiorly through the foramen magnum, control
of blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration is lost Intracranial hemorrhages are treated by surgically removing the hematoma (localized blood mass) and repairing the ruptured vessels.
Another consequence of traumatic head injury is cerebral edema, swelling of the brain At best, cerebral edema aggravates
the injury At worst, it can be fatal in and of itself.

The trachea (tra′ke-ah), or windpipe, descends from the larynx
through the neck and into the mediastinum It ends by dividing into the two main bronchi at midthorax (see Figure 22.1) In humans, it is 10–12 cm (about 4 inches) long and 2 cm (3/4 inch)
in diameter, and very flexible and mobile
The tracheal wall consists of several layers that are common
to many tubular body organs—the mucosa, submucosa, and
adventitia—plus a layer of hyaline cartilage (Figure 22.7) The
mucosa has the same goblet cell–containing pseudostratified
epithelium that occurs throughout most of the respiratory tract

Inflammation of the vocal folds, or laryngitis, causes the vocal
folds to swell, interfering with their vibration This changes the vocal tone, causing hoarseness, or in severe cases limiting us to a whisper Laryngitis is most often caused by viral infections, but may also be due to overusing the voice, very dry air, bacterial infections, tumors on the vocal folds, or inhalation of irritating chemicals ✚
Sphincter Functions of the Larynx
Under certain conditions, the vocal folds act as a sphincter that prevents air passage During abdominal straining associated with defecation, the glottis closes to prevent exhalation and the abdominal muscles contract, causing the intra-abdominal
pressure to rise These events, collectively known as Valsalva’s
maneuver, help empty the rectum and can also splint (stabilize)

Muscle attachments, whether origin or insertion, may be direct or indirect.
● In direct, or fleshy, attachments, the epimysium of the
mus-cle is fused to the periosteum of a bone or perichondrium of
a cartilage.
● In indirect attachments, the muscle’s connective tissue
wrappings extend beyond the muscle either as a ropelike
tendon (Figure 9.1a) or as a sheetlike aponeurosis
(ap″o-nu-ro′sis) The tendon or aponeurosis anchors the muscle to the connective tissue covering of a skeletal element (bone or cartilage) or to the fascia of other muscles.
Indirect attachments are much more common because of their durability and small size Tendons are mostly tough col- lagen fibers which can withstand the abrasion of rough bony projections that would tear apart the more delicate muscle tis- sues Because of their relatively small size, more tendons than

burns are major challenges to the body
Loss of homeostasis in body cells and organs reveals itself on the skin, sometimes in startling ways The skin can develop more than 1000 different conditions and ailments The most com- mon skin disorders are bacterial, viral, or yeast infections (see Related Clinical Terms on pp 171–172) Less common, but far more damaging to body well-being, are skin cancer and burns, considered next.
Skin Cancer
One in five Americans develops skin cancer at some point
Most tumors that arise in the skin are benign and do not spread (metastasize) to other body areas (A wart, a neoplasm caused
by a virus, is one example.) However, some skin tumors are malignant, or cancerous, and invade other body areas.
The single most important risk factor for skin cancer is overexposure to the UV radiation in sunlight, which damages DNA bases Adjacent pyrimidine bases often respond by fus-
ing, forming lesions called dimers UV radiation also appears to
disable a tumor suppressor gene In limited numbers of cases, frequent irritation of the skin by infections, chemicals, or physi- cal trauma seems to be a predisposing factor.
Interestingly, sunburned skin accelerates its production
of Fas, a protein that causes genetically damaged skin cells to commit suicide, reducing the risk of mutations that will cause sun-linked skin cancer The death of these gene-damaged cells causes the skin to peel after a sunburn.
The skin is richly supplied with cutaneous sensory receptors,
which are actually part of the nervous system The cutaneous
receptors are classified as exteroceptors (ek″ster-o-sep′torz)
because they respond to stimuli arising outside the body For example, tactile (Meissner’s) corpuscles (in the dermal papil-
lae) and tactile discs allow us to become aware of a caress or the feel of our clothing against our skin, whereas lamellar (also called Pacinian) corpuscles (in the deeper dermis or hypoder-
mis) alert us to bumps or contacts involving deep pressure Hair follicle receptors report on wind blowing through our hair and
a playful tug on a ponytail Free nerve endings that meander throughout the skin sense painful stimuli (irritating chemicals, extreme heat or cold, and others) We defer detailed discussion
of these cutaneous receptors to Chapter 13.
Figure 5.1 illustrates all the cutaneous receptors mentioned above except for tactile corpuscles, which are found only in skin
that lacks hairs, and tactile cells, shown in Figure 5.2b.
Metabolic Functions
The skin is a chemical factory, fueled in part by the sun’s rays
When sunlight bombards the skin, modified cholesterol ecules are converted to a vitamin D precursor This precursor
mol-is transported via the blood to other body areas to be converted
to vitamin D, which plays various roles in calcium metabolism
For example, calcium cannot be absorbed from the digestive tract without vitamin D.
Among its other metabolic functions, the epidermis makes chemical conversions that supplement those of the liver For
example, keratinocyte enzymes can:
● “Disarm” many cancer-causing chemicals that penetrate the epidermis
● Activate some steroid hormones—for instance, they can transform cortisone applied to irritated skin into hydrocorti-
sone, a potent anti-inflammatory drug Skin cells also make several biologically important proteins,
including collagenase, an enzyme that aids the natural turnover
of collagen (and deters wrinkles).
Blood Reservoir
The dermal vascular supply is extensive and can hold about 5%
of the body’s entire blood volume When other body organs, such as vigorously working muscles, need a greater blood sup-
ply, the nervous system constricts the dermal blood vessels
This constriction shunts more blood into the general tion, making it available to the muscles and other body organs.

Trang 14Elaine N Marieb
For Elaine N Marieb, taking the student’s perspective into
ac-count has always been an integral part of her teaching style
Dr Marieb began her teaching career at Springfield College,
where she taught anatomy and physiology to physical education
majors She then joined the faculty of the Biological Science
Division of Holyoke Community College in 1969 after
receiv-ing her Ph.D in zoology from the University of Massachusetts
at Amherst While teaching at Holyoke Community College,
where many of her students were pursuing nursing degrees,
she developed a desire to better understand the relationship
be-tween the scientific study of the human body and the clinical
aspects of the nursing practice To that end, while continuing
to teach full time, Dr Marieb pursued her nursing education,
which culminated in a Master of Science degree with a clinical
specialization in gerontology from the University of
Massachu-setts It is this experience that has informed the development of
the unique perspective and accessibility for which her
publica-tions are known
Dr Marieb has partnered with Benjamin Cummings for
over 30 years Her first work was Human Anatomy &
Physiol-ogy Laboratory Manual (Cat Version), which came out in 1981
In the years since, several other lab manual versions and study
guides, as well as the softcover Essentials of Human Anatomy
& Physiology textbook, have hit the campus bookstores This
textbook, now in its 10th edition, made its appearance in 1989
and is the latest expression of her commitment to the needs of
students studying human anatomy and physiology
Dr Marieb has given generously to colleges both near and far to provide opportunities for students to further their edu-
cation She contributes to the New Directions, New Careers
Program at Holyoke Community College by funding a staffed
drop-in center and by providing several full-tuition
scholar-ships each year for women who are returning to college after
a hiatus or attending college for the first time and who would
be unable to continue their studies without financial support She funds the E N Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College, which promotes research by undergraduate science majors, and has underwritten renovation and updating
of one of the biology labs in Clapp Laboratory at that college
Dr Marieb also contributes to the University of Massachusetts
at Amherst where she generously provided funding for struction and instrumentation of a cutting-edge cytology re-search laboratory Recognizing the severe national shortage of nursing faculty, she underwrites the Nursing Scholars of the Future Grant Program at the university
recon-In 1994, Dr Marieb received the Benefactor Award from the National Council for Resource Development, American Association of Community Colleges, which recognizes her ongoing sponsorship of student scholarships, faculty teaching awards, and other academic contributions to Holyoke Com-munity College In May 2000, the science building at Holyoke Community College was named in her honor
Dr Marieb is an active member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Additionally, while actively engaged as an author, Dr Marieb serves as a consultant
for the Benjamin Cummings Interactive Physiology® CD-ROM
series
When not involved in academic pursuits, Dr Marieb is
a world traveler and has vowed to visit every country on this planet Shorter term, she serves on the scholarship committee
of the Women’s Resources Center and on the board of directors
of several charitable institutions in Sarasota County She is an enthusiastic supporter of the local arts and enjoys a competitive match of doubles tennis

Trang 16As educators we continually make judgments about the
enormous amount of information that besets us daily, so
we can choose which morsels to pass on to our students
Yet even this refined information avalanche challenges the
learning student’s mind What can we do to help students apply
the concepts they are faced with in our classrooms? We believe that this new edition of our textbook addresses that question by building on the strengths of previous editions while using new, innovative ways to help students visualize connections between various concepts
Unifying Themes
Three unifying themes that have helped to organize and set the
tone of this textbook continue to be valid and are retained in
this edition These themes are:
Interrelationships of body organ systems This theme
empha-sizes the fact that nearly all regulatory mechanisms have
inter-actions with several organ systems The respiratory system, for
example, cannot carry out its role of gas exchange in the body if
there are problems with the cardiovascular system that prevent
the normal delivery of blood throughout the body The unique
System Connections feature is a culmination of this approach
and helps the student think of the body as a community of
dy-namic parts instead of a number of independent units
Homeostasis Homeostasis is the normal and most desirable
condition of the body Its loss is always associated with past or
present pathology This theme is not included to emphasize
pathological conditions but rather to illustrate what happens in
the body when homeostasis is lost
Whenever students see a red balance beam symbol
accompa-nied by an associated clinical topic, their understanding of how
the body works to stay in balance is reinforced
Complementarity of structure and function This theme
en-courages students to understand the structure of some bodily
part (cell, bone, lung, etc.) in order to understand the function
of that structure For example, muscle cells can produce
move-ment because they are contractile cells
Changes Past and Present
Many of the changes made to the 9th edition have been retained and are reinforced in this 10th edition
• There are more step-by-step blue texts accompanying certain pieces of art (blue text refers to the instructor’s voice)
• The many clinical features of the book have been clearly identified to help students understand why this material is important
• The “Check Your Understanding” questions at the end of each module reinforce understanding throughout the chapter
• We have improved a number of our Focus Figures (Focus Figures are illustrations that use a “big picture” layout and dramatic art to walk the student through difficult processes
in a step-by-step way.)
• MasteringA&P continues to provide text-integrated media
of many types to aid learning These include Interactive
Phys-iology (IP) tutorials that help students to grasp difficult
con-cepts, A&PFlix animations that help students visualize tough
A&P topics, and the PAL (Practice Anatomy Lab) collection
of virtual anatomy study and practice tools focusing on the most widely used lab specimens These are by no means all
of the helpful tools to which students have access It’s just a smattering
Preface
Trang 17New To The Tenth Edition
So, besides these tools, what is really new to this textbook this
time around? Each chapter begins with a “Chapter Roadmap”
diagram that indicates the topics covered by the modules in the
chapter and shows how these topics relate to each other Another
nicety on each chapter’s first page is the “Why This Matters” icon
and QR code that links to a video of a health-care professional
tell-ing us why the chapter’s content is important for his or her work
In this edition, we have taken great pains to ensure that the
text and associated art are almost always covered on the same
two-page spread This sounds simple, but the fact that this type
of presentation has not usually been achieved in textbooks until
now tells you that it is not How many times have you heard
complaints about having to flip back and forth between a figure
on one page and text on another? Accomplishing this type of
text-art correlation is extremely difficult, yet invaluable to
stu-dent learning
Other new features include (1) declarative headers at the
be-ginning of each chapter module so that the student can quickly
grasp the “big idea” for that module, (2) more modularization
(chunking) of the text so that students can tackle manageable
pieces of information as they read through the material, (3)
in-creased readability of the text as a result of more bulleted lists
and shorter paragraphs, (4) more summary tables to help
stu-dents connect information, (5) improvements to many of the
figures so that they teach even more effectively, and (6)
“Mak-ing Connections” questions in each chapter that ask students to
incorporate related information from earlier chapters or earlier
modules in the same chapter, helping students to see the forest,
not just the trees, as they study

Trang 20Each time we put this textbook to bed, we promise
our-selves that the next time will be easier and will require less
of our time Now hear this! This is its 10th edition (and
30 years more or less) and fulfillment of this promise has yet to
materialize How could there be so much going on in
physiol-ogy research and so many new medical findings? Winnowing
through these findings to decide on the updates to include in
this edition has demanded much of our attention Many people
at Pearson have labored with us to produce another fine text
Let’s see if we can properly thank them
As Katja and I worked on the first draft of the manuscript, Tanya Martin (our text Development Editor) worked tirelessly
to improve the readability of the text, all the while trying to
de-termine which topics could be shortened or even deleted in the
10th edition After we had perused and acted on some of Tanya’s
suggestions, we forwarded the manuscript to Shannon Cutt, the
highly capable and still-cheery Program Manager, who
over-sees everything having to do with getting a clean manuscript
to production Aided by Editorial Assistant Arielle Grant (and
before her, Daniel Wikey), Shannon reviewed the entire revised
manuscript Nothing escaped her attention as she worked to
catch every problem
At the same time the text was in revision, the art program was going through a similar process Laura Southworth, our
superb Art Development Editor (aided briefly by Elisheva
Mar-cus), worked tirelessly to make our Focus Figures and other art
even better Needing a handshake and a heartfelt “thank you”
in the process are Kristin Piljay (Photo Researcher) and Jean
Lake, who handled the administrative aspects of the art
pro-gram This team ensured that the artists at Imagineering had
all the information they needed to produce beautiful final art
products
As the manuscript made the transition from Editorial
to Production, Michele Mangelli, the Production and
De-sign Manager, made her appearance known The head
hon-cho and skilled handler of all aspects of production, everyone
answered to her from this point on In all previous editions,
the manuscript would simply go directly into production once
the writing and editing phases were over, but our new modular
design required extra steps to make the art-text correlation a
reality—the electronic page layout Working closely with Katja
and her husband Larry Haynes, Michele’s small but powerful team “yanked” the new design to attention, fashioning two-page spreads, each covering one or more topics with its supporting art or table This was our Holy Grail for this edition and the ideal student coaching device They made it look easy (which
it was not) Thank you Katja, Larry, and Michele—you are the ideal electronic page layout team This was one time I felt fortu-nate to be the elder author
The remaining people who helped with Production clude David Novak (our conscientious Production Supervisor), Martha Ghent (Proofreader), Betsy Dietrich (Art Proofreader), Kathy Pitcoff (Indexer), Alicia Elliot (Project Manager at Imagi-neering), and Tim Frelick (Compositor) Copyeditor Anita Hueftle (formerly Anita Wagner) is the unofficial third author
in-of our book We are absolutely convinced that she memorizes the entire text She verified the spelling of new terms, checked the generic and popular names of drugs, confirmed our gram-mar, and is the person most responsible for the book’s consis-tency and lack of typographical errors We are grateful to Izak Paul for meticulously reading each chapter to find any remain-ing errors, and to Yvo Riezebos for his stunning design work on the cover, chapter opening pages, and the text
Finally—what can we say about Brooke Suchomel, our quisitions Editor? She loved playing with the modular design and the chapter road maps and advising on Focus Figures, but most of her time was spent out in the field talking to professors, demonstrating the book’s changes and benefits She spent weeks
Ac-on the road, smiling all the time—no easy task Finally, we are fortunate to have the ongoing support and friendship of Serina Beauparlant, our Editor-in-Chief
Other members of our team with whom we have less tact but who are nonetheless vital are: Barbara Yien (Director of Development), Michael Early (Program Manager Team Lead), Nancy Tabor (Project Manager Team Lead), Stacey Weinberger (our Senior Manufacturing Buyer), Allison Rona (our top-notch Senior Marketing Manager), and Derek Perrigo (Senior Anatomy & Physiology Specialist) We appreciate the hard work
con-of our media production team headed by Liz Winer, Aimee Pavy, and Lauren Hill and also wish to thank Eric Leaver
Kudos to our entire team We feel we have once again pared a superb textbook We hope you agree

Two complementary branches of science—anatomy and physiology—provide the concepts that help us to understand the

their relationships to one another Anatomy has a certain appeal because it is concrete Body structures can be seen, felt, and examined closely You don’t need to imagine what they look like
Physiology concerns the function of the body, in other words,
how the body parts work and carry out their life-sustaining activities When all is said and done, physiology is explainable only in terms of the underlying anatomy
For simplicity, when we refer to body structures and ological values (body temperature, heart rate, and the like), we

Welcome to the study of one of the most fascinating
subjects possible—your own body Such a study is not only highly personal, but timely as well We get news of some medical advance almost daily To appreciate emerging dis-
coveries in genetic engineering, to understand new techniques
for detecting and treating disease, and to make use of published
facts on how to stay healthy, you’ll find it helps to learn about the
workings of your body If you are preparing for a career in the
health sciences, the study of anatomy and physiology has added
rewards because it provides the foundation needed to sup-port your clinical experiences
In this chapter we define and contrast anatomy and physiology and discuss how the human body is organized
Then we review needs and functional processes com-mon to all living organisms
Three essential concepts—the
complementarity of structure and function, the hierarchy of structural organization, and
Trang 33a stethoscope) A simple example illustrates how some of these tools work together in an anatomical study
Let’s assume that your topic is freely movable joints of the body
In the laboratory, you will be able to observe an animal joint, ing how its parts fit together You can work the joint (manipulate it) to determine its range of motion Using anatomical terminol-
not-ogy, you can name its parts and describe how they are related
so that other students (and your instructor) will have no ble understanding you The list of word roots (at the back of the book) and the glossary will help you with this special vocabulary

produc-the heart and blood vessels While anatomy provides us with a static image of the body’s architecture, physiology reveals the body’s dynamic and animated workings
Physiology often focuses on events at the cellular or lar level This is because the body’s abilities depend on those
molecu-of its individual cells, and cells’ abilities ultimately depend on the chemical reactions that go on within them Physiology also rests on principles of physics, which help to explain electrical currents, blood pressure, and the way muscles use bones to cause body movements, among other things We present basic chemical and physical principles in Chapter 2 and throughout the book as needed to explain physiological topics
Complementarity of Structure and Function
Although it is possible to study anatomy and physiology vidually, they are really inseparable because function always reflects structure That is, what a structure can do depends on
indi-its specific form This key concept is called the principle of complementarity of structure and function.
For example, bones can support and protect body organs because they contain hard mineral deposits Blood flows in one direction through the heart because the heart has valves that prevent backflow Throughout this book, we accompany a description of a structure’s anatomy with an explanation of its function, and we emphasize structural characteristics contrib-uting to that function

will assume that we are talking about a healthy young
(22-year-old) male weighing about 155 lb (the reference man) or a healthy
young female weighing about 125 lb (the reference woman).
Although we use the reference values and common
direc-tional and regional terms to refer to all human bodies, you know
from observing the faces and body shapes of people around you
that we humans differ in our external anatomy The same kind
of variability holds for internal organs as well In one person, for
example, a nerve or blood vessel may be somewhat out of place,
or a small muscle may be missing Nonetheless, well over 90%
of all structures present in any human body match the textbook
descriptions We seldom see extreme anatomical variations
because they are incompatible with life
Topics of Anatomy
Anatomy is a broad field with many subdivisions, each
provid-ing enough information to be a course in itself Gross, or
mac-roscopic, anatomy is the study of large body structures visible
to the naked eye, such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys Indeed,
the term anatomy (from Greek, meaning “to cut apart”) relates
most closely to gross anatomy because in such studies preserved
animals or their organs are dissected (cut up) to be examined
Gross anatomy can be approached in different ways In
regional anatomy, all the structures (muscles, bones, blood
vessels, nerves, etc.) in a particular region of the body, such as
the abdomen or leg, are examined at the same time
In systemic anatomy (sis-tem′ik),* body structure is studied
system by system For example, when studying the
cardiovascu-lar system, you would examine the heart and the blood vessels
of the entire body
Another subdivision of gross anatomy is surface anatomy,
the study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin
surface You use surface anatomy when you identify the bulging
muscles beneath a bodybuilder’s skin, and clinicians use it to locate
appropriate blood vessels in which to feel pulses and draw blood
Microscopic anatomy deals with structures too small to be
seen with the naked eye For most such studies, exceedingly thin
slices of body tissues are stained and mounted on glass slides to
be examined under the microscope Subdivisions of microscopic
anatomy include cytology (si-tol′o-je), which considers the cells
of the body, and histology (his-tol′o-je), the study of tissues.
Developmental anatomy traces structural changes that
occur throughout the life span Embryology (em″bre-ol′o-je),
a subdivision of developmental anatomy, concerns
develop-mental changes that occur before birth
Some highly specialized branches of anatomy are used
pri-marily for medical diagnosis and scientific research For
exam-ple, pathological anatomy studies structural changes caused by
disease Radiographic anatomy studies internal structures as
visualized by X-ray images or specialized scanning procedures
One essential tool for studying anatomy is a mastery of
anatomical terminology Others are observation,
manipu-lation, and, in a living person, palpation (feeling organs with
your hands) and auscultation (listening to organ sounds with

Trang 34The human body has many levels of structural organization
(Figure 1.1) The simplest level of the structural hierarchy is
the chemical level, which we study in Chapter 2 At this level,
atoms, tiny building blocks of matter, combine to form ecules such as water and proteins Molecules, in turn, associ-
mol-ate in specific ways to form organelles, basic components of the microscopic cells Cells are the smallest units of living things
We examine the cellular level in Chapter 3 All cells have some
common functions, but individual cells vary widely in size and shape, reflecting their unique functions in the body
The simplest living creatures are single cells, but in complex organisms such as human beings, the hierarchy continues on
to the tissue level Tissues are groups of similar cells that have a
common function The four basic tissue types in the human body are epithelium, muscle, connective tissue, and nervous tissue
Organs are made up of different types of tissues.
Organ system level
Organ systems consist of different organs that work together closely.
Organismal level
The human organism is made up of many
organ systems.
Cardiovascular system
Organelle Molecule
Atoms
Smooth muscle cell
Smooth muscle tissue
Connective tissue Blood vessel (organ)
Heart Blood vessels
Epithelial tissue
Smooth muscle tissue
Figure 1.1 Levels of structural organization Components of the cardiovascular system are

Trang 35Interstitial fluid
Heart Nutrients
Nutrients and wastes pass between blood and cells via the interstitial fluid
Cardiovascular system
Via the blood, distributes oxygen and nutrients to all body cells and delivers wastes and carbon dioxide to disposal organs
Respiratory system
Takes in oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide
Blood
Each tissue type has a characteristic role in the body, which
we explore in Chapter 4 Briefly, epithelium covers the body
sur-face and lines its cavities Muscle provides movement
Connec-tive tissue supports and protects body organs Nervous tissue
provides a means of rapid internal communication by
transmit-ting electrical impulses
An organ is a discrete structure composed of at least two tissue
types (four is more common) that performs a specific function
for the body The liver, the brain, and a blood vessel are very
dif-ferent from the stomach, but each is an organ You can think of
each organ of the body as a specialized functional center
respon-sible for a necessary activity that no other organ can perform
At the organ level, extremely complex functions become
pos-sible Let’s take the stomach for an example Its lining is an
epithe-lium that produces digestive juices The bulk of its wall is muscle,
which churns and mixes stomach contents (food) Its connective
tissue reinforces the soft muscular walls Its nerve fibers increase
digestive activity by stimulating the muscle to contract more
vig-orously and the glands to secrete more digestive juices
The next level of organization is the organ system level
Organs that work together to accomplish a common purpose
make up an organ system For example, the heart and blood
vessels of the cardiovascular system circulate blood
continu-ously to carry oxygen and nutrients to all body cells Besides
the cardiovascular system, the other organ systems of the body
are the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine,
lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive
sys-tems (Note that the immune system is closely associated with
the lymphatic system.) Look ahead to Figure 1.3 on pp 26–27
for an overview of the 11 organ systems
The highest level of organization is the organism, the living
human being The organismal level represents the sum total of
all structural levels working together to keep us alive

Trang 36Maintaining Boundaries
Every living organism must maintain its boundaries so that
its internal environment (its inside) remains distinct from the
external environment (its outside) In single-celled organisms,
the external boundary is a limiting membrane that encloses
its contents and lets in needed substances while restricting
entry of potentially damaging or unnecessary substances
Simi-larly, all body cells are surrounded by a selectively permeable
membrane
Additionally, the body as a whole is enclosed and tected by the integumentary system, or skin (Figure 1.3a)
pro-This system protects our internal organs from drying out
(a fatal change), bacteria, and the damaging effects of heat,
sunlight, and an unbelievable number of chemicals in the
external environment
Movement
Movement includes the activities promoted by the muscular
system, such as propelling ourselves from one place to another
by running or swimming, and manipulating the external
envi-ronment with our nimble fingers (Figure 1.3c) The skeletal
system provides the bony framework that the muscles pull on
as they work (Figure 1.3b) Movement also occurs when
sub-stances such as blood, foodstuffs, and urine are propelled
through internal organs of the cardiovascular, digestive, and
urinary systems, respectively On the cellular level, the
mus-cle cell’s ability to move by shortening is more precisely called
contractility.
Responsiveness
Responsiveness, or excitability, is the ability to sense changes
(stimuli) in the environment and then respond to them For
example, if you cut your hand on broken glass, a withdrawal
reflex occurs—you involuntarily pull your hand away from the
painful stimulus (the broken glass) You don’t have to think
about it—it just happens! Likewise, when carbon dioxide in
your blood rises to dangerously high levels, chemical sensors
respond by sending messages to brain centers controlling
respi-ration, and you breathe more rapidly
Because nerve cells are highly excitable and communicate rapidly with each other via electrical impulses, the nervous sys-
tem is most involved with responsiveness (Figure 1.3d)
How-ever, all body cells are excitable to some extent
Digestion
Digestion is the breaking down of ingested foodstuffs to simple
molecules that can be absorbed into the blood The
nutrient-rich blood is then distributed to all body cells by the
cardio-vascular system In a simple, one-celled organism such as an
amoeba, the cell itself is the “digestion factory,” but in the
mul-ticellular human body, the digestive system performs this
func-tion for the entire body (Figure 1.3i)
Metabolism
Metabolism (mĕ-tab′o-lizm; “a state of change”) is a broad
term that includes all chemical reactions that occur within
body cells It includes breaking down substances into simpler
building blocks (the process of catabolism), synthesizing more complex cellular structures from simpler substances (anabo-
lism), and using nutrients and oxygen to produce (via cellular respiration) ATP, the energy-rich molecules that power cellular
activities Metabolism depends on the digestive and respiratory systems to make nutrients and oxygen available to the blood, and on the cardiovascular system to distribute them through-out the body (Figure 1.3i, h, and f, respectively) Metabolism
is regulated largely by hormones secreted by endocrine system glands (Figure 1.3e)
Excretion
Excretion is the process of removing wastes, or excreta
(ek-skre′tah), from the body If the body is to operate as we expect it to, it must get rid of nonuseful substances produced during digestion and metabolism
Several organ systems participate in excretion For example, the digestive system rids the body of indigestible food residues
in feces, and the urinary system disposes of nitrogen-containing metabolic wastes, such as urea, in urine (Figure 1.3i and j) Car-bon dioxide, a by-product of cellular respiration, is carried in the blood to the lungs, where it leaves the body in exhaled air (Figure 1.3h)
Reproduction Reproduction occurs at the cellular and the organismal level In
cellular reproduction, the original cell divides, producing two identical daughter cells that may then be used for body growth
or repair Reproduction of the human organism, or making a whole new person, is the major task of the reproductive system When a sperm unites with an egg, a fertilized egg forms and develops into a baby within the mother’s body The reproduc-tive system is directly responsible for producing offspring, but its function is exquisitely regulated by hormones of the endo-crine system (Figure 1.3e)
Because males produce sperm and females produce eggs (ova), there is a division of labor in reproduction, and the repro-ductive organs of males and females are different (Figure 1.3k, l) Additionally, the female’s reproductive structures provide the site for fertilization of eggs by sperm, and then protect and nurture the developing fetus until birth
Growth Growth is an increase in size of a body part or the organism as
a whole It is usually accomplished by increasing the number of cells However, individual cells also increase in size when not dividing For true growth to occur, constructive activities must occur at a faster rate than destructive ones
Survival Needs
The ultimate goal of all body systems is to maintain life ever, life is extraordinarily fragile and requires several factors
How-These factors, which we will call survival needs, include
nutri-ents (food), oxygen, water, and appropriate temperature and atmospheric pressure

1.4 Homeostasis is maintained
by negative feedback
Define homeostasis and explain its significance.
Describe how negative and positive feedback maintain body homeostasis.
Describe the relationship between homeostatic imbalance and disease.
When you think about the fact that your body contains lions of cells in nearly constant activity, and that remarkably little usually goes wrong with it, you begin to appreciate what
tril-a mtril-arvelous mtril-achine your body is Wtril-alter Ctril-annon, tril-an can physiologist of the early twentieth century, spoke of the
Ameri-“wisdom of the body,” and he coined the word homeostasis
(ho″me-o-sta′sis) to describe its ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions even though the outside world changes continuously
Although the literal translation of homeostasis is ing,” the term does not really mean a static, or unchanging,
“unchang-state Rather, it indicates a dynamic state of equilibrium, or a
balance, in which internal conditions vary, but always within relatively narrow limits In general, the body is in homeosta-sis when its needs are adequately met and it is functioning smoothly
Maintaining homeostasis is more complicated than it appears
at first glance Virtually every organ system plays a role in taining the constancy of the internal environment Adequate blood levels of vital nutrients must be continuously present, and heart activity and blood pressure must be constantly monitored and adjusted so that the blood is propelled to all body tissues
main-Also, wastes must not be allowed to accumulate, and body perature must be precisely controlled A wide variety of chem-ical, thermal, and neural factors act and interact in complex ways—sometimes helping and sometimes hindering the body
tem-as it works to maintain its “steady rudder.”
Homeostatic Control
Communication within the body is essential for homeostasis
Communication is accomplished chiefly by the nervous and
Nutrients
Nutrients, taken in via the diet, contain the chemical substances
used for energy and cell building Most plant-derived foods are
rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, whereas most
animal foods are richer in proteins and fats
Carbohydrates are the major energy fuel for body cells
Proteins, and to a lesser extent fats, are essential for building
cell structures Fats also provide a reserve of energy-rich fuel
Selected minerals and vitamins are required for the chemical
reactions that go on in cells and for oxygen transport in the
blood The mineral calcium helps to make bones hard and is
required for blood clotting
Oxygen
All the nutrients in the world are useless unless oxygen is also
available Because the chemical reactions that release energy
from foods are oxidative reactions that require oxygen, human
cells can survive for only a few minutes without oxygen
Approx-imately 20% of the air we breathe is oxygen The cooperative
efforts of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems make
oxy-gen available to the blood and body cells
Water
Water accounts for 50–60% of our body weight and is the
sin-gle most abundant chemical substance in the body It provides
the watery environment necessary for chemical reactions and
the fluid base for body secretions and excretions We obtain
water chiefly from ingested foods or liquids We lose it from
the body by evaporation from the lungs and skin and in body
excretions
Normal Body Temperature
If chemical reactions are to continue at life-sustaining rates,
nor-mal body temperature must be maintained As body
tempera-ture drops below 37°C (98.6°F), metabolic reactions become
slower and slower, and finally stop When body temperature is
too high, chemical reactions occur at a frantic pace and body
proteins lose their characteristic shape and stop functioning
At either extreme, death occurs The activity of the muscular
system generates most body heat
Appropriate Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric pressure is the force that air exerts on the surface
of the body Breathing and gas exchange in the lungs depend
on appropriate atmospheric pressure At high altitudes, where
atmospheric pressure is lower and the air is thin, gas exchange
may be inadequate to support cellular metabolism
● ● ●
The mere presence of these survival factors is not sufficient
to sustain life They must be present in the proper amounts Too
much and too little may be equally harmful For example,
oxy-gen is essential, but excessive amounts are toxic to body cells
Similarly, the food we eat must be of high quality and in proper

Afferent pathway Efferentpathway
endocrine systems, which use neural electrical impulses or bloodborne hormones,
respectively, as information carriers We cover the details of how these two great
regu-lating systems operate in later chapters, but here we explain the basic characteristics of
control systems that promote homeostasis
Regardless of the factor or event being regulated—the variable—all homeostatic
con-trol mechanisms are processes involving at least three components that work together
(Figure 1.4 ) The first component, the receptor, is some type of sensor that
moni-tors the environment and responds to changes, called stimuli, by sending information
(input) to the second component, the control center Input flows from the receptor to the
control center along the afferent pathway.
The control center determines the set point, which is the level or range at which a
variable is to be maintained It also analyzes the input it receives and determines the
appropriate response Information (output) then flows from the control center to
the third component, the effector, along the efferent pathway (To help you
remem-ber the difference between “afferent” and “efferent,” note that information traveling
along the afferent pathway approaches the control center and efferent information
exits from the control center.)
The effector provides the means for the control center’s response (output) to the
stimulus The results of the response then feed back to influence the effect of the
stimu-lus, either reducing it so that the whole control process is shut off, or enhancing it so that
the whole process continues at an even faster rate
Negative Feedback Mechanisms
Most homeostatic control mechanisms are negative feedback mechanisms In these
systems, the output shuts off the original effect of the stimulus or reduces its intensity
These mechanisms cause the variable to change in a direction opposite to that of the
initial change, returning it to its “ideal” value
Let’s start with an example of a nonbiological negative feedback system: a home heating system connected to a temperature-sensing thermostat The thermostat
houses both the receptor (thermometer) and the control center If the thermostat
is set at 20°C (68°F), the heating system (effector) is triggered ON when the house
temperature drops below that setting As the furnace produces heat and warms the
air, the temperature rises, and when it reaches 20°C or slightly higher, the
thermo-stat triggers the furnace OFF This process results in a cycling of the furnace between
Figure 1.4 Interactions among the elements of a homeostatic control system
maintain stable internal conditions.
