Chapter 23 - Organization of the body. The human body is complex in its structure and function. This chapter provides an overview of the human body. It introduces you to the way the body is organized from the chemical level all the way up to the organ system level. You will also learn important terminology used in the clinical setting to describe body positions and parts. This chapter also focuses on how diseases develop at the genetic level.

Cystic fibrosis – lifethreatening disease that affects the lungs and pancreas Down’s syndrome – causes mental retardation and physical abnormalities Fragile X syndrome – most common inherited cause of learning disability 34 Common Genetic Disorders (cont.) Hemophilia – blood disorder; lack of clotting factor Klinefelter’s syndrome – chromosomal abnormality that affects males Muscular dystrophy – affects muscular and nervous systems Phenylketonuria (PKU) – cannot synthesize the enzyme that converts phenylalanine to tyrosine 35 Common Genetic Disorders (cont.) Sickle cell anemia – abnormal hemoglobin is produced in red blood cells Spina bifida – one or more vertebrae do not form properly, leaving a gap in the spinal column and leading to damage of the spinal cord Turner’s syndrome – an X chromosome is completely or partially missing 36 Major Tissue Types Epithelial Covering, lining, or gland Covers the body and most organs Connective Most abundant Matrix separates the cells Blood Osseous tissue (bone) 37 Major Tissue Types (cont.) Muscle Shortens and elongates Contracts and relaxes includes skeletal, smooth, and cardiac Skeletal Muscle Tissue 38 Major Tissue Types (cont.) Nervous Specializes to send impulses to neurons, muscles and glands Nervous Tissue 39 Apply Your Knowledge What is cystic fibrosis? 40 Apply Your Knowledge Answer What is cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is lifethreatening disease that affects the lungs and pancreas 41 Summary Medical Assistant The body is organized from the chemical level all the way up to the organ system level You will also learn important terminology used in the clinical setting to describe body positions and parts 42 End of Chapter 43 ...
