Organization of the body
DEFINITION: The organization of the human body is a
hierarchy of increasing size and complexity, starting at
the level of atoms and molecules , and ending at the level
of the entire organism.
Definitions
• Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body
and the physical relationships between its
constituent parts.
• Physiology is the study of how the body systems
work, and the ways in which their integrated
activities maintain life and health of the
individual.
• Pathology is the study of abnormalities and
pathophysiology considers how they affect body
functions, often causing illness.
organizations
• Organ system: An organ system is a biological
system consisting of a group of organs that work
together to perform one or more functions.
• Organ: In biology, an organ (from the Latin
"organum" meaning an instrument or tool) is a
collection of tissues that structurally form a
functional unit specialized to perform a particular
function. Your heart, kidneys, and lungs.
Organizations cont….
• Tissue: A tissue is a group of cells, in close
proximity, organized to perform one or more
specific functions. There are four basic tissue
types defined by their morphology and function:
epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle
tissue, and nervous tissue.
• Cell: the smallest structural and functional unit
of an organism, which is typically microscopic
and consists of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed
in a membrane.
The skeleton
• The skeleton is the bony framework of the
body.
• It forms the cavities and fossae (depressions
or hollows) that protect some structures,
forms the joints and gives attachment to
muscles.
• The skeleton is described in two parts: axial
and appendicular (the appendages attached
to the axial skeleton).
Axial skeleton
• The axial skeleton (axis of the body) consists of
the skull, vertebral column, sternum (breast
bone) and the ribs.
• Skull
• The skull is described in two parts, the cranium,
which contains the brain, and the face. It consists
of several bones, which develop separately but
fuse together as they mature. The only movable
bone is the mandible or lower jaw.
Functions
• The various parts of the skull have specific and
different functions and are, in summary:
– Protection of delicate structures including the
brain, eyes and inner ears
– Maintaining patency of the nasal passages
enabling breathing
– Eating – the teeth are embedded in the mandible
and maxilla; and movement of the mandible
allows chewing.
Vertebral column
• This consists of 24 movable bones (vertebrae) plus
the sacrum and coccyx. The bodies of the bones are
separated from each other by intervertebral discs,
consisting of fibrocartilage.
• The vertebral column is described in five parts and
the bones of each part are numbered from above
downwards:
– 7 cervical
– 12 thoracic
– 5 lumbar
– 1 sacrum (5 fused bones)
– 1 coccyx (4 fused bones).
• The first cervical vertebra, called the atlas, forms a
joint (articulates) with the skull. Thereafter each
vertebra forms a joint with the vertebrae
immediately above and below.
• More movement is possible in the cervical and
lumbar regions than in the thoracic region.
• The sacrum consists of five vertebrae fused into one
bone that articulates with the fifth lumbar vertebra
above, the coccyx below and an innominate (pelvic
or hip) bone at each side.
• The coccyx consists of the four terminal vertebrae
fused into a small triangular bone that articulates
with the sacrum above.
Functions
• The vertebral column has several important
functions:
– It protects the spinal cord. In each vertebra is a
hole, the vertebral foramen, and collectively the
foramina form a canal in which the spinal cord lies
– Adjacent vertebrae form openings (intervertebral
foramina), which protect the spinal nerves as they
pass from the spinal cord
– In the thoracic region the ribs articulate with the
vertebrae forming joints that allow movement of
the ribcage during respiration.
Thoracic cage
• The thoracic cage is
formed by:
– 12 thoracic vertebrae
– 12 pairs of ribs
– 1 sternum or breast
bone.
Functions
The thoracic cage:
• Protects the contents of the thorax including
the heart, lungs and large blood vessels
• Forms joints between the upper limbs and the
axial skeleton. The upper part of the sternum,
the manubrium, articulates with the clavicles
forming the only joints between the upper
limbs and the axial skeleton
Cont
• gives attachment to the muscles of respiration:
– intercostal muscles occupy the spaces between
the ribs and when they contract the ribs move
upwards and outwards, increasing the capacity of
the thoracic cage, and inspiration occurs
– the diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle which
separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities;
when it contracts it assists with inspiration
• it enables breathing to take place.
Appendicular skeleton
• The appendicular skeleton consists of the shoulder
girdles and upper limbs, and the pelvic girdle and
lower limbs.
• The shoulder girdles and upper limbs. Each
shoulder girdle consists of a clavicle and a scapula.
Each upper limb comprises:
– 1 humerus
– 1 radius
– 1 ulna
– 8 carpal bones
– 5 metacarpal bones
– 14 phalanges.
Cont
• The pelvic girdle and lower limbs. The bones of
the pelvic girdle are the two innominate bones
and the sacrum.
• Each lower limb consists of:
– 1 femur
– 1 tibia
– 1 fibula
– 1 patella
– 7 tarsal bones
– 5 metatarsal bones
– 14 phalanges.
LOWER LIMB
UPPER LIMB
Functions
• The appendicular skeleton has two main
functions.
– Voluntary movement. The bones, muscles and
joints of the limbs are involved in movement of
the skeleton. This ranges from very fine finger
movements needed for writing to the coordinated
movement of all the limbs associated with running
and jumping.
Cont
–Protection of blood vessels and nerves. These
delicate structures along the length of bones
of the limbs are protected from injury by the
associated muscles and skin. They are most
vulnerable where they cross joints and
where bones can be felt immediately below
the skin.
Cavities of the body
• The body organs are contained and protected
within four cavities: cranial, thoracic, abdominal
and pelvic.
• Cranial cavity
• The cranial cavity contains the brain, and its
boundaries are formed by the bones of the skull:
– Anteriorly – 1 frontal bone
– Laterally – 2 temporal bones
– Posteriorly – 1 occipital bone
– Superiorly – 2 parietal bones
– Inferiorly – 1 sphenoid and 1 ethmoid bone and parts
of the frontal, temporal and occipital bones.
Thoracic cavity
• This cavity is situated in the upper part of the trunk.
• Its boundaries are formed by the thoracic cage and
supporting muscles:
• Anteriorly – the sternum and costal cartilages of the
ribs
• Laterally – 12 pairs of ribs and the intercostal muscles
• Posteriorly – the thoracic vertebrae
• Superiorly – the structures forming the root of the neck
• Inferiorly – the diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle.
Contents of the thoracic cavity
• The main organs and structures contained in the
thoracic cavity are:
– The trachea, 2 bronchi, 2 lungs
– The heart, aorta, superior and inferior vena cavae,
numerous other blood vessels
– The oesophagus
– Lymph vessels and lymph nodes
– Some important nerves.
• The mediastinum is the space between the lungs
including the structures found there, such as the
heart, oesophagus and blood vessels.
Abdominal cavity
• This is the largest body cavity and is oval in shape. It
occupies most of the trunk and its boundaries are:
• Superiorly – the diaphragm, which separates it from
the thoracic cavity
• Anteriorly – the muscles forming the anterior
abdominal wall
• Posteriorly – the lumbar vertebrae and muscles
forming the posterior abdominal wall
• Laterally – the lower ribs and parts of the muscles of
the abdominal wall
• Inferiorly – it is continuous with the pelvic cavity.
Cont
• By convention, the abdominal cavity is divided
into the nine regions shown in Figure 3.38.
This facilitates the description of the positions
of the organs and structures it contains.
• Contents
• Most of the abdominal cavity is occupied by the
organs and glands of the digestive system.
• These are:
– the stomach, small intestine and most of the large
intestine
– the liver, gall bladder, bile ducts and pancreas.
• Other structures include:
– the spleen
– 2 kidneys and the upper part of the ureters
– 2 adrenal (suprarenal) glands
– numerous blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves
– lymph nodes.
Pelvic cavity
• The pelvic cavity is roughly funnel shaped and
extends from the lower end of the abdominal
cavity and The boundaries are:
• Superiorly – it is continuous with the abdominal
cavity
• Anteriorly – the pubic bones
• Posteriorly – the sacrum and coccyx
• Laterally – the innominate bones
• Inferiorly – the muscles of the pelvic floor.
• Contents
• The pelvic cavity contains the following structures:
– sigmoid colon, rectum and anus
– some loops of the small intestine
– urinary bladder, lower parts of the ureters and the
urethra
• in the female, the organs of the reproductive
system:
– the uterus, uterine tubes, ovaries and vagina
• in the male, some of the organs of the
reproductive system:
– the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, spermatic cords,
deferent ducts (vas deferens), ejaculatory ducts and the
urethra (common to the reproductive and urinary
systems).

  • 12. Definitions • Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body and the physical relationships between its constituent parts. • Physiology is the study of how the body systems work, and the ways in which their integrated activities maintain life and health of the individual. • Pathology is the study of abnormalities and pathophysiology considers how they affect body functions, often causing illness.
  • 13. organizations • Organ system: An organ system is a biological system consisting of a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions. • Organ: In biology, an organ (from the Latin "organum" meaning an instrument or tool) is a collection of tissues that structurally form a functional unit specialized to perform a particular function. Your heart, kidneys, and lungs.
  • 14. Organizations cont…. • Tissue: A tissue is a group of cells, in close proximity, organized to perform one or more specific functions. There are four basic tissue types defined by their morphology and function: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. • Cell: the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, which is typically microscopic and consists of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane.
  • 15. The skeleton • The skeleton is the bony framework of the body. • It forms the cavities and fossae (depressions or hollows) that protect some structures, forms the joints and gives attachment to muscles. • The skeleton is described in two parts: axial and appendicular (the appendages attached to the axial skeleton).
  • 16.
  • 17. Axial skeleton • The axial skeleton (axis of the body) consists of the skull, vertebral column, sternum (breast bone) and the ribs. • Skull • The skull is described in two parts, the cranium, which contains the brain, and the face. It consists of several bones, which develop separately but fuse together as they mature. The only movable bone is the mandible or lower jaw.
  • 18. Functions • The various parts of the skull have specific and different functions and are, in summary: – Protection of delicate structures including the brain, eyes and inner ears – Maintaining patency of the nasal passages enabling breathing – Eating – the teeth are embedded in the mandible and maxilla; and movement of the mandible allows chewing.
  • 19. Vertebral column • This consists of 24 movable bones (vertebrae) plus the sacrum and coccyx. The bodies of the bones are separated from each other by intervertebral discs, consisting of fibrocartilage. • The vertebral column is described in five parts and the bones of each part are numbered from above downwards: – 7 cervical – 12 thoracic – 5 lumbar – 1 sacrum (5 fused bones) – 1 coccyx (4 fused bones).
  • 20. • The first cervical vertebra, called the atlas, forms a joint (articulates) with the skull. Thereafter each vertebra forms a joint with the vertebrae immediately above and below. • More movement is possible in the cervical and lumbar regions than in the thoracic region. • The sacrum consists of five vertebrae fused into one bone that articulates with the fifth lumbar vertebra above, the coccyx below and an innominate (pelvic or hip) bone at each side. • The coccyx consists of the four terminal vertebrae fused into a small triangular bone that articulates with the sacrum above.
  • 21.
  • 22. Functions • The vertebral column has several important functions: – It protects the spinal cord. In each vertebra is a hole, the vertebral foramen, and collectively the foramina form a canal in which the spinal cord lies – Adjacent vertebrae form openings (intervertebral foramina), which protect the spinal nerves as they pass from the spinal cord – In the thoracic region the ribs articulate with the vertebrae forming joints that allow movement of the ribcage during respiration.
  • 23. Thoracic cage • The thoracic cage is formed by: – 12 thoracic vertebrae – 12 pairs of ribs – 1 sternum or breast bone.
  • 24. Functions The thoracic cage: • Protects the contents of the thorax including the heart, lungs and large blood vessels • Forms joints between the upper limbs and the axial skeleton. The upper part of the sternum, the manubrium, articulates with the clavicles forming the only joints between the upper limbs and the axial skeleton
  • 25. Cont • gives attachment to the muscles of respiration: – intercostal muscles occupy the spaces between the ribs and when they contract the ribs move upwards and outwards, increasing the capacity of the thoracic cage, and inspiration occurs – the diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle which separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities; when it contracts it assists with inspiration • it enables breathing to take place.
  • 26. Appendicular skeleton • The appendicular skeleton consists of the shoulder girdles and upper limbs, and the pelvic girdle and lower limbs. • The shoulder girdles and upper limbs. Each shoulder girdle consists of a clavicle and a scapula. Each upper limb comprises: – 1 humerus – 1 radius – 1 ulna – 8 carpal bones – 5 metacarpal bones – 14 phalanges.
  • 27. Cont • The pelvic girdle and lower limbs. The bones of the pelvic girdle are the two innominate bones and the sacrum. • Each lower limb consists of: – 1 femur – 1 tibia – 1 fibula – 1 patella – 7 tarsal bones – 5 metatarsal bones – 14 phalanges.
  • 29. Functions • The appendicular skeleton has two main functions. – Voluntary movement. The bones, muscles and joints of the limbs are involved in movement of the skeleton. This ranges from very fine finger movements needed for writing to the coordinated movement of all the limbs associated with running and jumping.
  • 30. Cont –Protection of blood vessels and nerves. These delicate structures along the length of bones of the limbs are protected from injury by the associated muscles and skin. They are most vulnerable where they cross joints and where bones can be felt immediately below the skin.
  • 31. Cavities of the body • The body organs are contained and protected within four cavities: cranial, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic. • Cranial cavity • The cranial cavity contains the brain, and its boundaries are formed by the bones of the skull: – Anteriorly – 1 frontal bone – Laterally – 2 temporal bones – Posteriorly – 1 occipital bone – Superiorly – 2 parietal bones – Inferiorly – 1 sphenoid and 1 ethmoid bone and parts of the frontal, temporal and occipital bones.
  • 32. Thoracic cavity • This cavity is situated in the upper part of the trunk. • Its boundaries are formed by the thoracic cage and supporting muscles: • Anteriorly – the sternum and costal cartilages of the ribs • Laterally – 12 pairs of ribs and the intercostal muscles • Posteriorly – the thoracic vertebrae • Superiorly – the structures forming the root of the neck • Inferiorly – the diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle.
  • 33. Contents of the thoracic cavity • The main organs and structures contained in the thoracic cavity are: – The trachea, 2 bronchi, 2 lungs – The heart, aorta, superior and inferior vena cavae, numerous other blood vessels – The oesophagus – Lymph vessels and lymph nodes – Some important nerves. • The mediastinum is the space between the lungs including the structures found there, such as the heart, oesophagus and blood vessels.
  • 34. Abdominal cavity • This is the largest body cavity and is oval in shape. It occupies most of the trunk and its boundaries are: • Superiorly – the diaphragm, which separates it from the thoracic cavity • Anteriorly – the muscles forming the anterior abdominal wall • Posteriorly – the lumbar vertebrae and muscles forming the posterior abdominal wall • Laterally – the lower ribs and parts of the muscles of the abdominal wall • Inferiorly – it is continuous with the pelvic cavity.
  • 35. Cont • By convention, the abdominal cavity is divided into the nine regions shown in Figure 3.38. This facilitates the description of the positions of the organs and structures it contains.
  • 36.
  • 37. • Contents • Most of the abdominal cavity is occupied by the organs and glands of the digestive system. • These are: – the stomach, small intestine and most of the large intestine – the liver, gall bladder, bile ducts and pancreas. • Other structures include: – the spleen – 2 kidneys and the upper part of the ureters – 2 adrenal (suprarenal) glands – numerous blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves – lymph nodes.
  • 38.
  • 39.
  • 40. Pelvic cavity • The pelvic cavity is roughly funnel shaped and extends from the lower end of the abdominal cavity and The boundaries are: • Superiorly – it is continuous with the abdominal cavity • Anteriorly – the pubic bones • Posteriorly – the sacrum and coccyx • Laterally – the innominate bones • Inferiorly – the muscles of the pelvic floor.
  • 41. • Contents • The pelvic cavity contains the following structures: – sigmoid colon, rectum and anus – some loops of the small intestine – urinary bladder, lower parts of the ureters and the urethra • in the female, the organs of the reproductive system: – the uterus, uterine tubes, ovaries and vagina • in the male, some of the organs of the reproductive system: – the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, spermatic cords, deferent ducts (vas deferens), ejaculatory ducts and the urethra (common to the reproductive and urinary systems).
