               Basic
Cell Theory
β€’    Term β€œcell” was coined in 1665 by Robert
     Hooke when he looked at a slice of dried
     cork. He also observed that:
    1. All living things are comprised of cells.
    2. Cells are the smallest β€œliving” unit in an
       organisms.
    3. Cells come from previously existing cells.
Cell Diversity
β€’ Lots of shapes and sizes
Typical Cell
Cell Organization
Levels of Organization
Remember, the human body is organized in several levels, from the
simplest to the most complex. . .
       Cells – the basic unit of life
       Tissues – clusters of cells performing a similar function
       Organs – made of tissues that perform one specific
         function
       Organ Systems – groups of organs that perform a
                 specific purpose in the human body
***The purpose of the 11 organ systems is for the human body to
maintain homeostasis.
Cell Organization
β€’   The cell includes two basic parts:

    1. Cell Membrane (outer covering of cell)

    2. Cytoplasm
       β€’ Cytosol (fluid portion of the
         cytoplasm)
       β€’ Organelles (cell β€œorgans” or
         functional parts)
Cell Membrane
β€’   Outer boundary
β€’   Physical
β€’   Chemical
β€’   Comprised of two layers of lipid (fat)
    – Outer and inner layers
β€’ Proteins
β€’ Proteins give the cell its unique β€œpersonality”
  or function
Cell Membrane
Function of Membrane Proteins
1.   Transport (in and out of cell)
2.   Receptors
3.   Cell adhesion
4.   Cell recognition
Cell Organization
Cytoplasm
β€’   Is comprised of:
1. Cytosol (fluid portion of the
    cytoplasm)

2. Organelles (cell β€œorgans” or functional
    parts)
Cytosol
β€’ Intracellular fluid
β€’ Contains dissolved nutrients, ions, proteins
  and waste products
Organelles
1. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
β€’ A network of membrane-bound tunnels
   throughout the cytoplasm
ER
     Rough ER




                Smooth ER
Ribosomes
β€’ Particles attached to ER are ribosomes.
β€’ Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis
  within every cell.
Golgi Apparatus
β€’ Flattened membranes
β€’ Involved in packaging and secretion of
  proteins
Golgi Apparatus
Mitochondria
β€’ Bean shaped
β€’ Outer and inner membranes
Mitochondria
β€’ Inner membrane folded into cristae
β€’ Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) produced on
  cristae.
β€’ ATP is high energy compound.
β€’ ATP only produced in mitochondria.
Nucleus
Nucleus
β€’ Control center of cell
β€’ Contains DNA/chromosomes
β€’ Genetic repository for ~ 35,000 genes
β€’ Genes control the synthesis of proteins in
  each cell.
β€’ Red blood cells don’t have a nucleus.
β€’ Skeletal muscle cells have multiple nuclei.
β€’ Acid
solutions have a high
hydrogen ion concentration

β€’ Base or alkaline
  solutions have a low
  hydrogen ion concentration
β€’ All organisms are composed of energy and matter.
  Matter and energy work together to build and run the
  human body.

β€’ Elements are bonded together to form a wide array
  of structural and functional molecules. Molecules
  need a constant supply of energy to carry out their
  roles.

β€’ Humans are primarily composed of organic
  molecules called biochemicals. It is necessary to
  take in appropriate portions of the biochemicals
  needed to replace those that are used up.

The Digestive System
Purpose: to convert food particles into simpler micro
molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and
used by the body
Major Organs and their Functions:
Mouth – to chew and grind up food
      -- saliva also begins the chemical breakdown
Esophagus – pipe connecting mouth to stomach (25cms)
Stomach – secretes an extraordinarily strong acid (pH = 2) that
leads to breakdown of food
      -- once the food is broken down in the stomach and
mixed with digestive juices, it is called chyme
Pancreas – produces the hormone insulin that regulates
blood      sugar levels
      -- also help neutralize stomach acid
Liver – produces bile, which breaks down fats in foods
Gallbladder – pouch-like organ that stores bile for future use
Small Intestine – after digestion is complete, the chyme
enters the small intestine where it is absorbed into the
bloodstream
       -- the chyme is propelled along by folded surfaces
called villi, on the intestine
Large Intestine – removes water from the chyme and gets the
waste ready for excretion

Major Organs and Their Functions
Nose – internal entry and exit point for air
Pharynx – serves as a passage way for both air and food at the
back of the throat
Larynx – your β€œvoicebox”, as air passes over your vocal
chords, you speak
Trachea – the β€œwindpipe”, or what connects your pharynx to your
lungs
      -- a piece of skin, called the epiglottis, covers the trachea
when you swallow, preventing food from entering
Bronchi – the two large passageways that lead from the trachea to
your lungs (one for each lung)
       -- the bronchi are further subdivided into bronchioles
       -- eventually, the further subdivisions lead to tiny air
       sacs called alveoli
       -- alveoli are in clusters, like grapes
       -- capillaries surrounding each alveolus is where
       the exchange of gases with the blood occurs
The diaphragm is the muscle that causes you to breath
       -- hiccups are involuntary contractions of the
       diaphragm

The Circulatory System

Purpose: to deliver oxygenated blood to the various cells and organ
systems in your body so they can undergo cellular respiration
Major Organs and Their Functions
Heart – the major muscle of the circulatory system
       -- pumps blood through its four chambers (two ventricles
and two atria)
       -- pumps deoxygenated blood into the lungs, where it
       gets oxygenated, returned to the heart, and then pumped out
through the aorta to the rest of the body
       -- valve regulate the flow of blood between the chambers
Arteries – carry blood away from the heart and to the major organs
of the body
Veins – carry blood back to the heart away from the major organs of
the body
Capillaries – small blood vessels where gas exchange occurs
Blood – the cells that flow through the circulatory system
        -- red blood cells contain hemoglobin, an iron-rich protein
that carries oxygen
       -- white blood cells function in the immune system
       -- platelets help in blood clotting
Spleen – helps to filter out toxins in the blood

When skeletal muscles contract, they may
produce two types of contractions:
        Isotonic contraction
        Isometric contraction
Isotonic contraction – as tension increases (more motor
units recruited), length of muscle changes usually
resulting in movement of a joint. The tension (load) on a
muscle stays constant (iso = same, tonic = tension)
during a movement. (Example: lifting a baby, picking up
object, walking, etc. )
Isometric contraction – no change in length of muscle
even as tension increases. The length of a muscle stays
constant (iso = same, metric = length) during a
β€œcontraction” (Example: holding a baby at arms
length, pushing against a closed door.)
Necessary in everyday life to counteract effects of gravity
(e.g. postural muscles keeping head up)
The Immune System

Purpose: to remove infectious diseases and other pathogens from
the human body
Major Organs and Their Functions
Skin – also called the integumentary system, the skin is the body’s
first line of defense
White Blood Cells – recognize disease agents (antigens) and create
antibodies to tag and remove these antigens
       -- phagocytes are the white blood cell type that actually
       eats and destroys these antigens
Lymph Nodes – help restore fluid lost by the blood and return it to
the circulatory system

Anatomy and physiology for yoga students

  • 1. Anatomy and Physiology for Yoga Students worldwide Dr Shashikant drshashikantsk@gmail.com Basic
  • 2.
  • 3.
  • 4. Cell Theory β€’ Term β€œcell” was coined in 1665 by Robert Hooke when he looked at a slice of dried cork. He also observed that: 1. All living things are comprised of cells. 2. Cells are the smallest β€œliving” unit in an organisms. 3. Cells come from previously existing cells.
  • 5. Cell Diversity β€’ Lots of shapes and sizes
  • 8. Levels of Organization Remember, the human body is organized in several levels, from the simplest to the most complex. . . Cells – the basic unit of life Tissues – clusters of cells performing a similar function Organs – made of tissues that perform one specific function Organ Systems – groups of organs that perform a specific purpose in the human body ***The purpose of the 11 organ systems is for the human body to maintain homeostasis.
  • 9. Cell Organization β€’ The cell includes two basic parts: 1. Cell Membrane (outer covering of cell) 2. Cytoplasm β€’ Cytosol (fluid portion of the cytoplasm) β€’ Organelles (cell β€œorgans” or functional parts)
  • 10. Cell Membrane β€’ Outer boundary β€’ Physical β€’ Chemical β€’ Comprised of two layers of lipid (fat) – Outer and inner layers β€’ Proteins β€’ Proteins give the cell its unique β€œpersonality” or function
  • 12. Function of Membrane Proteins 1. Transport (in and out of cell) 2. Receptors 3. Cell adhesion 4. Cell recognition
  • 14. Cytoplasm β€’ Is comprised of: 1. Cytosol (fluid portion of the cytoplasm) 2. Organelles (cell β€œorgans” or functional parts)
  • 15. Cytosol β€’ Intracellular fluid β€’ Contains dissolved nutrients, ions, proteins and waste products
  • 16.
  • 17. Organelles 1. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) β€’ A network of membrane-bound tunnels throughout the cytoplasm
  • 18. ER Rough ER Smooth ER
  • 19. Ribosomes β€’ Particles attached to ER are ribosomes. β€’ Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis within every cell.
  • 20. Golgi Apparatus β€’ Flattened membranes β€’ Involved in packaging and secretion of proteins
  • 22. Mitochondria β€’ Bean shaped β€’ Outer and inner membranes
  • 23. Mitochondria β€’ Inner membrane folded into cristae β€’ Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) produced on cristae. β€’ ATP is high energy compound. β€’ ATP only produced in mitochondria.
  • 25. Nucleus β€’ Control center of cell β€’ Contains DNA/chromosomes β€’ Genetic repository for ~ 35,000 genes β€’ Genes control the synthesis of proteins in each cell. β€’ Red blood cells don’t have a nucleus. β€’ Skeletal muscle cells have multiple nuclei.
  • 26. β€’ Acid solutions have a high hydrogen ion concentration β€’ Base or alkaline solutions have a low hydrogen ion concentration
  • 27. β€’ All organisms are composed of energy and matter. Matter and energy work together to build and run the human body. β€’ Elements are bonded together to form a wide array of structural and functional molecules. Molecules need a constant supply of energy to carry out their roles. β€’ Humans are primarily composed of organic molecules called biochemicals. It is necessary to take in appropriate portions of the biochemicals needed to replace those that are used up.
  • 29. Superficial Anatomy Generally consider body in Anatomical Position while studied Two other positions: supine and prone Anatomical Directions Anterior vs. ?; medial vs. ?; superior vs. ? . . . Etc. . . . Proximal vs. distal
  • 30.
  • 31.
  • 33. In the clinic: Abdomino-pelvic Regions
  • 34. Body Planes β€’ Sagittal plane - Divides the body into right and left halves. β€’ Transverse (Horizontal) plane - Divides the body into superior and inferior halves. β€’ Frontal (Coronal) plane - Divides the body into anterior or ventral and posterior or dorsal halves.
  • 35.
  • 36. Orientation Terminology β€’ Left Right β€’ Superior Inferior β€’ Anterior Posterior β€’ Ventral Dorsal β€’ Proximal Distal β€’ Medial Lateral β€’ Superficial Deep β€’ Adduct Abduct β€’ Cranial Caudal
  • 37.
  • 39. ( Anatomy and Physiology for Yoga students - Dr Shashikant (drshashikantsk@gmail.com)
  • 40. Movement Terminology β€’ Abduction Adduction β€’ Flexion Extension β€’ Inversion Eversion β€’ Dorsiflexion Plantarflexion β€’ Pronation Supination β€’ Lateral rotation Medial rotation β€’ Protrusion Retrusion β€’ Elevation Depression β€’ Opposition Reposition β€’ Circumduction
  • 41.
  • 42. Structure of Cell β€’ Cell is a structural & Functional unit of human body, capable of carrying out functions of life independently. – Nucleus – Cytoplasm – Cell Membrane Functions of Cell - Production of Bio-Energy - Storage - Multiplication - Specific function according to location
  • 43.
  • 44. Systems β€’ Muscular System β€’ Skeletal System β€’ Digestive System β€’ Respiratory System β€’ Circulatory System β€’ Excretory System β€’ Reproductive System (Male & Female) β€’ Nervous System β€’ Endocrine System
  • 45. Overview of Anatomy & Physiology β€’ Anatomy – the study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another – Gross or macroscopic – Microscopic – Developmental β€’ Physiology – the study of the function of the body’s structural machinery [characteristics and mechanisms that make it a living being.]
  • 46. Gross Anatomy β€’ Regional – all structures in one part of the body (such as the abdomen or leg) β€’ Systemic – gross anatomy of the body studied by system β€’ Surface – study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin
  • 47. Microscopic Anatomy β€’ Cytology – study of the cell β€’ Histology – study of tissues
  • 48. Developmental Anatomy β€’ Traces structural changes throughout life β€’ Embryology – study of developmental changes of the body before birth
  • 49. Physiology β€’ Considers the operation of specific organ systems – Renal – kidney function – Neurophysiology – workings of the nervous system – Cardiovascular – operation of the heart and blood vessels β€’ Focuses on the functions of the body, often at the cellular or molecular level
  • 50. Physiology β€’ Understanding physiology also requires a knowledge of physics, which explains electrical currents, blood pressure, and the way muscle uses bone for movement
  • 51. Principle of Complementarity β€’ An anatomical structure usually reflects its function [Form follows function] β€’ What a structure can do depends on its specific form
  • 52. Levels of Structural Organization β€’ Chemical – atoms combined to form molecules β€’ Cellular – cells are made of molecules β€’ Tissue – consists of similar types of cells β€’ Organ – made up of different types of tissues β€’ Organ system – consists of different organs that work closely together β€’ Organismal – made up of the organ systems
  • 53. Levels of Structural Organization Smooth muscle cell Molecules 2 Cellular level Cells are made up of molecules Atoms 1 Chemical level Atoms combine to Smooth form molecules muscle tissue Heart 3 Tissue level Cardiovascular Tissues consist of system Blood similar types of cells vessels Epithelial tissue Smooth Blood muscle vessel tissue (organ) 6 Organismal level Connective The human organism is made tissue up of many organ systems 4 Organ level Organs are made up of different 5 Organ system level types of tissues Organ systems consist of different organs that work together closely Figure 1.1
  • 54. Organ Systems of the Body β€’ Integumentary system – Forms the external body covering – Composed of the skin, sweat glands, oil glands, hair, and nails – Protects deep tissues from injury and synthesizes vitamin D
  • 55. Organ Systems of the Body β€’ Skeletal system – Composed of bone, cartilage, and ligaments [with the joints they make up] – Protects and supports body organs – Provides the framework for muscles – Site of blood cell formation – Stores minerals

  • 58. Organ Systems of the Body β€’ Cardiovascular system – Composed of the heart and blood vessels – The heart pumps blood – The blood vessels transport blood throughout the body
  • 59. Organ Systems of the Body β€’ Lymphatic system – Composed of red bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, and lymphatic vessels – Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood – Disposes of debris in the lymphatic stream – Houses white blood cells involved with immunity
  • 60. Organ Systems of the Body β€’ Respiratory system – Composed of the nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs – Keeps blood supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide
  • 61. Organ Systems of the Body β€’ Digestive system – Composed of the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus, and liver – Breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood – Eliminates indigestible foodstuffs as feces
