When most people hear the term cardio-vascular system, they immediately think of the heart. We have all felt our own heart “pound” from time to time when we are ner- vous. The crucial importance of the heart has been recognized for ages. However, the cardiovascular system is much more than just the heart, and from a scientific and medical standpoint, it is important to understand why this system is so vital to life.

Night and day, minute after minute, our tril- lions of cells take up nutrients and excrete wastes. Although the pace of these exchanges slows dur- ing sleep, they must go on continuously: when they stop, we die. Cells can make such exchanges

only with the interstitial fluid in their immediate vicinity. Thus, some means of changing and “refreshing” these fluids is necessary to renew the nutrients and prevent pollution caused by the buildup of wastes. Like a bustling factory, the body must have a transportation system to carry its various “cargoes” back and forth. Instead of roads, railway tracks, and subways, the body’s delivery routes are its hollow blood vessels.

Most simply stated, the major function of the cardiovascular system is transportation. Using blood as the transport vehicle, the system carries oxygen, nutrients, cell wastes, hormones, and many other substances vital for body homeostasis to and from the cells. The force to move the blood

The Cardiovascular System

WHAT

WHY

The cardiovascular system delivers oxygen and

nutrients to the body tissues and carries away wastes such as carbon dioxide

via blood.

The heart pumps blood throughout the body in blood vessels. Blood flow

requires both the pumping action of the heart and changes in

blood pressure.

If the cardiovascular system cannot perform its

functions, wastes build up in tissues. Body organs fail to function properly,

and then, once oxygen becomes depleted, they will die.

➔ConCeptLinkThe terms for the connective tissue coverings of a nerve should seem familiar: We discussed similar struc-tures in the muscle chapter (Figure 6.1, p. 209). Names of muscle structures include the root word mys, whereas the root word neuro tells you that the struc- ture relates to a nerve. For example, the endomysium covers one individual muscle fiber, whereas the endo- neurium covers one individual neuron fiber. ➔

Like neurons, nerves are classified according to the direction in which they transmit impulses. Nerves that carry impulses only toward the CNS are called sensory (afferent) nerves, whereas those that carry only motor fibers are motor (efferent) nerves. Nerves carrying both sensory and motor fibers are called mixed nerves; all spi- nal nerves are mixed nerves.

About the Authors

Elaine Marieb After receiving her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Elaine N. Marieb joined the faculty of the Biological Science Division of Holyoke Community College. While teaching at Holyoke Community College, where many of her students were pursu- ing nursing degrees, she developed a desire to bet- ter understand the relationship between 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 specializa- tion in gerontology from the University of Massa- chusetts. It is this experience that has informed the development of the unique perspective and acces- sibility for which her publications are known.

Dr. Marieb has given generously to provide oppor- tunities for students to further their education. She funds the E. N. Marieb Science Research Awards at Mount Holyoke College, which promotes research by undergraduate science majors, and has underwritten renovation of the biology labs in Clapp Laboratory at that college. Dr. Marieb also contributes to the Univer- sity of Massachusetts at Amherst, where she gener- ously provided funding for reconstruction and instrumentation of a cutting-edge cytology research laboratory. Recognizing the severe national shortage of nursing faculty, she underwrites the Nursing Schol- ars of the Future Grant Program at the university. In January 2012, Florida Gulf Coast University named a new health professions facility in her honor. The Dr. Elaine Nicpon Marieb Hall houses several specialized laboratories for the School of Nursing, made possible by Dr. Marieb’s generous support.

Suzanne Keller Suzanne M. Keller began her teaching career while she was still in graduate school at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. Inspired by her life- long passion for learning, Dr. Keller quickly adopted a teaching style focused on translating challenging concepts into easily understood parts using analogies and stories from her own experi- ences. An Iowa native, Dr. Keller uses her expertise to teach microbiology and anatomy and physiol- ogy at Indian Hills Community College, where most of her students are studying nursing or other health science programs.

Dr. Keller values education as a way for students to express their values through the careers they pursue. She supports those endeavors both in and out of the classroom by participating in her local Lions Club, by donating money to the Indian Hills Foundation to fund scholarships, and by financially supporting service-learning trips for students. Dr. Keller also enjoys sponsoring children in need with gifts for the holidays.

Dr. Keller is a member of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) and the Iowa Acad- emy of Science. Additionally, while engaged as an author, Dr. Keller has served on multiple advisory boards for various projects at Pearson and has authored assignments for the Pearson Mastering A&P online program. When not teaching or writ- ing, Dr. Keller enjoys reading, trav eling, family gatherings, and relaxing at home under the watch- ful eyes of her two canine children.

the seeds. Adults become upset when their hearts pound, when they have uncontrollable hot flashes, or when they cannot keep their weight down.

Anatomy and physiology, subdivisions of biol- ogy, explore many of these topics as they describe how our bodies are put together and how they work.

Anatomy Anatomy (ah-nat′o-me) is the study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts and their rela- tionships to one another. Whenever we look at our own body or study large body structures such as the heart or bones, we are observing gross anatomy;

An Overview of Anatomy and Physiology ➔ Learning Objectives

□□ Define anatomy and physiology.

□□ Explain how anatomy and physiology are related.

Most of us are naturally curious about our bodies; we want to know what makes us tick. Infants can keep themselves happy for a long time staring at their own hands or pulling their mother’s nose. Older children wonder where food goes when they swallow it, and some believe that they will grow a watermelon in their belly if they swallow

The Human Body: An Orientation

WHAT

HOW

WHY

Anatomy is the study of the structure, or

physical form, of the body.

The function, or physiology, of each body

part and the body as a whole is dependent on the anatomy of

those parts; in other words, structure determines

function.

This text will help you learn structures and functions

so you can understand the role of individual organs and body

systems and how they interact to support life.

Levels of structural Organization ➔ Learning Objectives

□□ name the six levels of structural organization that make up the human body, and explain how they are related.

□□ name the organ systems of the body, and briefly state the major functions of each system.

□□ Identify and classify by organ system all organs discussed.

From Atoms to Organisms The human body exhibits many levels of structural complexity (Figure 1.1). The simplest level of the structural ladder is the chemical level (covered in Chapter 2). At this level, atoms, tiny building blocks of matter, combine to form molecules such as water, sugar, and proteins, like those that make up our muscles. Molecules, in turn, associate in specific ways to form microscopic cells, the small- est units of all living things. (We will examine the cellular level in Chapter 3.) All cells have some common structures and functions, but individual cells vary widely in size, shape, and their particu- lar roles in the body.

The simplest living creatures are composed of single cells, but in complex organisms such as trees or human beings, the structural ladder con- tinues on to the tissue level. Tissues consist of groups of similar cells that have a common func- tion. There are four basic tissue types, and each plays a definite but different role in the body. (We discuss tissues in Chapter 3.)

An organ is a structure composed of two or more tissue types that performs a specific function for the body. At the organ level of organization, extremely complex functions become possible. For example, the small intestine, which digests and absorbs food, is composed of all four tissue types. An organ system is a group of organs that work together to accomplish a common purpose. For example, the heart and blood vessels of the cardiovascular system circulate blood continuously to carry nutrients and oxygen to all body cells.

In all, 11 organ systems make up the living human being, or the organism, which represents the highest level of structural organization, the organismal level. The organismal level is the sum total of all structural levels working together to keep us alive. The major organs of each system

that is, we are studying large, easily observable structures. Indeed, the term anatomy, derived from the Greek words meaning to cut (tomy) apart (ana), is related most closely to gross anatomical studies because in such studies, preserved animals or their organs are dissected (cut up) to be exam- ined. Microscopic anatomy, in contrast, is the study of body structures that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. The cells and tissues of the body can only be seen through a microscope.

Physiology Physiology (fiz″e-ol′o-je) is the study of how the body and its parts work or function ( physio = nature; ology = the study of). Like anatomy, physi- ology has many subdivisions. For example, neu- rophysiology explains the workings of the nervous system, and cardiac physiology studies the func- tion of the heart.

relationship between Anatomy and Physiology Anatomy and physiology are always inseparable. The parts of your body form a well-organized unit, and each of those parts has a job to do to make the body operate as a whole. Structure determines what functions can take place. For example, the lungs are not muscular chambers like the heart and so cannot pump blood through the body, but because the walls of their air sacs are very thin, they can exchange gases and provide oxygen to the body. We stress the intimate relationship between anatomy and physiology throughout this text to make your learning meaningful.

Did You Get It? 1. Why would you have a hard time learning and

understanding physiology if you did not also understand anatomy?

2. Kidney function, bone growth, and beating of the heart are all topics of anatomy. True or false?
