History of Anatomy and Physiology
How Time and Technology Played a Role
Primitive Man
Nomadic Followed food
Hunter-gatherers Concerned with
survival! To eat and not be eaten!
Agricultural Revolution
Realized had some control over life Start to manipulate
environment Less nomadic
Plant food More civilized
More time = more thought = more technology
Industrial Revolution Machines did work, urbanization
More sedentary Altered diets
More meat Transported food
Emergence of new diseases Diabetes, heart disease,
high cholesterol, obesity More time = more thought = even more
technology!
Biomedical Revolution
“Germ Theory of Disease” Microbes cause disease!
Better medicine - antibiotics
Better sanitation Sterile surgery Medical technology
Information Age “Smaller world” More information into more
hands quicker Surge of technology Obesity much more prevalent Longer life spans
Huge increase in time = huge increase in thought = huge increase in technology
What is A&P?
Anatomy “a cutting up” Study of body
structures Form and organization Examination
Physiology “relationship to nature” Study of body function What they do, how
they do it Experimentation
Structure makes function possible!How a part is constructed determines how
it works!
