About the Author Sylvia S Mader In her 20-year career with McGraw-Hill, Dr Mader has written an impressive collection of textbooks. Aside from Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology, now in its fifth edition, Dr. Mader has written Biology, eighth edition; Human Biology eighth edi- tion,and Inquiry into Life, tenth edition, through which Dr. Mader has successfully helped innumerable students learn biology as well as human anatomy and physiology. Dr. Mader's interest in anatomy and physiology began when she took courses at the Medical School of St Andrews Uni versity, in Scotland, during her junior year abroad. As a fledgling faculty member, she was called upon to teach a variety of courses, among them was human anatomy and physiology. As a textbook writer she discovered that the teaching and learning techniques she so successfully used in the classroom were appropriate for her biology texts and then later for her anatomy and physiology text. Dr. Mader's direct writing style and carefully constructed pedagogy provide students with an opportunity to learn the basics of biology and

Mader: Understanding Human Anatomy & Physiology, Fifth Edition Front Matter Preface © The McGraw−Hill Companies, 2004 We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves. Galileo Galilei Over the years, it has been my privilege to meet many of the adopters of my texts at various meetings around the coun￾try. At one such meeting, I met a professor who told me that he and his colleagues were using my book, Human Biology for an anatomy and physiology course because they wanted to use a Mader text. When I returned home, I pondered over this and decided that I would write an anatomy and physi￾ology text so that professors teaching that course would have a more appropriate Mader textbook. Thus, began the development of this text, Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology, which is now in its fifth edition. I wanted to write a text that would appeal to a wide au￾dience_from those in traditional allied health fields to oth￾ers who are a bit removed from traditional endeavors. The book should be clear and direct, with objectives that are achievable by students who have no previous science back￾ground and even by those who are science shy. This goal was reached. Diane Kelly, of Broome Community College, writes, “I think the text is very readable, clear, and user friendly. The art is a wonderful complement to the author’s writing; together, the information is clearly presented.” Mader texts are well known for their pedagogical features, and those for this text are described in the Guided Tour on pages xv-xx. Also, as with other Mader texts, the illustra￾tions are excellent. William J. Burke, of Madison Area Technical College, states, “This text has some very good art. It is well labeled and has a good color scheme that helps it stand out. The inclusion of the many tables and charts is also an excellent learning tool for the students.” My vision for Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology encompasses three goals. I want students to develop a working knowledge of (1) anatomy and physiology that is based on conceptual understanding rather than rote mem￾ory; (2) medical terminology that will increase the stu￾dent’s confidence in their chosen field; and (3) clinical ap￾plications to broaden their horizons beyond the core principles. Dr. Philip Swartz, of Houston Community College system, writes, “Each chapter includes salient clinical concepts that will be fascinating to the reader and enhance his or her understanding of the material being presented.” viii About the Author Sylvia S. Mader In her 20-year career with McGraw-Hill, Dr. Mader has written an impressive collection of textbooks.

Mader: Understanding Human Anatomy & Physiology, Fifth Edition Front Matter Preface © The McGraw−Hill Companies, 2004 Preface ix What’s New to This Edition? New Design and Illustrations A new, colorful design and revised illustrations enhance the features of Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology, fifth edition. Organization This edition follows the same general sequence as the earlier editions. It is divided into five parts: Part I, “Human Organization,” provides an understanding of how the body is organized and the terminology used to refer to various body parts and their locations. Chapters 2 through 4 describe the chemistry of the cell, cell structure and function, and the tissues and membranes of the body. Part II, “Support, Movement, and Protection,” includes the integumentary system in addition to the skeletal and muscular systems. Part III, “Integration and Coordination,” explains that the nervous and endocrine systems are vitally important to the coordination of body systems, and therefore homeostasis, while the sensory system provides the nervous system with information about the internal and external environments. Part IV, “Maintenance of the Body,” describes how the cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis. Part V, “Reproduction and Development,” concerns the reproductive systems, development, and the basics of human genetics, including modern advances. Homeostasis The theme of homeostasis is strengthened in this edition. As before, Chapter 1 describes how various feedback mecha￾nisms work to maintain the internal environment within a narrow range. New to this edition, each systems chapter ends with a major section on homeostasis to accompany the “Hu￾man Systems Work Together” illustration. This section de￾scribes how the system under discussion, with the help of the other systems, maintains homeostasis. New Readings Understanding Human Anatomy and Physiology, fifth edition, has two types of readings. Previously, the book had two types of readings called Medical Focus and MedAlert. In this edition, the readings are Medical Focus and What’s New. Some of the Medical Focus readings from the fourth edition have been re￾moved, and most of the others have been revised. The What’s New readings, which are new to this edition, tell of treatments that are now experimental but promise to be particularly help￾ful in the future. For example, a What’s New box in the first chapter tells about organs made in the laboratory that are now being transplanted into patients. The What’s New reading in Chapter 8 describes a “pacemaker” for Parkinson disease. Chapter Openers Scanning electron micrographs, X-rays, and MRI images open the chapters for a closer look into the wonders of the human body. The integrated outline has been retained with the addi￾tion of a numbering system for each major concept found in the chapter, including the summary. Visual Focus Visual Focus illustrations are included in several chapters. With the addition of boxed statements, these in-depth illustra￾tions, which contain several art pieces, cover a process from start to finish. For example, Figure 7.3 outlines contraction of a muscle from the macroscopic to the microscopic perspective. Chapter End Matter This edition includes updated Selected New Terms, Sum￾maries, Study Questions, Objective Questions, Medical Ter￾minology Reinforcement Exercises, and Website Links to the Online Learning Center. Objective Questions Labeling exercises have been added to chapters 8, 11, 14, and 18 to reinforce the concepts of the chapter. Chapter Updates and Additions Chapter 1: Organization of the Body New illustrations, tables, and a reading titled “Organs for Transplant” introduce the student to the human body. The discussion of negative feedback now includes temperature control as an example and also includes a discussion of posi￾tive feedback, as requested by reviewers. Chapter 2: Chemistry of Life This chapter has been reorganized and rewritten to help stu￾dents understand fundamental chemistry concepts. Carbohy￾drates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids each have their own major section. Chapter 3: Cell Structure and Function Cellular Organization, Crossing the Plasma Membrane, and The Cell Cycle are clearly defined as chapter sections. Tables

The Medical Focus reading, “Dehydration and Water Intoxication” is also new to this edition. Chapter 4: Body Tissues and Membranes Each type of tissue now has its own major section. In addition to body membranes, connections between cells and different types of glands are discussed in respective sections. Art and ta￾bles have been revised for this chapter. Chapter 5: The Integumentary System Section 5.5. Homeostasis is new to this edition. It shows how the various functions of the skin assist the body in maintain￾ing homeostasis. Also discussed are hyperthermia and hy￾pothermia, which occur when homeostasis has been over￾come. The section is accompanied by an updated Human Systems Work Together illustration. Chapter 6: The Skeletal System New illustrations, each of which is on the same or a facing page to its reference, much improve this chapter. More infor￾mation is given about each bone and joint discussed. The chapter ends with a review of the many ways the skeletal sys￾tem helps maintain homeostasis. Chapter 7: The Muscular System The first two illustrations in this chapter are new: The first shows the three types of muscles, and the second describes the connective tissue coverings within and around a skeletal mus￾cle. Instructors and students will appreciate the new in-depth discussion of the sources of energy for muscle contraction, which is also accompanied by a new illustration. Chapter 8: The Nervous System This chapter was rewritten. In particular, the discussion of the cerebrum has been expanded to include not only the various lobes but also the areas within these lobes. The somatic sys￾tem of the peripheral nervous system is now clearly defined, and the spinal reflex has been moved to this section. New il￾lustrations support improved discussions of all aspects of the nervous system. Chapter 9: The Sensory System Types of senses, rather than types of receptors, are now used to organize this chapter. The discussions of the anatomy and physiology of the eye and ear are better organized, with an em￾phasis on how information regarding vision and sound is gen￾erated and transmitted to the brain. The sense of equilibrium is now divided into rotational and gravitational equilibrium. Chapter 10: The Endocrine System An overview of the endocrine glands now precedes an im￾proved discussion of each gland. A new illustration shows how the adrenal medulla and the adrenal cortex are in￾volved in short-term and long-term stress, respectively. Other new illustrations pertain to regulation of blood cal￾cium, regulation of blood pressure, Addison disease, and Cushing syndrome. The chapter also includes a discussion of chemical signals in general and how hormones affect cel￾lular metabolism. Chapter 11: Blood A detailed description of the composition and function of blood now opens the chapter. There follows a more compre￾hensive look at the formed elements. The section on platelets centers around hemostasis, including coagulation. The trans￾port function of blood is illustrated by considering capillary exchange. The last section of the chapter, Blood Typing and Transfusions, is supported by new art that clearly illustrates blood types and agglutination. Chapter 12: The Cardiovascular System An overview of the cardiovascular system, supported by an illustration, offers a much-improved introduction to the chapter, which has been reorganized into five parts: the anatomy of the heart, the physiology of the heart, the anatomy of blood vessels, the physiology of circulation, and circulatory routes. A better discussion of cardiac output and peripheral resistance improves the presentation of the chapter. Chapter 13: The Lymphatic System and Body Defenses As requested by reviewers, the lymphatic organs are now divided into those that are primary and those that are sec￾ondary. The discussion of specific immunity is much im￾proved by new illustrations depicting the action of B cells and T cells. A new reading on emerging diseases modernizes the chapter. Chapter 14: The Respiratory System An improved Table 14.1, which includes a description of the respiratory organs, adds to the discussion of the respiratory system. The respiratory membrane is better described and is accompanied by a new illustration. The section entitled Mechanism of Breathing is better organized so that regulation of breathing rates now has its own subsection. Following reviewers’ suggestions, the chapter is more student friendly because gas exchange and transport no longer require a knowledge of partial pressures. All readings are new or exten￾sively revised. x Preface

The wall is strengthened by four pairs of muscles that run at angles to one another. The external and internal obliques and the transversus abdominis occur laterally, but the fasciae of these muscle pairs meet at the midline of the body, forming a tendinous area called the linea alba. The rectus abdominis is fi i l di l i f l Muscles of the Shoulder Muscles of the shoulder are shown in Figures 7.14 and 7.15. They are also listed in Table 7.4 on page 130. The muscles of the shoulder attach the scapula to the thorax and move the scapula; they also attach the humerus to the scapula and move the arm. Figure 7.15 Muscles of the posterior shoulder.

The detailed anatomy of spongy bone and compact bone is shown in the enlargement, along with a blowup of an osteocyte in a lacuna. 4.2 Connective Tissue Connective tissue binds structures together, provides support and protection, fills spaces, produces blood cells, and stores fat. The body uses this stored fat for energy, insulation, and organ protection. As a rule, connective tissue cells are widely separated by an extracellular matrix composed of an organic ground substance that contains fibers and varies in consistency from solid to semifluid to fluid. Whereas the functional and physical properties of epithelial tissues are derived from its cells, connective tissue properties are largely derived from the characteristics of the matrix (Table 4.2). The fibers within the matrix are of three types. White fibers contain collagen, a substance that gives the fibers flexi￾bility and strength. Yellow fibers contain elastin, which is not as strong as collagen but is more elastic. Reticular fibers are very thin, highly branched, collagenous fibers that form delicate supporting networks. ground substance fibroblast elastic fiber collagenous fiber Loose (Areolar) Connective Tissue Location: Between muscles; beneath the skin; beneath most epithelial layers Function: Binds organs together Figure 4.5 Loose (areolar) connective tissue.

Throughout life, bones are continuously remodeled. While a child is growing, the rate of bone formation is greater than the rate of bone breakdown. The skeletal mass continues to increase until ages 20 to 30. After that, the rates of formation and break￾down of bone mass are equal until ages 40 to 50. Then, reabsorp￾tion begins to exceed formation, and the total bone mass slowly decreases. Over time, men are apt to lose 25% and women 35% of their bone mass. But we have to consider that men tend to have denser bones than women anyway, and their testosterone (male sex hor￾mone) level generally does not begin to decline significantly until after age 65. In contrast, the estrogen (female sex hormone) level in women begins to decline at about age 45. Because sex hor￾mones play an important role in maintaining bone strength, this difference means that women are more likely than men to suffer fractures, involving especially the hip, vertebrae, long bones, and pelvis. Although osteoporosis may at times be the result of various disease processes, it is essentially a disease of aging. Everyone can take measures to avoid having osteoporosis when they get older. Adequate dietary calcium throughout life is an im￾portant protection against osteoporosis. The U.S. National Insti￾tutes of Health recommend a calcium intake of 1,200–1,500 mg per day during puberty. Males and females require 1,000 mg per day until age 65 and 1,500 mg per day after age 65, because the intestinal tract has fewer vitamin D receptors in the elderly. A small daily amount of vitamin D is also necessary to absorb calcium from the digestive tract. Exposure to sunlight is required to allow skin to synthesize vitamin D. If you reside on or north of a “line” drawn from Boston to Milwaukee, to Minneapolis, to Boise, chances are, you’re not getting enough vitamin D during the win￾ter months. Therefore, you should avail yourself of the vitamin D in fortified foods such as low-fat milk and cereal. Postmenopausal women should have an evaluation of their bone density. Presently, bone density is measured by a method called dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). This test mea￾sures bone density based on the absorption of photons generated by an X-ray tube. Soon, a blood and urine test may be able to detect the biochemical markers of bone loss, making it possible for physicians to screen all older women and at-risk men for osteoporosis. If the bones are thin, it is worthwhile to take measures to gain bone density because even a slight increase can significantly re￾duce fracture risk. Regular, moderate, weight-bearing exercise such as walking or jogging is a good way to maintain bone strength (Fig. 6A). A combination of exercise and drug treatment, as recommended by a physician, may yield the best results. A wide variety of prescribed drugs that have different modes of action are available. Hormone therapy includes black cohosh, which is a phytoestrogen (estrogen made by a plant as opposed to an animal). Calcitonin is a naturally occurring hormone whose main site of action is the skeleton where it inhibits the action of osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone. Promising new drugs include slow-release fluoride therapy and certain growth hor￾mones. These medications stimulate the formation of new bone. a. b. osteoporosis normal bone Figure 6A Preventing osteoporosis. a. Exercise can help prevent osteoporosis, but when playing golf, you should carry your own clubs and walk instead of using a golf cart. b. Normal bone growth compared to bone from a person with osteoporosis. Chapter 6 The Skeletal System 107 Coaxing the Chondrocytes for Knee Repair To the young, otherwise healthy, 30-something athlete on the physician’s exam table, the diagnosis must seem completely un￾fair. Perhaps he’s a former football player, or she’s a trained dancer. Whatever the sport or activity, the patient is slender and fit, but knee pain and swelling are this athlete’s constant compan￾ions. Examination of the knee shows the result of decades of use and abuse while performing a sport: The hyaline cartilage, also called articular cartilage, of the knee joint has degenerated. Hya￾line cartilage (see page 84) is the "Teflon coating" for the bones of freely movable joints such as the knee. Hyaline cartilage allows easy, frictionless movement between the bones of the joint. Once repeated use has worn it away, hyaline cartilage does not grow back naturally. Exposed bone ends can grind against one another, resulting in pain, swelling, and restricted movements that can cripple the athlete. In severe cases, total knee replacement with a prosthetic joint is the athlete’s only option (Fig. 6B). Now the technique of tissue culture (growing cells outside of the patient’s body in a special medium) can help young athletes with cartilage injuries regenerate their own hyaline cartilage. In an autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) surgery, a piece of healthy hyaline cartilage from the patient’s knee is first removed surgically. This piece of cartilage, about the size of a pencil eraser, is typically taken from an undamaged area at the top edge of the knee. The chondrocytes, living cells of hyaline cartilage, are grown outside the body in tissue culture medium. Millions of the pa￾tient’s own cells can be grown to create a "patch" of living carti￾lage. Growing these cells takes two to three weeks. Once the chon￾drocytes have grown, a pocket is created over the damaged area using the patient’s own periosteum, the connective tissue that sur￾rounds the bone (see page 84). The periosteum pocket will hold the hyaline cartilage cells in place. The cells are injected into the pocket and left to grow. As with all injuries to the knee, once the cartilage cells are firmly established, the patient still faces a lengthy rehabilitation. The patient must use crutches or a cane for three to four months to protect the joint. Physical therapy will stimulate cartilage growth without overstressing the area being repaired. In six months, the athlete can return to light-impact training and jogging. Full work￾outs can be resumed in about one year after surgery. However, most patients regain full mobility and a pain-free life after ACI sur￾gery and do not have to undergo total knee replacement. ACI surgery can’t be used for the elderly or for overweight pa￾tients with osteoarthritis. Muscle or bone defects in the knee joint must be corrected before the surgery can be attempted. As with all surgeries, there is a risk for postoperative complications, such as bleeding or infection. However, ACI may offer young athletes the chance to restore essential hyaline cartilage and regain a healthy, functional knee joint. polyethylene polyethylene pelvis femur femur a. tibia b. Figure 6B Artificial joints in which polyethylene replaces articular cartilage. a. Knee. b. Hip. 6.5 Effects of Aging Both cartilage and bone tend to deteriorate as a person ages. The chemical nature of cartilage changes, and the bluish color typical of young cartilage changes to an opaque, yellowish color. The chondrocytes die, and reabsorption occurs as the cartilage undergoes calcification, becoming hard and brittle. Calcification interferes with the ready diffusion of nutrients and waste products through the matrix. The articular cartilage may no longer function properly, and the symptoms of arthri￾tis can appear. There are three common types of arthritis: (1) Osteoarthritis is accompanied by deterioration of the ar￾ticular cartilage. (2) In rheumatoid arthritis, the synovial membrane becomes inflamed and grows thicker cartilage, possibly due to an autoimmune reaction. (3) Gout, or gouty arthritis, is caused by an excessive buildup of uric acid (a metabolic waste) in the blood. Rather than being excreted in the urine, the acid is deposited as crystals in the joints, where it causes inflammation and pain. Osteoporosis, discussed in the Medical Focus on page 88, is present when weak and thin bones cause aches and pains. Such bones tend to fracture easily. Effects of Aging presents some of the age-related physical and functional changes that occur in the body. What’s New Readings offer fascinating information on treatments that are now experimental but promise to be particularly helpful in the future. Medical Focus Readings encourage students to explore clinical examples that they may see throughout their health care career or within their own family. “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” – John Dewey xvii
