1 Introduction to Medical Terminology
Einführung in die med. Fachsprache (Terminologie)
Viele medizinische Fachbegriffe kommen aus dem Griechischen oder aus dem
Lateinischen. Man muss aber nicht perfekt griechisch oder lateinisch sprechen,
um die medizinischen Fachbegriffe „zu einem Wortgebäude zusammenbauen“
zu können. Meistens ist es viel einfacher, als man denkt!
Wir unterscheiden in der Hauptsache drei Typen von Wortteilen:
1. Wortstamm („word roots“)
2. Nachsilben („suffixes“
3. Vorsilben („prefixes“)
Beispiel:
Gelenk / schmerzen
Wortstamm
Nachsilbe
Arthr / algie
An diesem Beispiel sehen wir, dass die Wortendung „-algie“ immer die
Bedeutung Schmerzen hat. Wenn wir nun andere Wortstämme mit der Endung
„-algie“ kombinieren, bekommen wir entsprechende Wortkombinationen, die alle
auf „ - schmerzen“ enden, wie z.B.
Ceph / algie
Kopfschmerzen
Neur / algie
Nervenschmerzen
Lumb / algie
Lendenschmerzen
My / algie
Muskelschmerzen
1
Wir sehen also, dass die einzelnen „Wortteile“ der Schlüssel zum Verständnis
der medizinischen Fachausdrücke sind.
Word Parts are the Key
Word roots or combining forms usually, but not always, indicate the
involved body part. Word roots or combining forms contain the basic
meaning of the term.
Compound words can be formed when two or more word roots are
used to build the word.
Suffixes come at the end of a word. Suffixes usually, but not always,
indicate the disorder, the procedure or the disease.
Prefixes always come at the beginning of a word. Prefixes usually, but
not always, indicate location, number, status or time.
Combining Vowels are necessary to make the medical term easier to
pronounce. A combining vowel may be needed between the word root
and the suffix. The letter “o” ist the most commonly used combining
vowel.
Üben und studieren Sie nun gründlich die folgenden Beispiele für
„zusammengesetzte Fachbegriffe“!
For example:
hydrotherapy (hydr/o/therapy)
HYDR
word root
=
+
O
+
THERAPY
vowel
word root
HYDROTHERAPY
compound word
2
microscope (micr/o/scope)
MICR
word root
=
+
+
O
vowel
SCOPE
word root
MICROSCOPE
compound word
RULES FOR USING THE COMBINING VOWEL
Rule 1:
Do not place a vowel between a prefix and the word root.
Rule 2:
Do not place a vowel between a suffix and the word root when the suffix
beginns with a vowel.
For example: An often used suffix is “-itis” (= inflammation). When the
word root “neur/o” ( “neur” means nerve) is joined with the suffix “itis”,
the combining vowel is not used because “-itis” begins with a vowel.
neuritis (neur/itis)
NEUR
word root
+
ITIS
=
NEURITIS
suffix
word
3
Rule 3:
A combining vowel is used when the suffix begins with a consonant.
For example: When the word root “neur/o” ( “neur” means nerve) is
joined with the suffix “-plasty” (surgical repair), the combining vowel “o”
is used because “-plasty” begins with a consonant.
neuroplasty (neur/o/plasty)
NEUR
+
word root
=
O
+
PLASTY
vowel
suffix
NEUROPLASTY
word
encephalotomy (encephal/o/tomy)
ENCEPHAL
word root
+
O
+
TOMY
vowel
suffix
The ending that follows a word root is a suffix. You can change the meaning of
a word by putting another part after it.

For example:
gastroduodenoscopy (gastr/o/duoden/o/scopy)
+
GASTR
word root
O
+
vowel
DUODEN
+

O
word root
SCOPY
vowel
suffix
electrocardiography (electr/o/cardi/o/graphy)
ELECTR

1 Introduction to the Human Body
33
Unser Körper ist ein Wunderwerk, eine geheimnisvolle Fabrik mit vielen
Abteilungen. Wir essen, schlafen, bewegen uns, atmen, denken, sprechen,
verdauen Speisen und vieles mehr. Dies ist alles nur möglich, weil jede
„Produktionsstätte“, jede einzelne „Fachabteilung“ -wir können auch
Organsystem dazu sagen- mit der anderen Fachabteilung eng
zusammenarbeitet. Je nachdem aus welcher Blickrichtung wir unseren Körper
betrachten, sehen und analysieren wir ihn.
Der Biologe sieht vor allem die Milliarden von Körperzellen, die helfen, den
Körper wachsen, gedeihen und mit den verschiedenen Organen
zusammenarbeiten zu lassen. Der Chemiker sieht natürlich an erster Stelle die
unzählbaren Atome und Moleküle (Atomverbindungen), die in jeder Sekunde
unseres Lebens chemische Reaktionen eingehen. Der Physiologe untersucht
die grundlegenden Lebensprozesse (z.B. Enzymreaktionen, hormonelle
Regelkreise usw.). Für den Ernährungswissenschaftler ist der menschlichen
Körper eine Ansammlung von Proteinen, Kohlenhydrate, Eiweiße, Mineralien,
Spurenelemente usw..Für den Ingenieur ist der Körper wiederum eine
unglaubliche Biomaschine, die sich selbst kontrolliert und gegebenenfalls auch
selbst repariert.

Levels of organization
The human body is highly organized from the single cell to the total organism.
35
The anatomy of the human body is composed of different levels of organization.
These levels represent a series of steps. Each level is a building step for the
next level.
Fill in the answer blanks with the correct terms for these increasingly
larger structures.
Using the following terms: cell, organ system, atoms, organism,
organelle, organ, molecules, tissue.

The spinal cavity, located within the spinal column, protects
the spinal chord.
The ventral cavity contains and protects many of the body organs. The
ventral cavity is divided into three parts:
The thoracic cavity, also known as the chest cavity, protects
the heart and the lungs. The diaphragm is a muscle that
separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
The abdominal cavity contains primarily the major organs of
digestion.
The pelvic cavity is the space formed by the pelvic.
The pelvic cavity contains primarily the organs of the
reproductive and excretory systems.

2 The Integumentary System
In diesem Kapitel beschäftigen wir uns mit der Haut. Wer meint, dass die Haut
„nur“ eine einfache „Hülle“ des Menschen sei, der irrt. Die Haut ist mit einer
Oberfläche von ca. 2 m² das größte Organ des Menschen und außerdem ein
lebenswichtiges Organ, das viele Aufgaben wahrnimmt.
Was bietet uns die Haut?
Schutz bei chemischen Schädigungen
Schutz gegenüber Druck, Stößen und Reibung
Schutz vor dem Eindringen von Mikroorganismen
Schutz vor dem Verlust von Wasser und Wärme
Schutz vor Kälte, Hitze und Strahlung
Schutz vor Überhitzung (Wärmeregulation z.B. durch
Schweißabsonderung
Verdunstungskälte)
7. Regulation der Körperwärme durch Änderung der Durchblutung
8. Größtes Sinnesorgan des Körpers ( mit Druck-, Schmerz-, und
Temperaturrezeptoren , Tastsinn)

Um die obigen Aufgaben erfüllen zu können, besteht die Haut aus
verschiedenen Haut- bzw. Zellschichten. Die drei wichtigen Hautschichten
heißen:
1. Oberhaut (Epidermis)
2. Lederhaut (Corium)
3. Unterhaut (Subcutis)

3 The Skeleton System
Wenn wir auf die Welt kommen, verfügen wir über ca. 350 Knochen. Durch
Verschmelzen einiger Knochen besitzt der Erwachsene noch ca. 206 Knochen.
Diese Knochen, sowie die dazugehörenden Knorpel und Bänder gehören zum
Skelett ( = passiver Bewegungsapparat).
Nach ihrer Form können wir die verschiedenen Knochen in Röhrenknochen
(z.B. Oberarmknochen, Schienbein, Wadenbein usw.), platte Knochen (z.B.
Brustbein) und kurze, unregelmäßige Knochen (z.B. Hand- und Fußwurzelknochen, Wirbel usw.) einteilen.
Das Knochengewebe besteht aus ca. 20% Wasser, 25% organischen
Substanzen und 55% anorganischen Salzen (z.B. Kalziumphosphat,
Kalziumkarbonat, usw.). Diese Knochensalze verleihen dem einzelnen Knochen
seine Festigkeit, während die organischen Substanzen für seine Elastizität
sorgen.
Das Knorpelgewebe zeichnet sich durch eine hohe Druckfestigkeit und
Elastizität aus. Am häufigsten findet man daher Knorpelgewebe an den
Körperstellen, wo hohe mechanische Belastungen auftreten (z.B. Bandscheiben
der Wirbelsäule).
Das Bindegewebe sorgt für hohe Zug- und Biegefestigkeit. Bindegewebszellen
und sogenannte kollagene Fasern finden wir daher vor allem in den Bändern
und Sehnen.

Bitte übersetzen Sie den folgenden Text:
The Skeletal System
The skeleton is the framework which gives the body its shape. The average
human adult skeleton has 206 bones.
The skeleton has two main parts:
the axial skeleton and
the appendicular skeleton.
The axial skeleton consists of the skull, the spine, the ribs and the sternum
(breastbone) and includes 80 bones.
The appendicular skeleton includes two limb girdles (the shoulders and pelvis)
and their attached limb bones. This part of the skeletal system contains 126
bones, 64 in the shoulders and upper limbs and 62 in the pelvis and lower
limbs.
The skeleton is not just a movable frame, however; it is an efficient factory
which produces for example red blood cells from the red bone marrow . The
bones are also a storehouse for minerals - calcium, for example- which can be
supplied to other parts of the body.
The bones are made up of several different tissues and have different shapes.
The tissues which form the bones are the following connective tissues:
bone tissue
fibrous tissue
cartilage tissue
adipose tissue
The skeletal system provides at least five functions for the human body:
1. Protection
2. Support
3. Movement
4. Mineral Storage
5. Blood Cell Formation
67
There are five kinds of bones that develop in the body:
1. Long bones are found in the arms (i.e. humerus)
2. Short bones include the Carpals (wrist) and tarsals (ankle).
3. Flat bones such as the sternum.
4. Irregular bones such as mandible (jawbone) and vertebrae.
5. Sesamoid bones are seed-shape, found in joints (i.e. patella).

The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ provides the framework of the body and it has several
functions. One function is that of protection, for example:
The _ _ _ _ _ protects the brain. The rib cage protects the _ _ _ _ _
and the lungs and the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ protects the spinal
cord.
An other function is that of support, for example:
The vertebral column has four different _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ along its
length. These curvatures give the backbone a great _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to
support bodyweight. Others bones, such as the _ _ _ _ bones in the
legs and arms, contribute great mechanical _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
A third function is that of movement:
Skeletal muscles attach to the bones. As the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ contract
they pull on the bones and produce _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
The structures of the skeletal system include: bones, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ,
ligaments, _ _ _ _ _ _ and bursa.
Bones are connected to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that contract to move the body.
Joints are the spaces between bones. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ connect bones

5 The Muscular System
Während das Skelett zum passiven Bewegungsapparat gezählt wird, bildet die
Muskulatur den aktiven Teil des Bewegungsapparates.
Der menschlichen Körper besteht aus hunderten von Einzelmuskeln von
unterschiedlicher Größe und Form. Alle Muskeln besitzen die Eigenschaft , sich
auf entsprechende Nervenreize hin in Längsrichtung zusammenziehen zu
können (= Kontraktilität).
Grundsätzlich unterscheiden wir zwischen folgenden drei Muskelgewebearten:
1. Glattes Muskelgewebe, wie z.B. die Eingeweidemuskulatur.
Glattes Muskelgewebe ist nicht willkürlich beeinflussbar und spezialisiert
auf langandauernde, aber schwächere Leistung.
Glatte Muskulatur ist nicht ermüdbar.
2. Quergestreiftes Muskelgewebe, wie z.B. die Skelettmuskulatur.
Quergestreiftes Muskelgewebe ist willkürlich beeinflussbar, spezialisiert
auf kurzfristige, starke Leistung und relativ schnell ermüdbar.
3. Netzförmiges Muskelgewebe, wie z.B. die Herzmuskulatur.
Das Herzmuskelgewebe ist nicht willkürlich beeinflussbar und
spezialisiert auf relativ starke Dauerleistung. Das Herzmuskelgewebe ist
nicht ermüdbar.
Jeder Muskel kann durch seine Kontraktion (Zusammenziehung) sich aktiv nur
verkürzen. Für die Gegenbewegung benötigt jeder Muskel einen Gegenspieler
(Antagonisten).
Für seine Arbeit hat jeder einzelne Muskel einen großen Energiebedarf. Daher
durchziehen zahlreiche Blutgefäße (Kapillaren) die Muskulatur, um die
notwendige Sauerstoff- und Nährstoffversorgung zur Verfügung zu stellen.
Zu jedem Zeitpunkt befinden sich die Muskeln in kontrahiertem Zustand. Die
Muskelkontraktionen versetzen den Muskel in einen gewissen Spannungszustand (= Tonus) und geben dem Körper Halt .

The muscular system consists of a large number of muscles (over 600 skeletal
muscles in the human body).
The skeletal muscles carry out several important body functions (e. g.
movement, heat production, posture etc.)
A skeletal muscle consists of several tissue types.
Skeletal muscles attach bones by tendons. At movable joints (diarthroses),
a contracting muscle can pull on a bone to produce a movement.
There are one of the following motions (actions):
Flexion
bending, decreasing the angle at a joint
Extension
straightening out, increasing the angle at a joint
Abduction
moving a limb away from the midline of the body
Adduction
moving a limb toward the midline of the body

Types of muscles
There are three types of muscles:
a) Skeletal muscle, which covers and move the skeleton
b) Cardiac(heart) muscle, which pumps blood around the body
c) Smooth muscle, which is found in the walls of the digestive tract, blood
vessels and the genital and urinary tracts
a) Cardiac muscle
Short, branching, interlinked fibers form a
network within the wall of the heart
Cardiac muscles contract rhythmically and
continually without tiring
b) Skeletal muscle
This type of muscle is formed of long, strong,
parallel fibers.
Skeletal muscles are able to contract quickly
and powerfully, but can do so only for short
periods of time.
c) Smooth muscle
The fibers of smooth muscles are short,
spindle-shaped, and thinner than skeletal
muscle fibers.
Smooth muscle cells form sheets of muscle
that can contract for prolonged periods.
85
Flexors &
Extensors
FLEXORS
Muscle fibers consist of myofibrils,
mitochondria, an extensive endoplasmic
reticulum, and many nuclei.
A flexor muscle is a skeletal muscle
whose contraction bends a joint,
decreasing the angle between
components of a limb, such as
straightening the wrist. This action is
known as flexion.
EXTENSORS
The type of muscle that has the opposite
effect is the extensor muscle, which opens
a joint, increasing the angle between
components of a limb, like extending the
arm. Similar actions are called extension.
The biceps and triceps are an example of
an antagonistic pair of muscles.
Antagonistic pairs are responsible for the
movement of the entire skeleton.

6 The Cardio- Vascular System
Jeder Mensch besitzt einen großen und kleinen Blutkreislauf, der in sich
geschlossen ist. Der kleine Körperkreislauf – er wird auch Lungenkreislauf
genannt- besteht zwischen Herz und Lungen. Das mit Kohlendioxid (CO2)
beladenen Blut gelangt in die Lunge und nimmt dort Sauerstoff (O2) auf.
Der große Blutkreislauf –auch Körperkreislauf genannt- verteilt dann dieses
sauerstoffreiche Blut vom Herzen aus in die verschiedenen Körperorgane und
Körpergewebe. Überflüssige und schädliche Abfallstoffe werden vom
Blutkreislauf an den Ort ihrer Ausscheidung (z.B. Nieren) transportiert.
Zum Körperkreislauf gehört neben den Blutgefäßen (Aorta, Arterien, Venen,
Kapillaren usw.) auch das Herz, das durch seine Pumpfunktion den Blutfluss
in Gang hält. Auch das Lymphsystem mit der Lymphe gehört zum
Kreislaufsystem.

Circulation
Blood flows round and round through the body. This is called circulation. The
circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, blood, lypmphatic
vessels and lymph.
These organs play a vital role in human physiology:
- the fluid in which materials are carried to
and from the tissues.
- the driving force, which propels the blood.
- the routes by which the blood travels to
and through the tissues, and back to the heart.

Arteries and veins
Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood toward
the heart.
Most arteries contain brigth red, high-oxygen blood. But the pulmonary
arteries, which run from the heart to the lungs, contain dark reddish-blue
blood, which is low in oxygen.
Most veins contain blood that is low in oxygen, except for the pulmonary
veins, from the lungs to the heart, which contain oxygen-rich blood.
At any instant, three-quarters of our blood is in veins, one-fifth in arteries,
and one-twentieth in capillaries.

through the diaphragm to the abdomen, where it is called
the _ _ _ _ 2 2 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 3 _ _ _ . The coeliac axis, which branches off the abdominal
aorta, supplies the stomach, _ _ 2 4 _ _ _ and spleen. Below this the renal arteries
branch off to the _ _ _ _ 2 5 _ _ _ and the mesenteric arteries to the
intestines. Finally the abdominal aorta branches into two iliac arteries which run into the
_ _ 2 6 _ _ _ _ . The internal iliac artery supplies the reproductive organs while the
external iliac artery becomes the femoral artery which is the main artery of the lower
_ 2 7 _ _ _ . The femoral artery supplies the thigh muscles and becomes the popliteal
artery at the knee. This divides into the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. The
anterior tibial artery supplies the front of the leg and is continued to the foot as the
dorsalis pedis artery. The posterior tibial artery supplies the back of the leg and
reaches the sole of the foot as the _ _ _ 2 8 _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 9 _ _ _ which forms the
plantar arches. Two coronary arteries branch off the ascending aorta, which then
passes upwards as the innominate artery. This divides into the subclavian and
_ _ 3 0 _ _ _ _ _ arteries. The _ _ 3 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ artery passes behind the clavicle
and enters the armpit where lt becomes the axillary artery. The brachial artery
continues for the length of the upper arm until the _ _ 3 2 _ _ _ where it divides into the
radial and ulnar arteries, culminating in the palmar arches in the hand.

Artery structure
Arteries are elastic vessels that transport blood away from the heart. The
largest artery of the body is the aorta. The aorta originates from the heart and
branches out into smaller arteries. The smallest arteries are called arterioles.
These vessels connect with the venous system through capillaries. Arteries are
thick-walled, hollow tubes. The artery wall consists of three layers:
1. Tunica Adventitia – a fibrous outer covering
2. Tunica Media – a middle layer of muscle and elastic tissue
3. Tunica Intima – an endothelial layer made of squamous epithelial
tissue

Arterioles are smaller than those of arteries. They have a similar
structure.
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels. Their walls are one cell thick
and porous, thus allowing the passage of gases like oxygen and carbon
dioxide and nutrients. The interstitial fluid carries food, vitamins, mineral
salts and hormones out to the tissues and collects waste products,
especially carbon dioxide and urea, from them.

The heart is a hollow, muscular, cone-shaped organ.
It's located a little to the left of the middle of the chest. It lies between the
lungs in an area called mediastinum, behind the body of the sternum with
two-thirds of its bulk on the left side.
The circular base of the cone isd directed upwards and to the right and
the apex points downwards, forwards and to the left.
The heart measures about 12 cm from base to apex and about 9 cm in
width. The heart is about 6 cm thick.
The heart is approximately the size of its owner´s fist.
The heart muscle is special because of what it does. The heart sends
blood around the body. The blood provides the body with the oxygen and
nutrients it needs. It also carries away waste.
The heart is sort of like two pumps in one. The right side of the heart
receives blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs. The left side of
the heart does the exact opposite: It receives blood from the lungs and
pumps it out to the body.

The heart is made up of four different blood-filled areas, and each of
these areas is called a chamber. There are two chambers on each side
of the heart. One chamber is on the top and one chamber is on the
bottom.
The two chambers on top are called the atria. The atria are the
chambers that fill with the blood returning to the heart from the body and
lungs. The heart has a left atrium and a right atrium.

Normalerweise schlägt das Herz ca. 75-mal pro Minute. Verantwortlich für die
Auslösung der Kontraktionen ist ein spezielles Reizbildungs- und Erregungsleitungssystem. Der natürliche Herzschrittmacher Nr. 1 ist der Sinusknoten (=1).
Er erzeugt elektrische Impulse, die an den AV-Knoten (=2) weitergeleitet
werden. Von dort geht die elektrische Erregung zum Hiss´schen Bündel (=3),
dann weiter in die Tawara- Schenkel (=4) und die Purkinje-Faser (=5),
103
die in den Herzwandungen liegen. Sobald ein elektrischer Impuls die einzelnen
Herzmuskelzellen erreicht, kommt es zur Muskelkontraktion.
Übersetzen Sie bitte den folgenden Text:
The sinoatrial node (SAN), located within the wall of the right atrium (RA),
normally generates electrical impulses that are carried by special conducting
tissue to the atrioventricular node (AVN).
Upon reaching the AVN, located between the atria and ventricles, the electrical
impulse is relayed down conducting tissue (Bundle of HIS) that branches into
pathways that supply the right and left ventricles.
Electrical impulses generated in the SAN cause the right and left atria to
contract first. Depolarization (heart muscle contraction caused by electrical
stimulation) occurs nearly simultaneously in the right and left ventricles 1-2
tenths of a second after atrial depolarization.
The entire sequence of depolarization, from beginning to end (for one heart
beat), takes 2-3 tenths of a second.
All heart cells, muscle and conducting tissue, are capable of generating
electrical impulses that can trigger the heart to beat. Under normal
circumstances all parts of the heart conducting system can conduct over 140200 signals (and corresponding heart beats) per minute.
The SAN is known as the "heart's pacemaker" because electrical impulses are
normally generated here. At rest the SAN usually produces 60-70 electrical
impulses a minute. It is the SAN that increases its' rate due to stimuli such as
exercise, stimulant drugs, or fever.
Should the SAN fail to produce impulses the AVN can take over. The resting
rate of the AVN is slower, generating 40-60 beats a minute. The AVN and
remaining parts of the conducting system are less capable of increasing heart
rate due to stimuli previously mentioned than the SAN.
The Bundle of HIS can generate 30-40 signals a minute. Ventricular muscle
cells may generate 20-30 signals a minute.
Heart rates below 35-40 beats a minute for a prolonged period usually cause
problems due to not enough blood flow to vital organs.
Problems with signal conduction, due to disease or abnormalities of the
conducting system, can occur anyplace along the heart's conduction pathway.
104
Abnormally conducted signals , resulting in alterations of the heart's normal
beating, are called arrhythmias or dysrrythmia.
Systole is…..
the rhythmic contraction of the
heart, especially of the
ventricles, by which blood is
driven through the aorta and
pulmonary artery after each
dilation or diastole.
ventricular systole is….
the contraction of the cardiac
ventricles by which blood is
forced into the aorta and
pulmonary artery.
Atrial systole is….
the contraction of the atria by
which blood is propelled from
them into the ventricles.
Diastole is ….
the phase of the cardiac cycle in which the heart relaxes between contractions;
specifically, the period when the two ventricles are dilated by the blood flowing
into them.

7 The Digestive System
Um funktionieren zu können, muss die „Biomaschine Mensch“ Energie in Form
von Nahrung aufnehmen. Durch komplizierte physikalische , chemische und
biologische Prozesse müssen die Kohlenhydrate, Fette und Eiweiße der
Nahrung vor ihrer „Verwertung“ in geeigneter Weise umgearbeitet werden,
damit sie vom menschlichen Organismus aufgenommen werden kann. Diesen
Prozess nennen wir Verdauung. Er lässt sich in 2 Phasen unterteilen: In der
ersten Phase wir die Nahrung mechanisch zerkleinert (z.B. im Mund mittels der
Zähne ). In der zweiten Phase stehen die biochemischen Prozesse im
Vordergrund. Verschiedene Drüsen im Verdauungsapparat mit ihren Sekreten
sorgen dafür, dass die Nahrung in Stoffe umgewandelt werden, die vom
Organismus aufgenommen werden können. Die Verdauung ist also ein Prozess
der ständigen chemischen Vereinfachung von aufgenommenen
Nahrungsmitteln.
Der Verdauungsapparat, der sich vom Mund bis zum After erstreckt ist ca. 12 m
lang und kann mit einem langen Rohr verglichen werden, dessen einzelne
Abschnitte sich in Form, Länge und Volumen unterscheiden.
Der erste Teil ist der Mund. Er beginnt an den Lippen und endet an der
Schlundenge. Der Schlund liegt an der Kreuzung zwischen Verdauungs- und
Atmungsapparat. Der nächste Abschnitt ist die Speiseröhre, die den Schlund
mit dem Magen, dem weitesten Teil des Verdauungsapparates, verbindet.
Durch den Pförtner, der von zirkulären Muskelfasern gebildet wird, steht der
Magen mit dem Darm in Verbindung. Der Darm gliedert sich in den ca. 6,8 m
langen Dünndarm und den ca. 1,8 m langen Dickdarm. Der Dünndarm wird
wieder unterteilt in Zwölffingerdarm, Leerdarm und Krummdarm. In den
Zwölffingerdarm geben zwei wichtige Organe ihr Sekret ab:
die Bauchspeicheldrüse und die Leber, aber auch zahlreiche andere Drüsen.
Der letzte Anteil des Dünndarmes, der Krummdarm, steht über die sogenannte
Bauhinsche Klappe (Ileocoecalklappe) mit dem Dickdarm in Verbindung, der mit
dem Blinddarm beginnt. Der Dickdarm zieht an der rechten Bauchseite als
Colon ascendens (aufsteigender Dickdarm) nach oben, als Colon
transversum (Querteil des Dickdarms) zieht er von der Leberunterseite nach
links, an der linken Bauchseite als Colon descendens (absteigender
Dickdarm) nach unten. Auf ihn folgt nach einem s-förmigen Dickdarmteil
(Sigma) der Mastdarm. dieser öffnet sich mit dem Afterschließmuskel nach
außen. Die Innenseite des gesamten Darms wird von einer für den Darm ganz
spezifischen Schleimhaut gebildet, die zur Nahrungsaufnahme fähig ist. Die
wichtigsten Funktionen des Dickdarms sind die Synthese von Vitaminen (z.B.
Vitamin K) und Abbau von Nahrungsbestandteilen. Der Stuhl, der über den
After ausgeschieden wird, enthält nicht nur Nahrungsmittelrückstände, sondern
vor allem abgeschilferte, überalterte Darmschleimhaut sowie auch
Darmbakterien.

Digestion
Most molecules in the human diet are too large to be used in metabolism. The
digestive system prepares food molecules for use in the body. It accomplishes
this through physical digestion and chemical digestion.
Physical digestion begins in the oral cavity with mastication.
Chemical digestion occurs when the chemical makeup of dietary
molecules is changed.
Throughout the digestive tract, organic catalysts, called enzymes, accelerate
these chemical changes.

produces up to 1 liter of the
digestive juice bile.
This passage, commonly
called the throat, connects
the mouth to the esophagus
and trachea.
This tube is 1,5 m long: It is
connected to the small
intestine and consists of the
cecum, colon, and rectum.
In the colon, undigested
food is formed into feces.
This tube is 5 m long. It
connects the stomach to the
large intestine and consists
of the duodenum, and ileum.
Three pairs of salivary
glands secrete 1,5 liters of
saliva into the mouth each
day.

8 The Urinary System
Im Normalfall besitzt der menschliche Organismus zwei Nieren (Ren), die in
der Lendengegend neben der Wirbelsäule liegen. Beide Nieren sind von
bohnenförmiger Gestalt, dunkelbraunrot gefärbt und haben eine glatte
Oberfläche. Sie bestehen aus einer Rindenschicht (Cortex), die von Millionen
von Nierenkörperchen (Nephrone) gebildet wird, und aus einer Markschicht
(Medulla), in der sich zahlreiche Harnkanälchen (Tubuli) befinden. Jeweils in
der Nierenmitte treten sowohl die Nierenarterie in die Niere als auch die
Nierenvene aus der Niere. Auch jeweils im Nierenbecken (Pelvis) entspringt ein
Harnleiter (Ureter), der den Harn bis zur Harnblase (Vesica urinaria) leitet. In ihr
wird der Harn vorübergehend gespeichert und durch die Harnröhre (Urethra)
abgegeben.
Die kleinste funktionelle Arbeitseinheit der Nieren sind die Nierenkörperchen.
Sie liegen in der Nierenrinde. Jeder Mensch besitzt etwa 2 bis 3 Millionen
Nierenkörperchen (= Nephrone). Jedes einzelne Nephron besteht aus einem
Blutkapillarknäuel (= Glomerulum), das von einer Kapsel (=Bowman´sche
Kapsel) umschlossen wird. An diese schließt sich ein feines Harnkanälchen in
Form eines vielfach gewundenen Röhrchens an (= proximaler Tubulusapparat
Henle´sche Schleife
distaler Tubulusapparat)).
Die Harnbildung beginnt in den Nierenkörperchen bzw. in den Nierenkanälchen. Wenn das Blut (ca. 1500 l Blut pro Tag) durch das Blutkapillarknäuel
fließt, werden im Nierenkörperchen Wasser und darin gelöste Stoffe, wie
Traubenzucker, Harnstoff, Salze, aus dem Blut ausgeschieden. Diese
Flüssigkeit nennt man Ultrafiltrat oder Primärharn und fließt von der Kapsel in
Richtung Tubulusapparat weiter. Da die Kapillarwände äußerst feine Poren
besitzen, können Stoffe, die größer als die Poren sind (z.B. Eiweiße, rote
Blutzellen), nicht ausgefiltert werden. Es werden ca. 150 l Primärharn pro Tag
gebildet. Er enthält außer Eiweiß nahezu alle im Blut gelösten Stoffe. Durch die
sogenannte Rückresorption werden ca. 148,5 l Primärharn in den mehrfach
gewundenen Harnkanälchen (= Tubulusapparat) der größte Teil des Wassers
und der Stoffe wieder dem Blut zugeführt.
Aus den Harnkanälchen gelangt der Sekundärharn oder Endharn (Urin) in
kleine Sammelröhrchen, die wiederum in das Nierenbecken münden.
Von dort aus tröpfelt der Harn Tag und Nacht in den Harnleiter, einen etwa 30
cm langen Schlauch, dessen Muskeln den Harn abwärts zur Harnblase
befördern. Diese füllt sich allmählich und speichert zeitweise den Harn. Die
Muskeln der Blasenwand pressen den Harn dann durch die Harnröhre aus dem
Körper. Die männliche Harnröhre führt gemeinsam mit dem Samenleiter als
Harnsamenröhre durch den Penis und ist etwa 20 cm lang. Die weibliche
Harnröhre ist dagegen nur 4 cm lang.

The kidneys process up to 150 liters of filtrate each day to create about 1,5
liters of urine.
The ureters drain the urine from the kidney to the holding area—the bladder.
The urethra carries the urine to the urinary meatus for excretion.

sphincter muscle and a voluntary external urethral sphincter.
Urinary tract infections or UTIs affect _ _ _ _ _ 10 times more often than

9 The Respiratory System
Jede einfache Kerze benötigt Luftsauerstoff zum Verbrennen. So ergeht es
auch dem menschlichen Organismus:
Ohne Sauerstoffzufuhr kein „Verbrennungsvorgang“ in der „Biomaschine“
Mensch.
Der Atemapparat besteht aus all jenen Organen, die diesen Verbrennungsvorgang ermöglichen. Der Atemapparat führt dem Körper durch das Einatmen
von Luft Sauerstoff (O2) zu und durch die Ausatmung Kohlendioxid (CO2)
ab. Beim Atmungsvorgang unterscheiden wir zwischen der Inneren und der
äußeren Atmung.
Die Atmungsorgane der äußeren Atmung umfassen:
die oberen Luftwege (Nase mit Nasennebenhöhlen,
die mittleren Luftwege (Rachen) und
die unteren Luftwegen (Kehlkopf, Luftröhre, Bronchien und Lunge)
Die »äußere Atmung« wird gekennzeichnet durch die Tätigkeit der Lunge.
Der Sauerstoff gelangt über die Atemwege in die Lunge. Hier diffundiert er
aus der Atemluft ins Blut, gleichzeitig wird Kohlendioxid aus dem Blut an die
Atemluft abgegeben.
Der Gastransport zwischen Lunge und Körperzellen geschieht auf dem
Blutweg.
Im Gegensatz zur oben beschriebenen »äußeren Atmung« versteht man unter
der »inneren Atmung« die Atmung der Körperzellen (Gewebeatmung), die mit
Hilfe des Sauerstoffs in den Zellen abläuft.
Im Rahmen der Stoffwechselvorgänge wird Energie „umgesetzt“.
Zur Aufrechterhaltung der Lebensvorgänge benötigen alle Körperzellen ständig
Sauerstoff bzw. Energie.
Als Abfallprodukte entstehen Wasser und Kohlendioxid. Das Kohlendioxid
wird dann im Rahmen der »äußeren Atmung« auf dem Blutweg zur Lunge
transportiert und dort abgeatmet.
Neben der Einteilung in obere, mittlere und untere Luftwege unterscheidet man
auch die luftleitenden Atmungsorgane (z.B. Nase mit Nasennebenhöhlen,
Rachen, Kehlkopf, Luftröhre und Bronchien ) von der dem Gasaustausch
dienenden Lunge mit ihren Lungenbläschen (Alveolen).

The Respiratory System
The respiratory system maintains the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in
the lungs and tissues. It helps regulate the body's acid-base balance.
The upper respiratory tract consists primarily of the nose, mouth,pharynx, and
larynx. The upper respiratory system warms and humidifies inspired air, is
responsible for taste, smell, and the chewing and swallowing of food.
The air enters the body through the nostrils (nares). In theses nares, small hairs
(vibrissae) filter out dust and large foreign particles. The air then passes into the
two nasal passages, which are separated by the septum cartilage forms the
anterior walls of the nasal passages .
Conchae warm and humidify air before it passes into the nasopharynx.
Four paranasal sinuses are located in the frontal, sphenoid, and maxillary
bones. Sinuses provide speech resonance.
The larynx contains the vocal cords and connects the pharynx with the trachea.
Lower respiratory tract consists of the trachea, bronchi, and lungs
The conducting airways contain the trachea and bronchi and hHelp facilitate
gas exchange.
The trachea extends from the cricoid cartilage at the top to the carina (also
called the tracheal bifurcation).
The trachea is protected by C-shaped cartilage rings that reinforces it and
prevents it from collapsing.
The primary bronchi begin at the carina. The right mainstem bronchus is
shorter, wider, and more vertical than the left; supplies air to the right lung.
The left mainstem bronchus delivers air to the left lung.
As bronchi become smaller, they fast lose cartilage, then smooth muscle until,
finally, the smallest bronchioles consist of just a single layer of epithelial cells
Each bronchiole includes terminal bronchioles and the acinus.It is the chief
respiratory unit for gas exchange.
The respiratory bronchioles terminate in clusters of capillary-swathed alveoli
called alveolar sacs. The alveoli are the site of gas exchange.
118
The tiny area between the visceral and parietal pleural layers is called pleural
cavity. It contains a thin film of serous fluid. This fluid has two functions:
1. Lubricates the pleural surfaces so that they slide smoothly against each
other as the lungs expand and contract
2. Creates a bond between the layers that causes the lungs to move with
the chest wall during breathing.
The area surrounded by the diaphragm (below), the scalene muscles and
fasciae of the neck (above), and the ribs, intercostal muscles, vertebrae,
sternum, and ligaments (around the circumference) is called thoracic cavity
The Space between the lungs, the mediastinum, contains:
- Heart and pericardium
- Thoracic aorta
- Pulmonary artery and veins
- Venae cavae and azygos veins
- Thymus, lymph nodes, and vessels
- Trachea, esophagus, and thoracic duct
- Vagus, cardiac, and phrenic nerves
119
Respiration
The respiration is composed of two processes:
1. Inspiration—an active process
2. Expiration—a relatively passive process
Both actions rely on respiratory muscle function and the effects of pressure
differences in the lungs
During normal respiration, the external intercostal muscles (located between
and along the lower borders of the ribs) aid the diaphragm (major muscle of
respiration).
The diaphragm descends to lengthen the chest cavity, while the external
intercostal muscles contract to expand the anteroposterior diameter
This coordinated action causes inspiration.
Rising of the diaphragm and relaxation of the intercostal muscles causes
expiration
Inspiration
Exspiration

10 The Reproductive System
In jeder Sekunde unseres Lebens entstehen Millionen neuer Zellen. Sie
wachsen, vermehren sich und sterben wieder ab. Durch die sogenannte
Fortpflanzung wird schließlich ein Organismus bzw. ein menschlicher Körper
durch einen anderen ersetzt. Beim menschlichen Organismus geschieht die
Fortpflanzung auf sexuellem Wege. Das neue Leben entsteht aus einer
einzigen Eizelle (Ovum), die durch ein Spermium befruchtet wird und dadurch
zur befruchteten Eizelle (= Zygote) wird. Die Produktion dieser Keimzellen und
die Befruchtung übernehmen die männlichen und weiblichen Fortpflanzungsbzw. Geschlechtsorgane. Die Fortpflanzungsorgane gehören zum
sogenannten Genitalsystem.
Das Genitalsystem hat drei wesentliche Aufgaben:
1. Fortpflanzung
2. Bildung der Geschlechtshormone
3. beim Mann auch Harnweg
Beim Genitalsystem unterscheiden wir zwischen den
a) Primären Geschlechtsmerkmale (= innere + äußere Geschlechtsorgane)
und
b) Sekundären Geschlechtsmerkmale ( = Brüste, Achsel
Schambehaarung
Bartwuchs, Stimmbruch, Geschlechtsspezifisches Verhalten, Beckenentwicklung, Skelettbau usw.)
Die inneren Geschlechtsorgane dienen der Produktion von
Keimzellen und Sexualhormonen. Bei der Frau dienen die inneren
Geschlechtsorgane zusätzlich der Versorgung und Geburt des
Keimlings.
Die äußeren Geschlechtsorgane dienen der geschlechtlichen
Vereinigung (Koitus).
Die weiblichen Geschlechtsorgane
Zu den inneren Geschlechtsorganen der Frau gehören:
die Eierstöcke (= Ovarien),
die Eileiter (= Tubae uterinae),
die Gebärmutter (= Uterus) und
die Scheide
Zu den äußeren Geschlechtsorganen, die in ihrer Gesamtheit als Vulva
bezeichnet werden, gehören
die großen Schamlippen und die kleinen Schamlippen,
der Kitzler (= Clitoris) und
die Vorhofdrüsen (Bartholin'sche Drüsen)
121
Die Ovarien sind paarige, etwa pflaumengroße Organe, in denen die weiblichen
Keimzellen, die Eizellen, und die weiblichen Sexualhormone gebildet werden.
Ähn-lich einem Trichter liegen ihnen die ebenfalls paarigen Eileiter an.
Die Eileiter sind bleistiftdünne Muskelschläuche, die mit einem Flimmerepithel
ausgekleidet sind und die die Eizellen zur Gebärmutter transportieren.
Im Eileiter erfolgt gegebenenfalls die Befruchtung der Eizelle.
Die Eileiter münden in die Gebärmutter. Sie ist ein birnenförmiges, muskulöses
Hohlorgan und nimmt gegebenenfalls die befruchtete Eizelle auf. Außerdem
beteiligt sich die Gebärmutter am Aufbau des Mutterkuchens und dient am
Ende der Schwangerschaft durch Kontraktionen der Muskulatur (=
Geburtswehen) der Austreibung des Kindes.
An der Gebärmutter unterscheiden wir: den Gebärmutterkörper (= Corpus
uteri) und den Gebärmutterhals (= Cervix uteri). Den Eingang zum Gebärmutterhals bezeichnet man als Muttermund (= Portio vaginalis).
Die Wand der Gebärmutter besteht aus drei Schichten:
Außen ist sie vom Bauchfell überzogen; diese Schicht heißt Perimetrium. Es
folgt nach innen die glatte Muskulatur = Myometrium. Innen ist die Gebärmutter mit Schleimhaut = Endometrium ausgekleidet. Die Scheide (= Vagina)
ist ein ca. 10 cm langer, mit Schleimhaut ausgekleideter Muskelschlauch, der in
dem unteren Abschnitt durch eine ringförmige Hautfalte, das Jungfernhäutchen (= Hymen), teilweise verschlossen ist. Beim ersten Geschlechtsverkehr reißt dieses Häutchen ein (Defloration). Die Scheide ist das
Kopulationsorgan der Frau. Sie nimmt die Samenzellen des Mannes auf, die
dann selbständig durch die Gebärmutter in die Eileiter wandern müssen. Ein
säurehaltiges Sekret, an dessen Bildung hier ansässige Bakterien - die sog.
Scheidenflora - beteiligt sind, schützt die inneren Geschlechtsorgane vor aufsteigenden Krankheitskeimen. Die großen Schamlippen entsprechen dem
Hodensack des Mannes; sie schützen den Scheidenvorhof. Die Clitoris und - in
viel schwächerem Maße - die kleinen Schamlippen - sind sexuelle Reizorgane.
Die Bartholin'schen Drüsen schließlich halten den Scheidenvorhof feucht.
Die männlichen Geschlechtsorgane
Die äußeren Geschlechtsorgane des Mannes sind der Penis mit
Schwellkörpern, Vorhaut, Eichel und Harnsamenröhre .
Zu den inneren männliche Geschlechtsorganen gehören die Geschlechtsdrüsen
des Mannes (Hoden), die ableitenden Geschlechtswege (paarig: Nebenhoden,
Samenleiter, Spritzgänge; unpaarig: Harn, Samenröhre) und die sogenannten
akzessorische Geschlechtsdrüsen ( Bläschendrüsen, Bulbourethraldrüsen,
Prostata).
Die Hoden liegen im Hodensack. Sie sind die Keimdrüsen des Mannes. Sie
sind etwa pflaumengroß, haben eine ovale Form und liegen in einer Hauttasche, dem Hodensack (Skrotum). Unmittelbar auf den Hoden sitzen die
Nebenhoden (Epididymis). Die Nebenhoden (Epididymis) sind kleine Organe,
die auf den Hoden sitzen und als Samenspeicher dienen.
122
Um die Nebenhoden vollständig zu leeren, bedarf es mehrerer aufeinanderfolgender Samenergüsse (Ejakulationen) im Zeitraum von 24 Stunden.
Der Penis hängt vor dem Hodensack. Er ist ungefähr sechs bis zwölf
Zentimeter lang und von Mann zu Mann unterschiedlich dick. Am Ende des
Penis sitzt die Eichel (Glans penis). Die Eichel ist normalerweise von der
Vorhaut (Praeputium) verdeckt. Viele Nervenendigungen in der Eichel machen
sie zu einem sehr empfindlichen und auch sehr erregbaren Organ. Besonders
am äußeren Rand ist die Eichel sehr sensibel. Unter der Vorhaut liegen kleine
Drüsen, die ein weißliches Sekret produzieren. Dieses Sekret, Smegma
genannt, sollte regelmäßig bei der Hygiene entfernt werden. Ist dies nicht
möglich, weil sich die Vorhaut nicht zurückschieben lässt, liegt eine
Vorhautverengung (Phimose) vor, die unter Umständen operiert werden muss.
In manchen Ländern und in bestimmten Religionen wird die Vorhaut durch eine
Beschneidung entfernt. Dies hat keine negativen Auswirkungen auf die sexuelle
Funktion des Penis. Der Penis besitzt 3 Schwellkörper, in deren Mitte die
Harnröhre verläuft. Durch diese tritt der Urin und beim Geschlechtsverkehr /
Ejakulation das Ejakulat (Sperma) aus. Bei sexueller Erregung füllen sich die
Schwellkörper mit Blut, wodurch sich der Penis aufrichtet, hart und groß wird. In
erigiertem Zustand ist der mit Blut gefüllte Penis dann zwölf bis zwanzig
Zentimeter groß. Er nimmt meistens sowohl im Durchmesser als auch in der
Länge zu. Sperma ist die weißlich/gräuliche, kastanienartig riechende
Samenflüssigkeit, die beim Samenerguss (Ejakulation) aus der Harnröhre
(Urethra) austritt. Sperma besteht aus Spermien (Samenfäden oder
Spermatozoen) sowie zum überwiegenden Anteil aus Flüssigkeiten
verschiedener männlicher Drüsen. Normalerweise enthält das Sperma einige
Millionen Spermien pro Milliliter. Prostata und Samenbläschen produzieren
etwa 95 Prozent der Samenflüssigkeit, lediglich fünf Prozent kommen aus den
Hoden.

Determination of sex
Whether a human being is female or male is already determined at the time of
conception. All human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes, one of these pairs
being the sex chromosome.
In women the sex chromosomes are an identical pair (XX), but in men one of
the two is smaller (XY). When reduction division occurs in the germ cells of the
ovaries and testes, the pairs are split. Thus all ova will have 22+X
chromosomes, as will half the spermatozoa, but the other half will have
22 +Y, and when one of these unites with a 22 +X ovum a male embryo results.

The ovaries, ovulation and menstruation
The female equivalents of the _ _ _ _ _ _ lie inside the _ _ _ _ _ _ . The size
of a _ _ _ _ , they are supported by ligaments and are touched by the
fronded ends of the Fallopian tubes, the ducts for the passage of ova to the
uterus.
The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ are the source of female germ cells (ova) and the female
hormones _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and progesterone. Ova are produced from
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . These are minute spherical structures, precursors of which
are present from _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , but which begin to mature only at
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ . While up to 400,000 precursors are present in childhood, only
one a month matures between the onset of menstruation and the time of
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ — a total of perhaps 400.
The maturing ovarian follicle secretes oestrogen, which enters the
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Release of the _ _ _ _ from the follicle occurs in most
women in the _ _ _ _ _ _ week after a menstrual period. After release, the
_ _ _ _ of the mature follicle thickens and its cells multiply, forming the
127
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , which manufactures _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ as well
as oestrogen.
Menstruation, the shedding of the glandular lining of the uterus, is the result of
cyclical change of hormone secretion. Under the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of
oestrogen alone (that is, in the first part of the month, before ovulation) the
lining thickens, its capillaries multiplying and glands enlarging. Then, when
progesterone is secreted, greater thickening occurs. Just before
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the corpus luteum degenerates; the supply of
hormones is cut off and the uterine lining starts to slough. This continues for a
few days by when another follicle is maturing and a _ _ _ cycle has begun.
Ovarian hormone production is under the control of the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ,
which triggers sexual development at puberty. One pituitary hormone (folliclestimulating hormone) is active in the first half of the cycle; increasing blood
oestrogen suppresses it and elicits secretion of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ hormone,
which _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the corpus luteum.

The male reproductive system
The purpose of the organs of the male reproductive system is to perform the
following functions:
1. to produce, maintain and transport sperm (the male reproductive
cells) and protective fluid (semen)
2. to discharge sperm within the female reproductive tract during sex
3. to produce and secrete male sex hormones responsible for
maintaining the male reproductive system
Unlike the female reproductive system, most of the male reproductive system is
located outside of the body.
These external structures include
a) the penis,
b) the scrotum, and
c) the testis.

The Penis
The penis is the male organ used in sexual intercourse.
It has 3 parts:
1. the root, which attaches to the wall of the abdomen;
2. the body, or shaft; and the glans, which is the cone-shaped part at the
end of the penis.
3. The glans, also called the head of the penis, is covered with a loose layer
of skin called foreskin.
The opening of the urethra, the tube that transports semen and urine, is at the
tip of the penis. The penis also contains a number of sensitive nerve endings.
The body of the penis consists of 3 circular shaped chambers. These chambers
are made up of special, sponge-like tissue. This tissue fill with blood when the
man is sexually aroused. As the penis fills with blood, it becomes rigid and
erect, which allows for penetration during sexual intercourse.
Semen, which contains sperm (reproductive cells), is expelled (ejaculated)
through the end of the penis when the man reaches sexual climax (orgasm).
The Scrotum
The scrotum is the loose pouch-like sac of skin that hangs behind the penis. It
contains the testicles (also called testes), as well as many nerves and blood
vessels. The scrotum acts as a "climate control system" for the testes. For
normal sperm development, the testes must be at a temperature slightly cooler
than body temperature. Special muscles in the wall of the scrotum allow it to
contract and relax, moving the testicles closer to the body for warmth or farther
away from the body to cool the temperature.
The testes
The testes (testicles) are oval organs about the size of large olives that lie in
the scrotum, secured at either end by a structure called the spermatic cord.
Most men have two testes.
The testes produce and store millions of tiny sperm cells.
The testicles are also part of the endocrine system because they produce
hormones, including testosterone.
Testosterone is a major part of puberty in men, and as a man makes his way
through puberty, his testicles produce more and more of it. Testosterone is the
hormone that causes guys to develop deeper voices, bigger muscles, and body
and facial hair, and it also stimulates the production of sperm.

The Male Reproductive System
The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ genitalia are those parts of the reproductive tract that are
visible in the _ _ _ _ _ region, which in a male comprise the _ _ _ _ _ _ _
and the _ _ _ _ _ . The scrotum is a loose bag of skin and connective tissue
that holds the paired testes suspended within it. The penis consists mainly of
erectile tissue, which becomes engorged with
_____
during sexual
arousal. The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , through which urine and _ _ _ _ _ pass, runs
through the center of the Penis. About the size of a large _ _ _ _ _ _ and
surrounded by a tough fibrous capsule, the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ lies just
under the bladder, encircling the upper part of the urethra. The gland is closely
attached to the base of the bladder, with its rounded anterior (front) surface
lying just _ _ _ _ _ _ the pubic bone. The prostate gland forms a vital part of
the male reproductive system because it provides an enzyme-rich _ _ _ _ _
that helps to activate _ _ _ _ _ and forms up to one-third of the total volume of
seminal fluid. This fluid is secreted by cells in the prostate gland and passed
through _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , which open into the urethra.
The

are
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ for the production of sperm and seminal fluid and their
passage out of the body. The paired testes lie suspended in the scrotum
outside the _ _ _ _ , and they are responsible for the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of
sperm, which then travel through a complex network of _ _ _ _ _ and ducts.
The coiled _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ receives the sperm from the testis, from where
it passes to the _ _ _

11 The Nervous System
Die Nachrichtenübermittlung im menschlichen Körper erfolgt in Form von
elektrischen Signalen, die sich in hoher Geschwindigkeit (bis zu 120 m/s) über
die Nervenbahnen fortpflanzen. Alles was wir riechen, hören, sehen, fühlen,
schmecken usw. wird als „Informationspaket“ in elektrische Impulse
umgewandelt und über die Nervenbahnen zur Verarbeitung zum Gehirn
weitergeleitet. Umgekehrt werden die Befehle und Anweisungen vom Gehirn als
elektrische Signale (= Nervenimpulse) an den Körper weitergeleitet. Zum
Nervensystem gehören u.a.
Gehirn und Rückenmark sowie
das periphere Nervensystem, das alle Nerven umfasst, die vom
Zentralnervensystem - kurz ZNS - ausgehen.
Zum Schutz des Nervensystems vor Beschädigungen sind der Schädel und
die Wirbelsäule da! Gehirn und Rückenmark bilden zusammen das
Zentralnervensystem - die zentrale Schaltstelle des gesamten Nervensystems.
Das wichtigste Organ des Zentralnervensystems ist das Gehirn, eine
Kontrollinstanz aus über zehn Milliarden Nervenzellen, von denen jede einzelne
wiederum mit bis zu 10.000 anderen Nervenzellen verbunden ist.
Die verschiedenen Regionen des Gehirns übernehmen jeweils bestimmte
Funktionen. Das Gehirn ist für sämtliche unserer Aktivitäten verantwortlich,
sowohl bewusste als auch unbewusste. Es kann als "Sitz der Persönlichkeit"
eines Menschen bezeichnet werden - mit all seinen Gefühlen, Gedanken und
Fähigkeiten.
Drei Häute umgeben das Gehirn schützend:
1. die harte Hirnhaut,
2. die Spinnwebhaut und
3. die innere Hirnhaut.
Entzündete Hirnhäute sind die Ursache der Krankheit Meningitis.
Man unterscheidet bei den Gehirnregionen
Kleinhirn, Hirnstamm,
Großhirn, Großhirnrinde,
Zwischenhirn,
Thalamus und
Hypothalamus.
138
Zentralnervensystem (ZNS) u. Peripheres Nervensystem (PNS)
Anatomisch (=strukturell) sind Zentralnervensystem (ZNS) und peripheres
Nervensystem (PNS) zu trennen. Zum ZNS werden Gehirn und Rückenmark
gerechnet, die verbleibenden, dem Gehirn und Rückenmark entspringenden
Nerven(-wurzeln) mit ihrer Fortsetzung in Form einzelner Nerven bilden das
PNS.
Nach funktionellen Gesichtspunkten können wir das Nervensystem in das
sogenannte sensomotorische System, welches im weitesten Sinne für den
"Bezug zur Umwelt", und das vegetative Nervensystem, welches für die
Aufrechterhaltng von Körperfunktionen zuständig ist, einteilen.
Das Sensomotorisches System
Das sensomotorische System besteht aus einem sensibel-sensorischen Teil,
welcher Sinneseindrücke von der Umwelt empfängt und sie zur zentralen
Verarbeitung weiterleitet und aus einem motorischen Teil, welcher für die
Bewegungsäußerungen des Körpers zuständig ist.
Zum sensorischen Bereich des Nervensystems zählen verschiedene
Rezeptoren , welche jeweils für unterschiedliche Sinneseindrücke zuständig
sind wie z.B. für Temperatur, Schmerz, Berührung, aber auch Geruch,
Geschmack, Bewegung und Lage des Körpers und seiner Gliedmaßen, Hören
und Sehen. Als Rezeptoren dienen spezifsche Strukturen am Ende von
Nervenzellfortsätzen. Sie sind in der Lage, wie zum Teil auch freie
Nervenendigungen, bestimmte Reize in Nervenaktionspotentiale ( = elektrische
Signale, elektrische Impulse) umzuwandeln.
Die wichtigste Aufgabe des motorischen Systems ist es,Muskelbewegungen
durchzuführen.
Das vegetative Nervensystem
Während das sensibel-sensorische Nervensystem Zustände der Umwelt
übermittelt und das motorische Nervensystem dem Verhalten in der Umwelt
dient, werden ebenfalls beständig Informationen über Funktionszustände des
Körpers, des sogenannten Inneren Milieus registriert, verarbeitet und in
Reaktionen umgesetzt. Einen großen Teil dieser Aufgaben übernimmt das
vegetative Nervensystem (VNS). Auch das vegetative Nervensystem lässt sich
in einen peripheren und einen zentralen Anteil gliedern.
Das vegetative Nervensystem innerviert die glatte Muskulatur aller Organe, das
Herz und die Drüsen. Nach funktionellen Kriterien lassen sich zwei
komplementäre Anteile des vegetativen Nervensystems ausmachen, den
Sympathicus und den Parasympathicus. Im Bereich des Rückenmarkes auf
Höhe vom BWS und LWS –Bereich finden wir die Nervenzellen des
vegetativen Nervensystems in den sogenannten Seitenhörnern der grauen
Substanz. Ihre Fortsätze verlassen das Rückenmark über die vorderen Wurzeln
139
um zum Teil gleich darauf in beidseits des Rückenmarks gelegene
Zellansammlungen einzumünden. Diese Zellansammlungen (Ganglien) finden
sich auf der Höhe des jeweiligen Rückenmarkssegmentes und sind
untereinander nach oben und unten verbunden, so dass rechts und links vom
Rückenmark jeweils ein perlschnurartiges Gebilde entsteht, der Grenzstrang.
Viele innere Organe werden sowohl vom Sympathikus als auch vom
Parasympathikus innerviert.
Beide wirken auf das jeweilige Organ antagonistisch.
Eine Reizung des Sympathicus führt z.B. zur Zunahme von Herzfrequenz und
Herzschlagvolumen, zur Abnahme der Darmtätigkeit und zur Erschlaffung der
Gallenblase, während der Parasympathicus Herfrequenz und Schlagvolumen
verringert, die Darmmotilität anregt und eine Kontraktion der Gallenblase
auslöst.

The nervous system
1
The nervous system is divided into the
peripheral and central nervous System.
The brain and spinal cord make up the central
nervous System.

The central nervous System is divided into the
voluntary System and the autonomic or
involuntary System.
The autonomic nervous System provides a
rapid response to a threat where we may need
to be able to run or defend ourselves.
The brain is the
command center of the
body. It receives
information from the
world, processes it, and
sends out a response.
It is composed of two
hemispheres of
convoluted tissue.
The right hemisphere
controls the left side of
the body and the left
hemisphere controls the
right side of the body.
The two hemispheres
are joined by tissue
called the corpus
callosum. There are four
main parts to the brain:
the cerebrum,
141
cerebellum, brain stem, and diencephalon.
The cerebrum is primarily for thinking and emotion. Both the right and left side
can be broken down into frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, and parietal
lobe. Each lobe manages special functions as listed in the table below:
Lobes
Special Functions
Frontal
Emotions and personality
Parietal
Math and logic
Temporal
Processing spoken word
Occipital
Processing visual information
142
The autonomic System is made up of the sympathetic and parasympathetic
Systems. The sympathetic nervous System is responsible for a release of
glucose from the liver, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure,
increased respiration, and decreased genitourinary action.
These physiological changes help humans to "fight or flight" in a dangerous
Situation.
143
The parasympathetic nervous System creates the reverse responses to help
slow the body down.

12 The Sensory Organs
Alle Organe( z. B. Auge, Ohr usw.) mit deren Hilfe wir Informationen aus
unserer Umwelt aufnehmen, sind Sinnesorgane und gehören zum sensorischen
System des Körpers. Unser sensorische System ist ein Teil des
Nervensystems, das für die Verarbeitung der sensorischen Informationen
verantwortlich ist. Bestandteile eines sensorischen Systems sind z.B. die
sensorischen Empfänger (= Rezeptoren), sensorische Nervenbahnen und die
entsprechenden Gehirnregionen, die die ankommenden elektrischen Signale
und Informatioen entsprechend weiter verarbeiten. Die Reize, die bei den
Rezeptoren die elektrischen Impulse auslösen, können von unterschiedlicher
Art sein.
Die folgende Tabelle zeigt die Reizart und das dazugehörende Sinnesorgan:

Das Auge
Der Augapfel liegt geschützt in einem Fettpolster in der knöchernen
Augenhöhle. Seine Wand wird durch verschiedene Häute gebildet.
Außen liegt die weiße undurchsichtige Lederhaut. Diese geht vorn in
die durchsichtige Hornhaut über.
Die mittlere Haut ist die Aderhaut. Sie ist reich an Blutgefäßen.
Im vorderen Bereich geht die Aderhaut über in
a) den Strahlenkörper und b) die Regenbogenhaut.
Strahlenkörper
Im Strahlenkörper befindet sich glatte Muskulatur. Am Strahlenkörper ist
der Aufhängeapparat der Linse befestigt. Durch Veränderung der
Muskelkontraktion im Strahlenkörper wird die Linse über den
Aufhängeapparat stärker oder schwächer gewölbt.
Regenbogenhaut (Iris)
Die Iris enthält ebenfalls ringförmig angeordnete glatte Muskulatur.
Dadurch kann die Pupille je nach Lichteinfall enger oder weiter gestellt
werden.
Netzhaut
Die Netzhaut bildet die innerste Haut des Augapfels. In der Netzhaut
liegen die Sinneszellen, die aus den "Stäbchen" und den "Zäpfchen"
bestehen. Die Stäbchen dienen dem "Schwarzweißehen" und die
Zäpfchen dem "Farbsehen".
Weitere Teile des Augapfels sind:
Linse
Die Linse befindet sich zwischen der Iris und dem Glaskörper. Sie ist
durch den Aufhängeapparat am Strahlenkörper befestigt. Sie kann für das
Nahsehen stärker gewölbt und für das Fernsehen stärker abgeflacht werden
(unterschiedliche Brechkraft der Lichtstrahlen bzw. unterschiedliche Brennweite
der Linse). Die Verstellung erfolgt über die "Strahlenbänder" durch die
unterschiedlich starke Kontraktion der Muskulatur im Strahlenkörper.
Der Glaskörper besteht aus einer gallertartigen durchsichtigen Masse und
füllt den Raum hinter der Linse aus.
Der blinde Fleck befindet sich am Augenhintergrund an der Stelle, an der
der Sehnerv aus dem Augapfel heraustritt. in diesem Bereich befinden sich
keine Sinneszellen.
Der gelbe Fleck ist die Stelle des schärfsten Sehens. In diesem Bereich
befinden sich besonders zahlreiche Zäpfchen (Sinneszellen für das
Farbsehen).
147
Augenwasser befindet sich in der vorderen Augenkammer (zwischen
Hornhaut und Iris) und in der hinteren Augenkammer (zwischen Iris und Linse).
Es wird von bestimmten Zellen des Strahlenkörpers ständig neu gebildet und
wird über den sogenannten Schlemm' schen Kanal abgeleitet. Bei einer
Störung der Ableitung entsteht ein zu hoher Augeninnendruck.
Der Sehsinn
Die durch das Sehloch (die Pupille) einfallenden Lichtstrahlen werden im
normalen Auge durch die Linse so gebrochen, dass sie sich auf der Netzhaut
im Augenhintergrund zu einem scharfen Bild vereinigen. Von den
lichtempfindlichen Sinneszellen der Netzhaut werden die Impulse über die
Sehbahn dem Gehirn übermittelt und treten als Sehwahrnehmung ins
Bewusstsein.
Beim normalsichtigen Auge treten die Lichtstrahlen durch das Sehloch ein und
werden durch die Linse so gebrochen, dass sie ihren Brennpunkt genau auf der
Netzhaut im Augenhintergrund haben. Die Pupille regelt durch Enger- oder
Weiterstellung die Menge des einfallenden Lichtes (Schutz vor grellem Licht
usw.).
Die Bewegung jedes Augapfels erfolgt über sechs Augenmuskeln (4 gerade
Augenmuskeln, 2 schräge Augenmuskeln).
(Schielen kann durch falsche Längen der Augenmuskeln verursacht werden).
Tränendrüsen
Die Tränendrüsen liegen im oberen äußeren Winkel der Augenhöhlen (zum
oberen äußeren Lidrand hin). Die Tränenflüssigkeit, die durch den Lidschlag
verteilt wird, dient zur Befeuchtung der Hornhaut, die nicht austrocknen darf.
Überschüssige Tränenflüssigkeit wird aber den Tränennasengang zur Nase hin
abgeleitet
Die Augenlider dienen zur Befeuchtung und zum Schutz der Hornhaut. bei
Berührung der Hornhaut durch einen Fremdkörper schließen sich die Lider
durch Reflex sofort. Die Innenseiten der Lider sind mit der zarten Bindehaut
ausgekleidet, die auf den Augapfel übergeht.
Die Wimpern und die Augenbrauen sollen das Auge vor Staub, Fremdkörpern und herabrinnendem Schweiß schützen.

The eyes are specialized organs of sight designed to detect patterns of light.
Like the camera, the eye collects and focuses light on to a sensitive surface.
Its lens are transparent, yellowish and gelatinous.
Relaxation of these ligaments is produced by contraction of the ciliary muscle at
the back of the iris — this allows the lens to bulge and makes nearby objects
come into focus.
The pupil is the aperture of the iris, which is an automatic diaphragm opening
and closing in response to changes of lighting.
Behind the lens the eyeball is filled with a sticky, jelly-like substance, at the back
of which is the retina.
The retina is made up of three layers of nerve cells. In order in which they
conduct impulses, they are the rod and the cone cells, bipolar neurons and
ganglion neurons.
The rods and cones are the extensions of small neurons, and they convert light
into nerve impulses which are passed to the brain along the fibres of the optic
nerve.
Where the optic nerve leaves the eye there are no receptors : this "blind spot"
is slightly off the axis of vision.

"Blind spot"
The centre of the retina possesses
only cones connected to nerve
fibres in a 1 :1 ratio.
The proportion of rods increases
away from the centre and receptors
converge onto fewer fibres.
Since rods work at low light
intensity (they contain an easily
bleached pigment — rhodopsin —
derived from vitamin A) the
periphery of the retina is adapted
for sensitivity in dim light, the centre
for detailed, daylight vision.

Das Ohr
Das Gehörsystem des Menschen umfasst
a) das äußere Ohr,
b) das Mittelohr und
c) das Innenohr, die Hörbahnen, sowie die im Großhirn und im
Stammhirn liegenden auditiven Reizverarbeitungszentren.
Das äußere Ohr
Das äußere Ohr besteht aus der Ohrmuschel und dem leicht gebogenen
äußeren Gehörgang. Letzterer wird auch als «Ohrkanal» bezeichnet. Er weist
eine durchschnittliche Länge von 23 Millimetern und einen Durchmesser von 6
bis 8 Millimetern auf. In seinem äußeren Drittel befinden sich die
Ceruminaldrüsen. Diese produzieren das Ohrenschmalz, dessen Aufgabe es
ist, das Ohr vor eindringenden Schmutzpartikeln zu schützen.
Das Mittelohr
Zwischen dem Gehörgang und dem Mittelohr befindet sich das Trommelfell,
welches einen Durchmesser von ca. 10 Millimetern aufweist und als Empfänger
der Schallwellen dient. Mit dem Trommelfell fest verbunden ist der Hammer, ein
Knöchelchen, das zusammen mit dem Amboss und dem Steigbügel für eine
Übertragung der Schallwellen zum Innenohr sorgt.
Die Gehörknöchelchen sind winzig klein; der Steigbügel als deren kleinstes
weist knapp die Größe eines halben Reiskorns auf. Zwischen dem Mittelohr und
dem Rachenraum besteht eine direkte Verbindung – die Eustachischen Röhre
– die für einen permanenten Druckausgleich im Mittelohr sorgt
Das Innenohr
Die Fußplatte des Steigbügels wiederum ist mit der Ohrschnecke (= Cochlea) –
verbunden. Dabei handelt es sich um eine spiralenförmig gewundene Röhre
von ca. 32 mm Länge und zweieinhalb Windungen Steigung. Die Röhre wird
durch zwei Membrane in drei «Schläuche» unterteilt, die mit zwei
unterschiedlichen Flüssigkeiten (= Endolymphe und Perilymphe) gefüllt sind.
153
Das Cortische Organ
Auf der in der Mitte der Röhre verlaufenden Basilarmembran befindet sich das
Cortische Organ mit seinen rund 20 000 Haarzellen, die in einer inneren und
drei äußeren Reihen angeordnet und in 24 Gruppen unterteilt sind. Jede dieser
Haarzellen-Gruppen spricht auf die Töne einer bestimmten Frequenz – bzw.
eines bestimmten Frequenzband-Abschnitts – an. Töne hoher Frequenzen
werden dabei im vorderen, solche tieferer Frequenz im hinteren Teil der
Cochlea wahrgenommen.
Die Haarzellen
Die Haarzellen – deren Aufgabe es ist, mechanische Reize in bioelektrische
Impulse umzuwandeln – sind äußerst sensible und verletzliche Organe, die
durch Überstrapazierung schwer geschädigt werden können. Die meisten Fälle
von Schwerhörigkeit sind auf eine Schädigung der Haarzellen durch zu laute
und zu lange Lärm-Einwirkung auf das Ohr zurückzuführen.
Der Hörnerv
Die von den Haarzellen produzierten und weiter gegebenen bioelektrischen
Impulse werden vom Hörnerv aufgenommen – einer komplexen, aus rund
30 000 Fasern bestehenden Nervenbahn, die das Innenohr mit dem
Hörzentrum im Gehirn verbindet.
Der Gleichgewichtsapparat
Zum Innenohr gehört auch der Gleichgewichtsapparat, der aus zwei kleinen
Bläschen – dem Sacculus und dem Utriculus – sowie drei Bogengängen
besteht. Sacculus und Utriculus enthalten winzige Kalksteinchen, deren
Position sich – bedingt durch die Schwerkraft der Erde – analog zur Lage des
Kopfes verändert. Die Bogengänge wiederum reagieren auf FlüssigkeitsBewegungen, die durch die Drehbewegungen des Kopfes ausgelöst werden.

The ears and hearing
Sounds are a series of invisible compression waves that moves through air or
other materials. Although it is commonly associated in air, sound will readily
travel through many materials such as water and steel. All sound waves are
created by the vibration of some object. Because sound is the vibration of
matter, it does not travel through a vacuum or in outer space.
All sound waves are detected when they cause a detector to vibrate.
Our eardrum vibrates from sound waves to allow us to sense them.
Sound has the standard characteristics of any waveform. But sound waves
different than light waves.
The visible light waves, the invisible ultraviolet (UV) light and the x-rays
are electromagnetic radiation. They are completely different than sound,
which is vibration of matter. Electromagnetic waves are related to
electrical and magnetic fields and readily travel through space.
The back-and-forth vibration of an object creates the compression waves
of sound. This is different than the up and down or transverse motion of a
electromagnetic wave.
The ear
The ear is the organ of hearing and equilibrium. It consists of three principal
regions:
1. The outer ear
2. The middle ear
3. The inner ear
The ears provide us with two different senses:
a) hearing and
b) balance
Sound waves detected by the ears provide essential information about
our external surroundings and allows us to communicate, such as
speech and music.
155
In addition, our ears contribute to our sense of balance, the largely
unconscious understanding of the body´s orientation in space that allows
us to maintain an upright posture and move without falling over.

The
___
can be
anatomically divided
into
_____
parts: the
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and middle ear, which gather and transmit sound, and the
_ _ _ _ _ ear, which is the organ of hearing and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
The external ear consists of the visible part (the pinna), which is made up of
skin and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , and the external auditory meatus, which channels
_ _ _ _ _ waves toward the middle ear. Inside the external meatus are tiny
_ _ _ _ _ and ceruminous glands that secrete _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (wax). This
combination of wax and hairs helps prevent dust and foreign bodies from
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the ear.
At the inner end of the meatus is the tympanic membrane, or _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ,
which vibrates in response to sound waves and marks the _ _ _ _ _ _
between the external and middle ear.
Beyond the tympanic membrane (eardrum) is the middle ear, an air-filled cavity
that helps transmit sound to the inner ear and is connected to the
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ (throat) via the auditory (eustachian) tube.
Within the middle ear are three tiny bones called _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that are
linked together in such a way that movements of the eardrum are transmitted
across them to the oval window at the entrance to the inner ear.
The first bone, the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , is attached to the inner surface of the
eardrum at one end, and to the second bone, the _ _ _ _ _ , at the other. The
stapes is the third ossicle and is connected both to the incus and to the oval
window. All three ossicles are held in place by tiny ligaments.
The inner ear contains the organs of balance and hearing. The inner ear has
two divisions: the outer bony labyrinth is a system of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and has
157
three regions called the vestibule, the semicircular canals, and the
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ ; the inner membranous labyrinth consists of a series of linked
sacs or ducts contained within the bony labyrinth.
The vestibule is the central part of the bony labyrinth and contains two
membranous sacs, the saccule and the utricle, which provide information about
head position, while the semicircular canals contain receptors that detect head
movements.
The cochlea is a bony, spiral canal that houses the organ of hearing, known as
the organ of _ _ _ _ _ .
The following illustration shows the auricle ossicles.
