- Define: Anatomy
- The sturcture of body parts and theur relationship to one another
- Define: Physiology
- the function of body parts and how they carry out their life sustaining activites
- Define: Gross anatomy
- the study of large body stuctures visible to the naked eye
- what's another name for gross anatomy?
- Marcoscopic anatomy
- define regional anatomy
- all stuctures in a aprticular region of teh body like the abdomen (muscle, vessels)
- Systemic anatomy
- study of systems like the cardiovascular system
- surface anatomy
- the study of internal stuctures as theu relate to the overlying skin surface
- Cytology
- the study of the cells of the body
- Histology
- the study of the tissue
- Developmental anatomy
- studying how one develops overthe course of their life span
- Embryology
- developmental anatomy focusing on the development before birth.
- Pathological anatomy
- is the study of sturctural changes as a result to disease
- Radiograpic anatomy
- is the study of the structure as seen through an x-ray or special scanning procedures.
- Molecular biology
- molecules are examined. in other words, chemical substances.
- Ranal psysiology
- study of the function of the kidney and urine production
- Neuro physiology
- explains teh working of the nervous system
- Cardiovascular physiology
- examines how the heart and its vessels operate.
- what events does physiology tend to truly focuse on the most?
- events at a cellular or molecular level because the body's abilities depends on thos of its individual cells and they inturn depend on the chemical reactions that occures around them
- principle of complementarity of structure and function
- how stucture and fucntion work together. for ex. the bone are hard (structure) to protect (function) bodily organs.
- what are the 6 Levels of Structuaral Organization?
-
1. Chemical level (simplest)
2. Celluar level
3. Tissue level
4. Organ level
5. Organ system
6. Organismal Level - Tell me about the cheimcal level of Structuaral Organization
- here, atoms turn into molecules which turns into oragelles, the basic component of Cells.
