    • What is the definition of anatomy?
      Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts and their relationships to one another.
    • What are the main types of anatomy?
      • Gross or macroscopic anatomy
      • Microscopic anatomy
      • Developmental anatomy
      • Pathological anatomy
      • Imaging anatomy
    • What does gross or macroscopic anatomy study?
      It studies the larger parts of the body which are easily observable structures.
    • What is regional anatomy?
      Regional anatomy studies all structures in one part of the body, such as the abdomen or leg.
    • What is systemic anatomy?
      Systemic anatomy studies the gross anatomy of the body by system.
    • What does surface anatomy focus on?
      Surface anatomy focuses on internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin.
    • What is microscopic anatomy?
      Microscopic anatomy is the study of body structures that are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
    • What is cytology?
      Cytology is the study of cells.
    • What is histology?
      Histology is the study of tissues.
    • What is developmental anatomy?
      Developmental anatomy studies the growth and development changes in the body as we grow.
    • What does embryology study?
      Embryology studies the developmental changes of the body before birth.
    • What is pathological anatomy?
      Pathological anatomy studies structural changes associated with disease.
    • What is imaging anatomy?
      Imaging anatomy involves body structures that can be visualized with techniques such as x-rays, MRI, and CT scans.
    • What is physiology?
      Physiology is the study of how the body and its parts work or function.
    • What does renal physiology focus on?
      Renal physiology focuses on kidney function.
    • What does cardiovascular physiology study?
      Cardiovascular physiology studies the function of the heart and blood vessels.
    • What is neurophysiology?
      Neurophysiology studies the functional properties of nerve cells.
    • What does endocrinology study?
      Endocrinology studies hormones and how they control body functions.
    • What is exercise physiology?
      Exercise physiology studies changes in cell and organ functions due to muscular activity.
    • What is pathophysiology?
      Pathophysiology studies functional changes associated with disease and aging.
    • What is the principle of complementary in anatomy and physiology?
      The principle of complementary states that anatomy and physiology are inseparable, where structure determines function.
    • How does structure determine function in the heart?
      The heart is muscular, allowing it to contract effectively.
    • Why do lungs have a thin layer?
      Lungs have a thin layer to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
    • What are the levels of structural organization in the human body?
      1. Atomic level
      2. Molecular level
      3. Chemical level
      4. Cellular level
      5. Tissue level
      6. Organ level
      7. Organ system level
      8. Organismal level
    • What is the atomic level in structural organization?
      The atomic level is the building blocks of matter and the smallest unit of an element.
    • What is the molecular level in structural organization?
      The molecular level involves a group of atoms.
    • What is the cellular level in structural organization?
      The cellular level is the basic unit of life and the smallest unit of life.
    • What is epithelial tissue?
      Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, lines hollow organs and cavities, and forms glands.
    • What is connective tissue?
      Connective tissue connects, supports, and protects body organs while distributing blood vessels to other tissues.
    • What is muscular tissue?
      Muscular tissue contracts to make body parts move and generates heat.
    • What is nervous tissue?
      Nervous tissue carries information from one part of the body to another through nerve impulses.
    • What is the organ level in structural organization?
      The organ level is a combination of two or more types of tissues that have the same functions.
    • What is the organ system level in structural organization?
      The organ system level is a group of organs that have varying functions.
    • What is the organismal level in structural organization?
      The organismal level consists of several organ systems that function together to form one organism.
    • What are the body systems and their functions?
      1. Integumentary system: protects and waterproofs the body.
      2. Reproductive system: produces offspring and secretes hormones.
      3. Urinary system: releases nitrogenous waste and maintains acid-base balance.
      4. Respiratory system: gas exchange and oxygen supply.
      5. Digestive system: breakdown of foods into absorbable nutrients.
      6. Lymphatic system: complements cardiovascular system and houses WBC.
      7. Endocrine system: secretes hormones regulating body processes.
      8. Circulatory system: blood transport and nutrient delivery.
      9. Nervous system: main control system and responds to environment.
      10. Muscular system: contraction and movement.
      11. Skeletal system: supports and protects body organs.
    • What is the function of the integumentary system?
      The integumentary system waterproofs the body and protects deeper tissues from injury.
    • What is the primary function of the reproductive system?
      The reproductive system is responsible for the production of offspring.
    • What does the urinary system do?
      The urinary system releases nitrogenous waste and maintains acid-base balance.
    • What is the function of the respiratory system?
      The respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange and keeping blood supplied with oxygen.
    • What is the primary function of the digestive system?
      The digestive system breaks down foods into absorbable nutrients.
