• Anatomy studies the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another.
• At times, this type of response is required to re-achieve homeostasis.
• The word anatomy means to dissect, or cut apart and separate, the parts of the body for study.
• Systemic anatomy is the study of the body by systems, such as the cardiovascular, nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems.
• Regional anatomy is the study of the organization of the body by areas.
• Surface anatomy is the study of external features, such as bony projections, which serve as landmarks for locating deeper structures.
• Anatomical imaging involves the use of x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other technologies to create pictures of internal structures, such as when determining if a bone is broken or a ligament is torn.
• Physiology is the function of the body parts and the scientific discipline that deals with the processes or functions of living things.
• Structure dictates function.
• Gross or Macroscopic anatomy refers to parts visible to the naked eye, such as regional, surface, systemic anatomy.
• Microscopic anatomy includes Cytology, the study of cells, and Histology, the study of tissues.
• Developmental anatomy, or Embryology, studies changes that occur before birth.
• At times, this type of response is required to re-achieve homeostasis.
• Anatomy studies the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another.
• Physiology focuses on events at the cellular or molecular level and deals with chemical and physical principles.
• The word anatomy means to dissect, or cut apart and separate, the parts of the body for study.
• Cell physiology examines the processes occurring in cells.
• Systemic physiology considers the functions of organ systems.
• Systemic anatomy is the study of the body by systems, such as the cardiovascular, nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems.
• Neurophysiology focuses on the nervous system.
• The cardiovascular system consists of blood vessels that transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc.
• An organ is composed of two or more tissue types that perform one or more common functions.
• The nervous system is the fast-acting control system of the body, it responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands.
• The lungs are not muscular chambers like the heart and cannot pump blood, but because the walls of lungs are very thin, they can exchange gasses and provide oxygen to the body.
• An organ system is a group of organs that together perform a common function or set of functions and are therefore viewed as a unit.
• The lymphatic system/immunity picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood.
• A tissue is composed of a group of similar cells and the materials surrounding them.
• Atoms combine to form molecules, such as water, sugar, fats, and proteins.
• The heart pumps blood.
• Regional anatomy is the study of the organization of the body by areas.
• The respiratory system keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide.
• The integumentary system forms the external body covering and protects deeper tissues from injury.
• An organism is any living thing considered as a whole - whether composed of one cell, such as a bacterium or of trillions of cells, such as a human being.
• The gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs.
• The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells.
• Molecules combine to form organelles, which are the small structures that make up cells.
• Cardiovascular physiology deals with the heart and blood vessels.
• Cells are the basic structural and functional units of plants and animals.
• The skeletal system protects and supports body organs and provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement.
• The muscular system allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression.
