Physiology and Anatomy

• anatomy study body parts and relationship
• physiology studies body works and functions
• pathophysiology is a study about changes in deseases and aging
• gross or macroscopic anatomy seen by naked eye, has larger structure
• surface anatomy is internal related to overlying skin surface
• microscopic anatomy cannot be seen by naked eye -viewed by microscope
• developmental anatomy is changes through life span
• embryology is a developmental before birth
• language of anatomy is used to orevent misunderstanding in terms
• orientation

• Human anatomy and physiology –

  study of the structure and function of the

  human body.
• Anatomy- the scientific discipline that investigates the structure of the human body.
• Physiology – The scientific discipline

  that investigates the process of functions

  of living things.
• enumerate the 6 structural levels:

  • chemical level
  • cell level
  • tissue level
  • organ level
  • organ system level
  • organism
• Chemical level – atoms combine

  to form molecules
• Cell level – Molecule form

  organelles
• Tissue level – similar and surrounding material make up tissues
• Organ level –diff tissue combine

  to form organs
• Organ system level –Organs

  make up an organ system
• Organism – organs sytem make

  up an organism
• enumerate the characteristics of life:

  • organization
  • metabolism
  • responsiveness
  • growth
  • development
  • reproduction
• Organization – Specific

  interrelationships among the parts

  of an organism and how those

  parts interact to perform specific

  functions.
• Metabolism- To use energy to perform vital functions
