1. Define Anatomy: the scientific discipline that investigates the body's
structures
2. Define Developmental Anatomy: studies the structural changes that
occur between conception and adulthood
3. Define Embryology: subspecialty of developmental anatomy, studies
changes from conception to the end of the 8th week of development
4. Define Cytology: examines the structural features of cells
5. Define Histology: examines tissues, which are composed of cells and
the materials surrounding them
6. Define Gross Anatomy: the study of structures that can be examined
without the aid of a microscope
1/
,7. How is the body studied in regional anatomy?: area by area
8. How is the body studied in systemic anatomy?: system by system
9. Define System: a group of structures that have one or more common
function
10. Define Surface Anatomy: involves looking at the exterior of the
body to visualize structures deeper inside the body
11. Who was the first medical scientist to use x-rays?: Wilhelm
Roentgen
12. Define Anatomical Anomalies: physical characteristics that ditter
from the normal pattern
13. Define Physiology: the scientific investigation of the processes or
functions of living things
14. What are the major goals of studying human physiology?: to
understand and predict
the body's responses to stimuli and to understand how the body
maintains conditions within a narrow range of values in a constantly
changing environment
2/
, 15. Define Cell Physiology: examines the processes occurring in cells
16. Define Systemic Physiology: considers the functions of organ
systems
17. Define Neurophysiology: focuses on the nervous system
18. Define Cardiovascular Physiology: deals with the heart and blood
vessels
19. Define Pathology: the medical science dealing with all aspects of
disease with an emphasis on the cause and development of abnormal
conditions as well as the structural and functional changes resulting
from disease
20. Define Exercise Physiology: focuses on changes in structure and
function caused by disease
