Anatomy - ANSWER-The scientific study of the body's structures, historically studied
through dissection and modern imaging techniques.
Physiology - ANSWER-The study of the body's structures' functions and processes,
explaining how functions maintain life.
Structural Organization of the Human Body - ANSWER-The organization of the human
body into structural levels: chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, system, and organism.
Metabolism - ANSWER-The set of life processes that includes both anabolism and
catabolism.
Essential life processes - ANSWER-Processes that include organization, metabolism,
responsiveness, movement, growth, and differentiation, all of which operate
continuously to sustain life.
Critical survival elements - ANSWER-Elements necessary for survival, including
oxygen, water, and essential nutrients like carbohydrates and proteins.
Survival limits - ANSWER-Temperature ranges and atmospheric pressure needed to
maintain homeostasis and facilitate respiration.
Homeostasis - ANSWER-The maintenance of a stable internal environment, regulated
by negative feedback loops and, less commonly, by positive feedback loops.
Anatomical Terminology - ANSWER-Terms derived from Greek and Latin that provide
precise mapping of the body's structures.
Body planes - ANSWER-Planes used in medical imaging and anatomy, including
sagittal, frontal, and transverse.
Medical Imaging - ANSWER-Innovations like X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, PET scans,
and ultrasonography that enhance understanding of the human body's form and
function.
Gross Anatomy - ANSWER-The study of large structures in the human body.
through dissection and modern imaging techniques.
