and Answers
Subdivisions of Anatomy - ANS-Surface Anatomy, Gross Anatomy, Systemic Anatomy,
Developmental Anatomy, Embryology, Histology, Cytology, Pathological Anatomy
Surface Anatomy - ANS-Study of the form & markings of the body surface
Gross Anatomy - ANS-Study of structures without the use of a microscope
Systemic Anatomy - ANS-Study of the specific systems of the body (i.e. reproductive)
Developmental Anatomy - ANS-Study of development from the fertilized egg to the adult
Embryology - ANS-Study of development from the fertilized egg to week 8
Histology - ANS-Microscopic study of tissue structure
Organ Level - ANS-Structures that are composed of 2 or more different tissues & have
specific functions
System Level - ANS-A system consists of related organs that have a common function
Organism Level - ANS-All systems functioning together to form one living individual
Life Processes - ANS-Metabolism, Responsiveness, Movement, Growth, Differentiation,
Reproduction
Metabolism - ANS-The sum of all chemical reactions that occur in the body
Catabolism - ANS-Breaking down molecules to release energy needed to sustain life
Anabolism - ANS-Formation of larger molecules utilizing the energy from catabolic
reactions
Responsiveness - ANS-The ability to detect & respond to changes outside or inside the
body
Movement - ANS-Includes motion of the whole body, individual organs, single cells, &
structures within cells
, Growth - ANS-Includes an increase in the size of existing cells, the number of cells, or
the amount of substances surrounding cells
Differentiation - ANS-Process whereby unspecialized cells become specialized cells
Reproduction - ANS-Refers to the formation of new cells for growth, repair, or
replacement or to the production of a new individual
Human Body Structure - ANS-Backbone, tube-within-a-tube construction, bilaterally
symmetrical
Tube-within-a-tube construction - ANS-Body wall (outer) & digestive tract (inner)
Human Body Anatomical Position - ANS-stands erect, faces observer, feet flat and
directed forward, arms at sides and palms faced forward
Human Body Function - ANS-allows directional terms to be clear, any body part or
region can be described relative to any other part
