Explain how anatomy and Anatomy studies the structure and shape of the
physiology are related. body and physiology is the study of how the
body works
surface anatomy the study of exterior features
gross/macroscopic anatomy the study of examining large, visible structures
,regional anatomy the study of body areas like the head, neck, or
trunk
Systemic anatomy the study of groups of organs working together
like the skeletal system
Developmental anatomy the study of the egg (embryology) to maturity
Clinical anatomy medical specialties such as surgical anatomy
Microscopic anatomy the study of examining cells and molecules
cytology study of cells and their structures
histology the study of tissues and their structures
cell physiology processes within and between cells
organ physiology functions of specific organs
systemic physiology functions of an organ system
, pathological physiology effects of diseases
Name the levels of structural CHEMICAL LEVEL-atoms to molecules.
organization CELLULAR LEVEL-organelles, protein filaments
TISSUE LEVEL-similar cells working together to
form tissue.
ORGAN-the combo of tissues to form organs.
ORGAN SYSTEM LEVEL- the combo of organs
that work together.
ORGANISM LEVEL-sum total of all structural
levels working together resulting in a living
object
Metabolism the chemical reactions occurring in the cells and
tissues of the body
Anabolism BUILDING PROTEINS (USES ENERGY) synthesis
of new molecules w/i the body's cells or tissues
Ex: anabolic steroids= building muscle mass
Catabolism BREAKING DOWN food, creates energy Ex: CAT-
bolism CATS break things
Homeostasis A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant
internal state
intrinsic regulation/ autoregulation automatic response in a cell, tissue, or organ
Extrinsic regulation Responses controlled by nervous and endocrine
systems EXTRA help
