Macroscopic Gross Anatomy
Gross Anatomy is the study of structure large enough to be seen with the naked eye.
EX. heart, lungs and kidneys.
Regional Anatomy the study of anatomy based on regions or divisions of the body and
emphasizing the relations between various structures (muscles and
nerves and arteries etc.) in that region
Microscopic Anatomy Deals with structures too small to be seen with the naked eye.
Cytology The study of individual cells, the branch of biology that studies
the structure and function of cells
Embryology a subdivision of developmental anatomy, concerns developmental
changes that occur before birth
Histology The study of tissues,the branch of biology that studies the
microscopic structure of animal or plant tissues
Cervical relating to or associated with the neck
Intergumentary system Major organs: skin, hair, sweat glands, nails, Functions: protects against
environmental hazards; helps regulate body temperature; provide
sensory information
Skeleton system an internal or external framework of bone, cartilage, or other
rigid material supporting or containing the body of an animal
or plant
Muscular system The bodily system that is composed of skeletal, smooth, and
cardiac muscle tissue and functions in movement of the body or of
materials through the body, maintenance of posture, and heat
production.
Nervous system the body's speedy, electrochemical communication system,
consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central
nervous systems
Lymphatic system system made of lymph nodes, blood vessels
, Respiratory system made of air way and lungs, The organ system responsible for the intake
of oxygen and diffusion of that gas into the blood and the elimination of
carbon dioxide from the body.
Urinary system consisting of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, removes wastes
from the blood and helps to maintain water and electrolyte
balance
Metabolism includes all chemical reactions that occur in the body, two
functions (catabolism and anabolism)
Catabolism provide energy by breaking down complex molecules into simple
molecules. (e.g) Protein-> amino acid
Anabolism uses the energy from catabolism to build up the bodys structural
and functions component. aslo called biosynthesis
Anterior Toward the front
Ventral same as Anterior (toward the front)
Posterior Toward the Back
Dorsal same as Posterior (toward the back)
Anatomical Postion body erect, feet slightly apart, palms facing forward
medial Toward the midline
Lateral Away from the midline
Supine To recline one's back: lie on back
Prone To recline one's front: lie on stomach
Homeostasis metabolic equilibrium actively maintained by several complex
biological mechanisms that operate via the autonomic nervous system
to offset
disrupting changes
Ribosomes that are sites of protein synthesis. packing of lipids and protein
Lysosomes Contain digestive enzymes or acid hydrolases and help to break down
substances
DNA The sugar is deoxyribose, The bases are
Adenine,Thymine,Cytosine,and Guanine. The molecule is a double
helix, it is found in the nucleus of a
cell never leaves the nucleus
RNA The sugar is ribose, The bases are Adenine,Uracil, Cytosine,and Guanine.
The molecule is single stranded
Nucleus What part of the cell does DNA stay at?
DNA Replication Is know as DNA making a copy of itself,
