Question 3: Microscopic Anatomy
Answer: study of structures that cannot be seen without magnification
Question 4: Cytology and Histology
Answer: types of microscopic anatomy
Question 5: Cytology
Answer: analyzes the internal structure of cells, the smallest units of life
Question 6: Histology
Answer: study of tissues
Question 7: Tissues
Answer: groups of specialized cells aneed cell products that work together and perform specific funtions
Question 8: Epithelial, connective, muscle and neural
Answer: 4 types of tissues
Question 9: Organ
Answer: Anatomical structure that has multiple functions. Ex. heart, kidney

,Question 11: Surface Anatomy
Answer: the study of general anatomical form, or morphology
Question 12: Regional anatomy
Answer: study of the superficial and internal features in a specific area of the body, such as the head, neck
or trunk.
Question 13: Systemic Anatomy
Answer: the study of anatomy based upon the body's organ systems
Question 14: Organ System
Answer: Group of organs that function together to produce coordinated effects. Ex. Heart, blood and blood
vessels form the cardiovascular system, which distributes oxygen and nutrients throughout the body
Question 15: Developmental Anatomy
Answer: studies the changes in form that take place between conception and physical maturity. Involves
both microscopic and gross anatomy
Question 16: Embryology
Answer: study of early developmental processes
Question 17: Comparative Anatomy
Answer: studies the anatomical organization of different types of animals
Question 18: Clinical Anatomy
Answer: focuses on anatomical features that may undergo recognizable pathological changes during illness
Question 19: Surgical Anatomy
Answer: studies anatomical landmarks important for surgical procedures
Question 20: Radiographic Anatomy
Answer: utilizes x-rays, ultrasound scans, or other specialized procedures performed on an intact body to
visualize and study anatomical structures

, Question 21: Cross-Sectional Anatomy
Answer: has emerged due to advances in radiographic anatomy, such as computerized tomography (CT)
Question 22: Pathological Anatomy
Answer: study of structural changes caused by disease
Question 23: chemical level, cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level, human organism
level
Answer: Levels of Structural Organization
Question 24: Homeostasis
Answer: A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state
Question 25: Chemical Level
Answer: atoms combine to form small molecules and larger macromolecules
Question 26: Cellular Level
Answer: cells are comprised of molecules; they are the smallest living units in the body; cellular organelles
are their functional subunits
Question 27: Tissue Level
Answer: similar types of cells, with a common function, combine to form tissues; four primary tissue types
comprise all organs of the human body
Question 28: Organ Level
Answer: more than one tissue type (often all four tissues) combine to form organs; extremely complex
physiological processes occur at this level
Question 29: Organ System Level
Answer: organs that work closely together combine to form an organ system, to accomplish a common
purpose; there are 11 organ systems of the human body
Question 30: Human Organism
Answer: the highest level of structural organization; this is the combination of all the organ systems
functioning together to sustain the life of the organism
