FUNDAMENTALS OF ANATOMY AND
PHYSIOLOGY MARTINI NATH BARTHOLOMEW
COMPLETE COURSE REVIEW GUIDE
◉ Physiology.
Answer: The study of the Functions of the body, in other words, how
body parts work and carry out their life-sustaining activities.
◉ Gross Anatomy (aka: macroscopic).
Answer: The study of large body structures visible to the naked eye,
such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys.
◉ Microscopic Anatomy.
Answer: Deals with structures that are too small to be seen with the
naked eye. Sub-categories of this are cytology and histology.
◉ Developmental Anatomy.
Answer: Traces structural changes that occur throughout the
lifespan.
◉ Renal Physiology.
Answer: Kidney function and urine production
, ◉ Neurophysiology.
Answer: The branch of neuroscience that studies the physiology of
the nervous system
◉ Cardiovascular Physiology.
Answer: Examines the operation of the heart and blood vessels.
◉ The principle of complementarity of structure and function.
Answer: "Form fits function." The principle that parts of the body are
shaped due to the task they perform.
◉ Structural Hierarchy.
Answer: Chemical level, cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organ
system level, organism level
◉ Chemical Level.
Answer: This level of the structural hierarchy includes atoms and
molecules.
◉ Cellular Level.
