, anatomy - Correct Answer: study of structure and form; derived from Greek word Anatome which
means to cut apart or dissect; Anatomists study structure and form of organims studying the
relationships among parts of the body and the structure of individual organs
physiology - Correct Answer: the study of function of the body parts; physiologists examine how organs
and body systems function under normal circumstances as well as how their functions are altered with
medication or disease
branches of anatomy - Correct Answer: microscopic- structures that cannot be observed to the unaided
eye
(cytology- study of body cells and their internal structure;
histology- study of tissues)
gross anatomy- structures that can be observed to the unaided eye,; macroscopic
(systemic anatomy- anatomy of each body system;
regional anatomy- examines all of the structures in a particular region of the body as a complete unit)
embryology - Correct Answer: discipline concerned with developmental changes occuring from
conception to birth
comparative A&P - Correct Answer: examines similarities and differences of anatomy and physiology of
different species
pathophysiology - Correct Answer: relationship between the functioning of an organ system and disease
or injury to that organ system
basic qualities of life - Correct Answer: organization- each organism has a complex structure and order
metabolism- the sum of all chemical reactions to occur within a body; anabolism (smaller molecules
form larger) and catabolism (larger molecules are broken down to smaller)
growth and development- each organism assimilates materials from its environment and often grows
and develops
responsiveness- ability to sense and react to stimuli
regulation- ability to adjust or direct internal bodily function in the face of environmental changes-
homeostasis- ability of an organism to maintain a consistent internal environment
