TE MMAN BODY : AN ORIENTATION
minees
1. I Form
(anatomy) determines functions (physiology)
Anatomy study of the structure of living organisms
studies the structure of body parts and their relationship
,to one another ·




Anatomy because it is concrete
has a certain
appeal .

Body structures can

examined You don't imagine
be seen , felt , and closely
.
need to what they
look like .




Physiology study of the function of living organisms
Concerns the function of the
body how the
body parts work in other words ,

and their life sustaining activities when all is said and done
carry out , ,




physiology is explainable only in terms of the underlying anatomy .




Topics of Anatomy
Gross Anatomy is the
study of large body structures visible to the naked eye
. Such as

the heart lungs and
, , kidneys.
The term
anatomy relates most closely to
gross anatomy because in such studies

preserved animals or their organs are dissected to be examined


gross anatomy can be approached in different
ways :


In regional anatomy ,
all the structures in a
body particular region of the body ,
such as the

Microscopic Anatomy deals with structures too small be seen with the naked eye. For most suc
studies exceedingly thin slices of body tissues are stained and mounted on glass slides to be
,



examined under the microscope.

subdivisions of microscopic anatomy::

Cytology considers the cells of the body

Histology considers the study of tissues
.

, Developmental Anatomy traces structural changes that occur
throughout the life span
.




subdivision of developmental anatomy :

before birth
Embryology concerns developmental changes that occur




Studying Anatomy
One essential tool
studying anatomy is mastery of anatomical terminology
for Other tools are
.
observation manipulation and in living person palpation (feeling organs with your hand
, ,
a


and auscultation
(listening to organ sounds with a stethoscope).

Topics of Physiology
Renal
physiology concerns kidney function and urine
production

Neurophysiology explains the workings of the nervous system .




cardiovascular physiology examines the operation of the heart and blood vessels
.




complementarity of structure and Function


complementarity of structure and function is the relationship between a structure

and its function
. STRUCTURE DETERMINES FUNCTION !!!
