Define Anatomy - ANSWER: Study of the structure of body parts & their relationship
to one another. Derives from the Greek words meaning "to cut apart".
Define Physiology - ANSWER: Study of the function of the body. (How the body parts
work & carry out their life-sustaining activities.)
Explain the principles of complementarity. - ANSWER: FORM DETERMINES
FUNCTION
Define Gross or Macroscopic Anatomy - ANSWER: Study of large structures visible to
the naked eye, such as the heart, lungs & kidneys.
Define Regional Anatomy - ANSWER: All structures in a particular region of the body
such as the abdomen or legs, are examined at the same time.
Define Systemic Anatomy - ANSWER: Each body structure is studied system by
system.
Define Surface Anatomy - ANSWER: Study of internal structures as they relate to the
overlying skin surface. Ex: When identifying bulging muscles beneath skin, or when
clinicians locate blood vessels to feel a pulse.
Define Microscopic Anatomy - ANSWER: Structures too small to be seen with the
naked eye.
Subdivisions of Microscopic Anatomy include: - ANSWER: Ctyology: Study of cells
Histology: Study of tissue
Define Developmental Anatomy - ANSWER: Study if structural changes that occur in
the body throughout the life span.
Define Pathological Anatomy - ANSWER: Studies cultural changes caused by disease
Define Radiographic Anatomy - ANSWER: Studies internal structures as visualized by
X-ray or scanningq
Define Molecular biology - ANSWER: the structure of biological molecules (chemical
substances) are investigated
Palpation - ANSWER: Feeling organs with your hands
, Ausculation - ANSWER: Listening to organs with a stethoscope
Manipulate - ANSWER: work with
Anatomical Terminolgy - ANSWER: Name the parts and describe them
Renal Phsiology - ANSWER: Concerns kidney function and urine production
Neurophysiology - ANSWER: Explains the workings if the nervous system
Cardiovascular Physiology - ANSWER: Examines the operation of the heart and blood
vessels
Static image of the body - ANSWER: Anatomy
Dynamic and animated image of the body - ANSWER: Physiology
Form determines... - ANSWER: FUNCTION!
In what way does physiology depend on anatomy? - ANSWER: The operation of a
structure is promoted or prevented by its anatomy. Ex: oxygen and carbon dioxide
are exchanged across the very thin membranes of the lungs but not across the skin.
Would you be studying anatomy or physiology if you investigated how muscles
shorten? - ANSWER: Physiology
What about the location of the lungs? - ANSWER: Anatomy
Name the levels of structural organization that make up the human body, explain
their relationship (level of of structural organization) - ANSWER: 1. Chemical-Atoms
combine to create molecules
2. Cellular-Molecules combine to create organelles which combine to create cells
3. Tissue- Similar cells combine to create tissues
4. Organ-at least 2 types of tissue combine to create cells (normally 4)
5. Organ system- different organs work together closely
6. Organismal level-all structural levels working together
Four Basic types of tissue: - ANSWER: 1. Epithelium-covers body surface & lines
cavities
2. Muscle-provides movement
3. Connective Tissue-supports and protects body organs
4. Nervous Tissue-rapid internal communication by transmitting electrical impulses
Epithelium - ANSWER: Covers body surface & lines cavities
Connective Tissue - ANSWER: Supports and protects body organs
