Human Anatomy Chapter 1 Term Test
1. Anatomy: Study of structure
2. Physiology: Study of function
3. Inspection: Looking at the body's appearance's and making a clinical diagnosis from appearance
4. Palpation: Feeling a structure with the hands
5. Ausculation: Listening to the natural sounds of the body(heart and lungs)
6. Percussion: Taps on body, feels abnormal resistance, and listens to the emitted sounds for signs of abnormal-
ities like pockets of fluid, air or scar tissue.
7. Dissection: Cutting and separating tissue to reveal their relationship
8. Cadaver: Dead human body used for science
9. Comparative anatomy: Study of multiple species in order to examine similarities and differences and
analyze evolutionary trends
1/3
, 10. Exploratory Surgery: Opening the body and taking a look inside to see what was wrong and what could
have been done
11. Medical Imaging: Methods of viewing the inside of the body without surgery
12. Radiology: X rays and radioactive substances
13. Gross Anatomy: Structures can be seen with the naked eye, surface observation, radiology, or dissection
14. Histology: Take tissue specimens, thinly sliced and stain the, observe them under a microscope
15. Histopathology: The microscopic examination of tissues for signs of disease
16. Cytology: Study of the structure and function of the individual cells
17. Ultrastructure: Fine detail, down to molecular level, revealed by the electron microscope
18. Neurophysiology: Physiology of the nervous system
19. Endocrinology: Physiology of hormones
20. Pathophysiology: Mechanisms of disease
