EXAM | GRADED A+ | VERIFIED
ANSWERS (JUST RELEASED)
Homeostasis - constant internal physical and chemical conditions that organisms
maintain
Anatomy - study of STRUCTURE;
dissection - the act of cutting apart
Physiology - study of FUNCTION
Developmental Biology - study of complete development of an individual from
fertilization to death
Embryology - the first 8 weeks of development after fertilization of a human egg
, cell biology - cellular structure and functions
Histology - study of tissues
Gross Anatomy - can be examined without a microscope
systemic anatomy - specific body systems
Regional Anatomy - specific regions of the body ex: head or chest
surface (topographical) anatomy - Anatomy from the outside, study of the structure of
the body with emphasis on superficial landmarks
Imaging anatomy - Internal body structures that can be visualized with techniques such
as x-rays, MRI, CT scans, and other technologies for clinical analysis and medical intervention.
clinical anatomy - the practical application of anatomical knowledge to diagnose and
treat disease
pathological anatomy - structural changes associated with disease and aging
Molecular physiology - Functions of individual molecules such as proteins and DNA
Neurophysiology - Functional properties of nerve cells
endocrinology - study of hormones, hormone-secreting glands, and their diseases
