form and function are function dictating form
inseparable, with ________
Anatomy is the study of structure and form
__________
Physiology is the study of function of the body parts
__________
Cytology is the study of body cells and their internal structure
Histology is the study of tissues
physiologists examine... -the function of various organ systems
they typically focus on... -the molecular or cellular level
to gain a complete -the system's workings
understanding of...
very broad and may be divided into smaller groups;
the discipline parallels these groups are cardiovascular physiology,
anatomy because it also is neurophysiology, respiratory physiology, reproductive
physiology, and pathophysiology
Anatomy and Physiology form (anatomy) and function (physiology) are
appear to be different, but interrelated
further reflection reveal
these two sciences are
integrated, because
scientists group the body's levels of organization
components into an
organized hierachy of form
and function called
characteristics that growth, development, responsiveness, regulation, and
describe living things reproduction
,metabolism is subsumed two interrelated processes; anabolism and catabolism
into
Anatomists and increasing complex organization in humans: chemical,
physiologists recognize cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
several levels of
The chemical level is the simplest level involving atoms and molecules
atoms are the ________ and smallest intact chemical units; combinations of atoms
molecules are ________
the cellular level consists of cells
_______
the smallest living structures and serve as the basic
Cells are
units of structure and function
biochemical macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids,
Interfaced between
proteins, and nucleic acid) and the cellular
chemical level and cellular
substructures these macromolecules form, which are
level are the
the organelles
the tissue level is groups or similar cells that collectively form common
compromised of functions
the organ level is human organs that are composed of two or more tissue
composed of types that perform specific, complex functions
the organ system level organs that work together to coordinate activities and
contains achieve a common function
highest level human structural organization, comprised
the organism is the of all of the organ systems working in an integrated
functional manner
complex multicellular human, a myriad of complex metabolic processes
organisms, like a _____,
perform
each organ system is certain major physiological task (its name reflects that
assigned a major task)
no organ system only one
performs ______ task
same tasks are shared by one organ system as exemplified by the control of acid/
more than base balance
, point of reference used when describing the position of
anatomic position is
certain anatomical structures in the human body
the person stands erect and upright with their limbs at
in order to assume the their side, their palms facing anteriorly and feet held
anatomical position together but positioned in a 45-degree angle from one
another
the term section implies an actual cut or slice to expose the internal anatomy
imaginary flat surface passing through the body;
a plane is an
coronal, transverse, sagittal, and oblique planes
the coronal, transverse, and oblique plane
sagittal planes are at a
perfect 90 degree angle
from one another. If a plane
is cut at another angle, it is
termed an
-front
Anterior- -back
posterior- -is at the back side of the human body
dorsal- -is at the belly side of the human body
ventral- -the structure closest to the point of attachment to the
proximal- body trunk
distal- -the structure farthest away from the point of
attachment to the body trunk
the human body is axial and appendicular
partitioned into two main
regions
the axial region includes head, neck, trunk
the appendicular region is the upper and lower limbs, which attach to the axial
composed of region

mass of ____ amu positive, 1
protons have a ______ charge,
also having ____ amu
neutrons and protons are atomic nucleus
located in the
