1. anatomy the study of body structures and the relationships that exist among them
2. embryology refers to the study of structures of a fertilized egg through the eighth week in utero
3. developmental structures emerge from fertilized egg to the adult form
biology
4. cell biology cellular structures and functions
5. histology microscopic structure of tissues
6. surface anatomical landmarks on the surface of the body through visualization and pal-
pation
7. gross (big) structures which can be examined without the use of a microscope
8. systemic structure of specific systems of the body
9. regional specific regions of the body
10. radiographic body structures visualized with x-rays
11. pathological structural changes associated with disease
12. physiology the study of body structures or how the body parts work
13. neurophysiology functional properties of nerve cells
14. endocrinology hormones and how they control body functions

18. renal physiology functions of the kidney
19. exercise physiol- changes in cell and organ functions as a result of muscular activity
ogy
20. pathophysiology functional changes associated with disease and aging
21. atoms the smallest units of matter and participate in chemical reactions to form mole-
cules
22. molecules two or more atoms joined together
23. cell the four macromolecules along with other inorganic molecules come together to
form the basic structural and functional units of all organisms
24. organelles the structural and functional units of a cell and vary greatly between the different
types of cells
25. structure and the diversity of cell types which make up the human body are defined by this
function
26. tissue comprised of groups of cells and surrounding materials that have a similar
structure and origin
27. epithelial tissue covering body surfaces; lining hollow organs and cavities; forms glands
28. muscle tissue moving body parts; move fluids within organs, generate heat to maintain body
temperature
29. connective tissue connecting, supporting, and protecting body organs; most abundant and diverse
30. nervous tissue communication through electrical pulses (nerve impulses)
31. organs
