HUMAN ANATOMY NIGHTINGALE
FINAL ALT QUESTIONS
Anatomy - Ans---the study of the structure of the human body
-Also called morphology
- been around since 2300 years
_ related to physiology
morphology - Ans--the science of form.
physiology - Ans--the study of body function
Gross anatomy - Ans--is the study of body structures that can be examined by
the naked eye—the bones, lungs, and muscles,
- Important technique for studying GA is Dissection
Studies of gross anatomy can be approached in several different ways. - Ans--
regional anatomy
Surface anatomy
systemic anatomy, - Ans--by contrast, all the organs with related functions are
studied together.
-
dissection - Ans--in which connective tissue is removed from between the
body organs so that the organs can be seen more clearly. Then the organs are
cut open for viewing.
regional anatomy - Ans--all structures in a single body region, such as the
abdomen or head, are examined as a group.
-many injuries and diseases involve specific body regions (sprained ankle,
sore throat, heart disease); furthermore, surgeons need extensive and
detailed knowledge of each body region.
surface anatomy, - Ans---the study of shapes and markings (called
landmarks) on the surface of the body that reveal the underlying organs.
, -used to identify the muscles that bulge beneath the skin in weight lifters, and
clinicians use it to locate blood vessels for placing catheters, feeling pulses,
and drawing blood.
Microscopic anatomy, - Ans--is the study of structures that are so small they
can be seen only with a microscope.These structures include cells and cell
parts; groups of cells, called tissues; and the microscopic details of the organs
of the body (stomach, spleen, and so on).
-A knowledge of microscopic anatomy is important because physiological
and disease processes occur at the cellular level.
Two branches of anatomy explore how body structures form, grow, and
mature - Ans--Developmental anatomy
Embryology
Developmental anatomy - Ans--Traces the structural changes that occur in
the body throughout the life span and the effects of aging.
Embryology - Ans--is the study of how body structures form and develop
before birth.
-helps to explain birth defects,
which are anatomical abnormalities that occur during embryonic
development and are evident after birth.
Some specialized branches of anatomy are used primarily for medical
diagnosis and scientific research. - Ans--Pathological
Radiographic
Functional Morphology
Pathological - Ans--deals with the structural changes in cells, tissues, and
organs caused by disease.
Radiographic - Ans--is the study of internal body structures by means of X-ray
studies and other imaging techniques
Functional morphology - Ans--The function of an organism in realtion to its
form
