REVIEW RESOURCE
●● anatomy
Answer: -the study of the parts of the body and their relationship to each
other
●● gross anatomy
Answer: -the study of body structures that one can see without the aid of
a microscope
●● histology
Answer: -the microscopic study of the anatomy of tissues and their
cellular basis
●● comparative anatomy
Answer: -the comparison of anatomical structures of different animals,
both similarities and differences
●● embryology
Answer: -the study of anatomical changes in tissues from conception to
birth
,●● developmental anatomy
Answer: -the study of embryology as well as the anatomical changes that
occur from birth to death
●● pathological anatomy
Answer: -the study of anatomical changes that occur in tissues as a result
of disease
●● athletic training
Answer: -healthcare professionals who collaborate with physicians to
maximize activity and participation of patients and clients
●● biomechanics
Answer: -the study of the human body in motion
●● developmental biomechanics
Answer: -focuses on evaluating essential movement patterns across the
lifespan
-examples: assess movement changes in adults in order to identify the
causes of trips, slips and falls that the elderly population experiences
●● biomechanics of exercise and sport
,Answer: -focuses on postures and movement patterns that minimize the
risk of injury during physical activity and improve performance
-example: designing of footwear
●● rehabilitative biomechanics
Answer: -focused on studying the movement patterns of injured and
disabled people
-example: development of exercise machines to train individuals back to
pre-injury function
●● occupational biomechanics
Answer: -focuses on providing a safer and more efficient environment
for the worker
-example: improvement and the design of transportation modules
●● forensic biomechanics
Answer: -analyze evidence, clarify some of the most important issues
and facilitate decisions of the jury
-example: personal injury cases
●● epidemiology
Answer: -examines the relationship between walking regularly and the
risk of developing certain diseases
, ●● areas of study for exercise epidemiologists
Answer: -cardiovascular disease
-cerebrovascular disease
-hypertension
-diabetes
-osteoporosis
-cancer
-mental health
●● cardiovascular disease
Answer: -any disease that affects the cardiovascular system
●● cerebrovascular disease
Answer: -any disease resulting from the obstructive effects of
atherosclerosis in the arteries that supply blood to the brain
●● hypertension
Answer: -persistently high arterial blood pressure
●● diabetes
Answer: -type 1: failure of pancreas to produce insulin
-type 2: insulin insensitivity
