⩥ What is anatomy?.
Answer: the study of structure of body parts and their relationship to one
another
⩥ What is physiology?.
Answer: the study of function of the body - how the body parts work and
carry out their life sustaining activities
⩥ What is gross or macroscopic anatomy?.
Answer: the study of the large body structures, visible to the naked eye
such as heart, lungs kidneys
⩥ What is regional anatomy?.
Answer: the study of all the structures in a particular region of the
body.ex: abdomen or legs
,⩥ What is systemic anatomy?.
Answer: the study of body systems such as the cardiovascular system
⩥ What are the 3 different subdivisions of gross or macroscopic
anatomy?.
Answer: regional, systemic, and surface anatomy
⩥ What is surface anatomy?.
Answer: the study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying
skin surface - e.g. - identifying the bulging muscles beneath a
bodybuilders skin or to locate appropriate blood vessels in which to feel
pulses or draw blood
⩥ What are 2 subdivisions of study for microscopic anatomy?.
Answer: cytology (cells) and histology (tissues)
⩥ What is developmental anatomy?.
Answer: Tracing structural changes that occur in the body throughout
the life span -- Embryology is a subdivision of developmental anatomy
that concerns developmental changes occurring before birth
⩥ What are some subdivisions of physiology?.
, Answer: renal physiology (operation of kidney), neurophysiology
(nervous system), and cardiovascular physiology (operation of the heart
and blood vessels)
⩥ What is the principle of complementarity?.
Answer: anatomy and physiology are inseparable, the function always
refects structure and what a structure can do depends on its specific
form.
⩥ In what way does physiology depend of anatomy?.
Answer: the operation or function of a structure is dictated by its
anatomy
⩥ Would you be studying anatomy or physiology if you investigated
how muscles shorten? If you explored the location of the lungs in the
body?.
Answer: Muscle shortening is a topic of physiology. The body location
of the lungs is an anatomy topic.
⩥ What are the levels of structural organization?.
Answer: chemical (atoms and molecules), cellular, tissue, organ, organ
system and organismal level
⩥ What does the digestive system do?.
