A&P 319 Exam 1 TAMU COHN Study Guide | 100% Correct Answers | Verified | Latest 2024 Version

What is anatomy? - - How big something is' the geometry and shape, how it connects to the rest of the body - STRUCTURE: can be physically described - Size, shape, location, made of a group of substructures, links to other structures What is physiology? - The scientific investigation of the processes or functions of living things FUNCTION: how things work How are A&P linked? - -Form follows function; processes, structures and functions are all interwoven -Structure implies function -Physiology is explainable only in terms of the underlying anatomy -You can't FUNCTION without STRUCTURE, and vise versa. It is impossible to understand physiology without developing an understanding of anatomy; physiology is explainable only in terms of the underlying anatomy. Can A&P be studied together or separately? - -They can be studied together or separately, but there is a greater benefit in studying them together -Regionally, Systemically Regional anatomy (Regionally) - The body is studied area by area, and all systems within the area are studied simultaneously Systemic anatomy (Systemically) - the body is studied system by system. A system is a group of structures that have one or more common functions (cardiovascular system, digestive system, etc.); how we study anatomyWhat are the advantages and disadvantages to A&P? - Advantage of studying A&P together -Helps tie everything together -The information makes the most sense this way -Easier in the sense that they are interwoven so the material is easier to grasp when taught this way Disadvantage of studying A&P together -Loads of information -Details may be missed Which is predominate between regionally/ systemically in BIOL 319? Any exceptions? - Systemic predominates in Biol 319 Exceptions - going from cranium to study nerves and jumping to skeleton to study the system (regional) Explain the word Integrative in the titles of BIOL 319 / 320. - Integrative means that various aspects of both anatomy and physiology are linked/coordinated together -combining form and function to create a whole Histology - examines tissues, subcomponent of organs, which are composed of cells and the materials surrounding them; microscopic study of tissues (groups of similar cells) Gross anatomy - study of structures that can be viewed without a microscope; can be approached systemically or regionally; can be viewed by the naked eye; "large" Surface anatomy - Looking at the exterior of the body to visualize structures deeper inside the body Cell physiology - processes occurring in cells Systemic physiology - Function of organ systems Neurophysiology - Nervous systemCardiovascular physiology - Heart and blood vessels How are we studying anatomy in Bio 319? - Using a systems approach What four elements make up most of the body's molecules? - Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen (COHN) - Makes up 95 % of the body molecules What are the different levels can one study/learn/discuss in anatomy? - Chemical level (which involves interactions between atoms- atoms, molecules, organelles) ,Cell level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level and organisms level Atoms → Molecules → Cells → Tissues → Organs → Organ System → Organism -Chemical level: Atoms combine to form molecules -Cell level: Molecules form organelles, such as the nucleus and mitochondria, which make up the cells. -Tissue level: Similar cells and surrounding materials make up tissues. -Organ level: Different tissues combine to form organs, such as the urinary bladder. -Organ System level: Organs, such as the urinary bladder and kidneys, make up an organ system. -Organism level: Organ systems make up an organism Macromolecules - large molecules made up of smaller repeated units ex. protein, carbohydrates (sugars), lipids(fats), Nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) What is histology and what piece of equipment is ne
