bio 210 lecture exam 1
Anatomy - answersstudies the form and structure of the body.
Physiology - answersexamines living organisms and their parts of how they function
Microscopic anatomy - answersexamines structures that cannot be observed by the
unaided eye
Two main subdivisions of microscopic anatomy - answerscytology and histology
cytology - answersstudy of cells
Histology - answersstudy of tissues
Gross anatomy or macroscopic anatomy - answersinvestigates the structure visible to
the aided eye
Systematic anatomy - answerseach individual body system
Regional anatomy - answersall the structures in a particular region of the body
Surface anatomy - answersfocuses on superficial anatomic markings and internal body
structures
Comparative anatomy - answersexamines similarities and differences in the anatomy of
different species
Embryology - answersstudies developmental changes from conception to birth
Pathologic anatomy - answersexamines anatomic changes resulting from disease
, Radiographic anatomy - answersinvestigates internal structures with visual scanning
procedures
Physiology - answersexamines living organisms and their parts of how they function
Cardiovascular physiology - answersthe functioning of the heart, blood vessels and
blood
Neurophysiology - answersfunctioning of the nerves and nervous system organs
Pathophysiology - answersrelationship between the function of an organ system and
disease of injury of the system
Respiratory physiology - answersfunctioning of respiratory organs
Reproductive physiology - answersthe functioning of the hormones and reproductive
cycle
Homeostasis - answersthe body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment
Receptor - answerscomponent of homeostasis that the structure that detects changes in
the stimulus, sensory nerves
Stimulus - answerscomponent of homeostasis that changes in a variable that is
regulated
Control center - answerscomponent of homeostasis that processes the change that
occurred from the receptor
Negative feedback - answersif it is high, lower it. If it is low, raise it. Negative because
the response is opposite of the stimulus
Set point - answersvariable maintained within a normal level
The hypothalamus - answerspart of the brain that regulates body temperature
Positive feedback - answersmoves the stimulus in the same direction, occurs less
frequently than negative feedback
Simplest levels of organization composed of chemical structures - answersatoms, ions,
and molecules
Human body is composed of matter - answerssolid, liquid, gas that is anything that has
mass or takes up space
Anatomy - answersstudies the form and structure of the body.
