Cytology - ANS - study of cells
Embyology - ANS - study of developmental changes of the body before birth
what happens to a baby before birth. Growth phases before birth
Gross or macroscopic anatomy - ANS - the study of the large body structures, visible to the

histology - ANS - study of tissues
(bigger than cells)
microscopic - ANS - too small to be seen except under a microscope such as cells, and tissue
Microscpoic Anatomy - ANS - the study of small structures like cells, or tissues
Molecular Biology - ANS - study of anatomical structures at a sub-cellular level (smallest levels -
looking at all the chemicals, carbohydrates, of how they look and what they do.
pathological Anatomy - ANS - study of structural changes caused by disease
Skin cancer and how a disease progresses) how your body reacts because of it
Physiology
Renal and cardiovascular - ANS - the study of how the body and its parts work or function
Body systems
Focuses on the functions of the body, often at the cellular or molecular level
-How the kidney filters out urine
-How does the heart pump blood every day and get O2
Physiology - ANS - the study of how the body and its parts work or function
Principle of Complementarity - ANS - (how something works is based on how something is)
what structure can do depends on it's specific form
