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
anatomy
What 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 . - ✔✔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 system
Cardiovascular 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,
