Terms in this set (256)
Homeostasis regulation of stable internal body functions
Anatomy "to cut apart"; study of structure of body parts and relationships
to each other
study of the function of the body
parts; how they
Physiology work to carry out life-sustaining activities
Gross (macroscopic study of large, visible structures
anatomy)
Microscopic anatomy need instrument to see; study of structures too small to be
visible to naked eye
Histology study of tissues
Cytology study of cells
Developmental Anatomy study of structural changes that occur between conception and
adulthood
Embryology study of developments before birth
Gross/Macroscopic studies large body structures such as stomach, lungs, heart
Anatomy
Systemic Anatomy ex. cardiologist
Regional Anatomy ear, nose, throat
Microscopic Anatomy ex. cytology, histology
Radiological Anatomy study of anatomy using, non-invasive technology
,Computed tomography uses x-rays, invented in 1970s x-rays pass through body in
(CT) thin cross-sections. Computer puts images of the cross-
sections together to give 3D image
Ultrasound uses sound waves which get reflected/scattered when the
the wave hits something-analyzed by computer to generate
2D or 3D image
Magnetic Resonance uses magnets
Imaging (MRI)
Positron emission uses radioactive labeled substance
tomography (PET)
Anatomic Position subject is:
standing erect facing forward upper
limbs hanging to the sides palms
face forward
Supine subject is laying on their back face upward
Prone subject is on their belly downward
toward the head end or upper part of a structure or the
body; above
Superior (cranial)
away from the head end or toward the lower part of a
structure of the body; below
Inferior (caudal)
toward or at the front of the body; in front of
Ventral (anterior)
, toward or at the back of the body;
behind
Dorsal (posterior)
toward or at the midline of the body; on
the inner side of
Medial
away from the midline of the body; on
the outer side of
Lateral
between a more medial and a more
lateral structure
Intermediate
closer to the origin of the body part or
the point of attachment of a limb to the
Proximal body trunk
farther from the origin of a body part or
the point of attachment of a limb to the
Distal body trunk
Superficial (external)
toward or at the body surface
away from the body surface; more
internal
Deep (internal)
