Surface Anatomy - ---ASNWERS----The anatomical specialty that refers to the study of general
form and superficial anatomical markings.
Regional Anatomy - ---ASNWERS----The study of all of the superficial and internal features in a
specific area of the body.
Systemic Anatomy - ---ASNWERS----The study of the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
Embryology - ---ASNWERS----The study of the early processes during the first two months of
development from conception.
Radiography - ---ASNWERS----The study of structures through specialized imaging techniques,
such as ultrasounds or x-rays.
Gross Anatomical Specialties - ---ASNWERS----Includes radiographic and surgical anatomy.
Clinical Anatomy - ---ASNWERS----The study of anatomical features that may undergo
recognizable pathological changes during illness.
,Cross-sectional Anatomy - ---ASNWERS----A new subspecialty of gross anatomy as new
advances, such as computed tomography, have emerged.
Homeostatic Conditions - ---ASNWERS----Disease is the failure to maintain homeostatic
conditions.
Highest Level of Organization - ---ASNWERS----The highest level of organization is organs.
Pathology - ---ASNWERS----The study of disease.
Levels of Complexity - ---ASNWERS----The correct arrangement of items from highest to lowest
level of complexity is organism, organ system, tissue, cellular, chemical or molecular.
Basic Functions of Living Humans - ---ASNWERS----Include excretion, metabolism, growth and
differentiation, and movement.
Responsiveness - ---ASNWERS----The vital ability of an organism to take certain actions when
changes occur in its immediate environment.
Metabolism - ---ASNWERS----Refers to all the chemical operations under way in the body.
Excretion - ---ASNWERS----Involves elimination of unnecessary or potentially harmful materials
metabolic waste from the body.
Growth and Differentiation - ---ASNWERS----Often include specialization of individual cells,
increase in cell size, increase in cell numbers, and changes in form and function.
Anatomy - ---ASNWERS----The discipline of anatomy is important to understand the link
between human structure and function.
,Anatomical Information - ---ASNWERS----It describes external and internal structures of the
body and considers probable function.
Histology - ---ASNWERS----The branch of science that studies groups of specialized cells and how
they work together.
Cytology - ---ASNWERS----The analysis of the smallest units of life.
skeletal system - ---ASNWERS----Support, protection of soft tissues, mineral storage, and blood
cell formation.
nervous system - ---ASNWERS----Directing immediate responses to stimuli, usually by
coordinating the activities of other organ systems.
integumentary system - ---ASNWERS----The major functions are temperature control and
protection of the body from external environmental hazards.
blood cell production - ---ASNWERS----The primary site is within the skeletal system.
urinary system - ---ASNWERS----Components include ureters and kidneys.
organ systems - ---ASNWERS----Anatomical units with related functions, formed by two or more
organs, often large enough to be studied without magnification, interdependent on each other.
thymus - ---ASNWERS----The primary function is to control the development and maintenance
of one class of lymphocytes.
, kidneys - ---ASNWERS----Primary functions include forming and concentrating urine, regulating
blood pH and ion concentrations, and performing endocrine functions.
reproduction - ---ASNWERS----The process of creating subsequent generations, either unicellular
or multicellular.
differentiation - ---ASNWERS----The process of cellular specialization to perform particular
functions.
movement - ---ASNWERS----The property of living things to transport food, blood, or other
materials inside the body.
endocrine system - ---ASNWERS----Contains glandular structures that direct long-term changes
in the activities of other organ systems.
muscular system - ---ASNWERS----Allows for locomotion, provides support, and produces heat.
respiratory system - ---ASNWERS----Allows for gas exchange between the air and circulating
blood.
cardiovascular system - ---ASNWERS----Responsible for the internal transport of cells and
dissolved materials, including nutrients, wastes, and gases.
prone position - ---ASNWERS----The body is lying in anatomical position face down.
anatomical position - ---ASNWERS----A person stands with the legs together and the feet flat on
the floor, hands at the sides, and the palms face anteriorly.
