anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER - The study of structure
Subdivisions ex's - CORRECT ANSWER - - Gross or macroscopic (e.g., regional,
systemic, and surface anatomy)
- Microscopic (e.g., cytology and histology)
- Developmental (e.g., embryology)
to study anatomy and physiology you need - CORRECT ANSWER - Mastery of
anatomical terminology- Observation- Manipulation- Palpation- Auscultation
Physiology- - CORRECT ANSWER - Study of the function of the body
- Subdivisions based on organ systems (e.g., renal or cardiovascular physiology)
, - Often focuses on cellular and molecular level (Body's abilities depend on chemical reactions in
individual cells)
To study physiology - CORRECT ANSWER - - Ability to focus at many levels (from
systemic to cellular and molecular)
- Study of basic physical principles (e.g., electrical currents, pressure, and movement)
- Study of basic chemical principles
Anatomy and physiology are inseparable (together) - CORRECT ANSWER - - Function
always reflects structure
- What a structure can do depends on its specific form

Levels of Structural Organization - CORRECT ANSWER - Chemical- Atoms and
molecules and organelles
Cellular- Cells
Tissue- Groups of similar cells
Organ- Contains two or more types of tissues
Organ System- Organs that work closely together
Organismal- All organ systems
Cell - CORRECT ANSWER - Cell - smallest living unit in the human body
