regional anatomy - (ANSWER)how structures work together in specific region of
body
systemic anatomy - (ANSWER)how structures work together in specific body
system
physiology - (ANSWER)chemistry/ physics of the body; how the structures of the
body work together
homeostasis - (ANSWER)maintenance of body's internal balance
How was anatomy studied in the past? - (ANSWER)Evaluating injuries and
cadavers.
What is the difference between anatomy and physiology? - (ANSWER)Anatomy is
the study of the body's structures and physiology is the study of how those

, What is form and function? How are they related? - (ANSWER)Form is the
composition of a body structure. Function is how that structure operates. They are

Cellular
Tissue
Organ
Organ System
Organism
cell - (ANSWER)smallest unit of living things
tissue - (ANSWER)similar cells that work together
organelle - (ANSWER)tiny structure that carries out functions in a cell; mini
organs for the cell
organ - (ANSWER)structure that has 2+ tissue types
organ system - (ANSWER)2+ organs that work together to maintain bodily
functions
organism - (ANSWER)being that can live independently and has cell structure
