What is anatomy? The study of body structures.
What is physiology? The study of body functions.
What does gross or macroscopic anatomy study? Large, visible structures.
What does regional anatomy focus on? All structures in a particular area of the body.
What is system anatomy? The study of one specific system, such as the cardiovascular system.
What is surface anatomy? Looks at internal structures as they relate to overlying skin.
What does microscopic anatomy include? Structures too small to be seen by the naked eye.
What is cytology? The microscopic study of cells.
What is histology? The microscopic study of tissues.
What is developmental anatomy? Studies anatomical and physiological development throughout life.
, What is the principle of complementarity of structure and Function always reflects structure; what a structure can do depends on its specific
function? form.
What are the six levels of organization in the body? Chemical level, cellular level, tissue level, organ level, system level, organismal
level.
How many organ systems are in the human body? Eleven organ systems.
What is homeostasis? A dynamic state of equilibrium in the body's internal environment.
What are the components of a feedback system? Receptor, Control Center, and Effector.
What does a receptor do in a feedback system? Detects stimulus and sends input to the Control Center.
What is the role of the Control Center? Determines set point and generates an output to the Effector.
What is the difference between negative and positive Negative feedback reverses a change, while positive feedback reinforces a change.
