Macroscopic
Gross Anatomy
Gross Anatomy
is the study of structure large enough to be seen with the naked eye.
EX. heart, lungs and kidneys.
Regional Anatomy
the study of anatomy based on regions or divisions of the body and
emphasizing the relations between various structures (muscles and
nerves and arteries etc.) in that region
Microscopic Anatomy
Deals with structures too small to be seen with the naked eye.
Cytology
The study of individual cells, the branch of biology that studies the
structure and function of cells
Embryology
a subdivision of developmental anatomy, concerns developmental
changes that occur before birth
Histology
The study of tissues,the branch of biology that studies the
microscopic structure of animal or plant tissues
Cervical
relating to or associated with the neck
Intergumentary system
Major organs: skin, hair, sweat glands, nails, Functions: protects
against environmental hazards; helps regulate body temperature;
provide sensory information
Skeleton system
an internal or external framework of bone, cartilage, or other rigid
material supporting or containing the body of an animal or plant
Muscular system
The bodily system that is composed of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac
muscle tissue and functions in movement of the body or of materials
through the body, maintenance of posture, and heat production.
Nervous system
the body's speedy, electrochemical communication system, consisting
of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems
Lymphatic system
, system made of lymph nodes, blood vessels
Respiratory system
made of air way and lungs, The organ system responsible for the
intake of oxygen and diffusion of that gas into the blood and the
elimination of carbon dioxide from the body.
Urinary system
consisting of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, removes
wastes from the blood and helps to maintain water and electrolyte
balance
Metabolism
includes all chemical reactions that occur in the body, two functions
(catabolism and anabolism)
Catabolism
provide energy by breaking down complex molecules into simple
molecules. (e.g) Protein-> amino acid
Anabolism
uses the energy from catabolism to build up the bodys structural and
functions component. aslo called biosynthesis
Anterior
Toward the front
Ventral
same as Anterior (toward the front)
Posterior
Toward the Back
Dorsal
same as Posterior (toward the back)
Anatomical Postion
body erect, feet slightly apart, palms facing forward
medial
Toward the midline
Lateral
Away from the midline
Supine
To recline one's back: lie on back
Prone
To recline one's front: lie on stomach
Homeostasis
metabolic equilibrium actively maintained by several complex
biological mechanisms that operate via the autonomic nervous system
to offset disrupting changes
Ribosomes
that are sites of protein synthesis. packing of lipids and protein
Lysosomes
