Human Anatomy Nightingale
Physiology ---ANSWER--- the study of body function
Morphology ---ANSWER--- the science of form.
Anatomy ---ANSWER--- -the study of the structure of the human body
-Also called morphology
- been around since 2300 years
_ related to physiology
Gross anatomy ---ANSWER--- is the study of body structures that can be examined by
the naked eye—the bones, lungs, and muscles,
- Important technique for studying GA is Dissection
Studies of gross anatomy can be approached in several different ways. ---ANSWER---
regional anatomy
Surface anatomy
Surface anatomy, ---ANSWER--- -the study of shapes and markings (called landmarks)
on the surface of the body that reveal the underlying organs.
-used to identify the muscles that bulge beneath the skin in weight lifters, and clinicians
use it to locate blood vessels for placing catheters, feeling pulses, and drawing blood.
,Regional anatomy ---ANSWER--- all structures in a single body region, such as the
abdomen or head, are examined as a group.
-many injuries and diseases involve specific body regions (sprained ankle, sore throat,
heart disease); furthermore, surgeons need extensive and detailed knowledge of each
body region.
Systemic anatomy, ---ANSWER--- by contrast, all the organs with related functions are
studied together.
Dissection ---ANSWER--- in which connective tissue is removed from between the body
organs so that the organs can be seen more clearly. Then the organs are cut open for
viewing.
Microscopic anatomy, ---ANSWER--- is the study of structures that are so small they
can be seen only with a microscope.These structures include cells and cell parts;
groups of cells, called tissues; and the microscopic details of the organs of the body
(stomach, spleen, and so on).
-A knowledge of microscopic anatomy is important because physiological and disease
processes occur at the cellular level.
Two branches of anatomy explore how body structures form, grow, and mature ---
ANSWER--- Developmental anatomy
Embryology
Developmental anatomy ---ANSWER--- Traces the structural changes that occur in the
body throughout the life span and the effects of aging.
, Embryology ---ANSWER--- is the study of how body structures form and develop before
birth.
-helps to explain birth defects,
which are anatomical abnormalities that occur during embryonic development and are
evident after birth.
Some specialized branches of anatomy are used primarily for medical diagnosis and
scientific research. ---ANSWER--- Pathological
Radiographic
Functional Morphology
Pathological ---ANSWER--- deals with the structural changes in cells, tissues, and
organs caused by disease.
Radiographic ---ANSWER--- is the study of internal body structures by means of X-ray
studies and other imaging techniques
Functional morphology ---ANSWER--- The function of an organism in realtion to its form
Levels of Structural Organization ---ANSWER--- Chemical Level
Cellular level
Tissue Level
Organ Level
Organ system Level
