1.1. Anatomy and Physiology defined Flashcards
Embryology
thye first eight weeks of development
Development biology
the complete development of an individual from fertilisation to death
cell biology
cellular structure and function
histology
microscope structure of tissues
gross anatomy
structures that can be examined without a microscope
systematic anatomy
structure of specific system of the body such as the nervous system
regional anatomy
specific regions of the body e.g. head
surface anatomy
surface marking of the body to understand the internal anatomy
imaging anatomy
internal body structures that can be visualised with technique.
pathologic anatomy
structural changes associated with diseases
molecular physiology
functions of individual molecules such as protein and DNA
neurophysiology
nerve cell function
endocrinology
hormones and how they affect body function
cardiovascular physiology
functions of the heart and blood vessels
immunology
the body defences against diseases
respiratory physiology
functions of the air passageway and lungs
renal physiology
kidney function
exercise physiology
changes in cells and organs due to exercise
Skin
Protects body, regulates body temperature, detects sensation, waste removal
bones and joints
supports and protect the body.
Muscular systems
heat and body movements
nervous sytems
generates action potentials to regulate body activities
endocrine systems
regulates the body system. via hormones
cardiovascular system
carries nutrients to the body cell and removes waste maintains homeostasis
lymphatic systems
returns protiens and fluids back to the blood.
respiratory systems
transfers oxygen to cells and carbon dioxide away
