1.1 Intro to anatomy Flashcards
define Anatomy
the study of body structures
Physiology
The study of the function of structures
Macroscopic/gross anatomy
study with the unasissted eye
Systemic (subsection of gross anatomy)
apart of gross anatomy study of structures like organ systems
regional (subsect of gross anatomy)
apart of gross anatomy where you specialize in a particular organ
surface anatomy (subsection of gross anatomy)
study of visual landmarks like how you find your pulse through seeing the area of the wrist where it usually is.
Microscopic anatomy
study with an assisted eye
cytology (subsection of microscopic anatomy)
study of structures within cells
histology(subsection of microscopic anatomy)
study of tissues
Developmental anatomy
a seperate subsection of anatomy that studies organisms from conception till birth
Pathological anatomy
a seperate subsection of anatomy that studies the disease, and their individual structures on a microscopic level
radiographic anatomy
a separate subsection of anatomy that studies radiographic structures through imaging devices like MRI PET etc.
Chemical level
simplest level of organization on the organism pyramid. ATOMS and MOLECULES
biomolecules
in living organisms there are four groups of large molecules:carbs, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids
Cellular Level
smallest living organism is a cell and it is the basic unit of a living being
Tissue Level
cells that come together into a mass that forms a specific function
4 types of tissues
Epitherial
connective
muscular
nervous
Organ Level
When multiple lumps of functioning tissue form together to make a larger working unit
Organ System Level
Many organs working together to provide a similar outcome
Organ systems are found in obj. 1.1 notes and 9.1 1308 notes.
