The study of the structure of living organisms.

Question 2

What does Anatomy study?

Answer 2

The study of the form and gross structure of the various parts of the human body ( dissection and seperation of parts )

Question 3

What are the two types of anatomy?

Answer 3

Microscopic ( fine )
&
Macroscopic ( gross )

Question 4

What is microscopic anatomy?

Answer 4

The study of things that are too small to see with the naked eye and can only be observed using a microscope

Question 5

Give an example of microscopic ( fine) anatomy?

Answer 5

Study of Blood cells ( cytology ) 
Tissue samples ( histology )

Question 6

What is macroscopic anatomy?

Answer 6

The study of things that can be seen with the naked eye

Question 7

Give an example of macroscopic ( gross ) anatomy?

Answer 7

• using dissection when studying internal structures
• x ray
• ultrasound
• mri

Study of various bones

Question 8

What is physiology?

Answer 8

The study of the function and vital processes of the body.

Question 9

What is the name of someone who study’s anatomy?

Answer 9

Anatomist

Question 10

Give an example of physiological processes?

Answer 10

• Muscle contraction

* sense of smell, taste and breathing!

Question 11

What is the difference between anatomy and physiology?

Answer 11

Anatomy focuses on the structure and how something is put together and physiology is the study of how those different structures work together to make the body function as a whole

Question 12

Using red blood cells as an example explain the anatomy and physiology of them!

Answer 12

The anatomy would be the study of the structure of the rbc and physiology would be the study of how rbc carry viral oxygen throughout the body

Question 13

What is morphology?

Answer 13

*The study of the structure and form of humans, animals and plants

Question 14

Give an example of morphology and explain?

Answer 14

Sickle cell anemia

Shows the morphology ( change in shape) ( sickle cell ) of RBC which affects its ability to carry oxygen around the body due to its deformed shape the sickle cell looses its ability to bend and pass through the small blood vessels causing blockages to blood flow

Question 15

What is the study of disease called?

Answer 15

Pathology

Question 16

What does anatomy mean in the Greek language?

Answer 16

To cut apart

Question 17

What is disease?

Answer 17

Any change in the normal structure or function of the body

Question 18

What is a word root?

Answer 18

Where in the body or what body part or vessel etc!

Question 19

What is a suffix?

Answer 19

It’s placed after the word root.

Tells you what it is or what’s being done

Question 20

What is a prefix?

Answer 20

Found before the word root

The problem ie around, small , above normal , under , below , without etc

Question 21

Do all word roots have to have a prefix?

Answer 21

No sometimes just a word root and a suffix

Question 22

What does a metabolism?

Answer 22

Process of using oxygen and glucose to produce energy for cells.

Produces by products like carbon dioxide and other waste products

Question 23

What is anabolism?

Answer 23

Process which which simpler compounds are built up and used to manufacture materials for growth, repair and reproduction such as amino acids to form complex proteins

Question 24

What is catabolism?

Answer 24

Process which complex substances are broken down into simpler substances eg breakdown of food into simpler chemical building blocks for energy use.

Question 25

What is homeostasis?

Answer 25

Is the maintenance of a stable internal environment.

Question 26

What can cause a homeostatic inbalance?

Answer 26

Internal ( ageing , disease, glucose, genetics, deficiency’s )

External ( toxins , drug and alcohol , temperature outside)

Question 27

What are the three main components of homeostatic control?

Answer 27

Receptors, control centre and effector

Question 28

What does the receptor do?

Answer 28

Respond to a stimulus and detects change

Question 29

What does the control centre do?

Answer 29

Analyses the information , determs set point and appropriate response
