Chap 1 "MGH reading"

Question 1

Anatomy vs Physiology

Answer 1

A- study of Structure
P-study of Function

Question 2

Anatomy- Study of Form

Answer 2

Inspection-looking at the body’s appearance
Palpation- feeling a structure with the hands(taking pulse)
Auscultation- listening to natural sounds of body (heart, lungs)
Percussion-examiner taps on the body, feels for abnormal resistance.
Dissection-carefully cutting and separating tissues to reveal their relationship.

Question 3

Schools of Health Science Training use-

Answer 3

Training students dissecting “CADAVER”- a dead human body.
Many structures obtained from “COMPARATIVE ANATOMY”-the study of multiple species in order to examine similarities and differences + analyze evolutionary trends.
Exploratory surgery- opening the body and taking a look inside to see what was wrong and what could be done about it.

Question 4

medical imaging

Answer 4

methods of viewing the inside of the body without surgery. (Radiology)

Question 5

Gross Anatomy-

Answer 5

Structure that can be seen with the naked eye, whether by surface observation, radiology, or dissection.

Question 6

Histology (microscopic anatomy)

Answer 6

take tissue specimens, thinly splice and stain them and observe them under the microscope.

Question 7

Histopathology vs Cytology

Answer 7

Histopathology- microscopic examination of tissues for signs of disease.
Cytology- study of the structure and function of individual cells.

Question 8

Ultrastructure

Answer 8

refers to fine detail, down to the molecular level, revealed by the electron microscope.

Question 9

Physiology, structure- COMPARATIVE PHYSIOLOGY

Answer 9

study of how different species have solved problems of life such as water balance, respiration, and reproduction. It also is the basis for development of new drugs and medical procedures. Example- cardiac surgeon must learn animal surgery before practicing on humans.

Question 10

Aristotles philosophy

Answer 10

Galen- physicial to Roman gladiators, wrote the most influential medical textbooks pf the ancient era, for medical professors for centuries to follow.
