Chapter 1 Flashcards
Define anatomy
The study of form
Four examples of how inspection is the basis of the field of anatomy
Similarities in other species
Cadavers
Living humans including surgery
Use of imaging technology
Cytology
Individualized cells
Need microscope
Histology
Different tissue layers
Need a microscope
Define physiology
Study of function
What is the basis for physiology?
Experimentation
What type of physiology is the use of animal experimentation to understand human physiology?
Comparative
What is using a stethoscope scope to hear internal sounds called?
Auscultation
What is using the hands to inspect the body called?
Palpation
Define dissection
Cutting into structures of a human cadaver or animal to inspect 3-D relationships
Use of radiation detection to create an image is called what?
Radiology
The difference between a plain radiograph and CT image
Plain radiograph – 2D
CT - 3D
Difference between a PET scan image and an MRI image
PET - radioactive substance is injected, metabolism differences detected
MRI - magnet is used, soft tissues are imaged best
Father of medicine, ethics code for physicians
Hippocrates
First to publish anatomy and physiology works, comparative physiology
Aristotle
Physician to Roman gladiators, wrote books based on observations of wounds in living athletes
Claudius Galen
Jewish physician, wrote 10 medical books
Moses Ben Maimon
Muslim, studied Galen and Aristotle, wrote the canon of medicine
Avicenna
Professor, cadaver dissection to correct texts, wrote first atlas of anatomy
Andreas Vesalius
Physiology, motion of the heart
William Harvey
Recognized that blood must circulate continuously from the heart and then back to the heart
Michael Servetus
Optics and microscope’s, reviewed and shared observations of various biological samples
Robert Hooke & Antony Van Leeuwenhoek
Used improved microscope‘s to determine that all living organisms are made of cells
Determined that the cell was the smallest living unit of an organism
Matthias Schleiden & Theodor Schwann
Difference between the independent and dependent variables on a graph
Independent - what the experimenter manipulates (x-axis)
Dependent- The change that is measured (y-axis)
