1. Pathologic
2. Microspic
3. Gross
4. Radiographic

Question 5

Microscopic

Answer 5

Examines structures that can not be seen by the naked eye

Question 6

2 types of Microscopic anatomy

Answer 6

Cytology and Histology

Question 7

Cytology

Answer 7

1 of 2 types of Microscopic anatomy. AKA Cellular Anatomy, it is the study of body cells and their internal structure

Question 8

Histology

Answer 8

1 of 2 types of Microscopic anatomy. Study of body tissues. (H(T)IS(SUES)TOLOGY)

Question 9

Gross Anatomy

Answer 9

AKA Macroscopic anatomy. It examines the structure/relationships of body parts that are visible to the naked eye. Ex. Intestines, stomach, brain, kidney, etc.

Question 10

5 types of gross anatomy

Answer 10

Systematic, Regional, Surface, and Comparative anatomy as well as Embryology.

Question 11

Systematic Anatomy

Answer 11

1 of 5 types of Gross anatomy. It studies the anatomy of body structures as a whole. For example, with the urinary system, it will study ALL parts of the system. Kidneys, Ureters/Urethra, Bladder. Basically, it studies the anatomy of an entire system, getting its name of SYSTEMatic anatomy.

Question 12

Regional Anatomy

Answer 12

1 of 5 types of Gross anatomy. As the name implies, it examines all the structures in a REGION as a whole. For example, Studying the Axillary region, regional anatomy would look at the: Axillary artery and vein, nerves, axillary lymph nodes, musculature, connective tissue, and skin.

Question 13

Surface anatomy

Answer 13

1 of 5 types of Gross anatomy. Superficial anatomic markings and the internal body structures that relate to the skin covering them. For example, using surface features to identify/locate important landmarks. ie pulse locations to perform CPR

Question 14

Comparative Anatomy

Answer 14

1 of 5 types of Gross anatomy. Examines the similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species. For example, dog vs. human limbs

Question 15

Embryology

Answer 15

1 of 5 types of Gross anatomy. The study of developmental changes occurring from conception to birth

Question 16

Pathologic Anatomy

Answer 16

All anatomic changes resulting from disease (both micro/macroscopic)

Question 17

Radiographic anatomy

Answer 17

Studies the relationships among internal structures that may be visualized by specific scanning procedures. For example, sonography, MRI, and X-ray.

Question 18

5 types of Physiologies

Answer 18

Cardiovascular, Neurophysiology, Reproductive, Pathophysiology, and Respiratory Physiology.

Question 19

Cardiovascular Physiology

Answer 19

1 of 5 types of Physiology. Examines the functioning of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. For example: How the heart pumps, the parameters for healthy blood pressure, details of the cellular exchange mechanisms, etc.

Question 20

Neurophysiology

Answer 20

1 of 5 types of Physiology. Examines how nerve impulses are propagated throughout the nervous system.

Question 21

Respiratory Physiology

Answer 21

1 of 5 types of Physiology. Studies how respiratory gases are transferred by gas exchange between lungs and blood vessels.

Question 22

Reproductive Physiology

Answer 22

1 of 5 types of Physiology. Explores the regulation of reproductive hormones and how that drives the reproductive cycle and influences sex cell production and maturation.

Question 23

Pathophysiology

Answer 23

1 of 5 types of Physiology. Explores the relationship between the functioning of an organ system and disease/injury to that organ system.
