15
Q

Radiographic anatomy

A

Studies internal structures visualized by X-ray images or specialized scanning procedures

16
Q

Molecular biology

A

Study of biological molecules

17
Q

Tools for studying anatomy

A
  • anatomical terminology, observation, manipulation, palpitation, auscultation( listening to organ sounds w/ stethoscope), microscope, dissection, medical imaging techniques
18
Q

Physiology

A
  • concerns the function of the body ; how the body parts work and carry out their life
    Many subdivisions that consider the operation of specific organ systems.
19
Q

Renal physiology

A

Concerns with kidney function & urine production

20
Q

Neurophysiology

A

Explains workings of nervous system

21
Q

Cardiovascular physiology

A

Examines the operation of the heart and blood vessels

22
Q

The principle of complementarity of structure & function

A

Function reflects structure , what structure can do depends on its specific form

23
Q

Levels of structural organization

A

Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ , organ system, organismal

24
Chemical level
Atoms( tiny building blocks of matter) combine to form molecules the form organelles
25
Cellular level
All cells have some common function, but individual cells vary widely in size & shape , reflecting their unique function
26
Tissue level
Groups of similar cells that have common function
27
4 basic tissue types
Epithelium, muscle, connective tissue and nervous tissue
28
Homeostasis
- "unchanging" | - describes body's ability to maintain internal conditions even if external is changing
29
Variable
Factor or event being regulated | Ex. Body temperature
30
Receptor
Type of sensor that monitors the environment and responds to changes, called stimuli by sending information( input) to the second component , the control center
31
Control center
Determines the set point, which is the level or range at which a variable is to be maintained - it analyzes the input it receives and determines the appropriate response or course of action
32
Effector
Provides the means for the control center's response(output) to the stimulus
33
Afferent pathway
- approaches , Arrival | - input flows from the receptor to the control center
34
Efferent pathway
- exits | Information output then flows from the control center to the third component , the effector
35
Organ system level: 11 organ systems
S- keletal , L- ymphatic , I- ntegumentary, C- ardiovascular SLIC M-uscular, E- ndocrine, N- ervous MEN R-respiratory, R- eproductive, E- xcretory, D-igestive RRED SLIC MEN RRED
36
8 things needed to maintain life and which system related
1. Maintaing boundaries- integumentary sys. 2. Movement- skeletal & muscular 3. Responsiveness( irritability) - nervous sys. 4. Digestion- digestive 5. Metabolism -endocrine 6. Excretion- digestive, urinary, respiratory 7. Reproduction- reproductive 8. Growth-
