Chapter 1 Flashcards
What is Anatomy?
investigates body structure. relationship b/w structure & function
Levels of Anatomy
- Developmental, Cytology, Histology, Gross Anatomy, Surface Anatomy, Anatomical Imaging
Developmental Anatomy
Structure changes from conception - adult
Cytology
microscope. Structure feature of cells
Histology
microscope. Tissues (cells & surrounding material)
Gross Anatomy
without micro. systematically or regionally.
Systematically: group of structures w/ 1+ common function (cardio,resp…)
Region: by area (head, abdomen, arm)
Surface Anatomy
looking @ exterior to visualize (sternum)
Anatomical Anatomy
Imaging. X-rays, MRI (pictures of internal structures), little risk for reward.
Anatomical Anomalies
physical characteristics that differ from normal
What is Physiology?
investigation of process/functions. Understand/predict body’s response to stimuli/ how body maintains condition with changing enviro. Systems over region.
Levels of Physiology
- Cell Physiology, Systemic Physiology,Pathology, Exercise Physiology
Cell Physiology
processes occurring in cells
Systemic Physiology
functions of organ systems (neurophysiology, cardiovascular physiology)
Pathology
disease, causes/development, functional changes
Exercise Physiology
function/structure from exercise
Levels of Organization of Body
Chemical, Cell, Tissue , Organ, Organ System, Organism
Level: Chemical
atoms combine to form molecules. Building blocks of matter. (water, sugar, lipid, protein)
Level: Cell
molecules form organelles (small structures inside cells). (nucleus, mitochondria)
Level: Tissue
made up of similar cells & surrounding material. Characteristics determine function.
4 types- epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
Level: Organ
different tissues combine to form organ. Perform 1+ common function. (urinary bladder etc)
Level: Organ system
organs make up system. viewed as unit.
Urinary: kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra
Level: Organism
organ systems…. organism= human
6 Characteristics of Life
Organization, Metabolism, Responsiveness, Growth, Development, Reproduction
Characteristic: Organization
refers to specific interrelationships/how interact to preform functions. Disruption - loss of function/death
Characteristic: Metabolism
refers to all chemical reactions in Organism . Energy/cell shape
Characteristic: Responsiveness
organism sense change and responds, internal & external
Characteristic: Growth
increase in size/ # of cells - growth (muscles)
