The Human
anatomy definition is the
study of body parts
ana means
up
tome means
to cut
physiology definition is
study of function/ activity of nature/ living matter
complementarity of structure and function is
how something is designed and is related to how it will function or work
small intestine structure includes
circular folds, villi, and microvilli
small intestine function is to
increase surface area
developmental anatomy is
structural changes that occur from conception to adulthood (life span)
embryology is
structural changes that occur un utero (fertilization to birth)
when is embryology
the first 8 weeks (embryo, then fetus)
gross anatomy is micro or macro scopic
both
macroscopic means seeing with the

regional, surface, and systemic
name two subdivisions of microscopic anatomy
cytology and histology
tomographic anatomy is
medical imaging
pathologic anatomy is the
study and diagnosis of disease
what are the 6 organizational levels of anatomy
- chemical level
- cellular level
- tissue level
- organ level
- organ system level (11)
- organism
how many organ systems are there
11
what is homeostasis
it is the maintenance of internal environment that keeps it relatively constant
how do you keep homeostasis within the normal range
by increasing and decreasing around set point
how is homeostasis regulated
by the feedback loops
what is negative feedback
see saw, stop response when response causes variable to return to set point
example of negative feedback loop
body temp regulation
