Chapter 1 Flashcards
What is anatomy?
The study of structure and form.
What is physiology?
The study of the function of body parts.
What are the two main types of anatomy?
Microscopic anatomy and gross anatomy.
What is microscopic anatomy?
Examines structures that cannot be observed by naked eye.
What is gross anatomy?
Investigates structures visible to the naked eye
What are the divisions of microscopic anatomy?
Cytology & Histology
What is cytology?
study of body cells and their internal
structure
What is histology?
study of tissues
What are the division of gross anatomy?
Systemic, Regional, Surface Comparative, and Embryology
What is systemic anatomy?
studies anatomy of each functional
body system
What is regional anatomy?
examines all of the structures in a
particular region of the body
What is surface anatomy?
focuses on superficial anatomic markings and internal body structures
What is comparative anatomy?
examines anatomical similarities
and differences in different species
What is embryology?
studies developmental changes from
conception to birth
What are two diagnostic anatomical procedures?
Pathologic anatomy & Radiographic anatomy
What is Pathologic anatomy?
examines macroscopic and microscopic anatomic changes resulting from disease
What is Radiographic anatomy?
investigates internal structures visualized by scanning procedures
What is cell physiology?
study of cell
What is special physiology?
study of specific organ
What is systemic physiology?
study of system
What is pathological physiology?
study of the effect of disease on cell, tissue, organ and system.
What are the basic functions of organisms?
Organization, Metabolism, Growth & Development, Responsiveness, Reproduction, and Regulation
Levels of Organization from simplest to most complex?
Chemical Level, Cellular Level, Tissue Level, Organ Level, Organ System Level, and Organismal Level
What are atoms
Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.
Name the 11 organ systems.
Integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive.
What is homeostasis?
The body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment.
What are the three components of homeostasis?
Receptor, control center, effector.
What is negative feedback?
Negative feedback is when the response is opposite to the stimulus
What is positive feedback?
Positive feedback is where the response is the same as the stimulus.
What is the smallest unit of life?
The cell.
