Chapter 1 BIO Flashcards
Anatomy means…
The study of the structures
Physiology is…
The study of how all the structures come together to work and how they function together.
Gross anatomy
The whole thing
Could be the whole body or whole structure (arm)
Regional anatomy
an area, ex head neck and torso
Ex lower extremities
Systemic anatomy
The study of each SYSTEM and the structures involved in each and how they work
Surface anatomy
Everything you can see
Microscopic anatomy contains
Cytology
Histology
Cytology
Internal cell structures
Histology
Is the study of tissues composed of different cell types
Developmental anatomy
Anatomy as we grow and change child vs adult
Neurophysiology
the physiology of the nervous system
The study of how nervous system comes together and works
Renal physiology
The study of how the kidneys function
Cardiovascular physiology
The study of how the heart and blood vessels come together and work
Respiratory physiology
The study of how the 3 major parts of the respiratory system: the airway, the lungs, and the muscles of respiration work.
The airway, which includes the nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles, carries air between the lungs and the body’s exterior. The lungs…
Endocrine physiology
Endocrine physiology is the study of how the endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things works.
Muscle physiology
The study of how the muscles work
Gastrointestinal physiology
The study of how the digestive system works
Digestive system
Disgestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract—also called the digestive tract—and the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—which includes the rectum—and anus.
Reproductive physiology
The study of how the reproductive system works
Topics of physiology at the system level
A. Neurophysiology B. Renal C. Cardiovascular D. Respiratory E. Endocrine F. Muscle G. Gastrointestinal H. Reproductive
Topics of physiology at various organizational levels
A. Cellular Physiology
B. Animal physiology
C. Pathophysiology
Cellular physiology
Cell physiology (including cellular electrophysiology) is the biological study of the activities which take place in a cell to keep it alive.
Animal physiology
The study of how animals function
Pathophysiology
The study of how diseases work
