Answer 5

systemic anatomy & regional anatomy

Question 6

the study of the body by systems, such as the cardiovascular, nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems.

Answer 6

Systemic anatomy

Regional anatomy

Question 8

Anatomists have two general ways to examine the internal structures of a living person:

• provide important information for diagnosing disease.

Answer 8

surface anatomy & anatomical imaging

Question 9

the study of external features, such as bony projections, which serve as landmarks for locating deeper structures

Answer 9

Surface anatomy

Question 10

involves the use of x-rays, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and other technologies to create pictures of internal structures, such as when determining if a bone is broken or a ligament is torn.

Answer 10

Anatomical imaging

Question 11

The major goals for studying physiology are

Answer 11

(1) to understand and predict the body’s responses
to stimuli
(2) to understand how the body maintains internal conditions within a narrow range of values in the presence of continually changing internal and external environments.

Question 12

the study of a specific organism, the human, whereas

“cellular physiology” and “systemic physiology” are subdivisions that emphasize specific organizational levels.

Answer 12

Human physiology

Question 13

The body can be studied at six structural levels:

Answer 13

chemical, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism

Question 14

• The structural and functional characteristics of all organisms are determined by their chemical makeup
• level of organization involves how atoms, such as hydrogen and carbon, interact and combine into molecules.
