Specialize types of Anatomy
clinical anatomy
surgical anatomy
Radiographic anatomy
cross sectional anatomy
clinical anatomy
focus on pathological changes during illness
surgical anatomy
study anatomical landmarks important for surgical procedures.
perform on intact body to visualize and study anatomical structures. eg. x-rays, ultrasound, scans
radiographic anatomy
advance in raddiographic anatomy, such as computerized tomography. e.g. radiographic CT scan and spiral CT scans
cross-section anatomy
Level of organization of cells
Atom>molecules>macromolecule>organelles>cells>tissue>organs>organism>system
What is the cell theory
smallest units of life
cells give rise to cells
Chromatin
threadlike and found in non-dividing cells.
Chromosome and chromatids
found in dividing cells
peroxisomes
found in the liver and breaks hydrogen peroxide to water
Cytoskeleton are
microtubules and microfilament
Study of structures that can not be seen without magnification.
