A

The study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface

25

A

The study of structural changes caused by disease.

30
Q

What is radio graphic anatomy?

A

Studies internal structures as visualized by an imaging machine.

31
Q

Principle of complementary of structure and function

A

What a structure can do depends on it’s specific form

32
Q

List the functional characteristics necessary to maintain life.

A

34
Q

Maintaining boundaries

A

A barrier or covering protecting an organism from its external environment. Boundaries protect the organisms internal organs from drying out, bacteria, heat sunlight and chemicals.

35
Q

Movement

A

Organisms must propel themselves delve to one place to another, manipulate their environment. Substances in the body must move to one place to another. Muscles have to contract.

36
Q

Negative feed back

A

Stops effectors from doing too much

Ex. Shivering
