Surface anatomy
Anatomical Imaging
Uses technology to create pictures of internal structures.

Surface anatomy
Two types of Physiology
Systemic and Cellular Physiology
It studies the processes and functions of each part/system.
Physiology
Talks about the function of the body organ–systems.
Systemic Physiology
Studies the processes inside cells.
Cellular Physiology
These two are the __________

- Examine body’s maintenance of stable internal condition
Importance of physiology
The structural and functional organization of the body
- Chemical
- Cellular/Cell
- Tissue
- Organ
- Organ System
- Organism
Basic unit of life
Cellular
