Intro to Anatomy Flashcards
ANATOMY
-study of external + internal structures of the body -study of relationship between body parts
PHYSIOLOGY
study of how the body functions +mechanisms
MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY
study of structures that CAN’T be seen w/o magnification
2 types of Microscopic Anatomy
1 CYTOLOGY - study of cells 2 HISTOLOGY - study of tissues
GROSS ANATOMY
*macroscopic study of structures that CAN be seen w/o magnification
3 types of GROSS ANATOMY
1 SURFACE ANATOMY 2 REGIONAL ANATOMY 3 SYSTEMIC ANATOMY
SURFACE ANATOMY
studies superficial anatomical markings
REGIONAL ANATOMY
study of all structures in a specific area of the body
SYSTEMIC ANATOMY
study of the organ systems of the body
6 other types of ANATOMY
1 DEVELOPMENTAL (embryology) 2 COMPARATIVE (considers diff type of animals) 3 CLINICAL (focus on pathological changes during illness) 4 SURGICAL (anatomical landmarks important for surgery) 5 RADIOGRAPHIC (studies structures w use of xrays or ultrasound) 6 CROSS SECTIONAL (use of radiographic technique like CT or MRI scans)
Level of Organization (from simple to complex)
1 Chemical/Molecular 2 Cellular 3 Tissue 4 Organ 5 Organ System 6 Organism
4 most common Elements in human body
Hydrogen 62% Oxygen 26% Carbon 10% Nitrogen 1.5%
5 major classes of Compounds
Water Carb Proteins Lipids Nucleic Acid
