Q

It is an approach or a method in anatomy which is in particular distinguished by
doing specific and targeted experiments involving single anatomical structures; it is carried out in order to
collect more information about the respective anatomical structure’s function.

Q

It is the study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species. It is closely related to evolutionary biology and phylogeny (the evolution of species).

A

Comparative Anatomy

17
Q

This is a branch of anthropology concerned with the origin, evolution, and diversity of
people.

A

Physical Anthropology

18
Q

_______ is a biological process whereby a parent passes certain genes onto their children or offspring.

  6. Comparative Physiology
20
Q

This is the study of the functions of specific organs. For example,
renal physiology is the study of kidney function.

A

Systemic Physiology

21
Q

It is a branch of biology that covers the study of immune systems in all organisms.

A

Immunology

22
Q

A study of how a drug affects a biological system and how the body responds to the drug. The discipline encompasses the sources, chemical properties, biological effects and therapeutic uses of drugs.

A

Pharmacology

23
Q

It is the study of the causes and effects of disease or injury.

A

Pathology

24
Q

It is the biological study of the activities that take place in a cell to keep it
alive. The term physiology refers to normal functions in a living organism. Animal cells, plant cells
and microorganism cells show similarities in their functions even though they vary in structure

A

Cellular Physiology

25
Q

It is a subdiscipline of physiology that studies and exploits the diversity of functional characteristics of various kinds of organisms. It is closely related to
evolutionary physiology and environmental physiology.

A

Comparative Physiology

26
Q

_______ is the medical discipline that uses medical imaging to diagnose and treat diseases within the bodies of animals, including humans.

A

Radiology

27
Q

This means “same origin different function.”

A

Homology

28
Q

This means “same function different origin.”

A

Analogy
