Introduction to AnaPhy Flashcards
It is the study of structure and shape of the body and its parts and relationships to one another.
Anatomy
It is the study of how the body and its parts work or function.
Physiology
It is the study of anatomy at the visible or macroscopic level.
Gross Anatomy
It is a branch of anatomy that relies on the use of microscopes to examine the smallest structures of the body.
Microscopic Level
It is the level where atoms are combined to form molecules like water, sugar and proteins.
Chemical Level
It is the level where cells are made up of molecules which are the smallest unit of living things and it may vary in size, shape and function depending on the body.
Cellular Level
It is the level that has tissues consist of similar types of cells.
Tissue Level
It is the level where structure formed by two or more tissue.
Organ Level
It is the level that consists of different organs that work together closely.
Organ System Level
It is the level where human organisms are made up of many organ systems.
Organism Level
- Forms the external body covering
- Protects deeper tissue from injury
- Synthesizes vitamin D
- Location of cutaneous receptors and sweat and oil glands
Integumentary System
- Protects and supports body organs
- Provides a framework the muscles use to cause movement
- Blood cells are formed within bones; stores minerals
Skeletal System
- Produces body movement
- Maintains posture
- Produces body heat
- Consists of muscle attached to the skeleton by tendons
- Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion and facial expression
Muscular System
- Detects sensation and controls movements, physiological processes and intellectual functions
- Sensory receptors can send message
Nervous System
- Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction and nutrient use by body cells
- Same with nervous because it controls body activities but this is more performing slow than nervous system
- It influences metabolism, growth, reproduction and many other functions
Endocrine System
