INTRODUCTION TO ANAPHY Flashcards
(20 cards)
IT IS THE STUDY OF THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE HUMAN BODY
ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
WHAT ARE THE BENIFITS IN LEARNING ANAPHY?
- PROVIDE THE BASIS FOR UNDERSTANDING DISEASE.
- PREPARES ALL OF US TO EVALUATE RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS ANDCRITICALLY REVIEW ADVERTISEMENTS TO SICK
- RATIONALLY DISCUSS THE HUMAN BODY WITH HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND NON PROFFESSIONALS
IT IS THE SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINE THAT INVESTIGATES THE STRUSTURE OF THE BODY AND EXAMINES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STRUCTURE OF A BODY PART AND ITS FUNCTTION.
ANATOMY
WHAT ARE THE TWO APPROACHES OF ANATOMY?
- SYSTEMATIC ANATOMY - THE STUDY OF BODY BY SYSTEMS (ISM LDR NECUR)
- REGIONAL ANATOMY - STUDY PF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE BODY BY AREAS ( HEAD, ABDOMEN, ARM)
ANATOMY COMES FROM A GREEK ROOT THAT MEANS ?
TO CUT APART
WHAT ARE THE TWO AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION IN ANATOMYY?
- GROSS ANATOMY/ MACROSCOPIC ANATOMY- STUDY OF LARGE STRUCTURES OF THE BODY WHICH ARE VISIBLE WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION
- MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY- DTUDY OF STRUCTURES THAT CAN BE OBSERVED ONLY WITH THE USE OF A MICROSCOPE (CYTOLOGY, HISTOLOGY)
It is the scientific discipline that deals with the processes or functions of living things
PHYSIOLOGY
What are the major goals of Physiology?
- To understand and predict the body’s responses to stimuli.
- To understand how the body maintains conditions regardless of a continually changing environment.
What are the six structural levels of Organization of the body?
- Chemical
- Cells
- Tissue
- Organ
- Organ System
- Organism
It is the level of organization that involves interactions among atoms and their combination into molecules.
chemical level
these are the smallest unit of pure substance and made up of subatomic particles such as the proton, neutron, and electron.
Atom
What do you call to one or more unique pure substances?
Elements
these are the basic living units of all plants and animals
Cells
If group of atoms form molecules, a group of molecules can form an?
Organelles
these are the chemical blocks of all body structures
molecules
It is a group of similar cells and they work together to perform a specific function
Tisuue
What are the four types of tissue?
- Epithelial (Epithelium) - tissues that covers or lines the body organs
- Muscle Tissue- Enables the movement of the body as well as internal structure
- Connective Tissue- It connects supports and fills out body structure
- Nervous Tissue- it is confined to nervous system and helps the body parts to work in harmony which provides fast and efficient mean of communication and control
It is composed of two or more tissue types that together perform one or more common functions
ORGAN
a group of organs classified as a unit because of a common function or set of functions
Organ System
Any living thing that is composed of one cell (Bacterium) or trillion of cells (human)
Organism
