What is Anatomy?
The study of the structure of the body
What is Physiology
Defined as the study of the body’s function
Principle of Complementary Structure and Function
States that the body will build something specific to do a certain function. What a structure looks like is defined by its function and vise versa.
Gross Anatomical branches
- Surface
-Regional (deep)
-Systemic
-Developmental (conception)
-Clinical
Studies the genereal form and focus on specific areas
Microscopic
Cytology (cells)
Histology (tissues)
Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomical structure provide clues to its function (function is described via parts)
Pathology
The study of disease and disorders ; helps to explain function
Sign / Symptom
Signs can be measured (swelling, bruising, etc)
Symptoms are described by person (pain)
Necrospy
autosopy on
Visection
perform on animals
External Examminations
Inspection
Palpitation
Percussion
Auscultation
Manipulation
Inspection
To look at , cut
Palpitation
To feel, (ankle swelling)
Percussion
To tap to detect hollow or fluid
Auscultation
To listen with stethoscope ( hear sounds, breathing)
Manipulation
Range of Motion
Internal Examinations
X-rays (photographic digital image) , MRI( useful when tissue is surronded by bone) , ultrasound (sound waves)
Endoscope
Thin small tube inserted into the body to look, remove tissue etc
Ophthalmoscope
Look into eye
Scope types
Gasropscopy
Bronchoscopy
Endotoscope
Vaginal Spectulum
Protoscopy
Anthroscope
Laparoscopy
Electroencephaology
Brain activty
Electrocardiogram
heart
Angiography
blood

Life Functions
Humans are cellular so cells must be kept alive to function. Organ systems are to keep them alive. All cells need organ systems to meet their needs. Gas exchange and waste, nutrient exchange.
EX) Digestive system breaks down food and nutrients are delivered through the blood. Lungs exchange o2 with co2 and the o2 gets transported through the heart all throughout.
Anatomical Position
Body erect facing forward, palms facing upward
Directional terms
Used to describe ones structure in relation to another. Based off of this anatomical position.
