Anaphy
The study of the functions of living organisms and their parts.
Physiology
Study of diseases
Pathology
Study of underlying physiological aspects of disease
Pathophysiology
The study of the structure and shape of the body and its relationship to one another
Anatomy
Two types of anatomy
Gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy
The study of large easily observable structures by naked eye such as the heart or bone
Gross anatomy or macroscopic anatomy
The study a very small structures where of a magnifying lens or microscope is needed
Microscopic anatomy
What are the four forms of gross anatomy
Surface anatomy
regional anatomy
systemic anatomy
developmental anatomy
This is the study of superficial marking
Surface anatomy
Study of specific area
Regional anatomy
Study of system
Systemic anatomy
What is developmental anatomy
Study the changes from conception to physical maturity or womb to tomb
The study of cells
Cytology
What is histology
The study of tissues
What is physiology
The study of how the body parts and its parts work or function
What is neurophysiology
Explains the working of the nervous system
Studies the function of the heart
Cardiac physiology
It is the study of the normal function of cell tissue organ systems and organisms
Physiology
How many levels of structural organization are there
Six
It is the simplest level of structural ladder
Chemical level
Represents the highest level of structural organization and has 11 organ systems
Organism level
What is tissue level
Groups of similar cells that have a common function
This is the smallest unit of living things and organizations of various chemicals
Cellular level
What is Organ level
It is the organization of different kinds of tissues
It is a group of organs that work together to accomplish a common purpose
Organ system
If uniquely defines a chemical element and consist of central nucleus surrounded by electrons
Atom
It has two or more atoms that forms the smallest identifiable unit
Molecule
