Anatomy
Studies the function of the body and how the body parts work
Physiology
Requirements for Life (Survival Needs)
- Nutrients
- Oxygen
- Water
- Normal Body Temperature
- Atmospheric Pressure
Study of large body structure
Gross Anatomy
All structures in particular region
Regional Anatomy
Body structures examined system by system
Systemic Anatomy
Study of internal structures of the body and their relation to the skin surface
Surface Anatomy
Engages with small structures visible to the naked eyes
Microscopic Anatomy
Traces structural changes that occur throughout the life span
Developmental Anatomy
Studies all functions of the kidney
Renal Physiology
Study of heart and blood vessels
Cardiovascular Physiology
Study of functions of the kidney
Neurophysiology
Metabolic pathways break down molecules for energy release or anabolic reactions.
Catabolism
Metabolic pathways constructing molecules from smaller units, requiring energy, also called endergonic process
Anabolism
Body’s capacity to uphold consistent internal conditions.
Homeostasis
The body’s incapacity to regain a stable and functional internal environment.
Homeostatic Imbalance
The process of breaking down or constructing larger molecules.
Metabolism
Basic unit of the body
Cell
Selective permeable barrier
Plasma Membrane
Interior of the cell with organelle-filled intercellular fluid.
Cytoplasm
