Objective 1 Flashcards
4 branches of anatomy
Gross micro developmental systemic comparative
Gross Anatomy Def: ex: can be seen during? what type features?
Study of large easily seen structures of organism. ex: dissection external features(shapes/divisions)
Microscopic Anatomy
Def:
2 types of microscopes?
2 branches?
use of microscopes to help see small details of organ parts.
- ultrawave/ electron microscopes
- Cytology, Histology
Histology?
tissues, organs, of entire body.
Cytology?
structure, functions, growth of cells from different parts of body.
Developmental Anatomy
EX:
growth of organism.
ex: Embryology(egg->birth)
Comparative Anatomy
Evolution is an ex why?
Humans vs. animals
Anatomicalsimilarities between organisms -> organisms evolved from a common ancestor.
Systematic Anatomy
structure of organs/parts that make an organ system
3 Examples Systemic Anatomy.
“3 systems and what parts it has in it”
- Derm: skin, hair, nails = integumentary system
- Endocrinology: Hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal body, ovaries, testes = endocrine/hormonal system
- Neurology: brainandspinal = Nervous system.
Anterior/Ventral
def:
ex: (2)
def: front, in front of
ex:
1. Knees -> anterior surface of body.
2. Ventral hernia may protrude from front abdomen.
Posterior/Dorsal?
ex:
back, in back of
ex: shoulder blades= posterior surface of body
Cephalic
head end of body, skull
Caudal:
full length of?
tail end of body, full length of the spine and coccyx.

2 anatomical words that describe towards and away from MIDLINE
Medial; towards midline
Later: away from midline, towards the sides.
2 anatomical words that describe towards/away from point of attachment?
Proximal: towards attachment
Distal: away from attachment
