THE HUMAN ORGANISM Flashcards
Study of the structure of the human body
Anatomy
Scientific discipline that investigate’s the body’s structure
Anatomy
Morphology of the structure
Anatomy
Studies interrelationship of organs to one another
Anatomy
Study of the function of the human body
Physiology
Scientific investigation of the processes or functions of living things
Physiology
All about functions, processes, changes that is happening in the body
Physiology
Considers changes from conception to 8th week development
Embryology
Studies the structural changes that occur between conception and adulthood
Development anatomy
Studies the progress and sequence of development of the structure of the body
Developmental anatomy
Examines the structural features of cells using a microscope
Cytology
Examines tissues which are composed of cells and the materials surrounding them
Histology
Study of structure without the aid of microscope
Gross anatomy
Observe and look the appearance of the structure of the human body
Gross anatomy
Involves looking at the exterior of the body
Surface anatomy
Everything that touch, feel, and palpate the structure of the body
Surface anatomy
Uses radiographs, ultrasound, MRI, and other technologies
Anatomical imaging or image anatomy
Studies the disease
Pathology
Examines the processes occuring in cells
Cell physiology
Considers the functions of organ systems
Systemic physiology
Focuses on the nervous system
Neurophysiology
Deals with the heart and blood vessels.
Cardiovascular physiology
What are the six structural levels
Chemical, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism
Smallest structural level
Chemical level
The basic structural and functional
units of organisms, such as plants and
animals
Cell
The small structures that
make up some cells
Organelle
A group of similar cells and
the materials surrounding them
Tissue
Non-striated and
involuntary.
Smooth muscle
the study of the microscopic
structure of tissues
histology
Four types of tissues
Epithelial, Connective,
Muscular, Nervous
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
is any living thing considered
as a whole, whether composed of one cell, such as a bacterium, or trillions of cells, such as human.
Organism
Smaller than atoms; electrically charge that interact with one another to produce reactions.
Subatomic particles
Elements
Atoms
Group of atoms
Molecules
Molecule that contains 2-3 elements.
Micromolecule
Carbohydrates, Protein, Nucleic Acids and Lipids
Macromolecules
small organ capable of carrying out specific metabolic functions
organelle
Functional unit of the body
Cell
Capable of carrying out metabolic functions alone
Cell
Made up of organelles
Cell
Multicellular or combination of 1 or more cells
Tissue
Made up of tissues
Organ
More complex function
Organ system
