|
Anatomy is the study of the structure of body parts & their relationship to one another.
|
physical
|
|
|
Define Gross/Microscopic Anatomy
|
The study of large body structures visible to the naked eye. (ex. heart, lungs, kidneys)
|
Big picture
|
|
|
Define Regional Anatomy
|
In regional anatomy, all the structures in a particular region are examined at the same time. (one approach of gross anatomy)
|
Same Area
|
|
|
Define Systemic Anatomy
|
When anatomy is studied system by system (ex. cardiovascular)
|
process
|
|

|
|
Define Microscopic Anatomy
|
When structures are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
|
need special glasses

|
The study of cells
|
|
|
|
Define Histology
|
The study of tissues
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Developmental Physiology
|
Traces structural changes that occur in the body throughout life.
|
|
|
|
Explain the Principle of Complementarity of Structure and Function
|
Think FORM & FUNCTION - "Function always reflects structure"
|
|
|
|
Bones...
|
Bones support & protect body organs
|
|
|
|
Blood...
|
Blood flows in one direction, because the heart has valves that prevent backflow.
|
|
|
|
Lungs...
|
Lungs are where gas exchange occurs because the wall (alveoli/air sacs) are very thin.
|
|
|

|
Cells
|
The basic unit of life. Smallest unit of living things.
|
|
|
|
Define Tissues
|
There are 4 types - Tissues are cells that are organized into layers or masses that have a common function.
|

|
|
1st tissue - Epithelium
|
covers the body surface & lines it's cavities
