Anatomical Position, Describe it! |
Anatomical position (n.) The erect position of the body with the face directed forward, the arms at the side, and the palms of the hands facing forward, used as a reference in describing the relation of body parts to one another. |

|
Define ANATOMY |
Anatomy studies the structure of body parts andtheir relationships to one another. |
|
|
Define PHYSIOLOGY |
Physiology concerns the function of the body, in other words,how the body parts work and carry out their life-sustaining activities. |
|
|
What is Gross/Macroscopic Anatomy |
The study of large body structures visible to the naked eye. |
|
|
Three different approaches to Macroscopic/Gross anatomy are as follows: Regional Anatomy, Systemic Anatomy, Surface Anatomy. Define Them! |
- Regional Anatomy: all the structures (muscles, bones, blood vessels,nerves, etc.) in a particular region of the body, such as theabdomen or leg, are examined at the same time. - Systemic Anatomy: body structure is studiedsystem by system. For example, when studying the cardiovascularsystem, you would examine the heart and the blood vesselsof the entire body. - Surface Anatomy: the study of internal structures as they relate to the overlyingskin surface. You use surface anatomy when you identify the bulging muscles beneath a bodybuilder’s skin, and cliniciansuse it to locate appropriate blood vessels in which to feel pulsesand draw blood. |
|
|
Define Microscopic Anatomy |
Microscopic anatomy deals with structures too small to beseen with the naked eye. For most such studies, exceedingly thinslices of body tissues are stained and mounted on glass slidesto be examined under the microscope. |
|
|
What is Cytology? |
Cytology is a branch of biology dealing with the structure, function, multiplication, pathology, and life history of cells |
|
|
What is Histology? |
Histology is a branch of anatomy that deals with the minute structure of animal and plant tissues as discernible with the microscope |
|
|
What is Developmental Anatomy? |
Developmental anatomy traces structural changes that occurin the body throughout the life span. |
|
|
What is Embryology? |
A subdivision of Developmental Anatomy that concernsdevelopmental changes that occur before birth. |
|
|
What is the principle of complementarityof structure and function? |
Although it is possible to study anatomy and physiology individually,they are really inseparable because function always reflectsstructure. That is, what a structure can do depends on itsspecific form. |
|
|
What are the levels of Structural Organization? |
Chemical Cellular Tissue Organ Organ System Organism |
|
|
What are the four types of TISSUE? |
The four basic tissue types in the human body are epithelium, muscle, connective tissue, and nervous tissue. |
|
|
FUNCTION always reflects what? |
STRUCTURE |
|
|
STRUCTURE always reflects what? |
