Anatomy

Studies the form and structure of the body, examines the relationship among parts of the body as well as the structure of organs.

Greek root that means "to cut apart"

Physiology

Examines how the body FUNCTIONS, the study of chemistry and physics of the body and the ways in which they work together to support the functions of life.

Homeostasis

The tendency of the body to seek and maintain a condition of balance or equilibrium within it's internal environment

One in the body

Microscopic Anatomy

Examines structures that cannot be observed by the unaided eye

What are the 2 main divisions of specimens examined under microscope?

Cytology and Histology

Cytology

The study of body cells and their internal STRUCTURE

Histology

The study of tissues

Gross/Macroscopic Anatomy

Investigates structures visible to the unaided eye.

What 5 ways can specimens be examined in Macroscopic Anatomy?

Regional, Embryology Comparative, Systemic and Surface

RECSS

Systemic Anatomy

Study of structures that make up a discrete body system; a group of structures that work together to perform a unique body function.

Regional Anatomy

Examines all the structures in a particular region of the body; the study of interrelationships of all structures in a specific body region. E.g. the abdomen

Surface Anatomy

Focuses on superficial anatomic markings and related internal body structures.

Comparative Anatomy

Examines similarities and differences in anatomy of DIFFERENT SPECIES

Embryology

Studies developmental changes from conception to birth.

What are the 2 types of specialized branches of Anatomy?

Pathological and Radiographic

Pathologic Anatomy

Examines anatomic changes RESULTING FROM DISEASE

Radiographic Anatomy

Investigates internal structures by scanning procedures

What are the 5 subdiciplines of physiology that focus on a particular body system?

Cardiovascular, Nuerophysiology, Respiratory, Reproductive, and Pathophisiology

Cardiovascular physiology

The functioning of the heart, blood vessels and blood.

Neurophysiology

The functioning of nerves and nervous system organs

Resipriratory Physiology

The functioning of respiratory organs

Reproductive physiology

The functioning of the reproductive hormones and the reproductive cycle.

Pathophysiology

The relationship between the function of an organ system and disease or injury to the system.

Levels of Structural Organization of the Human Body

Chemical Level, Cellular Level, Tissue Level, Organ Level, Organ System Level, Organismal Level

Integumentary System

Encloses internal body structures-site of many sensory receptors(i.e. skin)

Hair, Skin and Nails

Skeletal system

Supports the body- enables movement(with muscular system)

Cartilage, Bones and Joints

Muscular System

Enables movement(with skeletal system) helps maintain body temperature

Skeletal Mucles and Tendons

Nervous System

Detects and processes sensory information, activates bodily responses.

Brain, Spinal cord, Peripheral nerves

Endocrine System

Secretes hormones, regulates bodily processes

Pituitary gland, Thyroid gland, Pancreas, Adrenal Glands and Testes/Ovaries

Cardiovascular System

Delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues. Equalizes temperature in the body

Heart, Blood vessels

Lymphatic System

Returns fluid to blood and defends against pathogens

Thymus, Lymph Nodes, Spleen and Lymphatic Vessels

Digestive System

Processes food used by the body and removes waste from the undigested food

Stomach, Liver, Gall Bladder, Large intestine and Small intestine

Urinary System

Controls water balance in the body and removes waste from blood and excretes them

Kidneys and urinary bladder

Male Reproductive system

Produces sex hormones and gametes and deliver gametes to female

Epididymus and Testes

Female Reproductive System

Produce sex hormones and gametes also supports embryo/fetus until birth and produces milk for an infant.

Metabolism

The sum of all chemical reactions that occur with in the body; composed of anabolism and catabolism, both occurring simultaneously and continually to keep us alive.

Anabolism

Small molecules joined to form larger ones

Utilizes energy

Anabolic reactions

Building reactions and they consume(utilize) energy

Catabolism

Large molecules broken down into smaller ones

Releases energy

Catabolic reaction

Breaks materials down and release energy
