A&p I Ch 1 Part 1

Front 1

Gross anatomy

Back 1

Aka macroscopic anatomy. The study of large body structures visible to naked eye. Ie heart, lungs.

Front 2

Regional anatomy

Back 2

Study of all the structures in a particular region of the body. Ie abdomen, leg

Front 3

Systemic anatomy

Back 3

Study of body structure system by system. Ie studying heart & blood vessels of an entire body to study cardiovascular system

Front 4

Surface anatomy

Back 4

Study of internal structures as they relate to overlying skin surface. Ie studying bodybuilder's muscles or locating vein to take pulse or draw blood

Front 5

Microscopic anatomy

Back 5

Study of structures too small to be seen with naked eye

Front 6

Developmental anatomy

Back 6

Study of structural changes that happen to body throughout lifespan.

Front 7

Renal physiology

Back 7

Study of kidney function & urine production

Front 8

Neurophysiology

Back 8

Study of the function of the nervous system

Front 9

Cardiovascular physiology

Back 9

Study of the operation of heart & blood vessels

Front 10

Complentarity of structure & function

Back 10

Function always reflects structure. What a structure can do depends on its specific form

Front 11

6 levels of structural organization

Back 11

1. Chemical level

2. Cellular level

3. Tissue level

4. Organ level

5. Organ system level

6. Organism level

Front 12

Chemical level

Back 12

Atoms combine to form molecules such as protein & water. Molecules work together in specific ways to form organelles- the basic component of microscopic cells.

Front 13

Cellular level

Back 13

All cells have common functions BUT individual cells vary widely in size & shape, based on their specific function.

Front 14

Tissue level

Back 14

Groups of similar cells that have a common function

Front 15

4 basic types of human tissue

Back 15

1. Epithelium

2. Muscles

3. Connective tissue

4. Nervous tissue

Front 16

Organ level

Back 16

Extremely complex function becomes possible.

discrete structure of at least 2 tissue types that perform a specific function for the body.

Front 17

Organ system level

Back 17

Organs work together to accomplish a common purpose.. Ie heart pumps blood & vessels carry blood thriughout body in the cardiovascular system

Front 18

Organism level

Back 18

Highest level of organization

sum total of all structural levels working together.

ie human

Front 19

1. Maintaining boundaries

2. Movement

3. Responsiveness (sense changes & respond)

4. Digestion

5. Metabolism

6. Excretion

7. Reproduction
