Introduction To Anatomy Physiology

Front 1

Anatomy

Back 1

studies the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another

Front 2

Physiology

Back 2

concerns how the body parts work, or function, and how they carry out life sustaining activities

Front 3

devisions of anatomy

Back 3

gross or macroscopic anatomy
microscopic anatomy
developmental anatomy
radiographic anatomy
pathological anatomy

Front 4

gross or macroscopic anatomy

Back 4

study of large structures visible to naked eye
ex)heart,lungs, and kidneys

Front 5

regional anatomy

Back 5

all of the structures in a particular region of the body are examined at the same time
ex) abdomen

Front 6

systemic anatomy

Back 6

body structure is studied system by system
ex) cardiovascular system-study the heart and blood vessels of the entire body

Front 7

surface anatomy

Back 7

study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface
ex) use to find palses and draw blood

Front 8

microscopic anatomy

Back 8

study of structures to small for the naked eye

Front 9

cytology

Back 9

study of the cells of the body

Front 10

histology

Back 10

study of tissue(groups of cells that work together)

Front 11

developmental anatomy

Back 11

study structural changes that occur in the body throughout the life span

Front 12

embryology

Back 12

type of developmental anatomy that focuses on development that occurs before birth

Front 13

pathological anatomy

Back 13

study of structural changes caused by disease

Front 14

Radiographic anatomy

Back 14

study of internal structures as viewed by x-ray images or specialized scanning procedures

Front 15

Divisions of Physiology

Back 15

cell physiology,systems physiology, pathophysiology,exercise physiology,neurophysiology, endocrinology,cardiovascular physiology,immunolgy,respiratory physiology,renal physiology,reproductive physiology

Front 16

cell physiology

Back 16

study of functions of the cells

Front 17

systems physiology

Back 17

study of the operations of organ systems

Front 18

pathophysiology

Back 18

study of functional changes associated with disease and aging

Front 19

exercise physiology

Back 19

study of changes in cell and organ functions during muscular activity

Front 20

neurophysiology

Back 20

study of functional characteristics of nerve cells

Front 21

endocrinology

Back 21

study of hormones (chemical regulaters in the blood) and how they control body functions

Front 22

cardiovascular physiology

Back 22

study of functions of the heart and blood vessels

Front 23

immunology

Back 23

study of blood defence mechanisms

Front 24

respiratory physiology

Back 24

study of functions of air passageways and lungs

Front 25

renal physiology

Back 25

study of functions of the kidneys

Front 26

reproductive physiology

Back 26

study of the functions of reproductive structures

Front 27

Principle of Complementarity of Structure and Function

Back 27

Anatomy and physiology are pretty much inseperable
-function always reflects structure
-what a structure can do depends on its specific form

Front 28

levels of structural organization

Back 28

chemical-atoms and molecules
cellular-smallest units of living
tissue-groups of similar cells
organ-several tissues interact
organ system-organs work together to accomlish a purpose
organism-living human being

Front 29

Maintaining life

Back 29

all living organisms carry out certain vital functional activities necessary for life
-maintance of boundaries ,movement,
responsiveness,digestion,
metabolism,excretion,
reproduction,growth

Front 30

survival needs

Back 30

nutrients
oxygen
water
normal body temp.
appropriate atmospheric pressure

Front 31

maintaing boundaries

Back 31

body's internal environment must remain distinct from external environment surrounding it

Front 32

movement

Back 32

motion of the whole body,individual organs,single cells, or even organelles inside the cells

Front 33

responsiveness

Back 33

ability to detect and respond to changes in the external and internal environment

Front 34

digestion

Back 34

breaking down of ingested foodstuffs to simple molecules that can be absorbed into the blood

Front 35

metabolism

Back 35

sum of all the chemical processes that occur in the body

Front 36

growth

Back 36

refers to increase in size and complexity

Front 37

reproduction

Back 37

refers to either the formation of new cells for growth, repair, or replacement, or the production of a new individual

Front 38

excretion

Back 38

process of removing wastes from the body
