Anatomy and Physicology Compared 1.1

Question 1

Anatomy

Answer 1

The study of structure and form

Question 2

What Greek word is anatomy derived from

Answer 2

Anatome

Question 3

Anatome means…

Answer 3

Cut apart or dissect

Question 4

Anatomists

Answer 4

Scientists who study the form and structure of organisms

Question 5

Physiology

Answer 5

The study of function of the body parts

Question 6

Physiologists

Answer 6

Scientists who examine how organs and body systems function under normal circumstances as well as how the functioning of these organs may be altered via medication or disease

Question 7

What are 2 professionals who use the scientific method to explain and understand the workings of the body

Answer 7

Anatomists and physiologists

Question 8

Scientific method

Answer 8

Is a systematic and rigorous process in which scientists:
-examine natural events ( or phenomena) through observation
-develop a hypothesis (possible explanation) for explaining these phenomena
-experiment and test the hypothesis through the collection of data
-determine if the data support the hypothesis, or if the hypothesis needs to be rejected or modified

Question 9

Microscopic anatomy

Answer 9

Examines structures that cannot be seen by the un aided eye

Question 10

Microscopic anatomy’s 2 main divisions

Answer 10

Cytology and histology

Question 11

Cytology

Answer 11

Kyoto’s= a hollow [cell], logos= study

Question 12

Cytology or cellular anatomy is?

Answer 12

The study of body cells and their internal structure

Question 13

Histology

Answer 13

Histos=web,tissue

Question 14

Histology is?

Answer 14

The study of body tissues

Question 15

Gross anatomy (also called macroscopic anatomy)

Answer 15

Investigates the structure and relationships of body parts that are visible to the unaided eye, such as the intestines , stomach,brain, heart, and kidneys

Question 16

gross anatomy may be approached in these ways…

Answer 16

systemic anatomy, regional anatomy, surface anatomy, comparative anatomy, embryology

Question 17

what is systemic anatomy

Answer 17

studies the anatomy of each functional body system. for example, studying the urinary system would involve examining the kidneys (where urine is formed) and the organs of urine transport (ureters and urethra)and storage (urinary bladder). Most undergraduate anatomy and physiology classes use this systemic approach.

Question 18

what is regional anatomy

Answer 18

examines all of the structures in a particular region of the body as a complete unit. For example, one may study the axillary (armpit) region of the body, and in so doing examine the blood vessels (axillary artery and vein), nerves (branches of the branchial plexus), lymph nodes (axillary lymph nodes), musculature, connective tissue, and skin. Most medical school gross anatomy courses are taught using a regional anatomy approach.

Question 19

what is surface anatomy

Answer 19

focuses on both the superficial anatomic markings and the internal body structures that relate to the skin covering them. Health-care providers use surface features to identify and locate important landmarks, such as pulse locations or the proper body region on which to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Most anatomy and physiology classes also instruct students on important surface anatomy locations.

Question 20

what is comparative anatomy

Answer 20

examines the similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species. For example, students in a comparative anatomy class may examine and compare limb structures in humans, chimps, dogs, and cats.

Question 21

what is embryology

Answer 21

is the discipline concerned with developmental changes occurring from conception to birth.

Question 22

embryology

Answer 22

embryon = young one

Question 23

pathologic

Answer 23

pathos = disease

Question 24

pathologic anatomy…

Answer 24

examines all anatomic changes resulting from disease. both gross anatomic changes and microscopic structures are examined.

Question 25

Radiographic anatomy…

Answer 25

investigates the relationships among internal structures that may be visualized by specific scanning procedures, such as radiography (x-ray), ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Question 26

cardiovascular physiology…

Answer 26

examines the functioning of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.

Question 27

cardiovascular physiologists

Answer 27

examine how the heart pumps the blood, what are the parameters for healthy blood pressure within the blood vessels, and the details of the cellular exchange mechanisms by which respiratory gases, nutrients, and wastes move between blood and body structures

Question 28

neurophysiology…

Answer 28

examines how nerve impulses are propagated throughout the nervous system

Question 29

respiratory physiology…

Answer 29

studies how respiratory gases are transferred by gas exchange between the lungs and the blood vessels

Question 30

reproductive physiology…

Answer 30

explores how the regulation of reproductive hormones can drive the reproductive cycle and influence sex cell production and maturation

Question 31

Pathophysiology….

Answer 31

investigates the relationship between the functioning of an organ system and disease or injury to that organ system. for example, a pathophysiologist would examine how contractile force of the heart, blood pressure, and both gas and nutrient exchange may be affected in an individual afflicted with heart disease.

Question 32

organization…

Answer 32

all organisms exhibit a complex structure and order

Question 33

metabolism

Answer 33

metabole=change

Question 34

all organisms engage in metabolism which is…

Answer 34

defined as the sum of all of the chemical reactions that occur with in the body
