Chapter 01 Flashcards
(36 cards)
Study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface.
Surface anatomy
Cells are made up of molecules
Cellular level
6 Levels of Structural Organization
1st - Chemical level
2nd - Cellular level
3rd - Tissue level
4th - Organ level
5th - Organ system level
6th - Organismal level
Human organ systems
- ) Integumentary
- ) Skeletal
- ) Muscular
- ) Nervous
- ) Endocrine
- ) Cardiovascular
- ) Lymphatic
- ) Respiratory
- ) Digestive
- ) Urinary
- ) Reproductive
Anatomy
Study of the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another.
The human organism is made up of 11 organ systems
Organismal level
Structural changes (such as growth) that occur in the body throughout the life span
Developmental anatomy
Chemical level
Atoms combine to form molecules
Body in anatomical position
- ) Body erect
- ) Feet slightly apart
- ) Palms face forward
- ) Thumbs point away from the body
Cellular level
Cells are made up of molecules
Developmental anatomy
Structural changes (such as growth) that occur in the body throughout the life span
Homeostasis
Maintenance of a relatively stable internal conditions even though the external environment is changing
Study of the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another.
Anatomy
Tissues consist of similar types of cells
Tissue level
- ) Integumentary
- ) Skeletal
- ) Muscular
- ) Nervous
- ) Endocrine
- ) Cardiovascular
- ) Lymphatic
- ) Respiratory
- ) Digestive
- ) Urinary
- ) Reproductive
Human organ systems
Gross anatomy
(Macroscopic) Study of large body structures visible to the naked eye (i.e. heart, lungs, kidneys)
Organs are made up of different types of tissues
Organ level
Systemic anatomy
Body structure is studied system by system.
Physiology
Study of the function of the body, how the body parts work and carry out their life-sustaining activities.
All the structures (muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, etc.) in a particular region of the body are examined all at the same time.
Regional anatomy
Organ system level
Organ systems consist of different organs
Organismal level
The human organism is made up of 11 organ systems
Maintenance of a relatively stable internal conditions even though the external environment is changing
Homeostasis
Surface anatomy
Study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface.
