19
Q

What is anatomy?

A

The study of the structure of the human body.

20
Q

What is physiology?

A

The study of function of the body.

21
Q

What is gross anatomy?

A

Macroscopic/ study of large body structues.

22
Q

What is regional anatomy?

A

When all structures in a particular region of the body are studied at the same time.

23
Q

What is systematic anatomy?

A

When body structure is studied region by region.

24
What is surface anatomy?
The study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface
25
What is microscopic anatomy?
Deals with structures of body that are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
26
What is cytology?
The study of cell. A branch of microscopic anatomy concerned with cells.
27
What is developmental anatomy?
The study of structural changes through out a lifespan.
28
What is embryology?
A subdivision of developmental anatomy, concerned with developmental changes that occur before birth.
29
What is pathological anatomy?
The study of structural changes caused by disease.
30
What is radio graphic anatomy?
Studies internal structures as visualized by an imaging machine.
31
Principle of complementary of structure and function
What a structure can do depends on it's specific form
32
List the functional characteristics necessary to maintain life.
1. Maintaining boundaries 2. Movement 3. Responsiveness 4. Digestion 5. Metabolism 6. Excretion 7. Reproduction 8. Growth
33
What does your body need to survive?
1. Nutrients 2. Oxygen 3. Water 4. Normal Body Temperature 5. Appropriate Atmospheric Pressure
34
Maintaining boundaries
A barrier or covering protecting an organism from its external environment. Boundaries protect the organisms internal organs from drying out, bacteria, heat sunlight and chemicals.
35
Movement
Organisms must propel themselves delve to one place to another, manipulate their environment. Substances in the body must move to one place to another. Muscles have to contract.
36
Negative feed back
Stops effectors from doing too much | Ex. Shivering
37
Positive feedback
Amplifies until homeostasis is reached
38
Negative feed back and positive feed back are both an important part of
Homeostasis
39
Homeostasis is regulated through
Feedback loops
