INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Flashcards
the study of the biology of animals that live
alongside humans
Animal Science
deals with breeding, farming and care of farm
animals
Animal Husbandry
- the study of the structure of the body and the
relation of its parts - a branch of biological science that deals with the
form, and structure of organisms
Anatomy
methods of anatomy based on processes
- Embryology - Developmental Anatomy
- Pathological Anatomy\
methods of anatomy based on application
- Surgical Anatomy
- Anatomical Art
methods of anatomy based on methods being employed
- Gross Anatomy
- Microscopic Anatomy/Microanatomy
description of the structure of
a single type of species
Special Anatomy
deals with the form and
structure of the principal domesticated animals,
largely descriptive in character
Veterinary Anatomy
the description of skeleton
Osteology
the description of the joints
Syndesmology
muscles and accessory structures
Myology
the description of the viscera
Splanchnology
the description of the organs of
circulation
Angiology
- the scientific study of the functions and
mechanisms which work within a living system - focused on how organisms, organ systems,
organs, cells, and biomolecules carry out the
chemical and physical functions that exist in a
living system
Physiology
lie toward the
back (dorsum)
Dorsal
lie toward the belly (venter) or
the corresponding surface of the head or tail
Ventral
lie toward the head (cranium)
Cranial
ones toward the tail (cauda)
Caudal
toward the muzzle
rostrum
Rostral
lie toward the median plane (medianus, in the middle)
Medial
lie toward the side (latus, flank)
Lateral
lie toward the junction with the
body
Proximal
structures are those at a greater distance
Distal
In the limb – proximal part: structures lie toward the “front”
Cranial
