INTRO to ANAPHY Flashcards
- study of the normal structures of the human body
and their relationships with one another
HUMAN ANATOMY
- study of the different functions of the normal structures
of the human body and the involved processes
of how these body parts work
HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
DIVISIONS OF HUMAN ANATOMY
A. GROSS / MACROSCOPIC ANATOMY
1. Surface Anatomy
2. Systemic Anatomy
3. Regional Anatomy
B. MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY
1. Cytology
2. Histology
C. EMBRYOLOGY
D. NEUROANATOMY
- study of normal structures of the human big enough to be studied by the unaided eye.
This includes:
Systemic Anatomy
Regional Anatomy
Surface anatomy
Gross / Macroscopic anatomy
3 categories of Gross/Macroscopic Anatomy
Systemic Anatomy
Regional Anatomy
Surface Anatomy
– study of structures of specific body systems
e.g. nervous and circulatory systems.
Systemic Anatomy
– study of structures by body regions.
e.g.
head region, thoracic region
Regional Anatomy
– study of the landmarks on the body surface
of the different visceral organs
Surface anatomy
study of structures of the human body through use of
microscope.
This includes:
Cyctology
Histology
Microscopic Anatomy
2 categories of Microscopic Anatomy
Cytology
Histology
chemical and microscopic study of cells
Cyctology
study of normal tissues of the body
Histology
- study of development of the human body from
fertilization of ovum up to the period of extrauterine
life.
Embryology
study of normal microscopic, gross features and
development of the nervous system
Neuroanatomy
DIVISIONS OF HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY
A. CELL PHYSIOLOGY
B. SPECIAL PHYSIOLOGY
C. SYSTEMIC PHYSIOLOGY
D. PATHOLOGIC PHYSIOLOGY
- the study of the functions of living cells
- the cornerstone of human physiology
Cell Physiology
is the study of the functions of specific organs
e.g. cardiac physiology-is the study of the heart function
Special Physiology
includes all aspects of the functions of specific organ
systems.
e.g. cardiovascular physiology, respiratory physiology
and reproductive physiology.
Systemic Physiology
is the study of the effects of diseases on organ or system functions.
Pathologic physiology
Homeostasis
*Maintenance of the body’s internal
environment
*Negative feedback loop
HOMEOSTASIS REGULATION
- Autoregulation
- Extrinsic regulation
-happens when there is environmental change and an automatic system change in the activities of a tissue, cell, or organ.
– cells lack oxygen, chemicals would be
released to dilate blood vessels
Autoregulation
-involves the endocrine and nervous systems, which are not inside the organs they regulate.
-during exercise nervous system
commands increase of heart rate so blood will circulate faster
Extrinsic regulation
ESSENTIAL LIFE PROCESSES
- Metabolism
- Responsiveness
- Movement
- Reproduction
- Differentiation
- Growth
