Developmental Anatomy
The study of structural changes from fertilization to maturity
Systemic Anatomy
The study of body structures that work together to perform a function
Epidermis
Keratinized stratified squamos epithelium with four layers thin skin five layers thick skin
Five Special Senses

Cells are made of
Molecules
Keratinocytes
Produce keratin tough fibrous protein
Chemical Senses
Smell Olfaction
Taste Gustation
Anatomical Position
Standing upright facing forward arms hanging on the sides palms facing forward feet together
Melanocytes
Produce melanin protect the skin from ultraviolet light
Olfactory Epithelium
The organ of smell that covers the roof of the nasal cavity
Dendritic Cells
Macrophages that ingest foreign substances and activate immune system
Parietal Pluera
Outer layer of a serous membrane lines the thoracic wall
Tactile Merkel Cells
Sensory receptor for touch
Astrocytes
A subtype of glial cells that make up the majority of cells in the human central nervous system
Ependymal Cells
Ciliated epithelial cells that develop from radial glia along the surface of the ventricles of the brain and the spinal cord
Oligodendrocytes
Myelinating cells of the central nervous system
Microglia
Immune cells of the brain
Taste Buds
Mostly found in the tongue papilla on the tongue mucosa
What contains the taste buds
Fungiform and circumvallate papillae
Cytology
the study of cells for making a diagnosis based on the abnormalities encountered in the anatomical structures of the human body and then correlated to different types of cells.
Embryology
The branch of biology and medicine with the study of embryos and their development
