Term

 

 

 GROSS

 

-Regional Anatomy
-Systemic Anatomy
-Surface Anatomy

Definition

-study of all body structures in a given body region

 

-study of all structures in a body system

 

-study of internal body structures as they relate to the overlying skin

study of structures assisted by microscope
Term
Cytology
Definition
study of individual cells
Term
Histology
Definition
study of tissues
Term
Developmental anatomy
Definition
study of the change in body structures over the course of a lifetime
Term
Branches of Anatomy
Definition

Pathological- study of structural changes associated with disease

 

Radiographic- study of internal structures using specialized visualization techniques

 

Molecular biology- study of biological molecules

Term
Topics of Physiology
Definition

-the function of specific organ systems

 

-cellular and molecular events

Term
Principle of Complementarity
Definition

Functions is dependent on structure, and form of a structure relates to its function

 

STRUCTURE <----> FUNCTION

(Anatomy)        (Physiology)

 

EX: Bone <-> support Blood <-> circulation

Term

Definition

1. chemical

 

2. cellular

 

3. tissue

 

4. organ

 

5. organ system

 

6. organismal

Term
chemical level
Definition

-simplest level of organization

 

atoms-->molecules-->organelles-->cells

Term
cellular level
Definition
smallest unit of life, varies in size and shape according to cells' function
Term
tissue level
Definition
groups of cells having a common function
Term
organ level
Definition
two or more groups of tissues working together to perform a specific function in the body
Term
organ system level
Definition
group of organs working closely together to accomplish a specific purpose
Term
organismal level
Definition
total of all structures working together to promote life
Term
