types of Anatomy
This is the study of macroscopic structures of an organism.
What is gross anatomy?
This is the study of tissues.
What is histology?
This level of organization makes up all the parts of a cell's organelles.
What is molecular (or molecules)?
This organ system includes the eyes, brain and spinal cord.
What is the nervous system?
This type of feedback is a good thing and keeps the body at specific set points for ideal function.
What is negative feedback?
This is the study of how the anatomy of different organisms are similar
What is comparative anatomy?
This type of tissue includes the skin, lining of organs and glands.
This level of organization includes cells of similar function all working together.
What are tissues?
This organ system includes the heart and blood vessels.
What is the circulatory system?
This type of feedback will lead to death if it is not interrupted by external actions. The only useful form of this feedback is in pregnancy.
What is positive feedback?
This is the study of the anatomy we see on the outside of the body
What is surface anatomy?
This is the tissue found in the muscular system.
What is muscle (or muscular) tissue?
This level of organization includes all the organs needed for a specific purpose in the body.
What is an organ system?
This organ system includes the stomach and intestines.
What is the digestive system?
This is the part of a feedback mechanism that causes a change in the body's normal function.
What is the stress?
This is the study of a specific area of the body.
What is regional anatomy?
This is the tissue found in the brain, spinal cord, nerves and eye.
What is nervous tissue?
This level of organization is made of more than one tissue type that performs a common function.
What is an organ?
This organ system includes all body parts needed to pass along DNA information in creation of offspring.
What is the reproductive system?
This is the part of a feedback mechanism that monitors and reports changes in the body's normal set points.
What are receptors?
This is the study of the parts of different organ systems.
What is systemic anatomy?
This tissue includes those found in bone, cartilage and blood.
What is connective tissue?
This level of organization is made of the full collection of all organ systems required for a complete living being.
What is the organism?
What is the respiratory system?
These are the body system or systems that respond to a stress to keep ideal set points in place.
What are effectors?
