what is anatomy
study of the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another - form
what is surface anatomy
looks at internal structures as they relate to overlying skin (visible muscles or veins)
what is systemic anatomy
looks at one organ system (cardio, nervous, muscular)
what is physiology
study of the function of body parts; how they work to carry out life sustaining activities - function
what is histology
the study of tissues
2 types of microscopic anatomy
cytology; histology
true or false: form is always related to function
true
what is regional anatomy
looks at all structures in particular areas of the body
what is gross/macroscopic anatomy
study of large, visible structures
what is developmental anatomy
study of anatomical and physiological development through life
3 types of gross or macroscopic anatomy
regional, systemic, surface
what is embryology
study of development before birth
physiology often focuses on _ and _ levels of the body
cellular; molecular
what is on the chemical level
atoms, molecules, organelles
what is on the cellular level
single cell
1 type of developmental anatomy
embryology
define palpate
to examine by touch/feel
what is on the tissue level
groups of similar cells
what is the organ level
contains 2+ types of tissues
what is the organ system level
organs that work closely together
define auscultate
to listen to the sound of the body by using a stethoscope
what is the principle of complementarity of structure and function
anatomy/physiology are always related. what a structure can do depends on its form.
what is the organismal level
all organ systems combined to make a whole organism
integumentary system organs (6)
hair, skin, nails, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, cutaneous receptors
integumentary system functions
external body covering. protects body. forms a boundary from the inside of the body to the external environment. synthesizes
