Anatomy Physiology
1 Anatomy Physiology Compared
the
Anatomy studies the form and structure of body
Physiology examines how the body
icroscopic anatomy
Examines structures that can not be observed by unaided eye
Specimens examined under microscope
Divisions
cytology the study of body cells and their internal
structure
histology study of tissues
Gross anatomy
Examines structures visible to the unaided eye
Specimens dissected for examination
Divisions
Systemic anatomy studies anatomy of each body system
Regional anatomy examines structures in a body region
Surface anatomy focuses of superficial anatomic markings
and internal body structures
Comparative anatomy examines anatomical similarities and
differences in different species
Embryology studies developmental changes from conception to birth
, pathologic anatomy examines macroscopic and microscopic an atom

organs
Respiratory physiology explores functioning of respiratory organs
Reproductive physiology investigates functioning of reproductive hormones
and the reproductive cycle
Pathophysiology focuses on the function of a
body system durin
disease or injury to the system
2
Anatomy and Physiology Integrated
orm anatomy and function physiology are interrelated
integrating these disciplines is the easiest way to learn aboutbot
both disciplines must us information from the other field
form allows function
3 How to Study Anatomy and Physiology Effectively
Schedule regular daily study sessions well before exam
Multiple short
study sessions
