Principles of Anatomy and
Physiology 100% CORRECT GRADE A+
Homeostasis
constant internal physical and chemical conditions that organisms
maintain
Anatomy
study of STRUCTURE;
dissection
the act of cutting apart
Physiology
study of FUNCTION
Developmental Biology
study of complete development of an individual from fertilization to
death
Embryology
the first 8 weeks of development after fertilization of a human egg
cell biology
cellular structure and functions
Histology
study of tissues
Gross Anatomy
can be examined without a microscope
systemic anatomy
specific body systems
Regional Anatomy
specific regions of the body ex: head or chest
surface (topographical) anatomy
Anatomy from the outside, study of the structure of the body with
emphasis on superficial landmarks
Imaging anatomy
Internal body structures that can be visualized with techniques such
as x-rays, MRI, CT scans, and other technologies for clinical
analysis and medical intervention.
clinical anatomy
the practical application of anatomical knowledge to diagnose and
treat disease
pathological anatomy
structural changes associated with disease and aging
Molecular physiology
Functions of individual molecules such as proteins and DNA
Neurophysiology
, Functional properties of nerve cells
endocrinology
study of hormones, hormone-secreting glands, and their diseases
Horomones
chemical regulators released by glands, through the blood, to send
messages to cells
Cardiovascular physiology
function of the heart & blood vessels
Immunology
Body's resistance to disease causing agents
respiratory physiology
functions of the air passageways and lungs
Renal Physiology
kidney function and urine production
Exercise Physiology
Changes in cell and organ functions due to muscular activity
Pathophysiology
Functional changes associated with disease and aging
Levels of Structural Organization: Lowest to Highest
1. Chemical
2. cellular
3. tissue
4. organ
5. organ system
6. body
Atom
smallest unit of matter
Molecule
A group of atoms bonded together
Atoms essential for maintaining life
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur
molecules combine to form
cells, the basic unit of all life
tissue level
groups of similar cells that have a common function
organ level
Organs are made up of different types of tissues joined
organ system level
related organs with a common function
pancreas is part of
both the digestive system and the endocrine system
Organismic level
the entire body consisting of the various organ systems.
