Physiology definition - is the study of the function of the body.

Understand how anatomy and physiology are different subjects, but are "joined at the hip". -
You cannot have anatomy without physiology and vice versa
Gross anatomy definition - anatomy that you can study without the aid of a microscope. You
can physically hold the structure in your hand and see it with the naked eye. subcategory or
anatomy and it is the study of large body structures.
Histology definition - the study of tissues and it requires the use of light and electron
microscopes in order to see the tissues structures.
what is used to slice tissues in histology? - microtome
Regional anatomy definition - "the body is studied area by area". used in most medical
professions
systemic anatomy defintion - "the body is studied system by system". used in introductory
classes like this one.
What about blending the regional & systemic approaches? - Within each region, all systems are
studied simultaneously.
Are regional and systemic approaches subcategories of gross? - yes, regional is studying the
body area by area. Systemic is studying the body system by system.
How is our course an "integrative" approach? - taking them and forming them together;
Relating structure and function together. you can't study structure without function
chemical level of A&P - atoms combined to form molecules
cellular level of A&P - those molecules form organelles (such as nucleus & mitochondria) that
make up cells in our body
tissue level of A&P - similar cells & surrounding material make up tissue (such as smooth
muscle tissue)
organ level of A&P - different tissues combine to form organs, like the urinary bladder
Organ definition - structure that's composed of at least 2 tissues and has a specific function.
Ex → urinary bladder has epithelial tissue (innermost), connective tissue (to provide rigidity),
and smooth muscle tissue. Purchase to score an A... [Show Less]
