Terms in this set (49)

Understand how anatomy and physiology are different subjects, but are "joined at the hip".
Anatomy: study of structures of the body
Physiology: study of function of the body
Linked: function follows structure
How does gross anatomy differ from histology and be able to define each.
Gross Anatomy: structure visible to the naked eye
Histology: tissues (group of cells), need a microscope
Define the regional and systemic approaches to gross anatomy. What about blending these approaches?
Regional: study region by region
Systemic: study systems of grouped structures
Can use both methods at once
Are regional and systemic approaches subcategories of gross? Explain.
YES, they are different approaches to study structures visible to the naked eye
How is our course an "integrative" approach?
We use a mix of both systemic/regional approaches
Know how anatomy and physiology can be investigated from atoms, molecules, cells,.....all the way to the organism itself.
Atoms → cells→ tissues→ organs→ organ systems→ organism
Know the four major categories of macromolecules.
Nucleic acids, fats/lipids, carbohydrates, proteins
What elements are among the major categories of macromolecules?
Prof's name: COHN (Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen)
What is the prominence and significance of H20 in the body?
Made up of mostly water (young adult is 67% water, get less watery w age)
Significance: thermoregulation, bicarbonate buffering system, cushion
Define tissues
group of similar cells that performs a specialized function
What are the four major categories of tissues?
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
Define an organ
structure made up of at least 2 different tissues and has a discrete job
Define an organ system
group of organs that together perform a common function(s) and are viewed as a unit
If you were to define both "Anatomy" and "Physiology" using one common word, what would that word be for each term?
Anatomy: structure
Physiology: function
Major organ systems of the body
integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive
