| What are subdivisions of anatomy? | -Gross/Macroscopic(e.g. regional, systemic, surface anatomy) -Microscopic(e.g. Cytology, Histology) -Developmental(e.g. embryology) |
| Developmental Anatomy | The study of the fertilized egg developing into its adult form. |
| Embryology | A subcategory of developmental anatomy. |
| Histology | the study of tissues |
| Cytology | the study of individual cellular structures |
| Pathology | the study of anatomical changes due to disease |
| Physiology | -study of the function of the body -subdivisions based on organ systems -often focuses on cellular and molecular level |
| Principal of Complementarity | -Anatomy and physiology are inseparable --functions always reflects structure --what a structure can do depends on its specific form |
| Levels of structural organization | -chemical -cellular -tissue -organ -organ system -organismal |
| integumentary system | forms the exter |
