| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Microscopic Anatomy | Structures that have to be seen with a microscope |
| Macro(Gross)scopic Anatomy | Structures that are visible to the naked eye |
| Cytology | Study of cells |
| Histology | Study of tissues |
| Systemic anatomy | Study of each functional body system |
| Pathologic anatomy | Macro and Microscopic structures and their change due to disease |
| Radiographic anatomy | Internal structures seen by scanning procedures |
| Regional anatomy | All the structures in a certain area of the body |
| Surface anatomy | Superficial anatomic and internal structures |
| Comparative anatomy | Compare and contrast of anatomical structures in different species |
| Embryology | Developmental changes from conception to birth |
| Cardiovascular | Functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood |
| Neurophysiology | Functions of nerves and nervous system |
| Respiratory physiology | Functions of the respiratory system and their organs |
| Reproductive physiology | Functions of the reproductive system and organs |
| Pathophysiology | Function of an organ system and their organs and the disease relating to it |
| Metabolism | The sum of all chemical reactions that happen in the body |
| Anabolism | Subdivision of metabolism - small molecules form into bigger molecules |
| Catabolism | Subdivision of metabolism- large molecules break into small molecules |
| Homeostasis | Maintain body structure and functions |
| Atoms | Smallest units of matter |
| Molecules | One or more atoms |
| Macromolecules | Complex molecules |
| Cells | smallest living structure |
| Most medical terms come from | Greek and Latin |
| Anatomic position | Common reference point |
| Prone | Horizontal - face down |
| Supine ( spine ) | Horizontal - face up |
| Pronation | Turing face down ( elbow and ankle ) |
| Supination | Turing face up ( elbow and ankle ) |
| Section | A real cut that exposes internal anatomy |
| Plane | Imaginary line through a structure |
| Coronal Plane | Dividing the body into front and back parts - Vertical plane |
| Transverse Plane | Dividing the body into top and bottom parts - Horizontal plane |
| Midsagittal Plane | Divides the body into equal right and left parts - Vertical plane |
| Sagittal Plane | Divides the body into right and left unequal parts - Vertical plane |
| Oblique Plane | Divides the body at an angle ( not 90 degrees ) |
| Anterior | Front |
| Posterior | Back |
| Dorsal | Back |
| Ventral | Front ( back or belly ) |
| Superior | Top |
| Inferior | Bottom |
| Cranial | Head end ( top ) |
| Medial | Towards the Middle |
| Lateral | Away from the Middle |
| Superficial | Outside |
| Proximal | Closer to the point of attachment |
| Distal | Further from the point of attachment |
| Axial Region | Head, neck trunk - moves the body |
| Appendicular Region | Limbs |
| Receptor | Detects change in a situation |
| Control Center | Sees changes from receptor and initiates changes to the effector |
| Effector | Structure that brings changes |
| Negative feedback | Responds in the opposite direction to change the stimulus back to normal |
| Positive feedback | Moves variable in the same direction as the stimulus to be removed |
| Stimulus | Something that changes the variable from the normal range |
| Normal Range - Body Temperature | 98.6 F 37 C |
| Normal Range - Blood Pressure | 90-120 or 60-80 mm Hg |
| Normal Range - Blood Sugar Content | 80-110 mg/dL |
