Studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.

Studies the function of the body, how the body works and carries out life sustaining activities.

Gross/Macroscopic Anatomy

The study of large body structures visible to the naked eye, such as the heart, lungs and kidneys.

All the structures (muscles, bones, blood vessels etc.) in a particular region of the body, such as the abdomen or leg are examined at the same time.

Body structure is studied by system.

The study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface.

Deals w/ structures too small to be seen by the naked eye.

Developmental Anatomy

Traces structural changes that occur in the body throughout the lifespan.

Concerns developmental change that occur before birth.

Concerns kidney function and urine production.

Explains the workings of the nervous system.

Cardiovascular Physiology

Examines the operation of the heart and blood vessels.

Levels of Structural Organization

Chemical Cellular Tissue Organ Organ System Organism

Atoms combine to form molecules.

Cells are made up of molecules.

Tissues consist of similar types of cells.

Organs are made up of different types of tissues.

Consist of different organs that work closely together.

The human organism is made up of many organ systems.

Maintaining Boundaries

The internal environment must remain distinct from the external environment.

5 Characteristics Needed for Life

Movement,Responsiveness, Metabolism, Reproduction, and Growth

Includes the activities promoted by the muscular system such as running or swimming. May be internal or external.

On the cellular level, the muscle cells ability to move by shortening.

The ability to sense changes (stimuli)in the environment and then respond to them.

The bresking down of ingested foodstuffs to simple molecules that can be absorbed into the blood.

All chemical reactions that occur in the body.

The process of removing wastes from the body.

Can occur at the cellular and organismal level, creating subsequent generations of similar organisms.

An increase in size of a body part or the organism.

To maintain relatively stable internal conditions even though the outside world changes continuously.

Some type of sensor that monitors the environment and responds to changes.

Analyzes the input it receives anf then determines the appropriate response or course of action.
