Anatomy & Physiology

Chapter 1 - A & P Lecture

QuestionAnswer
The human body is a _______ system. The _______ in the body work in concert to maintain __________, a balance in the body's __________ environment. complex, structures, homeostasis, internal
Anatomy scientific discipline that investigates the body's structure, such as the size and shape of a bone
Physiology scientific investigation of the processes or functions of living things
Topics of Anatomy: gross (ex: regional, systemic, surface) & structures so small they require aid of microscope (ex: cytology, histology)
Gross structures examined without a microscope
Regional studied area by area
Systemic studied by system by system
Surface external form used to visualize deeper structures
Cytology cellular anatomy
Histology study of tissues
Anatomical Imaging: x ray, ultrasound, computed tomography, digital subtraction angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography
X ray electromagnetic radiation moves through body and is exposed on photographic plat; creates radiograph
Ultrasound sound waves pass into body and bounce back to receiver; visualized as a sonogram
Computed Tomography (CT) computer analyzed x ray images
Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) similar to a CT scan but uses a radiopaque dye to enhance differences in areas
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) radio waves directed to patient while under electromagnetic field; radio waves collected and analyzed by computer
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radioactively labeled glucose usage by a tissue is detected; provides info on metabolic state
Topic of Physiology: how body responds to stimuli & maintains stable internal conditions in a constantly changing environment Ex: cell physiology (processes in cells), systemic physiology (organ systems), neurophysiology (ns), cardiovascular physiology (heart/blood vessels)
Both A & P they are studied together because they are interwoven and changes in one will affect the other; structure and function are interdependent Ex: pathology ( structural & functional changes caused by disease)
