Human Anatomy Exam 1
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Gross Anatomy | What you can see with a naked eye |
| Radiologic Anatomy | Things you can see through images |
| Comparative Anatomy | Comparing species |
| Histology | Study of tissues and cells |
| Histopathy | Study of disease in cells |
| Cytology | Study of cells |
| Embryology | Study of human development until birth |
| Inspection | Visual examination of the body |
| Pulpation | Using hands to feel the body |
| Ascultation | Listening to the internal sounds of the body |
| Percussion | Taping and listening to the body |
| Surgery | Surgery |
| Medical Imaging | Looking in the inside without opening the body |
| Radiograph (X-ray) | Adv.-Cheap, widely available, good for looking at bones. Dis.- Uses radiation, don't x-ray the reproductive parts |
| Digital subtraction angiogram (DSA) | Adv.- Looks at blood vessels, puts in glowing stuff to see better. Dis.- You can't use it to see bones or tissues |
| Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) | Adv.- Looks for soft tissue injuries, doesn't use radiation. Dis.- You can wear metal or it will get ripped out. Also, not for looking at bones. |
| Computed Tomography (CT Scan) | Adv.-Captures your body from all sides. Dis.- It is a x-ray that uses radiation |
| Position Emission Tomography (PET Scan) | Adv.- Used to look for cancer, highlights activities from tumors. Dis.-It exposes you to a small out of radiation. |
| Sonography (Ultrasound) | Adv.-Cheap, no radiation, looks at babies, Dis.-Not good for looking at bones |
