Question
Answer
Anatomy   Anatomy = ana (apart) tomy (to cut). The science of the structure of living organisms. The study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts.  
🗑
Gross Anatomy   Studying large, easily observable structures (body, heart or bones)  
🗑
Microscopic Anatomy   Structures too small to be seen with the naked eye. (cells, tissues)  
🗑
Physiology   Physiology = physio (nature) ology (the study of). The science of the functioning or living organisms. The study of how the body and its parts work or function.  
🗑
Relationship between Anatomy and Physiology   Structure (anatomy) determines what functions (physiology) that can take place. A given function can only occur if the corresponding structure allows it.  
🗑
LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION:   Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organismal  
🗑
Chemical Level   Atoms combine to form molecules. (glucose) All the chemical reactions that occur in the body and release food energy require oxygen. Is the simplest level of the structural ladder.  
🗑
Cellular Level   Molecules combine to form cells  
🗑
Tissue Level   Consists of groups of similar cells that have a common function - Four basic types epithelial, connective, muscular and neural.  
🗑
Organ (Organismal) Level   Composed of two or more tissue types that perform a specific function.  
🗑
Organ System (systemic) Level   A group of organs that work together to accomplish a common function. (digestive system - esophagus, stomach and intestines.)  
🗑
Organismal Level   Organ systems combine to make up a living body. The highest level.  
🗑
Atom   The smallest part of an element, indivisible by ordinary chemical means.  
🗑
Cell   The basic biological unit of living organisms, containing a nucleus and a variety or organelles enclosed by a limiting membrane.  
🗑
Tissue   A group of similar cells specialized to perform a specific function, primary tissue types are epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous tissues.  
🗑
Organ   A part of the body formed of two or more tissues that performs a specified function. (Stomach) A group of tissues working together for a specific function form an organ.  
🗑
Organ System   A group of organs that work together to perform a common function, they can share organs with other systems, they function together to ensure the wellness of the organism, they act dependently on each other.  
🗑
Organism   An individual living thing. Survival depends on the ability to maintain one's boundaries, to move, respond to stimuli, to reproduce, metabolize, grow, digest food, and excrete wastes.  
🗑
ORGAN SYSTEMS   Integumentary System - SKINSkeletal SystemMuscular SystemNervous SystemEndocrine SystemCardiovascular SystemLymphatic SystemRespiratory SystemDigestive SystemUrinary System Reproductive System  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
