Question
Answer
Anatomy   studys the structures or form  
🗑
divisions of the study of anatomy   cytology, histology, gross anatomy, developmental, and systematic  
🗑
cytology   examining the cells  
🗑
histology   study of the tissues  
🗑
gross anatomy   large objects that can be seen w/o a microscope  
🗑
developmental   how orangisms change from conception to adult  
🗑
systemic   study of systems  
🗑
Three types of anatomy   regional, surface, and anatomical  
🗑
regional anatomy   studying all aspects and systems in one region of the body  
🗑
surface anatomy   studying external features and how they relate to internal structures  
🗑
anatomical imaging   mri, ultrasound, and ct scan...  
🗑
physiology   study of the functions of living organisms  
🗑
levels of organization of the body   chemical, organelle, cellular, tissues, organs, systems, and organism  
🗑
chemical   atoms combine to produce molecules(enzymes)  
🗑
organelle   molecules combine to produce specialized structures in cells(endoplasmic reticulum)  
🗑
cellular   the baasic unit of living organisms cary out vital tasks within an organism  
🗑
tissues   groups of differnt cells  
🗑
organs   groups of different tissues which perform a function  
🗑
systems   groups of organs with common functions  
🗑
organism   the whole thing  
🗑
characteristics of life   organization, metabolism, responsiveness, growth and development, reproduction, and waste disposal  
🗑
metabolism   the sum of all chemical reactions (anabolism and catabolism)  
🗑
responsiveness   homeostasis  
🗑
growth and development   morphogenesis (growing and developing together  
🗑
homeostasis   a steady state or balance within an acceptable rance in the internal environment in the body  
🗑
control systems   nervous and endocrine  
🗑
negative feedback componenets   receptor, integrator, and effector  
🗑
receptor   sensor that senses the conditions in the body  
🗑
integrator   the controller that compares values recieved from the sensor with the normals  
🗑
effector   the part of the body that causes the response to bring value back to set point  
🗑
variable   causes a change in the internal environment of the body  
🗑
response   the reaction that comes from what the effector did  
🗑
positive feedback   not a part of homeostasis. it increases the effet of the stimulus which accelerats the processes that are already in motion. Usuallly only used when a rapid change is desired.  
🗑
superior   above  
🗑
inferior   below

🗑
mediastinum   divides thoracic cavity into right and left sides  
🗑
serous membranes   cover the organs and lines the cavities  
🗑
visceral   covers the organs  
🗑
parietal   lines the cavities  
🗑

🗑
pericardial   heart  
🗑
peritoneal   abdominal cavity  
🗑
