Anatomy
- Involves studying the structure, development, and interrelations of body parts.
- Approaches to anatomy:
- Systemic Anatomy: Examines body systems (e.g., skeletal, muscular).
- Regional Anatomy: Focuses on specific body areas (e.g., head, abdomen).
- Surface Anatomy: Studies external features and landmarks.
- Anatomical Imaging: Utilizes imaging techniques (e.g., ultrasound, X-rays) to evaluate internal structures.
Physiology
- Explores body functions and processes, helping predict responses to stimuli and maintain homeostasis.
