Study Notes
Anatomy
- Anatomy is a scientific discipline investigating the body's structures, including the shape and size of bones.
- Developmental Anatomy focuses on structural changes from conception to adulthood, encompassing various stages of growth.
- Embryology studies changes occurring from conception to the end of eight weeks of development.
- Cytology examines structural features of cells.
- Histology studies tissues, which consist of cells and their surrounding materials.
- Gross Anatomy analyzes structures visible without a microscope, approached either systemically or regionally.
- Regional Anatomy investigates specific areas of the body, while Systemic Anatomy studies different organ systems.
- Surface Anatomy involves visualizing deeper body structures through external examination.
- Anatomical Anomalies refer to physical characteristics that deviate from normal patterns.
Physiology
- Physiology is the science of normal functions of living systems, focusing on understanding and predicting body responses to stimuli.
- It examines how the body maintains internal conditions within narrow ranges despite changing external environments.
- Physiological studies often target systems rather than specific regions, recognizing that many functions span multiple areas.
- Cell Physiology studies processes within individual cells.
- Systemic Physiology investigates the functions of entire organ systems.
- Neurophysiology specifically focuses on the nervous system's functions.
- Cardiovascular Physiology pertains to the heart and blood vessels and their functions.
Interrelationship of Anatomy and Physiology
- Studies of the human body must integrate both anatomy and physiology, as structures and functions are closely interwoven and affect one another.
