Study Notes

Anatomy and Physiology

  • Anatomy is the study of body structures and their relationships.
  • It uses dissection, imaging, and Greek terms like "tomy" (cutting) and "ana" (apart).
  • Subdivisions:
    • Gross Anatomy (Macroscopic Anatomy): Study of large structures visible to the naked eye (e.g., heart, bones).
    • Microscopic Anatomy (Cytology and Histology): Study of small structures like cells and tissues.

Physiology

  • Physiology studies how body structures function as a whole.
  • It covers normal adult functions and variations, including genetic variations.
  • Subdivisions:
    • Cell Physiology: Studies the structure and behavior of human cells.
    • Systems Physiology: Studies the overall function of each body system.
    • Pathophysiology: Identifies if any body parts' condition is related to any form of pathology, condition, or sickness/disease.
    • Exercise Physiology: Studies kinetic physiology or body movement.
    • Neurophysiology: Studies the function of the nervous system.
    • Endocrinology: Studies the function of the endocrine system.
    • Cardiovascular Physiology: Studies the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels), including oxygenated blood delivery, hormone/nutrient transport, and waste removal.
    • Immunophysiology: Studies how the immune system affects the body.
    • Respiratory Physiology: Studies gas exchange and its impact on the body.
    • Renal Physiology (Excretion and Reabsorption): Studies the excretory system (kidneys) and how it excretes metabolic waste and regulates fluid balance.
    • Reproductive Physiology: Studies the reproductive system, including offspring creation and secondary sexual characteristics.
