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.
