Study Notes
Anatomy Overview
- Examines body structures and their interrelationships.
- Critical for understanding physical organization and function in living organisms.
Branches of Anatomy
- Embryology: Studies the first eight weeks post-fertilization.
- Developmental Biology: Focuses on comprehensive individual development from fertilization onward.
- Cell Biology: Investigates cell structure and function, the foundational unit of life.
- Histology: Analyzes microscopic tissue structures, essential for understanding organ composition.
- Gross Anatomy: Encompasses large structures visible without microscopic aids.
- Systemic Anatomy: Details structures within specific body systems (e.g., nervous, respiratory).
- Regional Anatomy: Investigates particular body areas, like the head and chest.
- Surface Anatomy: Relates external body markings to internal structures using visualization and palpation.
- Radiographic Anatomy: Involves imaging techniques (X-rays, MRI, CT scans) to visualize body structures.
- Pathological Anatomy: Examines structural changes in tissues caused by diseases, covering changes from gross to microscopic level.
Physiology Overview
- Focuses on the functions of body systems and processes.
Branches of Physiology
- Neurophysiology: Explores functional properties and activities of nerve cells.
- Endocrinology: Examines hormonal control over body processes and functions.
- Cardiovascular Physiology: Studies heart operation and blood vessel functionality.
- Immunology: Investigates the body’s defenses against pathogens and disease.
- Respiratory Physiology: Analyzes the mechanics of air passageways and lung function.
- Renal Physiology: Assesses kidney functions and their roles in homeostasis.
- Exercise Physiology: Evaluates physiological changes in cells and organs as a result of physical activity.
- Pathophysiology: Looks at functional changes that occur in diseases and during the aging process.
