Study Notes
Histology and Cytology
- Histology: the study of tissues
- Cytology: the study of body cells and their internal structure
Systemic Anatomy
- Systemic anatomy: studies the anatomy of each body system
- Regional anatomy: examines structures in a body region
- Surface anatomy: focuses on superficial anatomical markings and internal body structures
- Comparative anatomy: examines anatomical similarities and differences in different species
- Embryology: studies developmental changes from conception to birth
- Pathologic anatomy: examines macroscopic and microscopic anatomical changes resulting from disease
- Radiographic anatomy: investigates internal structures visualized by scanning procedures
Small Intestine Surface Area
- Increasing surface area in the small intestine helps absorption of substances from the small intestine into the blood or lymph
- Three structures increasing surface area: circular folds, villi, and microvilli
Responsiveness
- Responsiveness: the ability to sense and react to stimuli
Metabolism
- Metabolism: the sum of all chemical reactions occurring within the body
Cell Characteristics
- Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, DNA, organelles, ribosomes, metabolism, reproduction, responsiveness to stimuli, homeostasis
Levels of Biological Organization
- Chemical level: atoms, molecules, macromolecules
- Cellular level: cells (basic units of life)
- Tissue level: similar cells performing common functions
- Organ level: multiple tissues working together
- Organ system level: related organs working together
