Study Notes
Anatomy
- Anatomy is the study of the body's structures.
- Gross Anatomy focuses on structures visible without magnification.
- Microscopic Anatomy focuses on structures needing magnification to be seen, such as cells and tissues (cytology and histology).
- Regional Anatomy examines the interconnectedness of all structures in a specific body region, like the abdomen.
- Systemic Anatomy studies structures that form a specific body system (group of structures working together for a function), like the muscular system.
Physiology
- Physiology is the study of how the body functions, encompassing the chemistry and physics of body structures.
- A key focus in physiology is homeostasis, the maintenance of stable internal conditions.
- Physiology often involves laboratory experiments to study the functions of structures and chemical compounds.
- Neurophysiology, a branch of physiology, focuses on the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, and how they function.
- Form and function are interconnected in all living things. The structure of a part directly affects its function.
