Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology
- The main focus of anatomy is the study of the form and structure of organisms.
- The branch of biology that deals with the form and structure of organisms is anatomy.
- Anatomy has subdivisions, including regional anatomy, which looks at all structures in a particular area of the body.
- Another subdivision is systemic anatomy, which looks at just one system (cardiovascular, nervous, muscular, etc.).
- Gross or macroscopic anatomy focuses on the study of body structures that can be seen with the naked eye.
Physiology
- Physiology primarily deals with the study of the function of body parts and how they work to carry out life-sustaining activities.
- The main focus of physiology is the study of the function of body parts and how they work to carry out life-sustaining activities.
- A subdivision of physiology often focuses on cellular and molecular levels of the body.
- To study physiology, one must understand anatomy.
Other Key Concepts
- Cytology refers to the study of cells.
- Histology refers to the study of tissues.
- Organs are the level of structural organization that contains two or more types of tissues.
- The blood is responsible for the transport and delivery of oxygen to other body tissues.
- The principle that states function always reflects structure is a fundamental concept in anatomy and physiology.
- Surface anatomy looks at internal structures as they relate to overlying skin, such as visible muscle masses or veins seen on the surface.
- To study anatomy, one must know and be able to identify and describe the structure and organization of the human body.
- Learning and understanding anatomical terminology is important because it provides a common language for communication and helps to accurately describe and identify structures.
