VENUS ANATOMY ENDOCRINOLOGY Study of the structure and shape of the parts and Study of hormones (chemical regulators in the their relationships to one another blood) and how they control body functions TYPES OF ANATOMY CARDIOVASCULAR PHYSIOLOGY GROSS (MACROSCOPIC) ANATOMY Study of the function of the heart and blood vessels Study of large, easily detectable body structures IMMUNOLOGY Ex: heart or bones Study of body defense mechanisms MICROSCOPIC ANATOMY RESPIRATORY PHYSIOLOGY Study of very small structures of the body requiring Study of the function of the air passages and the a microscope lungs Ex: Histology (study of tissues) RENAL PHYSIOLOGY Cytology (study of cells) Study of renal function SURFACE ANATOMY LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION Study of the form (morphology) and workings of the A. LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL COMPLEXITY body surface CHEMICAL LEVEL SYSTEMIC ANATOMY o Simplest level of the structural complexity Study of the specific systems of the body o Atoms (tiny building blocks of matter) combines to form molecules (water, sugar, REGIONAL ANATOMY proteins) Study of the specific region of the body o Association of molecules to form cells RADIOGRAPHIC ANATOMY CELLULAR LEVEL Study of a specific structure of the body that involves o Cells are the smallest units of all living life the use of x-ray o Individual cells vary widely in size and shape, reflecting this particular function in the body DEVELOPMENTAL ANATOMY TISSUE LEVEL Study of development from the fertilized egg to adult form Consists of groups of similar cells that have common functions PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY ORGAN LEVEL Study of structural changes (from gross to microscopic) associated with disease A structure composed of 2 or more tiers that perform a specific function for the body PHYSIOLOGY ORGAN SYSTEM LEVEL Study of the function of the body or body parts Groups of organs that cooperate to accomplish a TYPES OF PHYSIOLOGY common purpose CELL PHYSIOLOGY ORGANISMAL LEVEL Study of cell function o The living body is made of 11 organ systems o Highest level of structural organization PATHOPHYSIOLOGY B.
