- 1What is the difference between Anatomy and Physiology?Anatomy is the study of structure
Physiology is the study of function - 2What does microscopic anatomy study?Structures too small to be seen with the unaided eye - cytology & histology
- 3What does gross anatomy study?Structures that can be seen with the unaided eye
- 4What are the 9 approaches to gross anatomy?Comparative - similarities and differences across species
Developmental - structural changes from conception through maturity
Embryology - developmental changes occurring prior to birth
Regional - study of structures within a single region
Surface - study of internal structures as their locations relation to regions of skin or other surface markings
Systemic - study of structures involved with a specific activity
Pathologic - anatomic changes due to disease
Radiographic - study of structures visualized by medical imaging procedures
Surgical - study anatomical landmarks used before and after surgery - 5What is the structural organization of the body?Chemical (atoms, molecules)
Cells (smallest living)
Tissues
Organs
Organ Systems
Organism - 6What are the 7 characteristics of living organisms?Organization, Metabolism, Growth & Development, Responsiveness, Adaptation, Regulation, Reproduction
- 7What are the 11 Organ Systems?Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Reproductive
- 8—Integumentary System:
Provides protection, regulates body temperature, site of cutaneous receptors, synthesizes vitamin D, prevents water loss
- 9—Skeletal System:
Provides support and protection, site of hemopoiesis, stores calcium and phosphorus, provides sites for muscle attachments
- 10—Muscular System:
Provides body movement, generates heat when muscles contract
- 11—Nervous System:
A regulatory system that controls body movement, responds to sensory stimuli, helps control all other systems of the body. Also responsible for consciousness, intelligence, and memory
- 12—Endocrine System:
Consists of glands and cell clusters that secrete hormones, some of which regulate body and cellular growth, chemical levels in the body, and reproductive functions
- 13—Cardiovascular System:
Consists of the heart (a pump), blood, and blood vessels; the heart moves blood through blood vessels in order to distribute hormones nutrients, and gases, and pick up waste products
- 14—Lymphatic System:
Transports and filters lymph and initiates an immune response when necessary
- 15—Respiratory System:
Responsible for exchange of gases between blood and air in lungs
- 16—Digestive System:
Mechanically and chemically digests food materials, absorbs nutrients, and expels waste products
- 17—Urinary System:
Filters blood and removes waste products from the blood, concentrates waste products in the form of urine, and expels urine from the body
- 18—Male Reproductive System:
Produces male sex cells (sperm) and male hormones; transfers sperm to female
- 19—Female Reproductive System:
Produces female sex cells (oocytes) and female hormones, receives sperm from male, site of fertilization of oocyte, site of growth and development of embryo and fetus, and produces and secretes breast milk for nourishment of newborn

- 21What is the difference between a section and a plane?A section is the result of a cut or slice of a specimen
