what is the study of structure and form?(ANS- anatomy
what is physiology?(ANS- the study of function
what is the study of function?(ANS- physiology
what is the relationship between anatomy and physiology?(ANS- structure and function are interrelated bc you cannot understand function without structure
what is cytology?(ANS- study of cells
what is the study of cells?(ANS- cytology
what is histology?(ANS- study of tissues
what is the study of tissues?(ANS- histology
are cytology and histology microscopic or macroscopic?(ANS- microscopic
- / 4
what is systemic anatomy?(ANS- studies functional body systems eg urinary system
what gross anatomy subdivision studies the functional body systems?(ANS- systemic anatomy
what is regional anatomy?(ANS- studies structures in a body region eg axillary region
what gross anatomy subdivision studies structures in a body region?(ANS- regional anatomy
what is comparative anatomy?(ANS- examines similarities and the differences in the anatomy of different species
what gross anatomy subdivision examines and compares the anatomy of different species?(ANS- comparative anatomy
what is surface anatomy?(ANS- focuses on superficial anatomy and internal body structures that relate to it
what gross anatomy subdivision focuses on superficial anatomy?(ANS- surface anatomy
what are some subdivisions of physiology?(ANS- cardio, neuro, reproductive, respiratory
what is pathophysiology?(ANS- investigating the relationship between organ systems and disease/injury
what physiology subdivision investigates the relationship between organ systems and disease/injury?(ANS- pathophysiology 2 / 4
physiology is ______, anatomy is _______ (ANS- function; structure
what is homeostasis?(ANS- refers to the ability of an organism to maintain a consistent internal environment in response to changing external conditions
why is homeostasis important?(ANS- if homeostatic conditions are disrupted, death or disease can occur
what is the ability of an organism to maintain a consistent internal environment in response to changing external conditions?(ANS- homeostasis
what are the three components of homeostasis?(ANS- receptor, control center, effector
what is the body structure that detects a stimulus?(ANS- receptor
what is a receptor?(ANS- body structure that detects a stimulus
give an example of a receptor.(ANS- nerve cells
what interprets input from receptor and initiates changes through the effector?(ANS- control center
what is the control center?(ANS- interprets input from receptor and initiates changes through the effector
give an example of a control center.(ANS- endocrine or nervous system. 3 / 4
what is the structure that brings about change to alter the stimulus?(ANS- effector
what is the effector?(ANS- structure that brings about change to alter stimulus
give an example of an effector.(ANS- muscles/exocrine glands
what is a change in the variable or stretch in muscle?(ANS- stimulus
what is the set point?(ANS- where the variable is maintained within normal levels
what is negative feedback?(ANS- maintains variable within normal limits by moving the stimulus in the opposite direction
give an example of negative feedback.(ANS- temp regulation
what is positive feedback?(ANS- maintains variable within normal limits by amplifying the stimulus in the same direction until climactic event occurs
give an example of positive feedback.(ANS- breastfeeding
which is more typical, positive or negative feedback?(ANS- negative
