Correct Answers
What is the science of anatomy?
| | | | |
The study of structure and form
| | | | |
What is macroscopic/gross anatomy?
| | |
The study of large body structures that are invisible to the unaided eye
| | | | | | | | | | | |
-Example: Systemic (structures), regions, surface (external), and
| | | | | | |
comparative
The two main divisions of microscopic anatomy are?
| | | | | | |
cytology and histology
| |
What is microscopic anatomy?
| | |
The study of structures that require magnification to be seen
| | | | | | | | |
-Example: histology (microscopic structure of tissues)
| | | | |
,What is the science of psychology?
| | | | |
The study of function
| | |
What is the relationship between anatomy and physiology?
| | | | | | |
Details of anatomy affect function and the mechanism of physiology
| | | | | | | | | |
depend on structural relationships.
| | |
-Example: chemical messengers have a specific shape which only fit
| | | | | | | | | |
correspondingly shaped receptors | |
what are the main characteristics for living organisms?
| | | | | | |
growth + development, metabolism, responsiveness, regulation,
| | | | | |
reproduction, and organization (complex structure and order) | | | | | |

|
3. nervous
|
4. muscular
|
Describe the organ level
| | |
two or more tissues work together to perform a specific complex
| | | | | | | | | | |
function
