Human Anatomy and Physiology-Introduction.pdf

J
Jackson Achankunju

This document provides an overview of human anatomy and physiology. It defines anatomy as the study of the structure of body parts and their relationships, and physiology as the study of the function of the body's organs. It also lists some key terms like regional anatomy and developmental anatomy. Overall, the document outlines the basic scope and branches of anatomy and physiology, emphasizing that structure and function are interrelated in the human body.

Anatomy -The study of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another. Physiology -The study of the function of living organisms. 15
Interdependence of Anatomy and Physiology Structure and function are interrelated The function of a structure implies that function is dependent upon structure Anatomy and physiology are truly inseparable sciences In architecture form follows function A description of anatomy is followed by an explanation of its function, the structural characteristics contributing to that physiologic function 16
Branches of Anatomy Gross Anatomy The study of large body structures visible to the naked eye Regional Anatomy The study of all structures (blood vessels, nerves, muscles) located in a particular region of the body Systemic Anatomy The gross anatomy of the body system by system Surface Anatomy The study of internal body structures as they relate to the overlying skin Microscopic Anatomy The study of structures too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope Developmental Anatomy The study of changes in an individual from conception to old age 17
Branches of Anatomy Embryology The study of the developmental changes that occur before birth 18
Specialized Branches of Anatomy Pathological anatomy The study structural changes in cells, tissues, and organs caused by disease Radiographic anatomy The study of internal body structures by means of x-rays and imaging techniques Functional morphology The study of functional properties of body structures and efficiency of design 19
