C. Reproduction – Organisms reproduce, creating subsequent generations of similar organisms

D. Movement – Organisms are capable of movement

a. Internal – moving food, blood, or other materials internally b. External – moving through environment

E. Metabolism – Organisms rely on complex chemical reactions to provide the energy for responsiveness, growth, reproduction and movement. Refers to all chemical operations under way in the body.

Define Anatomy and physiology, and describe the various specialties within each discipline

Anatomy – the study of internal and external structures and the physical relationship between body parts.

Physiology – the study of how living organisms p0erform the vital functions.

Microscopic Anatomy – study of structures that can not be seen by the naked eye.

Cytology – analyzes the internal structure of individual cells. Histology – the study of tissues

Gross Anatomy – considers features visible with the unaided eye.

Surface Anatomy – refers to the study of general form and superficial markings. Regional anatomy – considers all of the superficial and internal features in a specific region of the body. Systemic Anatomy – considers structures of the major organ systems.

Human Physiology – study of functions of human body

Cell Physiology – study of functions of living cells

Special Physiology – study of the physiology of specific organs

System Physiology – considers all aspects of the function of specific organ systems

Pathological physiology (Pathology) – studies the effects of disease on organ or syst4m functions
