Human anatomy is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the human body.Anatomy is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy (histology) Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy‚ regional anatomy‚ or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by the naked eye. Microscopic anatomy involves the use of microscopes to study minute anatomical structures‚ and is the field of histology which studies the organization of tissues at all levels‚ from

Physiology Assignment After searching for a couple of days and still being unsure of what I was going to write about I turned and was watching my fish in my fish tank and realized that was what I would do it on. Then I realized that I spend many hour throughout the week watching my fish swim around‚ it is almost therapeutic. I found that the anatomy and physiology of a fish is very unique so that they can exist in the different underwater environments. In this paper we will cover their circulatory

Unit 2 Lecture Study Guide – 1) What are the parts of an atom? Where are the subatomic particles found? a) Protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons b) Protons and neutrons are located in the center of an atom in the nucleus and the electrons are located around the nucleus. 2) How does the Atomic Mass # differ from the Atomic #? The atomic mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an element and the atomic number is the number of protons that it has. 3)

Physiology‚ Exercise and Performance Sports Injuries Injuries in sport are a very common occurrence and vary widely between athletes across the world. With different sports come different injuries specific to that sport‚ they can vary in severity that can be from small pains and aches keeping the athlete out for a very short period of time or an injury which may keep them out for many months‚ and on occasions years. Common injuries include bruises‚ sprains‚ strains‚ joint injuries and nose bleeds
