1. Define the terms anatomy and physiology. Explain the principle of complementarity and how it applies to this course. The term anatomy refers to the structure of the body and its parts. Along with the study of the body structure‚ anatomy also refers to how these body parts work together and their working relationship as a whole. Physiology is the study of how the living systems in the body function and work. When studying the Physiology of the body it is most understandable if terms from the underlying

An Overview of Anatomy Exercise 1: Anatomical Position QUESTION: A. Explain why it is important to have a universally accepted anatomical position when studying the structure of humans. Having a universally accepted anatomical positional is important to avoid confusion. It creates a reference point so that no matter language or background of different people‚ they can still communicate efficiently. Exercise 2: Surface Anatomy A. Review Figure 3.

BSC2085 Anatomy-Physiology 1 Exam 2 Study Guide‚ Chapters 5 & 6 There are only four primary tissue types found in adult organs; epithelial‚ connective‚ nervous‚ and muscular tissue. Epithelial tissue lines body cavities‚ covers the body surface‚ and forms the lining of many organs. Connective tissue serves in most cases to bind organs to each other. Nervous tissue and muscular tissue are considered excitable tissues because they are very sensitive to outside stimuli. A simple epithelium consists

V. Anatomy and Physiology The Urinary Tract The Urinary System rids the body of nitrogenous wastes while regulating water‚ electrolyte‚ and acid-base balance of the blood. Kidneys Kidneys are small‚ dark red organs with a kidney-bean shape lie against the dorsal body wall in a retroperineal position (beneath the parietal peritoneum) in the superior lumbar region. The kidneys extend from T12 to the L3 vertebra; thus they receive some protection from the lower part of the rib cage. Because

Human Anatomy The word anatomy is derived from greek word ”anatome” which means cutting up. However anatomy does not strictly mean cutting up. Human anatomy is the science which deals with the structure of the human body and for the purpose of studying the structure‚ cutting up a body is necessary. Under the scope of anatomy one studies the theatre in which action is taking place. In other words one can say that anatomy is to physiology as geography is to history. Subdivisions of human anatomy: In
