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

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
