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

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Chronic Kidney Disease Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system is sometimes called the circulatory system. It consists of the heart‚ which is a muscular pumping device‚ and a closed system of vessels called arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries. As the name implies‚ blood contained in the circulatory system is pumped by the heart around a closed circuit of vessels as it passes again and again through the various "circulations" of the body.

child‚ I knew I had a strong interest in becoming something in the medical field. Anatomy has always been a very important factor to have in my life because of all the things I’ve witnessed growing up in a place where there was no one educated enough to help out. Thus‚ I took the Anatomy and Physiology course provided at my school. Taking this class informed me of the structure and functions of the body parts in the human system such as the Immune and Digestive system‚ which can affect pregnant women

Equipment Calibration is defined as the act of adjusting and evaluating the precision and accuracy of measured equipment. It allows the user to get an accurate and precise reading of measurements to its actual true value. However‚ in order for the experiment to be effective is must consist of validity‚ reliability‚ and objectivity. Validity is defined as the ability of a test to measure what it claims to measure. Reliability is the consistency of test results and objectivity is defined as a test

Anatomy and Physiology are probably 2 of many different sciences necessary for the best understanding of the human body and how it functions. So I believe that in order to compare two things‚ you need to explain what each are first. ANATOMY is the study of the human body. It can also be defined as being the study of how various parts of the body interact and work together. PHYSIOLOGY is the study of how living organisms function. That includes nutrition‚ movement‚ and reproduction. So you are pretty

Interest in the human body and how it functions probably developed when our ancestors began to think about the reasons why people became ill and died. All earlier cultures had someone designated as a healer who was responsible for finding plants and herbs that cured body disorders. This healer also was responsible for praying or invoking the assistance of past ancestors to help in the healing process. As cultures developed and science began to evolve‚ interest in and knowledge about the human body advanced
