Week 1 Chapter 1 1. What is the basic difference between anatomy and physiology? (p. 2) ANSWER: Anatomy (a-NAT-ō-mē; ana- = up; -tomy = process of cutting) is the science of structure and the relationships among structures. Physiology (fiz′-ē-OL-ō-jē; physio- = nature, -logy = study of) is the science of body functions, that is, how the body parts work. 2. Define each of the following terms: atom, molecule, cell, tissue, organ, system, and organism. (p. 6) ANSWER: AtomUnit of matter that makes
Bio 204 Basic Anatomy & Physiology Final Exam (Fall 2016) Please use your own words and give examples where necessary. 1. Define homeostasis, and state why it is a central concept for physiology. How does negative feedback differ from positive feedback? (5) Homeostasis is when the internal environment of the body remains relatively constant. It’s the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment that is relative to its surroundings. Negative feedback is when the receptor is triggered the
1) Define anatomy and physiology and describe their subdivisions. - Anatomy studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another. Body structures can be seen, felt, and examined closely. - Gross, or macroscopic, anatomy: Study of large body structures visible to the naked eye, such as the heart, lungs and kidneys. - Regional anatomy, all the structures (muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, etc.) in a particular region of the body, such as the abdomen or leg, are examined
Demography, Environmental Sanitation, Epidemiology, Control of Communicable Diseases, Maternal and Child health , Research Methods, Occupational Health, and Health Services Management module. The Biochemistry and Demography module introduced the basics mathematical models used to study health data. Under this, we covered normal distribution of data and the representation of data on charts and graphs. The Environmental Sanitation module introduces the concept of water and sanitation in the community
cerebrospinal fluid to help prevent injury. The brain is separated into four different parts: the cerebrum, the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum, and the medulla oblongata. The cerebrum is the biggest section of the brain (Understanding the Basic Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Body). There are two sections of the cerebrum, the right and left hemispheres. The right side controls the left side of the body and the left side controls the right side of the body. As well as being the center for thought
Anatomy is to physiology, as geography is to history; it describes the theatre of events. Medical culture that emphasized the study of anatomy through human vivisection peaked in Alexandria in the 3rd century BC, with Herophilus and Erasistratus- the two primary anatomists of the 3rd century- spearheading this movement. Alexandria was the ideal place to study anatomy and physiology during the Hellenistic period since the research was not tied down by civil laws, taboos, or moralism that prevailed
Vascular Lymphatic System/Atherosclerosis Jazmin Fontan Bryant & Stratton College AHLT120: Anatomy and Physiology-1 Dr. Pamela K. Hannaman, MS, ND, CPC, CMRS, CCMA November 18, 2015 Narrowing and hardening of the artery walls causing buildup of fatty tissues (plaque), cholesterol and other substances, which may restrict blood flow is referred to as atherosclerosis. Having restriction of blood flow develops damage to a patients’ organs and also increases the risk of heart attacks
came from the writings of Galen. This is why it was very impactful when Andreas Vesalius challenged Galenic anatomy in 1543.” (Gaynes,80) Galen had never dissected a dead human body before, he only made observations on injured people. He dissected animals and used his findings to infer the anatomical observations he made by looking at injured people. I assume that he inferred that the anatomy of the human body was identical or at the least extremely similar to the animals he dissected. Vesalius came
Anatomy and physiology II Victoria Garcia December 2, 2012 Phagocytosis The coughing, sneezing, vomiting, and the restless nights is a place where we have all been quite a few times; and sometimes it feels like it could be for the last time. What people don’t think about is why all this is happening to them. Little do we know our cells are undergoing just as much trouble as we are; a lot more goes on in the microscopic world than people think. Elie Mitchnikoff could tell you all about this
vivid and realistic works that would appeal to the general masses and involve their interpretational processes in a spontaneous and natural manner. Eskridge (n.d., para. 2) rightly put it as: “Leonardo observed the world closely, studying physiology and anatomy in order to create convincing images of the human form”. The painting dynamics and proportions of linear perspective discovered through the utilization of mathematical inputs, the discovery of the printing press by Gutenberg, the leverage
