syst...
basis for understanding disease and for how the body works/reacts to stiumulus
systemic anatomy
study of body systems
regional anatomy
study of body regions (how med schools do it)
surface anatomy
study of external features (ex: bone projections)
anatomical imaging
,uses x-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs, CAT scans
Structural Level: chemical
smallest level
ex) atoms: smallest level that displays properties
Structural level; cell
basic unit of life
ex) organelles w/ specialized functions for the cell
Structural level: tissue
group of cells with similar structure and function plus extracellular substance
ex) epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
Structural level: organ
2 or more tissue types
ex) skin, heart, stomach, etc
Structural level: organ system
groups of organs
Structural level: organism
all structural levels working together

Characteristics of life
1) organization: structural levels/coordination
2) metabolism: ability to use energy (dig/resp system); all chemical rxn in body
3) responsiveness (aka irritability): ability to sense changes in environment and make adjustment (shiver
in cold weather)
4) growth: increase in size (constant rebuild/remake bones)
5) development: changes in cell structure/function from generalized to specialized
6) reproduction: formation of new cells/new organisms
Homeostasis
- maintenance of constant internal environment (ex: body temp, BP, HR, BR)
- Variables: conditions that change (ex: enviro temp)
