GNUR 155 Exam IAnatomy - ANS-is the study of the external and internal structures of the body and the
physical relationships between the body (i.e. the careful observation of the human body)
Physiology - ANS-is the study of the function of bodily structures, and we explain
physiological mechanisms in the terms of the underlying anatomy
What are the differences between anatomy and physiology? - ANS-Anatomy is
LOCATION while physiology is FUNCTION
Cytology - ANS-analyzes the internal structure of cells
Histology - ANS-examines tissues
Tissues - ANS-groups of specialized cells and cell products that work together to
perform specific functions
Cells - ANS-smallest units of life
Organ - ANS-an anatomical structure that has multiple functions
Gross Anatomy - ANS-Study of structures that can be seen with the naked eye
Surface Anatomy - ANS-is the study of general anatomical form
Regional Anatomy - ANS-is the study of the superficial and internal features in a specific
area of the body
Systemic Anatomy - ANS-is the study of anatomy based upon the body's organ systems
Organ system - ANS-is a group of organs that function together to produce coordinated
effects
Levels of Structural Organization - ANS-chemical (atomic and molecular level) -->
cellular (smallest living unit in the body) --> tissue (groups of cells and the materials
surrounding them to work together on one task) --> organs (grouping of 2 or more tissue
types into a recognizable structure with a specific function) --> system level collection of
,related organs with a common function, sometimes an organ is part of more than one
system) --> orgasmic level (one living individual)
Function and components of Integumentary System - ANS-protects against
environmental hazards; helps control body temperature
Skin, Hair Follicles, Sweat Glands, Nails, Sensory Receptors, Subcutaneous layer
Function and components of The Skeletal System - ANS-Supports and protects tissues;
stores minerals; forms blood cells
Bones, Cartilages, and Joints, Ligaments, Bone Marrow
Function and components of The Muscular System - ANS-Allows for locomotion
(movement and support), provides heat
Skeletal Muscles, Tendons and Aponeuroses
Function and components of The Nervous System - ANS-Directs immediate responses
to stimuli, usually by coordinating the activities of other organ systems
Central Nervous System, Peripheral Nervous Sysyem
Function and components of The Endocrine System - ANS-Directs long-term changes
in activities of other organ systems
Pineal Gland, Pituitary Gland, Thyroid Gland, Parathyroid Glands, Thymus, Adrenal

dissolved materials, including nutrients, wastes, and gases
Heart, Blood Vessels, Blood
Function and components The Lymphatic System - ANS-Defends against infection and
disease; returns tissue fluid to bloodstream
Lymphatic Vessels, Lymph nodes, Spleen, Thymus
, Function and components of The Respiratory System - ANS-Delivers air to sites where
gas exchange can occur between the air and circulating blood; produces sound
Nasal Cavities and Paranasal Sinuses, Pharynx, Larynx, Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs
Function and components of The Digestive System - ANS-Processes food and absorbs
nutrients
Oral Cavity, Salivary Glands, Pharynx, Esophagus, Stomach, Small Intestine, Liver,
Gallbladder, Pancreas, Large Intestine
Function and components The Urinary System - ANS-Eliminates excess water, salts,
and wastes
Kidneys, Ureters, Urinary Bladder, Urethra
Function and components The Male Reproductive System - ANS-Produces sex cells
and hormones
Testes, Accessory Organs, External Genetalia
Function and components The Female Reproductive System - ANS-Produces sex cells
and hormones; supports embryonic and fetal development from fertilization to birth
Ovaries, Uterine Tubes, Uterus, Vagina, External Genitalia, Mammary Glands
Anatomical Position - ANS-standing with legs together, feet flat on the floor, with the
hands at the sides and palms facing forward
Supine - ANS-when lying face up
Prone - ANS-lying face down
Abdomen - ANS-abdominal
Shoulder - ANS-acromial
Antebrachium - ANS-forearm (antebrachial)
