What is Anatomy?
Study of the body’s structure and relationships
What is Anatomy?
Subdivisions
1) Macroscopic Anatomy – The study of gross structure
Macroscopic Anatomy
Divided into two different approaches:
Regional Anatomy where a particular section or area of the body is examined, such as the abdomen.
Systemic Anatomy where a specific structure is studied, such as the digestive system.
Subdivisions
2) Microscopic Anatomy – The study of microscopic structure
Subdivisions
Subdivisions of microscopic anatomy include:Cytology or the
study of the cellsHistology or the
study of tissues
Subdivisions
3) Developmental Anatomy examines the changes is an organism from conception to death.
What is Physiology?
Study of the body’s function or “How does it work?”
What is Physiology?
Study of the body’s function or “How does it work?”
Physiology combines biochemistry, chemistry and physics.
For example: Enzyme ActionpH and ion formationElectrical potential and mechanics
Physiology
Focuses on events and adjustments at the cellular level.

Anatomy & Physiology I
This course will focus on:• Identification of tissues types• Specific function of tissues• Microscopic &Macroscopic structure
of bone, Muscle and Nerves
For Example
You will be able to identify this tissue as cuboidal epithelium. and that its major role is absorption.
For Example
You will be able to identify this as the cervical vertebrae as opposed to the thoracic or lumbar vertebrae and why.
For Example
Understand the mechanism of muscle contraction.
For Example
You will be able to identify the major muscles and groups on the human body.
For Example
You will be able to identify major parts of the human brain and their function
For Example
You will be able to identify the organization of the nervous system
For Example
Other topics will include the endocrine and reproductive systems.
For these topics, you will
