Document Summary

The study of the relationship between body parts. Relationship: the anatomical structure of the nasal cavity provides the physiological warming of the inhaled air. The anatomical structure of the muscular portion of the heart allows for the physiological pumping action. Microscopic: cannot be seen without magnification (fine anatomy: cytology: analyzes internal structure of cells ex. Muscle, adipocyte: histology: study of tissues, aka groups of specialized cells. 4 types of tissues epithelial, connective, muscle and neural tissues in combination form organs. Macroscopic: can be seen without magnification (gross anatomy: surface anatomy: morphology, superficial anatomical markings, regional anatomy: all structures in a specific area, special relationships, superficial and deep, systemic anatomy: structure of major organ systems. Cell: the smallest living unit in the body, consists of organelles. Tissue: many cells and some surrounding material, epithelial, muscular, neural, connective. Organ: combination of tissues, for example the heart consists of all the above mentioned tissues. Combination of various organs make up a specific system.
