BLG 10A/B Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Histology, Gross Anatomy, Concurrent Versions System
Document Summary
Anatomy can be subdivided into -1) gross 2) microscopic. Gross (macroscopic) anatomy = structure visible to the naked eye: looking at pts or cadavers- you are using gross anatomy for the assessment. Microscopic anatomy = structure that require a microscope in order to be seen: require the use of light microscope ie: stained cells, fixated tissue. Cytology = examines the cells of the body: using a microscope. Developmental anatomy = structural changes that occur over life time. Embryology = developmental changes that occur in the early states before birth. Structure and function are related to each other. Chemical atoms that combine to form molecules and associate to form organelles (small parts of cells: forming proteins, organelles that provide a specific fxn. Organs = composed of at least two different tissue and performs specialized functions: made up of 2 or more of the aforementioned tissues develops own fxn.
