SUBJECT ORIENTATION

Your classroom instructor for this subject, Anatomy and Physiology - Laboratory, is ____________________________.
(You write in this area the vital policies, rules & regulations to be noted in this class. You may also refer to the Course

MAIN LESSON
You will study and read their book, if available, about this lesson.

Anatomy – the study of the structures of the body.

The word “anatomy” comes from a Greek root that means “to cut apart”

Some specializations of anatomy:

1. Gross Anatomy (also termed as macroscopic anatomy) - study of the larger structures of the body, those visible
without the aid of magnification.
2. Microscopic Anatomy - “micro-small”, study of anatomy that can be only observed through a microscope. (it
includes study such as cytology- study of cells, and histology which is the study of tissues.)

Physiology – the study of the processes and functions of the body.

The body can be studied at six structural levels.

1. Chemical - involves how atoms, such as hydrogen and carbon, interact and combine into molecules.
2. Cell - molecules can combine to form organelles, which are the small structures that make up some cells.
3. Tissue - group of similar cells and the materials surrounding them.
4. Organ - composed of two or more tissue types that together perform one or more common functions.
5. Organ system - group of organs classified as a unit because of a common function or set of functions.
6. Organism - any living thing considered as a whole.
