Introduction to Anatomy Mrs. Frasca
Gross Anatomy The study of the organs, parts, and structures of a body that are visible to the naked eye
Regional Anatomy The study of anatomy by regions Examples: The entire arm The chest cavity The back
Systemic Anatomy The study of anatomy by systems Examples: the entire skeletal system the entire muscular system
Surface Anatomy Study of everything on the surface of the body No dissection or internal images needed
Microscopic Anatomy The study of microscopic structures of the body (tissues and organs) Can only be seen with a microscope Also known as “Histology”
Cellular Anatomy The study of the anatomy of cells within the body Different cells have different structures
Developmental Anatomy The study of structural changes of the body from fertilization to maturity (This is how we know where we “should” be at a certain age)
Embryology The study of a baby from fertilization to birth (This is how we know where a baby “should” be each month of pregnancy)

ACTIVITY (Teacher SLIDE) ACTIVITY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: Knowing all the bones of the body = SYSTEMIC Anatomy of Muscle Tissue = MICROSCOPIC Check-up for a 1 year old= DEVELOPMENTAL Cells of Bone Tissue = CELLULAR, MICROSCOPIC Anatomy of the face (nose, ear, mouth, etc.) = SURFACE The heart = GROSS The respiratory system = SYSTEMIC Ultrasound pictures of a fetus = EMBRYOLOGY Physical for a 5 year old to make sure he/she is growing= DEVELOPMENTAL The arm = REGIONAL, GROSS The leg = REGIONAL, GROSS Studying cancer cells = CELLULAR, MICROSCOPIC The head = REGIONAL, GROSS Physical for a pregnant woman and her soon-to-be baby = EMBRYOLOGY Anatomy of the foot that we can see = GROSS, SURFACE, REGIONAL Testing your Cardiovascular System = SYSTEMIC

Hierarchy of the Human Body The human body is organized in a hierarchy Hierarchy = a system of categorization from big to small, rich to poor, etc. Our body’s hierarchy goes from simple to complex
Hierarchy of the Human Body 6 Levels: Chemical Cellular Tissue Organ Organ System Organism
Hierarchy of Human Body GROUP COMPETITION!!!! Race to stand in order of the body’s hierarchy
