 Anatomy  Gaining knowledge by dissection  Physiology  Study of the function of body parts/systems

1. Gross Anatomy  Study of large structures (Observation, Dissection) 2. Microscopic Anatomy  Use of microscopes to study anatomy 3. Developmental Anatomy  Study of the growth & development of an organism during its lifetime 4. Comparative Anatomy  Study of similarities / differences from humans to other animals 5. Systematic Anatomy  Study of organs within a particular system

1. Anterior (Ventral) - front 2. Posterior (Dorsal) – back 3. Cranial – skull/head 4. Caudal – tail end 5. Superior – upper / above another 6. Inferior – lower / below another 1. Medial – toward the middle 2. Lateral – toward the side 3. Proximal – toward the point of attachment 4. Distal – away from the point of attachment 5. Superficial – near the surface 6. Deep – deeper than the surface; involving internal organs

 Homeostasis  Body’s ability to regulate itself internally  Example = blood sugar levels / body temperature / heart rate  Metabolism  Sum of all chemical reactions in the cell  Nutrients changed into energy

 Muscular System = Movement  Digestive System = Ingestion/Digestion/Synthesis  Circulatory System = Transport  Respiratory System = Respiration  Skeletal System = Growth  Endocrine System = Secretion  Urinary System = Excretion  Nervous System = Regulation/Sensitivity  Reproductive System = Reproduce
