Question 1

What is human anatomy?

Answer 1

The study of structure is arranged by its level (hierarchy) organization

• Gross Anatomy is the study by inspection –organs and major structures
• Histology is the study of the tissues and cells that make up the organs
• Cytology is the study of cell structure of particular cell types
• Molecular Biology is the study of the molecules that make up the organism

Question 2

What is human physiology?

-

Answer 2

The Study of Function is arranged by the various sorts of function

• Morphology is the study of shape related to function. “The heart is shaped as a pump.”
• Embryology is the study of development. How organisms arise from primordial cells.
• Biochemistry is the study of all chemical interactions in an organism.
• Pathology is the study of how homeostasis is not maintained in an organism.

Answer 3

TBD

Question 4

What is the difference between histology and cytology

Answer 4

Histology is the study of the tissues and cells that make up the organs and Cytology is the study of cell structure of particular cell types

Question 5

Positive feedback loops,

Answer 5

This mechanism is less common, reinforcing and magnifying the change rather than reversing it.​ The best example is the blood clotting mechanism. It is initiated by small blood elements called platelets that release their contents into the blood, producing a cascade effect that rapidly increases the size and rate of formation of the clot.
