Question	Answer
is the study of internal and external body Structures and their physical relationships among other body parts	Anatomy
Examines large, visible structures	Gross Anatomy (Macroscopic Anatomy)
Exterior features	Surface Anatomy
Body areas	Regional Anatomy
Cross sections	Sectional Anatomy
Organ system	Systemic Anatomy
Medical specialites	Clinical Anatomy
from conception to death	Developmental Anatomy
examines molecules, cells, and tissues	Microscopic Anatomy
the study of cells and their structures (cyt = cell)	Cytology
the study of tissues and their structures	Histology
is the study of how living organisms perform their vital functions	Physiology
processes within and between cells	Cell physiology
functions of specific organs	Organ physiology
functions of an organ system	Systemic physiology
effects of diseases	Pathological physiology
Why are anatomy and physiology closely related?	The structure (anatomy) of something is integrally related to its function (physiology)

What organ system has these major organs ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, labia, clitoris, and mammary glands?	Female Reproductive System
What organ system has these functions? Protects against environmental hazards. Helps regulate body temperature. Provides sensory information.	Integumentary System
What organ system has these functions? Provides support and protection for other tissues. Stores calcium and other minerals. Forms blood cells.	Skeletal System
What organ system has these functions? Provides movement. Provides protection and support for other tissues. Generates heat that maintains body temperature.	Muscular System
What organ system has these functions? Directs immediate responses to stimuli. Coordinates or moderates activities of other organ systems. Provides and interprets sensory information about external conditions.	Nervous System
What organ system has these functions? Directs long-term changes in the activities of other organ systems. Adjusts metabolic activity and energy use by the body. Controls many structural and functional changes during development.	Endocrine System
What organ system has these functions? Distributes blood cells, water, and dissolved materials including nutrients, waste products, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Distributes heat and assists in control of body temperature.	Cardiovascular System
What organ system has these functions? Defends against infection and diseases. Returns tissue fluids to the bloodstream.	Lymphatic System
What organ system has these functions? Delivers air to alveoli (sites in lungs where gas exchange occurs). Provides oxygen to bloodstream. Removes carbon dioxide from bloodstream. Produces sounds for communication.	Respiratory System
What organ system has these functions? Processes and digests food. Absorbs and conserves water. Absorbs nutrients. Stores energy reserves.	Digestive System
What organ system has these functions? Excretes waste products from the blood. Controls water balance by regulates volume of urine produced. Stores urine prior to voluntary elimination. Regulates blood ion concentrations and pH.	Urinary System
What organ system has these functions? Produces male sex cells (sperm), seminal fluids, and hormones. Sexual intercourse.	Male Reproductive System
What organ system has these functions? Produces female sex cells (oocytes), and hormones. Supports developing embryo from conception to delivery. Provides milk to nourish newborn infant. Sexual intercourse.	Female Reproductive System
A patient presents with a measurable disease such as a fever. Would this be a sign or a symptom?	Sign
A patient presents with a subjective disease indication such as pain or tiredness. Would this be a sign or a symptom?	Symptom
