15.  Anatomy -The study
of the structure of
body parts and their
relationships to one
another.
 Physiology -The
study of the function
of living organisms.

16. Interdependence of Anatomy and
Physiology
 Structure and function are interrelated
 The function of a structure implies that function is
dependent upon structure
 Anatomy and physiology are truly inseparable
sciences
 In architecture “form follows function”
 A description of anatomy is followed by an
explanation of its function, the structural
characteristics contributing to that physiologic
function

17. Branches of Anatomy
Gross Anatomy
The study of large body
structures visible to the
naked eye
Regional Anatomy
The study of all structures
(blood vessels, nerves,
muscles) located in a
particular region of the
body
Systemic Anatomy
The gross anatomy
of the body system
by system
Surface Anatomy
The study of internal body
structures as they relate to
the overlying skin
Microscopic Anatomy
The study of structures too
small to be seen without the
aid of a microscope
Developmental Anatomy
The study of changes in an
individual from conception
to old age

18. Branches of Anatomy
 Embryology
 The study of the developmental changes that
occur before birth

19. Specialized Branches of Anatomy
 Pathological anatomy
 The study structural changes in cells, tissues, and
organs caused by disease
 Radiographic anatomy
 The study of internal body structures by means of
x-rays and imaging techniques
 Functional morphology
 The study of functional properties of body
structures and efficiency of design

21. Structural Organization
 Chemical Level
 At the chemical
level atoms
combine to form
small molecules
(CO2 and H2O) and
larger macro
molecules
