CHAPTER = 1
INTRODUCTION
You are about to
begin the study of one of nature's most wondrous structures — the human body. Anatomy (ah-NAT-o-me) and Physiology (fiz-ee-OL-o-jee) are
branches of biology that are concerned with the form and functions of the body.
Anatomy:
is
the study of body structure,
Physiology: deals with body function,
that is, how the
body parts work to support life. As you learn about the complex interdependence
of Structure and function in the human body, you will become, in a very real
sense, the subject of your own study.
ANATOMY
Anatomy is often defined as the study of the
structure of an organism and the relationships of its parts. The word anatomy
is derived from two Greek words (ana "up," and temos or tomos,
“cutting"). Students of anatomy still learn about the structure of the
human body by literally cutting it apart. This process, called dissection,
remains a principal technique used to isolate and study the structural
components or parts of the human body.
Biology is defined as the study of life.
Both anatomy and physiology are subdivisions of this very broad area of
inquiry. Just as biology can be subdivided into specific areas for study, so
can anatomy and physiology. For example, the term gross anatomy is used to
describe the study of body parts visible to the naked eye. Before the discovery
of the microscope, anatomists had to
study human structure using only the eye during dissection. These early
anatomists could make only a gross or whole, examination. With the use of
modern microscopes, many anatomists now specialize in microscopic anatomy,
including the study of cells, called cytology (sye-TOL-o-jee), and tissues,
called Histology (his-TOL-o-jee). Other branches of anatomy include the study
of human growth and development (developmental anatomy) or the study of
diseased body structures ( pathologicalanatomy).
Definition
of Anatomy:
It is a branch of medical science which
deals with the study of structure of plant andanimal.
Definition Of Human Anatomy:
It is branch of medical science which deals
with the study of structure of different organs and body parts of human.
BRANCHES OF ANATOMY:
1. Gross
anatomy/ Macroscopic:
It is branch of anatomy which deals with
the study of structure of human body parts by naked eye.( mean that without any
microscope or lenses.)
2. Histology:
It is a branch of anatomy which deals with
the study of structure of tissues
