| Question | Answer |
| Physiology | how all the body parts work and carry out |
| Pathological Anatomy | studies structural changes caused by disease |
| Gross/Macroscopic Anatomy | the study of large body structures visible to the naked eye, such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys |
| Microscopic Anatomy | concerns structures too small to be seen with the naked eye. Subdivisions include cytology and histology. |
| Levels of Biological Organization | Chemical, Cell, Tissue, Organ System, Organism |
| Regional Anatomy | all the structures in one particular region of the body, such as the abdomen or leg, are examined at the same time |
| Systematic Anatomy | the gross anatomy of the body is studied in this system |
| Surface Anatomy | the study of internal body structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface |
| Cardiovascular Physiology | explains the operation of the heart and blood vessels |
| Neuro-physiology | explains the working of the nervous system |
| Principle of Complementarity of Structure and Function | the idea that function always reflects structure. So, what a structure can do depends on its specific form |
