1) What is anatomy and physiology and the different ways to study A&P?
Anatomy structure and location of the body ; Physiology function of the organ.
inspection—simply looking at the body’s appearance, as in performing a
physical examination or making a clinical diagnosis from surface appearance.
Physical examinations also involve touching and listening to the body.
Palpation1 means feeling a structure with the hands, such as palpating a
swollen lymph node or taking a pulse.
Auscultation is listening to the natural sounds made by the body, such as
heart and lung sounds.
Percussion, the examiner taps on the body, feels for abnormal resistance, and
listens to the emitted sound for signs of abnormalities such as pockets of fluid
or air.
dissection the careful cutting and separation of tissues to reveal their
relationships
comparative anatomy—the study of more than one species in order to
examine structural similarities and differences and analyze evolutionary
trends.
2) What are the various branches of anatomy?
Gross anatomy-when your able to see it
Systems anatomy
Surface anatomy-present at the surface
Cross sectional anatomy- when you cut sections in the body and examine it
Regional anatomy- divide the body in certain regions such as thoracic.
Comparative anatomy- study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of
different species
Evolutionary anatomy- when you study the evolution of 1 or more species.
Paleoanatomy- study of bones of caveman
