Anatomy & Physiology
Anatomy & Physiology:
Structure & Function
Dr. Gregory Karapetian
Lecture 1
Specialties of Anatomy
Anatomy describes the structures of the body:
What they are made of
Where they are located
Associated structures
Physiology is the study of:
Functions of anatomical structures
Individual and cooperative functions
Specialties of Anatomy
Macroscopic Structure
Gross anatomy, or macroscopic anatomy examines large, visible structures
Ancient Science
Hippocrates 460-377 BC
Father of medicine
Surface anatomy:
Exterior features
Aristotle 384-322 BC
Philosopher, Plato’s student, biologist
Galen 131-201 AD
Physician, surgeon, philosopher
Vesalius 1514-1564
Regional anatomy:
Body areas
Anatomist
Albinus 1697-1770
Anatomist
DaVinci 1452-1519
Anatomical artist
Specialties of Anatomy
Systemic anatomy
Groups of organs working together
Respiratory and cardiovascular systems
Specialties of Anatomy
Microscopic Structure
Examines cells & molecules
Histology
Developmental anatomy

Morphology
Outward appearance of an organism (Structure)
This contrasts physiology, which is primarily function
Comparative embryology
Comparing early stages of development among different organisms
Comparative anatomy
Similarities and differences among species
Pharyngeal
pouches
Humerus
Radius
Ulna
Carpals
Metacarpals
Post-anal tail Phalanges
Chick embryo
Human
Cat
Whale
Bat
Morphology
Human embryo
Specialties of Physiology
Cell physiology
Pathology
Abnormal anatomy – macro and microscopic levels
Processes within and between cells
Special physiology
Functions of specific organs
Systemic physiology
Functions of an organ system
