BIOL 212 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Meiosis, Surface Anatomy, Radiography
Document Summary
Gross anatomy - seen with the naked eye: regional anatomy - study of the head, thorax, leg, etc, *systemic anatomy - study 11 body systems separately, surface anatomy - study of superficial anatomy. Reflects evolutionary changes: radiographic anatomy - study of anatomical structures through specific visualization tools (with body intact). Often used as a diagnostic tool: x-rays, ct, nmr, mri, etc. [molecular (chemical) level --> *cellular level* --> tissue level] -- > organ level --> (organ) system level --> organism level (when all 11 systems come and work together: all 11 body systems are necessary. Common characteristics shared by all organisms (pg 6-7: 1. Ability of a cell to respond to changes in the environment: 2. When cells increase in size (hypertrophy: b. When organism increases in size (increasing cell numbers: c. multi-cellular organisms have cells that will eventually differentiate to perform specialized functions, 3. When a single cell divides into 2 or more cells: b.
