Cytology is the study of cells based off of their function and how they are
constructed
Ultrastructure is fine detail revealed with an electron microscope
Comparative anatomy is commonly used by both students and professionals to
compare the anatomy of humans to other species so that we may understand the
evolutionary similarities we share and how we differ
Inspection is one of the ways to study the human body and focuses on looking at
how the body appears
Palpation is the process of touching and feeling such as a structure like a lymph
node or a pulse
Auscultation is the process of listening to what the body says in its natural sounds,
for examples: a heart beat
Percussion is when someone examining a body listens and feels for abnormal
resistance when they tap on a body, the sounds can reveal abnormalities
developing inside the person
Dissections are how we understand how the body functions by separating tissues
to show how they work together
Exploratory surgery is now no longer as common since it is an invasive and risky
procedure that cuts into the body to try to find out what is wrong with the patient
Medical imaging is how we view the insides of a person without using
exploratory surgery
