Document Summary

In anatomy we are worried about what it looks like and how does it work. Studies function rather than structure (i. e. , anatomy) . Anatomy has several levels, bichat only went to the tissue level. Cytosol (fluid), organelles (living) and inclusions (chemicals) Contains genetic material (dna/genotype) that is expressed as phenotype (traits) Cell is very complex and is a very efficient system. The cell has a very special fluid of which it is composed. There is something valuable about dna, it is not inevitable. Function of each cell depends on the type of cell it is. Anatomy and physiology heart, blood vessels and blood (distribution, temp. ) this is the easiest system, we looked at it already. We looked at the heart and how blood circulates through it circulation of blood actually requires a circuit to go through, it starts at one point and ends at the same point again. Tongue, teeth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas (food breakdown for energy)
