  • What is anatomy?

    Anatomy is the study of the structure, form, and organization of the body and its parts.

  • What is physiology?

    Physiology is the study of the function of body parts and how they work.

  • What is the principle of complementarity of structure and function?

    Structure and function are closely related; the shape of a body part reflects its function.

  • What are the three body planes?

    Sagittal (divides body into left and right), Coronal (frontal) (divides body into front and back), and Transverse (divides body into upper and lower parts).

  • Define anatomical terms: superior, inferior, anterior, and posterior.

    Superior means toward the head, Inferior means toward the feet, Anterior means toward the front, and Posterior means toward the back.

  • What is the standard anatomical position?

    Body standing upright, facing forward, arms at sides with palms facing forward, and feet flat on the floor.

  • What are axial and appendicular regions?

    Axial region includes head, neck, and trunk; Appendicular region includes upper and lower limbs.

  • What are the four tissue types in the human body?

    Epithelium, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.

  • What is a cell?

    The basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms.

  • What are organelles?

    Specialized structures within a cell that perform distinct processes.

  • What is the difference between structure and function?

    Structure refers to the physical makeup, while function refers to the role or job performed.

  • What is meant by 'form reveals function' in anatomy and physiology?

    The shape of a body part is directly related to its function.

  • What is the proximal and distal relative position?

    Proximal means closer to the point of attachment; Distal means farther from the point of attachment.

  • What is the difference between ipsilateral and contralateral?

    Ipsilateral means on the same side; Contralateral means on opposite sides.

  • What are molecules in the context of anatomy?

    Simple molecules like O2, glucose, amino acids, and proteins that make up cells.

  • What is the cell theory?

    All living organisms are composed of one or more cells, and cells are the basic structural and functional units of life.

  • What is the difference between anterior and ventral?

    They both mean toward the front of the body.

  • What is the difference between posterior and dorsal?

    They both mean toward the back of the body.

  • What is the function of tissues?

    Tissues group together to form organs and perform specific functions.

  • What is the importance of body planes in anatomy?

    Body planes divide the body into sections to help describe locations and movements.
