BRANCHES 1. gross anatonomy: Looks at body parts without using a microscope. 2. microscopic anatonomy: Uses a microscope to see tiny structures in tissues. 3. developmental anatonomy: Studies how the body changes over time, especially from embryo to adult. 4. embryology anatonomy: Focuses especially on how embryos develop. Ways to study gross anatonomy SYSTEMIC ANATONOMY: Looks at how organs work together in systems. swigi (like the heart and blood vessels) REGIONAL ANATONOMY : Studies specific areas of the body. (like the head and abdomen) physiology WHAT IT IS: Physiology means “study of nature”. It’s about understanding how body structures work. CONNECTION TO ANATONOMY: We study anatonomy and physiology together to understand how body structures work. homeostasis WHAT IT IS: Hemeostasis is about keeping the body’s internal environment stable, even when things outside change. HOW ITS WORK: Do more of what you love When the body’s structures and functions work well together, it maintains together. This balanced manage by: - Control centers: Mainly in the brain. - Hormones: Chemicals released by organs into the blood to help regulate function. Function It Controls: Blood Pressure Body Temperature Breathing Rate Heart Rate
