1. Anatomical Foundations and Organization

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Anatomy : the scientific study of body structure, including what body parts are made of, where they are located, and how they are arranged in relation to one another

★ Must-know

📌 Anatomy studies structure, whereas physiology studies how those structures function.

  • 🔄 The organizational sequence is:
    1. chemical
    2. cellular
    3. tissue
    4. organ
    5. organ-system
    6. organism

Further detail

  • The four major tissue types are:
    • epithelial tissue
    • connective tissue
    • muscle tissue
    • nervous tissue
