Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Anatomy is the study of the internal and external structure of the body. Anatomy is the study or knowledge of the structure and location of the organs of the organism while physiology is the knowledge of how those organs function in the organism. In addition, anatomy also aims to study the functioning and structuring of organs and other parts of the human body.

Answer to Problem 1DYKB

Correct Answer: (b) surface anatomy.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option (b) Surface anatomy

Surface anatomy is the study of the structure of an organism externally or superficially. They relate to the internal organ with respect to the external body structure.

The explanation for the incorrect answer:  

Option (a) Regional anatomy

As the name suggests, regional anatomy is studying a specific region of the body that is under-diagnosis. If a patient is under trauma, then the part that is affected because of the trauma will be studied and diagnosed.

Option (b) Pathologic anatomy

When there is a change in a region of the body due to disease the study of the anatomy is called pathologic anatomy. It occurs after the body is affected.

Option (d) Comparative anatomy

The comparison of the anatomy of the different organisms is called comparative. It can be superficial or it can be the internal anatomy of the body of the organisms.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
