Which branch of anatomy studies the structural changes that occur as one ages?

developmental anatomy

Knowledge of this branch of anatomy helps one understand the complex design of the adult human body and helps to explain birth defects

embryology

This is the study of body structures that can be examined with the naked eye-bones, lungs, and muscles for example.

gross anatomy

This is the study of microscopic structures including cells, tissues, and microscopic details of organs.

histology

The pituitary gland, adrenal gland, and other hormone-producing organs all work together to help the body send hormones through the blood stream and respond to internal changes. This is an example of the:

organ system level

This branch of anatomy studies internal body structures by means of MRI, sonography, and other imaging techniques.

radiographic anatomy

The proximal convoluted tubule is a structure within the kidney nephron that plays a significant role in the reabsorption of important products that have been filtered from the blood. One of the key features of this structure is its lining. The cells that line the tubule are responsible for the transport of substances across the membrane. These cells and their collective efforts would be an example of which of the following levels

tissue level
