RCBC A&P 1 QUIZ UNIT SHEET AND RIGHT
KNOWLEDGE 2026 MAIN LESSON AID PASS
CERTAIN
◍ regional anatomy. Ans: specific regions of the body such as the
head or chest
◍ systemic anatomy. Ans: study of organs working together
◍ microscopic anatomy. Ans: deals with structures too small to be
seen with the naked eye
◍ cytology. Ans: study of cells
◍ histology. Ans: study of tissues
◍ key concept that explains why anatomy and physiology are best
studied together. Ans: the principle of complementarity of structure
and function
◍ list the levels of structural organization from smallest to largest.
Ans: Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, Organismal
, ◍ necessary life functions. Ans: maintaining boundaries, movement,
responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, excretion, reproduction,
growth
◍ survival needs of the body. Ans: nutrients (food), oxygen, water,
appropriate temperature/atmospheric pressure
◍ 11 systems of the body. Ans: Circulatory, Digestive, Endocrine,
Excretory, Integumentary, Lymphatic, Muscular, Nervous,
Reproductive, Respiratory, Skeletal
◍ integumentary system. Ans: Consists of the skin, mucous
membranes, hair, and nail
◍ skeletal system. Ans: creates framework of the body, protects
internal organs, produces blood cells, acts as levers for muscles. Ex:
bones and cartilage, provide for organ attachment
◍ muscular system. Ans: consists of skeletal muscles, tendons that
connect muscles to bones, and ligaments that attach bones together to
form joint
◍ nervous system. Ans: Brain, nerve cells, spinal cord
◍ endocrine system. Ans: glands that secrete hormones to regulate
processes such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism
, ◍ cardiovascular system. Ans: transport system responsible for
carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body and carrying away carbon
dioxide and other wastes; composed of the heart, blood vessels, and
blood
◍ lymphatic system. Ans: Composed of a network of vessels, ducts,
nodes, and organs. Provides defense against infection.
◍ respiratory system. Ans: A system of organs, functioning in the
process of gas exchange between the body and the environment,
consisting especially of the nose, nasal passages, nasopharynx, larynx,
trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
◍ digestive system. Ans: Breaks down food into absorbable units
that enter the blood for distribution to body cells
◍ urinary system. Ans: Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body.
Regulates water, electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood.
◍ reproductive system. Ans: organ system responsible for producing,
storing, and delivering gametes
◍ homeostasis. Ans: the ability to maintain relatively stable internal
conditions despite changes in the outside environment
◍ 5 aspects to maintaining homeostatic balance. Ans: stimulus,
receptor, input, output, response
, ◍ negative feedback mechanisms. Ans: the output shuts off the
original effect of the stimulus or reduces its intensity to cause the
variable to change in direction opposite to that of the initial change;
ex. sweating to cool off the body
◍ positive feedback mechanisms. Ans: feedback that tends to cause a
variable to change in the same direction as the initial change,
enhances the stimulus; ex. labor contractions increase
◍ homeostatic imbalance. Ans: disturbance in homeostasis; occurs
when the usual negative feedback mechanisms are overwhelmed and
destructive positive feedback mechanisms take over; often results in
disease
◍ anatomical position. Ans: body facing forward, feet are parallel to
each other, arms are at he sides with the palms facing forward
◍ directional terms. Ans: terms used to explain where one body
structure is in relation to another
◍ axial body. Ans: runs right down the center (axis) and consists of
everything except the limbs, meaning the head, neck, thorax (chest
and back), abdomen, and pelvis
◍ appendicular body. Ans: consists of appendages, otherwise known
as upper and lower extremities
