BSC 2093 Exam 1 Test Questions with
Actual Answers.
Anatomy - Answer The study of body structure
Physiology - Answer The study of body function
Subdivisions of Anatomy - Answer Gross or macroscopic
-regional, surface, systemic
Microscopic
-cytology
-histology
Developmental
-embryology
Gross Anatomy - Answer Study of large body structures that can be seen with the naked eye
(heart, lungs, kidney, etc.)
Regional Anatomy (gross anatomy) - Answer specific regions of the body such as the head or
chest
Systemic Anatomy (gross anatomy) - Answer body structure is studied system by system
Surface Anatomy (gross anatomy) - Answer the study of internal structures as they relate to
the overlying skin surface
Microscopic Anatomy - Answer deals with structures too small to be seen with the naked eye
Cytology (microscopic anatomy) - Answer study of the cells of the body
Histology (microscopic anatomy) - Answer study of tissues of the body
Developmental Anatomy - Answer traces structural changes that occur in the body
throughout the life span
, Embryology (developmental anatomy) - Answer study of developmental changes of the body
before birth
Renal Physiology - Answer concerns kidney function and urine production
Neurophysiology - Answer explains the workings of the nervous system
Cardiovascular Physiology - Answer examines the operation of the heart and blood vessels
Anatomy provides - Answer static image of the body's architecture
Physiology reveals - Answer the body's dynamic and animated workings
Complementarity of Structure and Function - Answer function always reflects structure;
what a structure can do depends on its specific form
Structural Organization of the Body - Answer -chemical level
-cellular level
-tissue level
-organ level
-organ system level
-organismal level
chemical level of organization - Answer -atoms (tiny building blocks of matter) combine to
form molecules, ie. water and proteins
-molecules form to make organelles, which are the basic components of cells
cellular level of organization - Answer includes cells, the smallest living units in the body
tissue level of organization - Answer collections of cells that function together for a specific
task/function
organ level of organization - Answer tissues form to create; extremely complex functions
become possible
