BSC2085 Midterm Review UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Homeostasis process by maintaining a stable & steady internal environment ("staying normal")
Anatomy the study of STRUCTURE of tissues or organs
Physiology the study of FUNCTION of tissues or organs.
What is the relationship anatomy and physiology? anatomy determines/equals structure
What are the two types of anatomy? Macroscopic (gross) anatomy and microscopic anatomy
Macroscopic (Gross) anatomy anatomy that CAN be seen with the unaided eye
Microscopic Anatomy anatomy that CANNOT be seen with the unaided eye
The levels of organization chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
Negative feedback primary mechanism of homeostatic regulation that OPPOSES or negates the
original stimulus and MAINTAINS homeostasis. Goes the OPPOSITE direction.
Positive feedback Stimulus produces a response that EXAGERATES or ENHANCES the original
change that does NOT RESTORE homeostasis. Goes the SAME direction.
Anatomical Position when a person stands up straight & faces forward, hands by side with palms facing
up, feet together, and toes pointing forward. This position is the starting point in
anatomy and makes things more universal.
What are the three body planes? transverse, sagittal, coronal (frontal)
Transverse plane a horizontal plane that divides the body into a top and a bottom
Sagittal Plane vertical plane that divides the body into a left and a right
Coronal or Frontal plane plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts
What divides the thoracic cavity from the abdominopelvic The diaphram
cavity?
Superior towards the head or upper body
Inferior Towards the feet/ lower body
Anterior front surface of the body
, Ventral front surface of the body (belly side)
Posterior back surface of the body
Dorsal back surface of the body
Supine lying on back (laying on spine)
Prone sleeping on tummy
Medial towards the midline
Lateral away from the midline
