HUMAN ANATOMY PHYSIOLOGY REVIEW
EXAMS SET QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
SURE A+
✔✔Parietal Serosa - ✔✔lines internal body walls
✔✔Visceral Serosa - ✔✔covers the internal organs
✔✔Abdominopelvic Regions - ✔✔Nine divisions used primarily by anatomists
✔✔What is anatomy? - ✔✔the study of structure
✔✔What is physiology? - ✔✔the study of function at many levels
✔✔What is gross or macroscopic anatomy? - ✔✔the study of large body parts, visible to
the naked eye
✔✔What is regional anatomy? - ✔✔the study of all the structures in a particular region
of the body.ex: abdomen or legs
✔✔What is systemic anatomy? - ✔✔the study of body systems such as the
cardiovascular system
, ✔✔What are the 3 different subdivisions of gross or macroscopic anatomy? -
✔✔regional, systemic, and surface anatomy
✔✔What is surface anatomy? - ✔✔the study of internal structures as they relate to the
overlying skin surface
✔✔What are 2 subdivisions of study for microscopic anatomy? - ✔✔cytology (cells) and
histology (tissues)
✔✔What can be studied within developemental anatomy? - ✔✔embryology (changes
occurring before birth)
✔✔What are some subdivisions of physiology? - ✔✔renal physiology (operation of
kidney), neurophysiology, and cardiovascular physiology
✔✔What is the principle of complementarity? - ✔✔anatomy and physiology are
inseparable, the function always refects structure and what a structure can do depends
on its specific form.
✔✔In what way does physiology depend of anatomy? - ✔✔the operation or function of a
structure is dictated by its anatomy
✔✔Would you be studying anatomy or physiology if you investigated how muscles
shorten? If you explored the location of the lungs in the body? - ✔✔Muscle shortening is
a topic of physiology. The body location of the lungs is an anatomy topic.
✔✔What are the levels of structural organization? - ✔✔chemical, cellular, tissue, organ,
organ system and organismal level
✔✔What does the digestive system do? - ✔✔takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and
eliminates unabsorbed matter (feces)
✔✔What does the respiratory system do? - ✔✔takes in oxygen and eliminates carbon
dioxide
✔✔What does the urinary system do? - ✔✔eliminates nitrogenous wastes and excess
ions
✔✔What does the cardiovascular system do? - ✔✔via the blood, distributes oxygen and
nutrients to all body cells and delivers wastes and carbon dioxide to deposal organs
✔✔What does the integumentary system do? - ✔✔protects the body as a whole from
the external environment
