ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
MIDTERM EXAM TEST SET WITH
ALL CORRECT ANSWERS.
Define Anatomy and Physiology. Tell how they are related terms and how
the studies are different. By
-Anatomy: the study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts
-Physiology: the study of how the body and its parts work or function
-The parts of your body form a well-organized unit and each of those parts
has a job to do to make it operate as a whole
Major functions and organs within- INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
-Skin forms the external body covering
-It water proofs the body and protects the deeper tissues from injury
-Also excretes salt and urea to help regulate body temp.
-Temp. pressure and pain receptors
Major functions and organs within- SKELETAL SYSTEM
-Consists of bone, cartilage, ligaments and joints
-Protects and supports body organs and provides a frame work the muscles
use to cause movement
-Hematopoiesis, which the formation of blood cells takes place within the
cavities of the skeleton is a store house for minerals
,Major functions and organs within- MUSCULAR SYSTEM
-To contract, causes movement
-Maintains posture and produces heat
-Organs involved: skeleton muscles
Major functions and organs within- NERVOUS SYSTEM
-Fast acting control system of body
-Organs involved: brain, nerves, spinal cord
-Respons to changes in the environment by activating muscles or glands
Major functions and organs within- ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
-Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth and
reproduction
-Organs involved: pineal gland, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, phymus gland,
adrenal gland, testies and ovary
Major functions and organs within- CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
-Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nutrients and waste
-Heart pumps blood
-White blood cells and chemicals in blood protect the body from invaders
Major functions and organs within- LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Complements that of cardiovascular system
, -Its organs include, lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, spleen and tonsils
-The vessels return fluid leaked from the blood back to the blood vessels so
that the blood can continuously circulate
-Houses white blood cells
-Involved with immunity
Major functions and organs within- RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
-To keep the body constantly supplies with oxygen and to remove carbon
dioxide
-Consists of the nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs
-Within the lungs are tiny air sacs and gasses are transported to and from the
blood through the thin walls of these air sacs
Major functions and organs within- DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
-A tube running through the body from the moth to the anus
-Organs include the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small and large
intestine and rectum
-Their role is to break down the food and deliver the products to the blood for
dispersal to the body cells
Major functions and organs within- URINARY SYSTEM
-Eliminates nitrogen-containign waste from then odd; regulates water,
electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood
-Composed of kidney, ureters, bladder and urethra
