VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
●● physiology
Answer: the study of function of the body parts; physiologists examine
how organs and body systems function under normal circumstances as
well as how their functions are altered with medication or disease
●● branches of anatomy
Answer: microscopic- structures that cannot be observed to the unaided
eye
(cytology- study of body cells and their internal structure;
histology- study of tissues)
gross anatomy- structures that can be observed to the unaided eye,;
macroscopic
(systemic anatomy- anatomy of each body system;
regional anatomy- examines all of the structures in a particular region of
the body as a complete unit)
●● embryology
Answer: discipline concerned with developmental changes occuring
from conception to birth
,●● comparative A&P
Answer: examines similarities and differences of anatomy and
physiology of different species
●● pathophysiology
Answer: relationship between the functioning of an organ system and
disease or injury to that organ system
●● basic qualities of life
Answer: organization- each organism has a complex structure and order
metabolism- the sum of all chemical reactions to occur within a body;
anabolism (smaller molecules form larger) and catabolism (larger
molecules are broken down to smaller)
growth and development- each organism assimilates materials from its
environment and often grows and develops
responsiveness- ability to sense and react to stimuli
regulation- ability to adjust or direct internal bodily function in the face
of environmental changes- homeostasis- ability of an organism to
maintain a consistent internal environment
●● organization of the human body
Answer: chemical level- consists of atoms, molecules, macromolecules,
and organelles
, cell level- consists of cells, made up of structures and molecules from
chemical level
tissue level- made up of tissues which are made of cells
organ level- made up of organs made up of 2-3 tissue types that work
together for specific, complex functions
organ system level- organs that work together to coordinate activities
and acheive a common function
●● anterior
Answer: in front of
●● posterior
Answer: in back of
●● dorsal
Answer: on the backside of the human body
●● ventral
Answer: on the belly side of the human body
●● superior
Answer: closer to the head
