Questions With Correct
Answers
Anatomy - ANSWER the study of the human body structures that can be seen
with the naked eye and how the body parts are organized; it is the science of the
structure of organisms or of their parts
Physiology - ANSWER the study of the functions and activities performed by the
body's structures
Cells - ANSWER the basic units of all living things
Protoplasm - ANSWER a colorless jelly-like substance found inside cells in
which food elements such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts, and water are
present
Nucleus - ANSWER the dense, active protoplasm found in the center of the cell;
plays an important part in cell reproduction and metabolism
Cytoplasm - ANSWER the watery fluid that surrounds the nucleus of the cell and
is needed for growth, reproduction, and self-repair
Cell Membrane - ANSWER the cell part that encloses the protoplasm and
permits soluble substances to enter and leave the cell
Mitosis - ANSWER the usual process of cell reproduction of human tissues that
occurs when the cell divides into two identical cells called daughter cells
Tissue - ANSWER a collection of similar cells that perform a particular function
Connective tissue - ANSWER fibrous tissue that binds together, protects, and
supports the various parts of the body
Adipose tissue - ANSWER a technical term for fats
, Epithelial tissue - ANSWER a protective covering on body surfaces, such as
skin, mucous membranes, the inside of the mouth, the lining of the heart, digestive and
respiratory organs and the glands.
Muscle tissue - ANSWER contracts and moves various parts of the body
Nerve tissue - ANSWER carries messages to and from the brain and controls
and coordinates all bodily functions.
composed of special cells known as neurons
Organs - ANSWER structures composed of specialized tissues designed to
perform specific functions in plants and animals
Body systems - ANSWER groups of body organs acting together to perform one
or more functions
Digestive system - ANSWER breaks down food into nutrients or waste for
nutrition or excretion
Circulatory system - ANSWER controls movement of blood throughout the body
endocrine system - ANSWER controls hormone levels within the body that
determine growth, development, sexual function, and health of the entire body
Excretory system - ANSWER eliminates waste from the body reducing build up
of toxins
Integumentary system - ANSWER provides protective covering an regulates
body temperature
Immune (lymphatic) system - ANSWER protects the body from disease by
developing immunities and destroying pathogens and toxins
Muscular system - ANSWER covers, shapes, and holds the skeleton in place.
Muscles contract to allow for movement of body structures
Nervous system - ANSWER coordinates all other body systems allowing them to
work efficiently and react to the environment
Reproductive system - ANSWER produces offspring and allows for transfer of
genetic material
Respiratory system - ANSWER makes blood and oxygen available to body
structures through respiration; eliminates carbon dioxide
