CORRECT ANSWERS
What is anatomy? - CORRECT ANSWER-- How big something
is' the geometry and shape, how it connects to the rest of the
body
- STRUCTURE: can be physically described
- Size, shape, location, made of a group of substructures, links
to other structures
What is physiology? - CORRECT ANSWER-The scientific
investigation of the processes or functions of living things
FUNCTION: how things work
How are A&P linked? - CORRECT ANSWER--Form follows
function; processes, structures and functions are all interwoven
-Structure implies function
-Physiology is explainable only in terms of the underlying
anatomy
-You can't FUNCTION without STRUCTURE, and vise versa. It
is impossible to understand physiology without developing an
understanding of anatomy; physiology is explainable only in
terms of the underlying anatomy.
Can A&P be studied together or separately? - CORRECT
ANSWER--They can be studied together or separately, but
there is a greater benefit in studying them together
-Regionally, Systemically
Regional anatomy (Regionally) - CORRECT ANSWER-The
body is studied area by area, and all systems within the area
are studied simultaneously
,Systemic anatomy (Systemically) - CORRECT ANSWER-the
body is studied system by system. A system is a group of
structures that have one or more common functions
(cardiovascular system, digestive system, etc.); how we study
anatomy
What are the advantages and disadvantages to A&P? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Advantage of studying A&P together
-Helps tie everything together
-The information makes the most sense this way
-Easier in the sense that they are interwoven so the material is
easier to grasp when taught this way
Disadvantage of studying A&P together
-Loads of information
-Details may be missed
Which is predominate between regionally/ systemically in BIOL
319? Any exceptions? - CORRECT ANSWER-Systemic
predominates in Biol 319
Exceptions - going from cranium to study nerves and jumping
to skeleton to study the system (regional)
Explain the word Integrative in the titles of BIOL . -
CORRECT ANSWER-Integrative means that various aspects of
both anatomy and physiology are linked/coordinated together
-combining form and function to create a whole
Histology - CORRECT ANSWER-examines tissues,
subcomponent of organs, which are composed of cells and the
materials surrounding them; microscopic study of tissues
(groups of similar cells)
Gross anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER-study of structures that
can be viewed without a microscope; can be approached
systemically or regionally; can be viewed by the naked eye;
"large"
,Surface anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER-Looking at the
exterior of the body to visualize structures deeper inside the
body
Cell physiology - CORRECT ANSWER-processes occurring in
cells
Systemic physiology - CORRECT ANSWER-Function of organ
systems
Neurophysiology - CORRECT ANSWER-Nervous system
Cardiovascular physiology - CORRECT ANSWER-Heart and
blood vessels
How are we studying anatomy in Bio 319? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Using a systems approach
What four elements make up most of the body's molecules? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen
(COHN)
- Makes up 95 % of the body molecules
What are the different levels can one study/learn/discuss in
anatomy? - CORRECT ANSWER-Chemical level (which
involves interactions between atoms- atoms, molecules,
organelles) ,Cell level, tissue level, organ level, organ system
level and organisms level
Atoms → Molecules → Cells → Tissues → Organs → Organ
System → Organism
-Chemical level: Atoms combine to form molecules
-Cell level: Molecules form organelles, such as the nucleus and
mitochondria, which make up the cells.
-Tissue level: Similar cells and surrounding materials make up
tissues.
-Organ level: Different tissues combine to form organs, such as
the urinary bladder.
, -Organ System level: Organs, such as the urinary bladder and
kidneys, make up an organ system.
-Organism level: Organ systems make up an organism
Macromolecules - CORRECT ANSWER-large molecules made
up of smaller repeated units
ex. protein, carbohydrates (sugars), lipids(fats), Nucleic acids
(DNA/RNA)
What is histology and what piece of equipment is needed to do
histology? - CORRECT ANSWER-Histology is the study of
tissues where we look at the sub components. You need a light
microscope to study histology.
What piece of equipment is needed to do histology? -
CORRECT ANSWER-light microscope
What piece of equipment is usually necessary for studying the
detailed structure of cellular organelles? Why? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Electronic microscope because it is a stronger
microscope with more resolving power that can observe unique
details
What is the difference between tissues and organs? -
CORRECT ANSWER-- A tissue is composed of a group of
similar cells and the materials surrounding them- these
surrounding materials determine the functions of the tissue.
- Organs are made of tissues. An organ is composed of two or
more tissue types that perform one or more common functions.
In the broadest categories, how many tissue types are there
and what are they called? - CORRECT ANSWER-There are
four tissue types:
- epithelial (Skin and everywhere in body-lines cavities and
surfaces of blood vessels and organs throughout the body),
- nervous (nerves, brain, spinal cord),
- muscle (smooth, skeletal, cardiac)
