The study of cells is called - correct answer -cytology.
The study of tissues is called - correct answer -histology.
The study of specific organ system function is called - correct answer -system physiology.
The branch of physiology that studies functions modified by disease is called - correct answer -
pathology.
The following is a list of several levels of organization that make up the human body:
1. tissue
2. cell
3. organ
4. molecule
5. organism
6. organ system
The correct order from the smallest to the largest level would be - correct answer -4, 2, 1, 3, 6, 5.
Support, protection of soft tissues, mineral storage, and blood formation are functions of which system?
- correct answer -Skeletal .
Locomotion, support of internal organs, and heat production are the functions of which system? -
correct answer -Muscular.
The internal transport of blood and dissolved substances is the function of the - correct answer -
Cardiovascular System.
The kidneys and urinary bladder are components of the - correct answer -Urinary System.
, The pituitary and thyroid glands are components of the - correct answer -Endocrine System.
Defense against infection and disease is a function of the - correct answer -Lymphatic System.
Skin, hair, and nails are associated with the - correct answer -Integumentary System.
The maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment in an organism is termed - correct
answer -homeostasis.
When body temperature rises, a center in the brain initiates physiological changes to decrease the body
temperature.
This regulation mechanism is an example of - correct answer -negative feedback.
The increasingly forceful labor contractions that lead to childbirth are an example of this type of
mechanism - correct answer -positive feedback.
Which of the following tissues would be the MOST RADIO-DENSE? - correct answer -Bone.
Cells are considered the smallest units of life because - correct answer -cells are composed of organelles,
each of which is responsible for a particular "life-giving" function.
A chemical imbalance in a heart muscle cell can cause the heart to cease pumping blood, which in turn
will cause other
tissues and organs to cease functioning. This observation supports the view that - correct answer -all
levels of organization within an organism are interdependent.
Each of the following is an example of negative feedback EXCEPT one. Identify the exception. - correct
answer -A rise in estrogen during the menstrual cycle increases the number of progesterone receptors in
