UTA Anatomy & Physiology 1 Exam 1
Questions and Answers 100% Pass
Anatomy - ✔✔The study of body structures of an organism an their relationship to each
other
Gross Anatomy - ✔✔large body structures visible without the aid of a microscope
Microscopic Anatomy - ✔✔Small body structures only visible with the aid of a
microscope.
Developmental Anatomy - ✔✔anatomical changes throughout the life of an organism
Vital Functions of the organ systems - ✔✔-separation of internal/external environments
- movement
- responsiveness to stimuli
- digestion/absorption
- metabolism
- excretion

,- growth
Non vital to individual, but vital to species - ✔✔reproduction
How many major body systems are there? - ✔✔11
Homeostasis - ✔✔dynamic state of equilibrium and focuses on balance.
Survival Needs for homeostasis - ✔✔nutrients
ions
water
oxygen
normal body temp
appropriate atompsheric pressure
Homeostasis is maintained by - ✔✔negative feedback (response to decrease or eliminate
the stimulus ex. temp - your temp increases, you sweat to release heat, your body temp
decreases. As your body temp decreases, the amount of sweat decreases)
positive feedback (stimulus causes a response and enhances the response until it stops.
ex. bleeding - damage blood vessel, platelets adhere to damaged site, release chemical
to attract more platelets, plates adhere to damaged site and so on.)

, Standard Anatomical Position - ✔✔erect body, feet slightly apart, palms forward,
thumbs pointing away from body
Superior - ✔✔top part of the trunk (cranial)
Inferior - ✔✔toward the bottom
Cranial vs Caudal - ✔✔Cranial - toward head
Caudal - toward tail or tailbone
Posterior or Dorsal - ✔✔back
Anterior or ventral - ✔✔belly region
proximal - ✔✔Closer to the point of attachment
distal - ✔✔farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to
the body trunk
deep - ✔✔below the muscle
ex. knife cut into the muscle
superficial - ✔✔above the muscle
