A&P FINAL CH 1-15 WITH ALL CORRECT &
VERIFIED ANSWERS (UPDATED TO PASS)
What is anatomy defined as? Correct answer-the study of structure of the body
what is physiology defined as? Correct answer-the study of the function of the body
what are the 3 main body planes? Correct answer-frontal, median, and transverse
what are the 8 necessary life functions? Correct answer-maintain boundaries, movement,
responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, dispose of wastes, reproduction, & growth
what are the levels of structural organization from simplest to most complex? Correct answer-
chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, & organismal
describe the anatomical position Correct answer-body erect, facing forward, feet slightly apart,
arms at sides with palms forward
what are the 11 organ systems of the body? Correct answer-integumentary, skeletal, muscular,
nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, reproductive, and immune
system
what does negative feedback do? Correct answer-reduces or shuts off original stimulus
what does positive feedback do? Correct answer-enhances or exaggerates original stimuli
what is homeostatic imbalance? Correct answer-a disturbance that causes change in the internal
state of the organism

how does a receptor react to a stimuli? Correct answer-the receptor sends information to the
control center and sends the appropriate response to the effector which then provides the means to
a response

the environment?

right hypochondriac region, epigastric region, left hypochondriac region, right lumbar, umbilical, left
lumber, right iliac, hypogastric, left iliac
what 4 quadrants can the 9 abdominopelvic regions be divided into? Correct answer-right upper,
left upper, right lower, and left lower
what are the 5 cavities? Correct answer-cranial cavity, vertebral cavity, thoracic cavity, abdominal
cavity, and pelvic cavity
what are the 4 planes that divide the body and allow for easier inspection? Correct answer-sagittal
(median if its down the middle), frontal, transverse (horizontal), and elusive oblique
what is homeostatic imbalance? Correct answer-the disturbance of homeostasis beyond the norm
what is the disturbance of homeostasis beyond the norm? Correct answer-homeostatic imbalance
what can cause homeostatic imbalance? Correct answer-disease and aging
what is negative feedback? Correct answer-the response that opposes stimuli
what is positive feedback? Correct answer-the response that enables/furthers a stimuli
what are the two categories energy is divided into? Correct answer-kinetic and potential
what is kinetic energy? Correct answer-requires work in action
what is potential energy? Correct answer-stored energy
what are the 4 major elements of the human body? Correct answer-carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and
nitrogen (CHON)
what are atoms made of? Correct answer-subatomic particles protons, neutrons, and electrons
what does the atomic number represent? Correct answer-# of protons
what does the mass # represent? Correct answer-# of neutrons and protons

cause all damage in living tissue
what are chemical elements that have an unstable nucleus & can cause all damage in living tissue?
Correct answer-radioisotopes
what are the two types of chemical reactions? Correct answer-exergonic & endergonic
, what is exergonic? Correct answer-leads to release of energy
what is endergonic? Correct answer-absorbs energy
what are buffers? Correct answer-help stabilize pH levels
what is the name of the thing that helps to stabilize pH levels? Correct answer-buffers
what are enzymes? Correct answer-proteins that speed up reactions by lowering activation energy
what are proteins that speed up reactions by lowering activation energy? Correct answer-enzymes
how do enzymes speed up reactions? Correct answer-they lower activation energy
what are molecular chaperones? Correct answer-they help trigger the immune response, delay
aging, and promote the breakdown of damaged or denatured proteins
what helps trigger the immune response, delays aging, and promotes the breakdown of damaged or
denatured proteins? Correct answer-molecular chaperones
what are fibrous proteins Correct answer-strand like, water insoluble and stable proteins which
most likely have a tertiary or quaternary structure
what are strand like, water insoluble and stable proteins that most likely have a tertiary or
quaternary structure Correct answer-fibrous proteins
what are 4 words that describe globular proteins Correct answer-compact, spherical, water soluble
and sensitive
compact, spherical, water soluble and sensitive describe what type of protein? Correct answer-
globular
what are nucleic acids made of? Correct answer-monomers known as nucleotides which contain 3
components: 5 carbon sugars, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous...something lol
what do nucleic acids contain? Correct answer-DNA & RNA
what 3 components make up nucleotides? Correct answer-5 carbon sugars, a phosphate group,
and a nitrogenous whatever
what is the most abundant and important inorganic compound in the body? Correct answer-water
what percent of the body is water? Correct answer-60-80%
what is an example of a protein donor? Correct answer-acids
what is an example of a protein acceptor? Correct answer-bases
