ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY FINAL EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS WELL VERIFIED .GRADED A+
Describe the basic function of the Lymphatic System - ANSWER -Picks
up fluid leaked from blood vessels and returns it to blood; disposes of
debris in the lymphatic stream; houses white blood cells involved in
immunity.
Describe the basic function of the Respiratory System - ANSWER -
Keeps blood constantly supplied with oxygen and removes carbon
dioxide; gas exchange occurs through the walls of the air sacs of the
lungs.
,Describe the basic function of the Digestive System - ANSWER -Breaks
food down into absorbable nutrients that enter the blood for
distribution to body cells; indigestible foodstuffs are eliminated as feces.
Describe the basic function of the Urinary System - ANSWER -
Eliminates nitrogen-containing wastes from the body; regulates water,
electrolyte, and acid-base balance of the blood.
Describe the basic function of the Male/Female Reproductive System -
ANSWER -The overall function of the reproductive system is to produce
offspring. Testes produce sperm and make sex hormones; ducts and
glands aid in the delivery of viable sperm to the female reproductive
tract. Ovaries produce eggs and female sex hormones; the remaining
structures serve as sites for fertilization and development of the fetus.
The mammary glands of the female breasts produce milk to nourish the
newborn.

What are the 9 regions of the abdominopelvic cavity? - ANSWER -1.
Right Hypochondriac Region
2. Epigastric Region

What is the order of the homeostasis control system? - ANSWER -
Receptor, control center, and effector
What is the levels of organization? - ANSWER -Six levels of structural
organization: atoms and molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organ
systems, and the organism
What are life functions vs survival needs? - ANSWER -Life functions are
the essential biological processes the body performs to stay alive and
maintain homeostasis.
Survival needs are the basic environmental factors the body requires in
order to carry out those life functions.
Positive vs Negative Feedback Loops - ANSWER -Negative feedback
systems act to reduce or stop the initial stimulus
