A&P EXAM 1 STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT RATED A+
Compare Anatomy and Physiology. Explain how the studies of form and
function are interrelated.
ANSWER ✔✔
Anatomy: Focuses on studying the structure of the body and the relationship
between its parts.
Physiology: Looks at how the body and its various parts function or work.
Pathophysiology: Studies how diseases or injuries affect normal body
functions.
Define Anatomy.
ANSWER ✔✔
The study of the structure of the body and how its parts are related.
Define Physiology.
ANSWER ✔✔
The study of how the body and its parts work or function.
Microscopic Anatomy
ANSWER ✔✔
The study of structures that cannot be seen with the naked eye, often using a
microscope.
Define Cytology & Give an Example.
ANSWER ✔✔
Cytology is the scientific study of cells.
,It is often used in diagnosing diseases by examining tissue samples.
Example: A Pap smear, which examines cervical cells to detect abnormalities.
Define Histology.
ANSWER ✔✔
Histology, also known as microscopic anatomy or microanatomy, is the branch of
biology that studies the microscopic structure of biological tissues. It involves
recognizing the arrangement of cells and tissues and understanding how their
structure relates to their function.
What subdivision of physiology focuses on disease? -ANSWER✔✔cytology
Diagnosis of diseases and conditions through examination of tissue samples from
the body
EX. Pap smear → cervical smear
describe the levels of organization -ANSWER✔✔Chemical level → atoms
combine to form molecules
Cellular level → Cells are made of molecules
Organelles
Tissue level → tissues consist of similar types of cells
Smooth muscle cells to smooth muscle tissue
Organ level → organs are made up of different types of tissues
Blood vessels
Smooth muscle tissue
Connective tissue
Epithelial tissue
Organ system level → Organ systems consist of different organs that work
together closely
,Cardiovascular system
Heart
Blood vessels
Organism level → the human organism is made up of many organ systems
levels of organization (smallest to largest) -ANSWER✔✔chemical, cellular, tissue,

Pain / pressure
skeletal system
body systems -ANSWER✔✔Skeletal System → bones / joints
Protects and supports body organs
Provides framework the muscles use to cause movement
Blood cells are formed within bones
Bone marrow
Bones store minerals
Muscular System
, body systems -ANSWER✔✔Muscular System → skeletal muscles
Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expressions
Maintains posture
Produces heat
nervous system
body systems -ANSWER✔✔Nervous System → brian / spinal cord / nerves
Fast acting control system of the body
Response to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and
glands
endocrine system
body systems -ANSWER✔✔Endocrine System → pineal gland / pituitary gland /
thyroid gland / thymus / adrenal gland / pancreas / testicles / ovaries
Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes by body cells
Growth
Reproduction
Nutrient use (metabolism)
cardiovascular system
body systems -ANSWER✔✔Cardiovascular System → heart / blood vessels
Blood vessels transport blood
Carries O2 / CO2 / nutrients / water
Heart pumps blood
Lymphatic system
