Human Anatomy & Physiology (11th Edition)
Chapter 1 Questions with Correct Answers
Anatomy - (Correct Answer) Studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one
another
Physiology - (Correct Answer) Concerns the function of the body, in other words how the body
parts work and carry out their life sustaining activities
Gross(macroscopic) anatomy - (Correct Answer) study of large body structures visible to the naked
eye
Regional Anatomy - (Correct Answer) All the structures (muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves
calm,etc.) in a particular region of the body, such as the abdomen or leg, are examined at the same
time
Systemic anatomy - (Correct Answer) body structure is studied system by system
surface anatomy - (Correct Answer) the study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying
skin surface
Microscopic Anatomy - (Correct Answer) deals with structures too small to be seen with the naked
eye
Cytology - (Correct Answer) study of cells
Histology - (Correct Answer) study of tissues
embryology - (Correct Answer) study of embryos and their development
pathological anatomy - (Correct Answer) study of structural changes caused by disease
radiographic anatomy - (Correct Answer) studies internal structures as visualized by X-ray images
or specialized scanning procedures
Palpation - (Correct Answer) feeling organs with your hands
Auscultation - (Correct Answer) Listening to organ sounds with a stethoscope
Renal Physiology - (Correct Answer) concerns kidney function and urine production
Neurophysiology - (Correct Answer) explains the workings of the nervous system
cardiovascular physiology - (Correct Answer) examines the operation of the heart and blood vessels
, principle of complementarity of structure and function - (Correct Answer) function always reflects
structure; what a structure can do depends on its specific form
chemical level - (Correct Answer) atoms combine to form molecules
Atoms - (Correct Answer) Building blocks of matter
Molecules - (Correct Answer) Groups of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
organelles - (Correct Answer) A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
Cells - (Correct Answer) smallest unit of life
Tissues - (Correct Answer) Groups of cells with a common structure and function
Levels of organization - (Correct Answer) cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
maintaining boundaries - (Correct Answer) the internal environment remains distinct from the
external environment
plasma membrane - (Correct Answer) A selectively-permeable phospholipid bilayer forming the
boundary of the cells
intracellular fluid - (Correct Answer) fluid within cells
extracellular fluid - (Correct Answer) fluid outside the cell
Movement - (Correct Answer) activities promoted by the muscular system
Contractility - (Correct Answer) ability to shorten when an adequate stimulus is received
Responsiveness(excitability) - (Correct Answer) ability to sense changes and react
Digestion - (Correct Answer) Breakdown of food substances into simpler forms that can be
absorbed into the blood
Metabolism - (Correct Answer) All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism
Excretion - (Correct Answer) the process by which wastes are removed from the body
Reproduction - (Correct Answer) the original cell divides producing two identical daughter cells
that may then be used for body growth or repair
Growth - (Correct Answer) increase in size
Nutrients - (Correct Answer) substances used for energy and cell building
Oxygen - (Correct Answer)
