BINGHAMTON BIO 251 A&P 1 CHAPTER 1- HUMAN BODY
COMPREHENSIVE TEST PREP | UPDATED FOR 2025–2026
Anatomy - correct answer -What the structure looks like, relationship between structures.
Two types of anatomy - correct answer -gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy
gross anatomy - correct answer -visible structures that can be seen with the naked eye
Microscopic Anatomy - correct answer -deals with structures too small to be seen with the
naked eye
Two types of gross anatomy - correct answer -regional and systemic
Regional - correct answer -all the structures found in a particular region of the body ex.) chest
region
Systemic - correct answer -Structures found in the same system ex.) structures of the digestive
system- esophagus to stomach to intestine....
What is the difference between systemic and regional? - correct answer -Regional is only for
structures in a single region, while systemic can include structures from all different regions.
Two types of microscopic anatomy - correct answer -cytology and histology
Cytology - correct answer -study of cells
Histology - correct answer -study of tissues (made from cells)
, Physiology - correct answer -how different structures work, often observed at cellular level
Why is physiology often considered at the cell level? - correct answer -Cells tend to be the most
important part since they initiate many processes that lead to the completion of the function.
Ex.) stomach lining cells secrete substance to initiate digestion.
Principle of Complementarity of Structure and Function - correct answer -The function a
structure can do is dependent on its form.
Ex.) Bones have calcium salt which is what makes them so strong, Since they are strong they are
able to complete the function of holding us up
What are the different levels of organization of the human body? - correct answer -1.) Chemical
level
2.) Cellular level
3.) Tissue level
4.) Organ level
5.) Organ System level
6.) Organismal level
Chemical Level - correct answer -Formation of molecules from atoms
Cellular Level - correct answer -Cells are the smallest unit of life
All cells have one thing in common: producing ATP
Cells all have different functions depending on where they are found ex.) stomach cells vs. heart
cells
