A&P 319 EXAM 1 TAMU COHN
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
100% VERIFIED
1. What is anatomy?: - How big something is' the geometry and shape, how it connects to
the rest of the body - STRUCTURE: can be physically described
- Size, shape, location, made of a group of substructures, links to other structures
2. What is physiology?: The scientific investigation of the processes or functions of living
things FUNCTION: how things work
3. How are A&P linked?: -Form follows function; processes, structures and functions are all
interwoven -Structure implies function
-Physiology is explainable only in terms of the underlying anatomy
-You can't FUNCTION without STRUCTURE, and vise versa. It is impossible to understand
physiology without developing an understanding of anatomy; physiology is explainable only
in terms of the underlying anatomy.
,4. Can A&P be studied together or separately?: -They can be studied together or separately,
but
there is a greater benefit in studying them together
-Regionally, Systemically
5. Regional anatomy (Regionally): The body is studied area by area, and all systems within
the area are studied simultaneously
6. Systemic anatomy (Systemically): the body is studied system by system. A system is a
group of structures that have one or more common functions (cardiovascular system,
digestive system, etc.); how we study
anatomy
7. What are the advantages and disadvantages to A&P?: Advantage of studying A&P
together
-Helps tie everything together
-The information makes the most sense this way
-Easier in the sense that they are interwoven so the material is easier to grasp when taught
this way
Disadvantage of studying A&P together
-Loads of information
-Details may be missed
,8. Which is predominate between regionally/ systemically in BIOL 319? Any
exceptions?: Systemic predominates in Biol 319
Exceptions - going from cranium to study nerves and jumping to skeleton to study the system
(regional)
9. Explain the word Integrative in the titles of BIOL .: Integrative means that
various aspects of both anatomy and physiology are linked/coordinated together
-combining form and function to create a whole
, 10. Histology: examines tissues,subcomponent of organs,which are composed of cells
and the materials sur- rounding them; microscopic study of tissues (groups of similar
cells)
11. Gross anatomy: study of structures that can be viewed without a microscope; can
be approached system- ically or regionally; can be viewed by the naked eye; "large"
12. Surface anatomy: Looking at the exterior of the body to visualize structures deeper
inside the body
13. Cell physiology: processes occurring in cells
14. Systemic physiology: Function of organ systems
15. Neurophysiology: Nervous system
16. Cardiovascular physiology: Heart and blood vessels
17. How are we studying anatomy in Bio 319?: Using a systems approach
18. What four elements make up most of the body's molecules?: Carbon, Hydrogen,
Oxygen and Nitrogen (COHN)
