A&P 1 Final Exam Questions with
Complete Solutions18
Macroscopic - ANSWERS-Gross Anatomy
Gross Anatomy - ANSWERS-is the study of structure large enough to be seen with the naked
eye. EX. heart, lungs and kidneys.
Regional Anatomy - ANSWERS-the study of anatomy based on regions or divisions of the body
and emphasizing the relations between various structures (muscles and nerves and arteries
etc.) in that region
Microscopic Anatomy - ANSWERS-Deals with structures too small to be seen with the naked
eye.
Cytology - ANSWERS-The study of individual cells, the branch of biology that studies the
structure and function of cells
Embryology - ANSWERS-a subdivision of developmental anatomy, concerns developmental
changes that occur before birth
Histology - ANSWERS-The study of tissues,the branch of biology that studies the microscopic
structure of animal or plant tissues
Cervical - ANSWERS-relating to or associated with the neck
,Intergumentary system - ANSWERS-Major organs: skin, hair, sweat glands, nails, Functions:
protects against environmental hazards; helps regulate body temperature; provide sensory
information
Skeleton system - ANSWERS-an internal or external framework of bone, cartilage, or other rigid
material supporting or containing the body of an animal or plant
Muscular system - ANSWERS-The bodily system that is composed of skeletal, smooth, and
cardiac muscle tissue and functions in movement of the body or of materials through the body,
maintenance of posture, and heat production.
Nervous system - ANSWERS-the body's speedy, electrochemical communication system,
consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems
Lymphatic system - ANSWERS-system made of lymph nodes, blood vessels
Respiratory system - ANSWERS-made of air way and lungs, The organ system responsible for the
intake of oxygen and diffusion of that gas into the blood and the elimination of carbon dioxide
from the body.
Urinary system - ANSWERS-consisting of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, removes
wastes from the blood and helps to maintain water and electrolyte balance
Metabolism - ANSWERS-includes all chemical reactions that occur in the body, two functions
(catabolism and anabolism)
Catabolism - ANSWERS-provide energy by breaking down complex molecules into simple
molecules. (e.g) Protein-> amino acid
, Anabolism - ANSWERS-uses the energy from catabolism to build up the bodys structural and
functions component. aslo called biosynthesis
Anterior - ANSWERS-Toward the front
Ventral - ANSWERS-same as Anterior (toward the front)
Posterior - ANSWERS-Toward the Back
Dorsal - ANSWERS-same as Posterior (toward the back)
Anatomical Postion - ANSWERS-body erect, feet slightly apart, palms facing forward
medial - ANSWERS-Toward the midline
Lateral - ANSWERS-Away from the midline
Supine - ANSWERS-To recline one's back: lie on back
Prone - ANSWERS-To recline one's front: lie on stomach
Homeostasis - ANSWERS-metabolic equilibrium actively maintained by several complex
biological mechanisms that operate via the autonomic nervous system to offset disrupting
changes
Ribosomes - ANSWERS-that are sites of protein synthesis. packing of lipids and protein
