Human Anatomy ATI TEAS Exam
Questions with Complete Solutions5
Anatomical position - ANSWERS-Standard positioning of the body as standing; feet together;
arms to the side; with head eyes and palms of hands forward.
Cells - ANSWERS-The basic structural unit of an organism from which living things are created.
They are the smallest living unit of life.
Directional terminology - ANSWERS-Words used to explain relationships of locations of
anatomical elements, ie: distal, posterior, medial etc.
Organ systems - ANSWERS-Functional groups of organs that work together within the body:
circulatory, integumentary, skeletal, reproductive, digestive, urinary, respiratory, endocrine,
lymphatic, muscular, nervous.
Organelle - ANSWERS-A specialized part of a cell that has a specific function.
Organ - ANSWERS-A self contained part of an organism that performs a specific function ie:
heart, kidney, liver, and brain. Organs are anatomical units that have multiple functions. Many
tissues
and most organs are examined easily without a microscope, and at this point we
cross the boundary from microscopic anatomy into gross anatomy.
Reference planes - ANSWERS-Planes dividing the body to describe locations; sagittal, coronal,
and transverse.
, Tissue - ANSWERS-A group of cells with similar structure that function together as a unit, but at
a lower level than organs.
Integumentary system - ANSWERS-Protection from environmental hazards and temperature
control. Includes hair, nails, skin.
Skeletal system - ANSWERS-Support protection of soft tissues, mineral storage and blood
formation. The framework of the body, consisting of bones and other connective tissues, which
protects and supports the body tissues and internal organs. The human skeleton contains 206
bones, six of which are the tiny bones of the middle ear (three in each ear) that function in
hearing.
Muscular system - ANSWERS-Motion, heat production, support. The muscular system is an
organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the
body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body.
Nervous system - ANSWERS-Communication and directing immediate responses to stimuli. The
network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body.
Chemical or molecular level of organization - ANSWERS-The human body consists of more than
a dozen different elements, but four of them (hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen) account
for more than 99 percent of the total number of atoms. At the chemical level, atoms interact to
form
three-dimensional compounds with distinctive properties.
Cellular level of organization - ANSWERS-Includes cells, the smallest living units in the body.
Cells contain internal
structures called organelles. Cells and their organelles are made up of complex
chemicals.
