APHY 101 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 1
EXAM 2026/2027 QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS 100% PASS
anatomy
study of structure and form; derived from Greek word Anatome which means to
cut apart or dissect; Anatomists study structure and form of organims studying
the relationships among parts of the body and the structure of individual organs
physiology
the study of function of the body parts; physiologists examine how organs and
body systems function under normal circumstances as well as how their functions
are altered with medication or disease
branches of anatomy
microscopic- structures that cannot be observed to the unaided eye
(cytology- study of body cells and their internal structure;
histology- study of tissues)
gross anatomy- structures that can be observed to the unaided eye,; macroscopic
(systemic anatomy- anatomy of each body system;
regional anatomy- examines all of the structures in a particular region of the body
as a complete unit)
,embryology
discipline concerned with developmental changes occuring from conception to
birth
comparative A&P
examines similarities and differences of anatomy and physiology of different
species
pathophysiology
relationship between the functioning of an organ system and disease or injury to
that organ system
basic qualities of life
organization- each organism has a complex structure and order
metabolism- the sum of all chemical reactions to occur within a body; anabolism
(smaller molecules form larger) and catabolism (larger molecules are broken
down to smaller)
growth and development- each organism assimilates materials from its
environment and often grows and develops
, responsiveness- ability to sense and react to stimuli
regulation- ability to adjust or direct internal bodily function in the face of
environmental changes- homeostasis- ability of an organism to maintain a
consistent internal environment
organization of the human body
chemical level- consists of atoms, molecules, macromolecules, and organelles
cell level- consists of cells, made up of structures and molecules from chemical
level
tissue level- made up of tissues which are made of cells
organ level- made up of organs made up of 2-3 tissue types that work together for
specific, complex functions
organ system level- organs that work together to coordinate activities and acheive
a common function
