, What factors probably stimulated an early interest in the human body? Answer: primitive people
suffered aches and pains, injured themselves, bled, broke bones, developed diseases, and
contracted infections
What types of activities helped promote the development of modern medical science? Answer:
observing the effects of injuries, noticing how wounds healed, and examining dead bodies to
determine death; also finding how certain herbs healed certain illnesses
What is the role of a hypothesis in the scientific method? Answer: allows us to eliminate the
wrong answers
Anatomy Answer: Greek for "cutting up"; examines the structures of body parts - their forms
and organization
Physiology Answer: Greek for "relationship to nature"; considers the functions of body parts -
what they do and how they do it
Why is it difficult to separate the topics of anatomy and physiology? Answer: anatomical
structures make possible their functions
List several examples that illustrate how the structure of a body part makes possible its function.
Answer: 1) the long bones of the hands make grasping possible
2) the heart's muscles allow it to contract and pump blood
3) shape of teeth in mouth allow us to chew up solid foods
How are anatomy and physiology both old and new fields? Answer: we have discovered a lot
already but more is still being discovered
1) plunum temporale in brain enables people to locate sounds in space (anatomical)
2) taste receptors on proteins in bear's small intestine (physiological)
3) "gene expression profiling"
