Anatomy & Physiology Chapter 1 - Marieb | Practice Questions & Verified Answers
Define Anatomy the study of the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another
Define Physiology the study of the function of the body and how its parts work and carry out their
life-sustaining activities
Name three branches of anatomy Gross, Microscopic, and Developmental
Define Gross (macroscopic) Anatomy the study of large body structures visible to the naked eye
Name the 3 different approaches of Gross Anatomy Regional, Systemic, and Surface
Define Regional Anatomy One approach to study Gross Anatomy; the study of all the structures (muscles,
bones, blood vessels, nerves, etc.) in a particular region of the body, such as the
abdomen or leg, at the same time
Define Systemic Anatomy One approach to study Gross Anatomy; the study of the body system by system;
for example, when studying the cardiovascular system, one would examine the
heart and blood vessels of the entire body
Define Surface Anatomy One approach to study Gross Anatomy; the study of internal structures as they
relate to the overlying skin surface
Define Microscopic Anatomy the study of structures too small to be seen with the naked eye
Name two branches of Microscopic Anatomy cytology and histology
Define Cytology microscopic anatomy studying the cells of the body
Define Histology microscopic anatomy studying the tissues of the body
Define Developmental Anatomy the study of tracing structural changes that occur throughout the lifespan
Define Embryology a subdivision of developmental anatomy concerning developmental changes
occurring before birth
Define Palpation feeling organs with your hands
Define Auscultation listening to organ sounds with a stethoscope
, Anatomy & Physiology Chapter 1 - Marieb | Practice Questions & Verified Answers
Most subdivisions of physiology consider the operation of Renal, Neurophysiology, Cardiovascular
specific organ systems. Name 3 subdivisions of
physiology
Define Renal Physiology the study of the kidney function and urine production
Define Neurophysiology the study of the workings of the nervous system
Define Cardiovascular physiology the study of the operation of the heart and blood vessels
Describe the Principle of Complementarity of Structure The study of anatomy and the study of physiology are practically inseparable
and Function because function always reflects structure
In what way does physiology depend on anatomy? function always reflects structure
Would you be studying anatomy or physiology if you physiology
investigated how muscles shorten?
Would you be studying anatomy or physiology if you anatomy
explored the location of the lungs in the body?
Name the different levels of the body's structural Atom> Molecule> Organelle> Cell> Tissue> Organ> Organ System> Organism
organization (hierarchy)
What level of structural organization is typical of a the cellular level
cytologist's field of study?
What is the correct structural order for the following cell, tissue, organ, organism
terms: tissue, organism, organ, cell?
List the functional characteristics necessary to maintain Bodies are organized (hierarchy), maintain boundaries, respond to environmental
life in humans. changes, take in and digest nutrients, carry out metabolism, dispose of wastes,
reproduce themselves, and grow
List the 11 organ systems of the body Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Endocrine, Cardiovascular,
Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Reproductive
What term includes all chemical reactions in the body? Metabolism
Briefly describe the components and function(s) of the Skin, hair, nails; Forms the external body covering and protects deeper tissues
Integumentary System from injury. Synthesizes vitamin D and houses cutaneous (pain, pressure, etc.)
receptors and sweat and oil glands.
Briefly describe the components and function(s) of the Joints and Bones; Protects and supports the body organs and provides a
Skeletal System. framework that the muscles use to cause movement. Blood cells are formed
within bones, and bones also store minerals.
