PURDUE PHYSIOLOGY ACCURATE REAL EXAM
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS
JUST RELEASED
who published in latin the first modern anatomy textbook?
Andreas Vesalius
(De Humani Corporis Fabrica)
what is the Visible human project?
a male and a female were imaged with MRI and CAT scans then embedded
with gelatin and cut transversely
Who used the experimental method to deduce the circulation of blood?
William Harvey
What is Life?
Higher life forms have the ability to:
move
respond or react toa stimulus
grow
reproduce
respire
digest food
absorb products of digestion
circulate blood
assimilate food products
excrete unwanted or harmful materials
How much of the human body is fluid?
,56%
2/3 is intracellular fluid in cells
1/3 is extracellular fluid
Six Factors of Homeostasis
body temp
o2 level in blood and tissues
pH of blood and body fluids
salt content
Glucose level in blood
metabolic waste product levels
(blood pressure is regulated to make sure tissues get the blood)
negative feedback loop
~normal set temperature
~rise above set point
~skin and brain detect body is too hot
~body takes action by sweating and skin blood vessels dilate
~fall back to set point
order of the body
atoms (O,H,C,N, etc.)
molecules (water and macromolecules)
cells ( white blood cells, nerve, etc)
tissues (made up of cells)
organs
systems
Hox genes (homeotic genes)
, determines body pattern of every animal body
determines development and adult
