ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 1
EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH
SOLUTIONS
anatomy - correct-answer - 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 - correct-answer - 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 - correct-answer - microscopic- structures that cannot be
observed to the unaided eye
,2|Page
(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 - correct-answer - discipline concerned with developmental changes
occuring from conception to birth
comparative A&P - correct-answer - examines similarities and differences of
anatomy and physiology of different species
pathophysiology - correct-answer - relationship between the functioning of an
organ system and disease or injury to that organ system
, 3|Page
basic qualities of life - correct-answer - 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 - correct-answer - 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
