ANATOMY 260 ACTUAL PAPER ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
Anatomy - ✔✔The study of internal and external structures
The study of relationships between body parts
The careful observation of the human body
Provides clues about physiological functions
(STRUCTURE = FUNCTION)
✔✔Physiology - ✔✔The study of how the body functions
The study of mechanisms in the body
✔✔Structure = Function - ✔✔All special physiological functions are performed by
specific anatomical structure
✔✔Anatomical structure of the nasal cavity - ✔✔Physiological warming of the inhaled
air (structure = function)
✔✔Anatomical structure of the heart muscle - ✔✔Physiological pumping action
(structure = function)
✔✔Microscopic Anatomy - ✔✔The study of anatomy (structures) that cannot be seen
with the unaided eye
Histology & Cytology
✔✔Histology - ✔✔Study of tissues
✔✔Cytology - ✔✔Study of cells
✔✔Cyto - ✔✔"Cell" in Latin
✔✔Tissue - ✔✔Groups of cells that work together
, ✔✔Gross Anatomy (Macroscopic) - ✔✔Study of larger structures that can be seen with
the unaided eye
Surface Anatomy, Regional Anatomy, Systemic Anatomy
✔✔Surface anatomy (Morphology) - ✔✔Refers to the study of general form & superficial
anatomical markings
✔✔Regional Anatomy - ✔✔Refers to all structures in a specific area of the body, (head,
neck, or trunk) whether they are superficial or deep
✔✔Systemic Anatomy - ✔✔The study of the organ systems of the body (digestive
system, cardiovascular system, etc.)
✔✔Organ Systems - ✔✔Groups of organs that function together to produce coordinated
effects
✔✔Developmental Anatomy - ✔✔Examines structural changes over time
Conception to physical maturity
✔✔Embryology - ✔✔The study of early developmental stages
The first two months of development

different types of animals

✔✔Surgical Anatomy - ✔✔Studies anatomical landmarks important for surgical
procedures
✔✔Radiographic Anatomy - ✔✔The study of anatomical structures with the use of x-
rays or ultrasound scans on an intact body
✔✔Cross-Sectional Anatomy - ✔✔The use of radiographic techniques (CT, MRI, and
spiral scans) to look at cross sections of the body
✔✔Levels of Organization - ✔✔1. Chemical / Molecular
2. Cell
3. Tissue
4. Organ
5. Organ System
6. Organism
✔✔Cell - ✔✔The smallest living unit of the body
