Anatomy and Physiology Final Exam Questions
With Correct Solutions
Definition of Anatomy CORRECT ANSWERS Study of the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another.
Definition of Gross Anatomy CORRECT ANSWERS A.k.A. Macroscopic Anatomy; Large visible structures (naked eye)
Definition of Histology CORRECT ANSWERS Study of tissues (similar cells with
same function)
The build up metablic wastes (CO2) gives of the respiratory system an important function/role manifested by an increased rate of breathing. What is the role/function? CORRECT ANSWERS Removes CO2 (metabolic wastes) from the blood through breathing
What are the two major regulatory systems in the body? CORRECT ANSWERS 1.
Nervous System and fast regulation 2. Endocrine System and slow regulation
What is the normal body temperature? CORRECT ANSWERS 37 degrees celsius and 98.6 degrees fahrenheit
What is the anatomical term used for the hip region? CORRECT ANSWERS Coxal
What is the definition of Cells? CORRECT ANSWERS Smallest units of living things; molecules combine forming organelles (basic cellular components)
What is the definition of Tissues? CORRECT ANSWERS Consists of a group of similar cells having a common function; 4 basic types in the human body: epithelium, muscle, connective tissue, & nervous tissue
What is the definition of Organs? CORRECT ANSWERS Discrete structure made up of at least two tissue types; performs a specific function for the body What is the definition of Organ Systems? CORRECT ANSWERS Consists of different organs that work closely together.

Define Matrix CORRECT ANSWERS an insoluble, dynamic gel in the cytoplasm,
believed to be involved in cell shape determination and locomotive mechanism
Define simple epithelia CORRECT ANSWERS single-cell layer
Define stratified epithelia CORRECT ANSWERS two or more cell layers
Define pseudostratified epithelia CORRECT ANSWERS single layer of cells with different heights (some do not reach the free surface); nuclei are seen at different levels (false appearance of multilayers)
