bio 210 lecture exam 1
Anatomy - correct answer-studies the form and structure of the body.
Physiology - correct answer-examines living organisms and their parts of how they function
Microscopic anatomy - correct answer-examines structures that cannot be observed by the
unaided eye
Two main subdivisions of microscopic anatomy - correct answer-cytology and histology
cytology - correct answer-study of cells
Histology - correct answer-study of tissues
Gross anatomy or macroscopic anatomy - correct answer-investigates the structure visible to
the aided eye
Systematic anatomy - correct answer-each individual body system
Regional anatomy - correct answer-all the structures in a particular region of the body
Surface anatomy - correct answer-focuses on superficial anatomic markings and internal
body structures
Comparative anatomy - correct answer-examines similarities and differences in the anatomy
of different species
Embryology - correct answer-studies developmental changes from conception to birth
Pathologic anatomy - correct answer-examines anatomic changes resulting from disease
Radiographic anatomy - correct answer-investigates internal structures with visual scanning
procedures
Physiology - correct answer-examines living organisms and their parts of how they function
Cardiovascular physiology - correct answer-the functioning of the heart, blood vessels and
blood
Neurophysiology - correct answer-functioning of the nerves and nervous system organs
Pathophysiology - correct answer-relationship between the function of an organ system and
disease of injury of the system
Respiratory physiology - correct answer-functioning of respiratory organs
, Reproductive physiology - correct answer-the functioning of the hormones and reproductive
cycle
Homeostasis - correct answer-the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment
Receptor - correct answer-component of homeostasis that the structure that detects
changes in the stimulus, sensory nerves
Stimulus - correct answer-component of homeostasis that changes in a variable that is
regulated
Control center - correct answer-component of homeostasis that processes the change that
occurred from the receptor
Negative feedback - correct answer-if it is high, lower it. If it is low, raise it. Negative because
the response is opposite of the stimulus
Set point - correct answer-variable maintained within a normal level
The hypothalamus - correct answer-part of the brain that regulates body temperature
Positive feedback - correct answer-moves the stimulus in the same direction, occurs less
frequently than negative feedback
Simplest levels of organization composed of chemical structures - correct answer-atoms,
ions, and molecules
Human body is composed of matter - correct answer-solid, liquid, gas that is anything that
has mass or takes up space
Matter is composed of - correct answer-atoms
Atom - correct answer-smallest particle that exhibits the chemical properties of an element
Atoms are composed of three subatomic particles - correct answer-protons (+), neutrons,
electrons (-)
Chemical compounds - correct answer-stable associations between two or more elements
combines in a fixed radio
Ionic compounds - correct answer-are structures composed of ions held together in a lattice
of ionic bonds
Ions - correct answer-groups of atoms with a positive or negative charge
Positively charged - correct answer-Sodium ion Potassium ion Calcium ion Magnesium ion
Hydrogen ion
