A&P 1 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS #1
Macroscopic - correct answer Gross Anatomy
Gross Anatomy - correct answer is the study of structure large enough to be seen with
the naked eye. EX. heart, lungs and kidneys.
Regional Anatomy - correct answer the study of anatomy based on regions or divisions
of the body and emphasizing the relations between various structures (muscles and
nerves and arteries etc.) in that region
Microscopic Anatomy - correct answer Deals with structures too small to be seen with
the naked eye.
Cytology - correct answer The study of individual cells, the branch of biology that
studies the structure and function of cells
Embryology - correct answer a subdivision of developmental anatomy, concerns
developmental changes that occur before birth
Histology - correct answer The study of tissues,the branch of biology that studies the
microscopic structure of animal or plant tissues
Cervical - correct answer relating to or associated with the neck
Intergumentary system - correct answer Major organs: skin, hair, sweat glands, nails,
Functions: protects against environmental hazards; helps regulate body temperature;
provide sensory information
Skeleton system - correct answer an internal or external framework of bone, cartilage,
or other rigid material supporting or containing the body of an animal or plant
Muscular system - correct answer The bodily system that is composed of skeletal,
smooth, and cardiac muscle tissue and functions in movement of the body or of
materials through the body, maintenance of posture, and heat production.
Nervous system - correct answer the body's speedy, electrochemical communication
system, consisting of all the nerve cells of the peripheral and central nervous systems
Lymphatic system - correct answer system made of lymph nodes, blood vessels
Respiratory system - correct answer made of air way and lungs, The organ system
responsible for the intake of oxygen and diffusion of that gas into the blood and the
elimination of carbon dioxide from the body.
, Urinary system - correct answer consisting of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra,
removes wastes from the blood and helps to maintain water and electrolyte balance
Metabolism - correct answer includes all chemical reactions that occur in the body, two
functions (catabolism and anabolism)
Catabolism - correct answer provide energy by breaking down complex molecules into
simple molecules. (e.g) Protein-> amino acid
Anabolism - correct answer uses the energy from catabolism to build up the bodys
structural and functions component. aslo called biosynthesis
Anterior - correct answer Toward the front
Ventral - correct answer same as Anterior (toward the front)
Posterior - correct answer Toward the Back
Dorsal - correct answer same as Posterior (toward the back)
Anatomical Postion - correct answer body erect, feet slightly apart, palms facing forward
medial - correct answer Toward the midline
Lateral - correct answer Away from the midline
Supine - correct answer To recline one's back: lie on back
Prone - correct answer To recline one's front: lie on stomach
Homeostasis - correct answer metabolic equilibrium actively maintained by several
complex biological mechanisms that operate via the autonomic nervous system to offset
disrupting changes
Ribosomes - correct answer that are sites of protein synthesis. packing of lipids and
protein
Lysosomes - correct answer Contain digestive enzymes or acid hydrolases and help to
break down substances
DNA - correct answer The sugar is deoxyribose, The bases are
Adenine,Thymine,Cytosine,and Guanine. The molecule is a double helix, it is found in
the nucleus of a cell never leaves the nucleus
RNA - correct answer The sugar is ribose, The bases are Adenine,Uracil, Cytosine,and
Guanine. The molecule is single stranded
