Chapter 1: Seeley's Essentials of
Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomical anatomy - Correct Answer-Use of X-ray, ultrasound, Magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI)
Systemic anatomy - Correct Answer-The study of the body by systems.
Ex. Cardiovascular, nervous, skeletal, muscular.
Regional anatomy - Correct Answer-The study of the organization of the body by area.
Ex. head, abdomen, arm.
Surface anatomy - Correct Answer-The study of external features
Ex. Bony projections.
Physiology - Correct Answer-The study of how the body and its parts work or function
Major goals of physiology - Correct Answer-1. To understand and predict the body's
responses to stimuli.
2. To understand how the body maintains conditions within a narrow range of values in
the presence of continually changing internal and external environments.
Human physiology - Correct Answer-Study of a specific organism, the human.
Cellular physiology - Correct Answer-The biological study of the activities which take
place in a cell to keep it alive.
Systemic physiology - Correct Answer-The study of the function of the body's systems.
What is the relationship between Anatomy and Physiology? - Correct Answer-The
relationship between anatomy and physiology are that they will always correlate with
each other anatomy being the study of the actual physical organs and their structure as
well as their relationship to each other. While physiology studies how those organs work
to function the whole body as organ systems.
Why would you have a hard time learning and understanding physiology if you did not
know anatomy? - Correct Answer-Without understanding the parts and structure of the
body it would be impossible to learn how those parts worked as a function to create the
human being.
, Six structural levels - Correct Answer-1. Chemical level
2. Cell level
3. tissue level
4. Organ level
5. Organ systems level
6. Organism level
Anatomy - Correct Answer-The study of the shape and structure of the body and its
parts, and their relationship to each other
Chemical level - Correct Answer-The chemical level is the most basic level of structural
organization. It consists of atoms (tiny building blocks of matter) and molecules
(sugar,water) which also form microscopic cells.
Cell level - Correct Answer-Consists of cells (The smallest unit of living things). Cells
vary widely in shape and size and have their own particular functions in the body.
Tissue level - Correct Answer-Tissues consist of groups of similar cells with a common
function. there are four basic tissue types, each of these tissue types perform unique
but definite roles in the human body.
What are the 4 tissue types? - Correct Answer-Epithelial
Connective
Muscular
Nervous
Organ level - Correct Answer-Consists of Organs which are structures composed of two
or more tissue types to perform a simple function. At this level complex function
becomes possible for example the organ small intestine is made up of all four of the
tissue types to be able to digest and absorb food.
Organ system level - Correct Answer-An Organ System is a group of organs that work
together accomplish a complex function in the body. There are 11 organ systems in the
human body that all work together to create the interior and exterior of the human being.
Organism level - Correct Answer-The organismal level represents the highest level of
structural organization. It is the sum total of all the organ systems working together to
keep us alive.
Organelle - Correct Answer-Small, little organ. Specialized part of a cell preforming one
or more specific functions.
Organism - Correct Answer-Any living thing
Six characteristics of life - Correct Answer-1. Organization
2. Metabolism
