Human Anatomy & Physiology
(11th Edition) Chapter 1
Questions And Correct Answers
Anatomy - (Correct Answer) Studies the structure of body parts and their
relationships to one another
Physiology - (Correct Answer) Concerns the function of the body, in other
words how the body parts work and carry out their life sustaining
activities
Gross(macroscopic) anatomy - (Correct Answer) study of large body
structures visible to the naked eye
Regional Anatomy - (Correct Answer) All the structures (muscles, bones,
blood vessels, nerves calm,etc.) in a particular region of the body, such as
the abdomen or leg, are examined at the same time
Systemic anatomy - (Correct Answer) body structure is studied system by
system
surface anatomy - (Correct Answer) the study of internal structures as
they relate to the overlying skin surface
Microscopic Anatomy - (Correct Answer) deals with structures too small to
be seen with the naked eye
Cytology - (Correct Answer) study of cells
Histology - (Correct Answer) study of tissues
embryology - (Correct Answer) study of embryos and their development
pathological anatomy - (Correct Answer) study of structural changes
caused by disease
radiographic anatomy - (Correct Answer) studies internal structures as
visualized by X-ray images or specialized scanning procedures
Palpation - (Correct Answer) feeling organs with your hands
, Auscultation - (Correct Answer) Listening to organ sounds with a
stethoscope
Renal Physiology - (Correct Answer) concerns kidney function and urine
production
Neurophysiology - (Correct Answer) explains the workings of the nervous
system
cardiovascular physiology - (Correct Answer) examines the operation of
the heart and blood vessels
principle of complementarity of structure and function - (Correct Answer)
function always reflects structure; what a structure can do depends on its
specific form
chemical level - (Correct Answer) atoms combine to form molecules
Atoms - (Correct Answer) Building blocks of matter
Molecules - (Correct Answer) Groups of two or more atoms held together
by chemical bonds
organelles - (Correct Answer) A tiny cell structure that carries out a
specific function within the cell
Cells - (Correct Answer) smallest unit of life
Tissues - (Correct Answer) Groups of cells with a common structure and
function
Levels of organization - (Correct Answer) cell, tissue, organ, organ system,
organism
maintaining boundaries - (Correct Answer) the internal environment
remains distinct from the external environment
plasma membrane - (Correct Answer) A selectively-permeable
phospholipid bilayer forming the boundary of the cells
intracellular fluid - (Correct Answer) fluid within cells
extracellular fluid - (Correct Answer) fluid outside the cell
Movement - (Correct Answer) activities promoted by the muscular system
Contractility - (Correct Answer) ability to shorten when an adequate
stimulus is received
