2025 Anatomy and Physiology Final
Exam new questions and answers
Definition of Anatomy - answer- Study of the structure of body parts and their relationship to one
another.
Definition of Gross Anatomy - answer- A.k.A. Macroscopic Anatomy; Large visible structures (naked eye)
Definition of Histology - answer- 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? - answer- Removes CO2
(metabolic wastes) from the blood through breathing
What are the two major regulatory systems in the body? - answer- 1. Nervous System and fast
regulation 2. Endocrine System and slow regulation
What is the normal body temperature? - answer- 37 degrees celsius and 98.6 degrees fahrenheit
What is the anatomical term used for the hip region? - answer- Coxal
What is the definition of Cells? - answer- Smallest units of living things; molecules combine forming
organelles (basic cellular components)
What is the definition of Tissues? - answer- 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? - answer- Discrete structure made up of at least two tissue types;
performs a specific function for the body
What is the definition of Organ Systems? - answer- Consists of different organs that work closely
together.
