STRUCTURE & FUNCTION OF THE BODY ED 16
PATTON CH 1
anatomy - correctanswers-the study of an organism and the relationships of its parts; derived from two
word parts that mean "cutting apart"; dissection
dissection - correctanswers-process of cutting the human body apart for learning
physiology - correctanswers-the study of the functions of living organisms and their parts
scientific method - correctanswers-systematic approach to discovery; 1) propose hypothesis - idea or
principle to be tested 2) experimentation - series of tests of a hypothesis (a controlled experiment
eliminates biases or outside influences) 3) theory or law - a hypothesis that has been supported by
experiments and thus shown to have a high degree of confidence
experimental controls - correctanswers-used to ensure that the test situation is not affecting the results
test group - correctanswers-The experimental group that is exposed to the variable in an experiment.
control group - correctanswers-the group that does not receive the experimental treatment.
theory or law - correctanswers-a hypothesis that has gained a high level of confidence
levels of organization - correctanswers-chemical level , organelle level, cellular level, tissue level, organ
level, organ system level, organism level
chemical level - correctanswers-atoms and molecules
cells - correctanswers-smallest "living" units of structure and function; organizations of various
chemicals
, tissues - correctanswers-an organization of many cells that act together to perform a common function
organs - correctanswers-a group of several different kinds of tissues arranged in ways that allow them to
act as a unit to perform a special function
systems - correctanswers-an organization of varying numbers and kinds of organs that can work
together to perform complex functions for the body
organism - correctanswers-organization of all systems together, forming a whole body
microbiome - correctanswers-set of interacting communities of bacteria and other microorganisms that
inhabit the human body; influences normal body funtion
structure fits function - correctanswers-anatomical parts have structures exactly suited to perform
specific functions
anatomical position - correctanswers-To stand erect with arms at the sides and palms of the hands
turned forward; head also points forward, as do the feet, which are aligned at the toe and set slightly
apart
bilateral symmetry - correctanswers-the left and right sides of the body roughly mirror each other
supine - correctanswers-body is lying face upward
prone - correctanswers-body is lying face downward
superior - correctanswers-toward the head; upper, above
inferior - correctanswers-toward the feet; lower, below
anterior - correctanswers-front; in front of; ventral
