Anatomy and Physiology QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS RATED
A+
The central nervous system contains the brain and spinal cord - The brain consists of four major
parts: cerebrum, the cerebellum, the diencephalon, and the brainstem
The peripheral nervous system - subdivided into the somatic and the autonomic nervous system
The somatic nervous system - cranial and spinal nerves that connect the central nervous system
with the skin and skeletal muscles; it is responsible for conscious activities.
The autonomic nervous system - regulates the action of the glands, heart muscle, and smooth
muscles of hollow organs and vessels
Sensory System - he sensory system is commonly broken into the five senses (smell, taste, sight,
hearing, touch and pressure), important senses in human beings.
Smell - olfaction- sense of smell
Gustatory sense or taste - chemical sense produced by stimulation of taste buds. Taste buds are
distributed on the face of the tongue.
Sight - composed of the eye- that is composed of specialized tissues that permits sight. Tears,
lashes, eyelids, muscles, and fatty tissues protect the eye.
Hearing - composed of the ear- the organ provides hearing. It consists of three main part: the
external, middle, and the inner ear.
Blood - The amount of blood within the body of the average human adult is equivalent to a
measurement of five or six liters.
Red blood cells also referred to as RBCs or erythrocytes - are produced in the bone marrow and
live approximately 120 days. RBCs contain hemoglobin, the pigment responsible for the reddish
color of the blood.
White blood cells, also known as leukocytes/5 Types - Neutrophils; Lymphocytes; Monocytes;
Eosinophils; Basaphils
Platelets, also known as thrombocytes - are the smallest cells founds in the blood
The heart is made up of three layers - epicardium, myocardium, and the endocardium
, The lymphatic system - returns excess interstitial fluid to the blood and helps protect the body
against disease.
Respiratory system provides oxygen to cells&removes carbon dioxide - The organs of the
respiratory system consist of the following: nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and the
lungs.
The Digestive System - The organs of the digestive system are as followed: mouth, pharynx,
esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines
The Endocrine System - This system consists of glands whose secretions coordinate many body
functions
The Urinary System - This system removes waste products, salts, and excess water from the
blood and eliminates them from the body.
The Reproductive System - The reproductive system is composed of female and male organs
Integumentary Diseases - Fissure - groove or crack like sore
Nodule - solid, round or oval elevated lesion more than 1 cm in diameter
Ulcer - open sore on the skin or mucous membranes
Vesicle - small collection of clear fluid; blister
Wheal - smooth, slightly elevated, edematous (swollen) area that is redder or paler than the
surrounding skin
Alopecia - absence of hair from areas where it normally grows
Gangrene - death of tissue associated with loss of blood supply
Impetigo bacterial - inflammatory skin disease characterized by lesion, pustules and vesicles.
Musculoskeletal System - Atrophy - decrease in the size of cells, resulting in reduced tissue
mass. A skeletal muscle can go through atrophy as a result of physical exercise or neurological
disease.
Myalgia - muscle pain
Arthritis - inflammation of joints characterized by swelling, redness, warmth, pain and limited
movement.
Osteoarthritis - the most common form of arthritis, affect weight-bearing joints.
