Human Biology Chapter 1 Study Guide
Exam Questions and Answers
Functions of All Living Things - Answer-Responsiveness, Growth, Reproduction,
Movement, Metabolism
Anatomy - Answer-The structure of things. "A cutting open"
Gross Anatomy/Macroscopic Anatomy - Answer-Studies visible structures. Includes
surface, regional, and systemic anatomy.
Microscopic Anatomy - Answer-Studies structures that can't be seen without
magnification. Includes cytology (cells) and histology (tissues)
Physiology - Answer-The function of the anatomical structures
Special Physiology - Answer-Study of the physiology of the specific organs
Pathological physiology/pathology - Answer-Study of the effects of diseases an
organ or system functions.
Levels of Organization - Answer-Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System,
Organism
11 Organ Systems of the Human Body - Answer-Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular,
Nervous, Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary,
Reproductive
Integumentary System - Answer-Protects against environmental hazards; helps
control body temperature. (Hair, skin, nails.)
Skeletal System - Answer-Provides support; protects tissues, stores minerals; forms
blood cells.
Muscular System - Answer-Allows for locomotion; provides support; produces heat
Nervous System - Answer-Directs immediate responses to stimuli, usually by
coordinating the activities of other organ systems.
Endocrine System - Answer-Directs long-term changes in activities of other organ
systems
Cardiovascular System - Answer-Transports cells and dissolved materials, including
nutrients, wastes, and gases.
Lymphatic System - Answer-Defends against infection and disease, returns tissue
fluid to the bloodstream.
