QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Define Anatomy - Correct Answers -Anatomy is he study of structure and form of the
body parts
Define Physiology - Correct Answers -Physiology is the study of the function of the body
parts
What is Microscopic Anatomy? Name 2 subdivisions. - Correct Answers -The study of
structures that cannot be seen by the unaided eye. 1) Cytology (study of the body cells
and their internal structure); 2) Histology (study of tissues)
What is Gross Anatomy? What are the 5 subdivisions? - Correct Answers -Gross
anatomy is the study of structure and the relationships of parts visible to the unaided
eye. 1) Systemic anatomy; 2) Regional Anatomy; 3) Surface Anatomy; 4) Comparative
Anatomy; 5) Embryology
Describe the 6 levels of organization in the human body. - Correct Answers -(From
simplest to most complex) 1) Chemical Level; 2) Cellular Level; 3) Tissue Level; 4)
Organ; 5) Organ System level; 6) Organismal Level
Name and describe four types of tissues. - Correct Answers -1) Epithelial (Covers
exposed surfaces and lines body cavities); 2) Connective Tissue (Protects, supports,
and binds structures and organs); 3) Muscle Tissue (Produces movement); 4) Nervous
Tissue (conducts nerve impulses for communication)
Name the 11 Organ Systems - Correct Answers -1 - Integumentary
2 - Muscular
3 - Skeletal
4 - Nervous
5 - Endocrine
6 - Lymphatic
7 - Respiratory
8 - Cardiovascular
9 - Urinary
10 - Digestive
11 - Male / Female Reproductive
, Describe the primary function of the muscular system - Correct Answers -Produce body
movement; generate heat when muscles contract
Describe the primary function of the Integumentary system - Correct Answers -Provide
protection; regulate body temperature; site of cutaneous receptors and some glands;
synthesize vitamin D; prevent water loss
Describe the primary function of the skeletal system - Correct Answers -Provide support
and protection; site of homeopoiesis (blood cell production); store calcium and
phosphorus; provide sites for muscle attachment
Describe the primary function of the nervous system - Correct Answers -Regulatory
system that controls muscles and some glands; responds to sensory stimuli;
responsible for consciousness, intelligence, and memory
Describe the primary function of the endocrine system - Correct Answers -Secrete
hormones which regulate development, growth, and metabolism; maintain homeostasis
of blood composition and volume; control digestive processes; control reproduction
Describe the primary function of the Lymphatic system - Correct Answers -Transport
and filter lymphs; participate in an immune response when necessary.
Describe the primary function of the Cardiovascular system - Correct Answers -Consists
of the heart and blood vessels; The heart moves blood in order to distribute hormones,
nutrients, and gases, and pick up waste products
Describe the primary function of the Respiratory System - Correct Answers -
Responsible for exchange of gases between the blood and the air in the lungs
Describe the primary function of the Urinary System - Correct Answers -Filter the blood
to remove waste and biologically active molecules; concentrate waste in the form of
urine and expel urine from the body
Describe the primary function of the Digestive SYstem - Correct Answers -Mechanically
and chemically digest food materials; absorb nutrients and expel waste products
Describe the primary function of the male and female reproductive systems - Correct
Answers -Male: Produce male sex cells (sperm) and hormones; transfer sperm to
female.
Female: Produce female sex cells (oocytes) and hormones (estrogen and
progesterone); receive sperm; site of fertilization, growth and development of embryo
and fetus; produce and secrete breastmilk for nourishment of newborn.,
Describe the anatomic position - Correct Answers -An individual in the anatomic
position is standing upright with the feet parallel and flat on the floor; upper limbs are at
