Human Anatomy Exam test
questions and answers graded A+
Anatomy - ANS✅✅study of the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another
Physiology - ANS✅✅study of the function of body parts: how they work to carry out life sustaining
activities
Gross Anatomy - ANS✅✅Also called macroscopic studies large, visible structures.
System anatomy - ANS✅✅looks at just one system such as cardiovascular, nervous system,
muscular, etc.
Histology - ANS✅✅study of tissues
Cytology - ANS✅✅study of cells
Complementarity of Structure and Function - ANS✅✅This shows the close relationship between
anatomy and physiology and that they are basically inseparable.
Function always reflects structure.
What a structure can do depends on its form.
Different levels of structural organization that make up the human body: - ANS✅✅Chemical level
is when atoms combine to form molecules
Cellular level has cells made up of molecules
Tissue level has tissues that consist of similar types of cells
Organ level has organs made up of different types of tissues
Organ system level has organ systems that are made up of different organs that work together
Organism level is the biggest/human organism that is made up of lots of organ systems.
The 11 organ systems of the body, their components and major functions -
ANS✅✅Cardiovascular / Circulatory system:
, Circulates blood around the body via the heart, arteries and veins, delivering oxygen and nutrients to
organs and cells and carrying their waste products away.
Digestive system / Excretory system:
Mechanical and chemical processes that provide nutrients via the mouth, esophagus, stomach and
intestines.
Eliminates waste from the body.
Endocrine system:
Provides chemical communications within the body using hormones.
Integumentary system/ Exocrine system:
Skin, hair, nails, sweat and other exocrine glands.
Lymphatic system / Immune system:
The system comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph.
Defends the body against disease-causing agents.
Muscular system
Enables the body to move using muscles.
Nervous system:
Collects and processes information from the senses via nerves and the brain and tells the muscles to
contract to cause physical actions.
Renal system / Urinary system:
The system where the kidneys filter blood.
Reproductive system:
The sex organs required for the production of offspring.
Respiratory system
The lungs and the trachea that bring air into the body.
Skeletal system
The Functional characteristics necessary to maintain human life - ANS✅✅Maintaining boundaries
(plasma membranes separate cells, skin)
Movement
Responsiveness
Digestion (breakdown food you eat)
Metabolism (sum of catabolism-breakdown of molecules and anabolism-synthesis of molecules)
