Human anatomy test questions and
answers graded A+
Anatomy - ANS✅✅the study of the structure (form) of the body
Physiology - ANS✅✅the study of body function
Levels of organization (order of complexity) - ANS✅✅organism, organ systems, organs, tissues,
cells, organelles, atoms, molecules
number of organ systems in the body - ANS✅✅11
respiratory system - ANS✅✅- system of organs, functioning in the process of gas exchange
between the body and the environment
- nose, nasal passages, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
nervous system - ANS✅✅- the network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses
between parts of the body
- brain, spinal cord, nerves
endocrine system - ANS✅✅- the body's "slow" chemical communication system; a set of glands
that secrete hormones into the bloodstream
- pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, thymus, adrenal glands, pancreas,
testes, ovaries
digestive system - ANS✅✅- breaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for
distribution to body cells
- teeth, tongue, salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder,
pancreas
reproductive system - ANS✅✅- system of organs involved in producing offspring
- testes, penis, ovaries, and vagina
, integumentary system - ANS✅✅- insulation of the body, protection of the body from
environmental hazards, and regulation of body temperature and water
- hair, skin, nails, mucous membranes

- lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, thymus, spleen, tonsils
urinary system - ANS✅✅- eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body, regulates water,
electrolyte and acid-base balance of the blood
- kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra
cardiovascular system - ANS✅✅- transport system of the body responsible for carrying oxygen and
nutrients to the body and carrying away carbon dioxide and other wastes
- heart, blood vessels, and blood
skeletal system - ANS✅✅- gives our bodies structure and protects major organs like the heart,
lungs, and brain
- bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons
muscular system - ANS✅✅- allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial
expression
- maintains posture, and produces heat
- skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle
anatomical position - ANS✅✅erect, feet forward, arms at side with palms facing forward, head
facing forward
supine position - ANS✅✅lying on back, facing upward
prone position - ANS✅✅lying on abdomen, facing downward
anatomical plane - ANS✅✅a hypothetical plane used to transect the human body, in order to
describe the location of structures or the direction of movements
