PRINCIPLES OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
14TH EDITION TEST BANK QUESTIONS AND
DETAILED ANSWERS
◉ Anatomy. Answer: The word comes from a Greek root that means 'To
cut apart.'
◉ Dissection. Answer: Still used in medical schools, pathology labs, and
anatomy courses.
◉ Microscopic Anatomy. Answer: Includes Histology and Cytology.
◉ Systematic Anatomy. Answer: The study of the structures that make
up a discrete body system, working together to perform a unique
function.
◉ Human Physiology. Answer: The scientific study of the structures of
the body and how they work together to support life functions.
◉ Homeostasis. Answer: The state of steady internal condition
maintained by living things.
, ◉ Organ. Answer: An anatomically distinct structure of the body
composed of two or more tissue types.
◉ Multicellular. Answer: In organisms like humans, all cells, tissues,
organs, and organ systems work together to maintain life and health.
◉ Cell. Answer: Every cell in the body makes use of the chemical
compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to store and release energy.
◉ Responsiveness. Answer: The ability of an organism to adjust to
changes in its internal and external environments.
◉ Development. Answer: Includes all the changes the body goes
through in life, such as differentiation, growth, and repair.
◉ Adaptation. Answer: Humans have been adapting to life on Earth for
at least the past 200,000 years.
◉ ATP Production. Answer: Atmospheric air is only about 20% oxygen,
a key component in the chemical reactions that produce ATP.
◉ Controlled Hypothermia. Answer: Used in medical procedures to
decrease the metabolic needs of the brain, heart, and other organs,
reducing the risk of damage.
