Anatomy and Physiology: An Integrative Approach
Instructor Answer Key to In-chapter and End-of-chapter Questions
Chapter 1
Answers to “What Did You Learn?”
1. Anatomy is the study of structure and form, while physiology is the study of function.
2. If a health-care worker must perform CPR, the worker uses surface anatomy to palpate and locate the
xiphoid process of the sternum, and then move the hands slightly superiorly to start CPR chest compressions.
3. Cardiovascular physiology examines how the heart, blood vessels and blood function.
4. Anatomists focus on the form and structure of the small intestine. They examine the cells and tissues that
form the small intestine and describe the layers of the small intestinal wall. Physiologists focus on the
function of the small intestine. They examine how the muscle of the smooth intestine propels food through
the digestive tract and describe the process by which nutrients are broken down and absorbed. Both
anatomists and physiologists know that form and function of the small intestine are interrelated.
5. When you study with a partner, each of you helps the other identify gaps in your knowledge, keep study
sessions focused and on track, and serve as a sounding board when explaining a concept.
6. The ability of organisms to respond to stimuli such as changes in either their external or internal
environment provides them with a mechanism for maintaining a constant internal environment, even as the
environment around them changes.
7.
Level of organization Structural Unit Example in the body Simple or complex?
Chemical Atoms and molecules DNA Most simple
Cellular cell Skeletal muscle cell More complex that
chemical
Tissue Tissues Epithelial tissue More complex than
cellular
Organ Organ stomach More complex than
tissue
Organ system Multiple organs Digestive system More complex than
organ
Organismal Organism Human Most complex
8. The urinary system is responsible for filtering and removing waste products from the blood.
9. A transverse plane, also called a horizontal or cross-sectional plane, would divide the mouth into superior and
inferior sections.
10. Proximal.
11. A student’s drawing and labeling should look similar to figure 1.7.
12. The lungs are located within the thoracic cavity. The serous membranes surrounding them consist of the parietal
pleura, lining the inside of the body wall, and the visceral pleura, lining the individual lungs.
,13. Epigastric
14. A homeostatic system consists of a receptor, such as a sensory neuron in the skin or a stretch receptor within a
muscle, that detects either an internal or external stimulus; a control system that integrates the input from the
receptor, such as the brain or an endocrine gland; and an effector, such as a muscle or a gland, that causes
changes in response to the stimulus.
15. Receptors in the skin, and the hypothalamus, both act as receptors to detect changes in body temperature.
(The skin receptors detect skin temperature changes, while the hypothalamus detects temperature changes in
the blood). The hypothalamus also acts as the control center, as it signals the effectors to respond to bring the
body temperature back to a set point. The effectors are blood vessels, skeletal muscle, and smooth muscle
(when the body is trying to conserve heat), whereas the effectors are blood vessels and sweat glands (when the
body is trying to release heat).
16. Negative feedback systems involve responses that are in opposition to the stimulus, thereby maintaining the
environment near the set point or normal level. Conversely, positive feedback systems entail a series of
responses, each increasing in intensity, until a climax event is reached, at which point the system will return to
homeostasis.
17. Diabetes, an inability of the body to maintain blood sugar levels, may result in damage to anatomical structures
throughout the body due to high levels of glucose.
Answers to “Do You Know the Basics?”
1. B
Feedback: Surface anatomy correlates superficial markings on the surface of the body and skin to deeper anatomical
features.
2. C
Feedback: Organs are often composed of several tissue types working in concert to perform a common function.
3. A
Feedback: An organism’s metabolism is the sum of all of its biochemical reactions.
4. C
Feedback: A midsagittal or median plane separates the body into equal right and left halves as compared to simply a
sagittal section, which separates the body into unequal right and left portions. There can be numerous sagittal planes
but only one possible midsagittal section along the midline of the body.
5. D
Feedback: The term proximal is used to describe the position of a structure on an appendage closest to the point
of attachment to the trunk. Although in standard anatomical position a structure that is proximal is often also
superior, proximal is the correct term for describing the position along an appendage. The term superior may be
used to describe positions along the axis of the body, closer to the head.
6. A
Feedback: The patellar region is the anterior portion of the knee. The popliteal region is the posterior portion of the
knee.
7. A
Feedback: The diaphragm comprises the barrier between the superior thoracic cavity and the inferior abdominal
cavity. The pelvic cavity is located inferior to the superior edges of the pelvic bones.
, 8. D
Feedback: The pleural cavity surrounding the lungs consists of the parietal pleura, lining the internal walls of the
thoracic cavity, and the visceral pleura, lining the surface of the lungs.
9. B
Feedback: Homeostasis is an automated process for maintaining a constant internal environment.
10. D
Feedback: The effector increasing the stimulus is an example of positive feedback. In a negative feedback
system, the response moves the system in opposition to the stimulus, back toward the set point.
11. Anatomy is the study of structure and form, whereas physiology is the study of how the structures function.
It is important to understand the anatomy of a structure in order to understand how it performs its function.
Conversely, understanding the function of an anatomical feature helps to put into perspective the significance of
its arrangement.
12. The simplest level of organization within an organism is found at the chemical level and is composed of atoms
and molecules. At the cellular level of organization, molecules are organized into cells and subcellular components,
forming the basic units of life. Groupings of similar cells performing similar functions are referred to as tissues,
and groups of tissues may be found working in concert, forming organs at the organ level of organization. Related
groups of organs working together in order to coordinate activities within the organism are called organ systems.
13. A hierarchical organization, metabolism, growth and development, responsiveness, regulation, and
reproduction are characteristics common to all living organisms. All living things are arranged in a hierarchical
manner with increasing levels of complexity from molecules to cells. They are capable of metabolism, growth and
development, and responsiveness to stimuli. They are also able to regulate their internal environment in order to
maintain homeostasis, ultimately surviving long enough to reproduce.
14. The human body consists of eleven organ systems. They are the integumentary, skeletal, muscular,
nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, digestive, and reproductive systems.
15. A body in anatomical position is standing upright with the feet flat on the floor. The upper limbs are at the
side of the body with palms facing anteriorly. The head is level and the eyes are looking forward. The anatomic
position is the point of common reference used by anatomists and physiologists for accuracy and clarity. It
provides an initial point of reference, from which all anatomic parts are described.
16. The forearm is the antebrachial region, the wrist is the carpal region, the chest is the thoracic region, the
armpit is the axillary region, the thigh is the femoral region, and the entire foot is the pes.
17. The cranial cavity and vertebral canal are located within the posterior aspect of the body. The cranial cavity
houses the brain and the vertebral canal contains the spinal cord.
18. The serous membranes are found lining the compartments of the ventral cavity of the body. They consist of a
parietal layer lining the inside of the body wall and a visceral layer covering internal organs. In between the two
membranes is a potential space, the serous cavity, which contains serous fluid.
19. A homeostatic system consists of a receptor that detects an internal or external stimulus, a control system that
integrates the input from the receptor, and an effector, such as a muscle or a gland, that causes changes in response
to the stimulus.
20. Negative feedback systems involve responses that are in opposition to the stimulus, thereby maintaining the
environment near the set point or normal level. Conversely, positive feedback systems entail a series of responses,
each increasing in intensity until a climax event is reached, at which point the system will return to homeostasis.
