QUESTIONS 2026/2027 (ACTUAL EXAM)
WITH CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS ||
ALREADY GRADED A+ RECENT VERSION
Anatomy - ANSWER The study of the internal and external body structures and
their physical relationships among other body parts.
Physiology - ANSWER The study of how living organisms perform their vital
functions.
Principle of Complementarity of Structure and Function - ANSWER All
specific functions are performed by specific structure, and the form of a structure
relates to its function.
Human Anatomy - ANSWER The study of the structure of the human body.
Gross Anatomy - ANSWER Involves studying fairly large structures. It can be
conducted without using a microscope, and it can involve the dissecting of a
cadaver
, Surface Anatomy (Superficial Anatomy) - ANSWER The study of the general
form of the body's surface, especially in relation to its deeper parts.
Organism - ANSWER Is any living thing considered as a whole, whether
composed of one cell, such as a bacterium, or of trillions of cells, such as a human.
Characteristics of life - ANSWER Organization
Metabolism
Responsiveness
Growth
Development
Reproduction
Organization - ANSWER Refers to the specific interrelationships among the
parts of an organism and how those parts interact to perform specific functions.
Metabolism - ANSWER Refers to all of the chemical reactions taking place in
the cells and internal environment of an organism.
Responsiveness - ANSWER An organism's ability to sense changes in its
external or internal environment and adjust to those changes.
Growth - ANSWER Refers to an increase in the size or number of cells, which
produces and over all enlargement of all or part of an organism.
, Development - ANSWER Includes the changes an organism undergoes through
time, beginning with fertilization and ending at death
Anatomy - ANSWER The branch of science that studies the structure of the
body
Physiology - ANSWER The branch of science that describes how the body
functions
Atoms - ANSWER The smallest unit of matter
Molecules - ANSWER Chemical combinations of atoms; form the building
blocks of cells
Cells - ANSWER The basic structural and functional units of life
Tissues - ANSWER Groups of similar cells that perform a specific function
Organs - ANSWER Structures composed of two or more tissue types that
perform a specific function
Organ systems - ANSWER Groups of organs working together to perform
complex functions
, Human organism - ANSWER The highest level of organization; a complete
living individual
Metabolism - ANSWER All chemical reactions in the body that support life
Dorsal Tectum - ANSWER The ____ of the midbrain is a reflex center that
controls movement of the head and eyeballs and head and trunk in response to
visual and auditory stimuli.
Gyri, Sulci - ANSWER Folds on the surface of the cerebrum are called ____
and intervening groves are called ____.
Corpus Callosum - ANSWER The two hemispheres of the cerebrum are
connected by a bridge of nerve fibers called the ____.
Adaptive Immune System - ANSWER A subset of the human immune system
that creates immunological memory that is specific to a particular pathogen or its
antigen
Cytotoxic T Cells - ANSWER T cells that can kill a specific antigen
Helper T Cells - ANSWER T cells that help to activate other immune cells
Innate Immune System - ANSWER Subset of the human immune system that
provides rapid, nonspecific responses to pathogens
