What is anatomy?
CORRECT ANSWER:
the study of structure of body parts and their relationship to one another
What is physiology?
CORRECT ANSWER:
the study of function of the body - how the body parts work and carry out their
life sustaining activities
What is gross or macroscopic anatomy?
CORRECT ANSWER:
the study of the large body structures, visible to the naked eye such as heart,
lungs kidneys
What is regional anatomy?
CORRECT ANSWER:
the study of all the structures in a particular region of the body.ex: abdomen or
legs
What is systemic anatomy?
CORRECT ANSWER:
the study of body systems such as the cardiovascular system
What are the 3 different subdivisions of gross or macroscopic anatomy?
CORRECT ANSWER:
,regional, systemic, and surface anatomy
What is surface anatomy?
CORRECT ANSWER:
the study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface - e.g. -
identifying the bulging muscles beneath a bodybuilders skin or to locate
appropriate blood vessels in which to feel pulses or draw blood
What are 2 subdivisions of study for microscopic anatomy?
CORRECT ANSWER:
cytology (cells) and histology (tissues)
What is developmental anatomy?
CORRECT ANSWER:
Tracing structural changes that occur in the body throughout the life span --
Embryology is a subdivision of developmental anatomy that concerns
developmental changes occurring before birth
What are some subdivisions of physiology?
CORRECT ANSWER:
renal physiology (operation of kidney), neurophysiology (nervous system), and
cardiovascular physiology (operation of the heart and blood vessels)
What is the principle of complementarity?
CORRECT ANSWER:
anatomy and physiology are inseparable, the function always refects structure
and what a structure can do depends on its specific form.
In what way does physiology depend of anatomy?
CORRECT ANSWER:
the operation or function of a structure is dictated by its anatomy
Would you be studying anatomy or physiology if you investigated how muscles
shorten? If you explored the location of the lungs in the body?
CORRECT ANSWER:
,Muscle shortening is a topic of physiology. The body location of the lungs is an
anatomy topic.
What are the levels of structural organization?
CORRECT ANSWER:
chemical (atoms and molecules), cellular, tissue, organ, organ system and
organismal level
What does the digestive system do?
CORRECT ANSWER:
takes in nutrients, breaks them down into simple molecules that can be
absorbed into the blood, and eliminates unabsorbed matter (feces)
What does the respiratory system do?
CORRECT ANSWER:
takes in oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide
What does the urinary system do?
CORRECT ANSWER:
eliminates nitrogenous wastes and excess ions
What does the cardiovascular system do?
CORRECT ANSWER:
via the blood, distributes oxygen and nutrients to all body cells and delivers
wastes and carbon dioxide to deposal organs
What does the integumentary system do?
CORRECT ANSWER:
Skin, hair and nails protect the body as a whole from the external environment -
drying out, bacteria, heat, sunlight, chemicals
all ____ depend on organ systems to meet their survival needs
CORRECT ANSWER:
cells
_____ ____ work cooperatively to perform necessary life functions
, CORRECT ANSWER:
organ systems
Integumentary system
CORRECT ANSWER:
Forms the external body covering and protects deeper tissues from injury -
made up of hair, nails and skin
Skeletal System
CORRECT ANSWER:
Protects and supports body organs and provides a framework the muscles use
to support movement. Made up of bones and joints
Muscular system
CORRECT ANSWER:
Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression.
Made up of skeletal muscles
Nervous system
CORRECT ANSWER:
The fast acting control system of the body; it responds to internal and external
changes by activating appropriate muscles muscles and glands. Made up of the
the brain, nerves and spinal cord
Endocrine system
CORRECT ANSWER:
Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth,
reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells. Mad up of pineal,
pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands, thymus, pancreas, ovaries and testis
Cardiovascular system
CORRECT ANSWER:
Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients,
wastes, etc. The heart pumps blood. Made up of blood vessels and heart
Lymphatic system/ immunity
