BODY: AN
ORIENTATION
Most of us have a natural curiosity about our bodies, and a study of anatomy
and physiology elaborates on this interest. Anatomists have developed a univer-
sally acceptable set of reference terms that allows body structures to be located
and identified with a high degree of clarity. Initially, students might have diffi-
culties with the language used to describe anatomy and physiology, but without
such a special vocabulary, confusion is bound to occur.
The topics in this chapter enable students to test their mastery of terminology
commonly used to describe the body and its various parts, and concepts con-
cerning functions vital for life and homeostasis. Body organization from simple
to complex levels and an introduction to the organ systems forming the body
as a whole are also covered.
AN OVERVIEW OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
1. Match the terms in Column B to the appropriate descriptions provided
in Column A. Enter the correct letter or its corresponding term in the
answer blanks.

2. The study of the shape and structure C. Metabolism
of body parts
D. Physiology
3. The tendency of the body’s systems to
maintain a relatively constant or balanced
internal environment
4. The term that indicates all chemical
reactions occurring in the body
