Anatomy and Physiology comprehensive exam 2024 (with solution)
anatomy - ANSWER study of structure and form; derived from Greek word Anatome which means to cut apart or dissect; Anatomists study structure and form of organims studying the relationships among parts of the body and the structure of individual organs
physiology - ANSWER the study of function of the body parts; physiologists examine how organs and body systems function under normal circumstances as well as how their functions are altered with medication or disease
branches of anatomy - ANSWER microscopic- structures that cannot be observed to the unaided eye
(cytology- study of body cells and their internal structure;
histology- study of tissues)
gross anatomy- structures that can be observed to the unaided eye,; macroscopic
(systemic anatomy- anatomy of each body system;
regional anatomy- examines all of the structures in a particular region of the body as a complete unit)
embryology - ANSWER discipline concerned with developmental changes occuring from conception to birth
comparative A&P - ANSWER examines similarities and differences of anatomy and physiology of different species
pathophysiology - ANSWER relationship between the functioning of an organ system and disease or injury to that organ system basic qualities of life - ANSWER organization- each organism has a complex structure and order
metabolism- the sum of all chemical reactions to occur within a body; anabolism (smaller molecules form larger) and catabolism (larger molecules are broken down to smaller)
growth and development- each organism assimilates materials from its environment and often grows and develops
responsiveness- ability to sense and react to stimuli
regulation- ability to adjust or direct internal bodily function in the face of environmental changes- homeostasis- ability of an organism to maintain a consistent internal environment
organization of the human body - ANSWER chemical level- consists of atoms, molecules, macromolecules, and organelles
cell level- consists of cells, made up of structures and molecules from chemical level
tissue level- made up of tissues which are made of cells
organ level- made up of organs made up of 2-3 tissue types that work together for specific, complex functions
organ system level- organs that work together to coordinate activities and acheive a common function
anterior - ANSWER in front of
posterior - ANSWER in back of
dorsal - ANSWER on the backside of the human body
ventral - ANSWER on the belly side of the human body
superior - ANSWER closer to the head
