What is the primary focus of studying the human body's structure and function?
✔✔ To understand how the body's systems work together to maintain overall health and
homeostasis.
How is homeostasis maintained in the human body?
✔✔ Through feedback mechanisms that regulate internal conditions such as temperature, pH,
and glucose levels.
What are the main levels of organization in the human body?
✔✔ The chemical level, cellular level, tissue level, organ level, system level, and organism level.
What distinguishes anatomy from physiology?
1
,✔✔ Anatomy is concerned with the structure of body parts, while physiology focuses on their
functions and how they work.
Why is the anatomical position important in anatomy?
✔✔ It provides a standard reference point for describing the locations and relationships of body
parts.
What are the major body cavities, and what do they contain?
✔✔ The major body cavities are the dorsal cavity (containing the cranial and spinal cavities) and
the ventral cavity (containing the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities).
What are the key terms used to describe body directions and positions?
✔✔ Terms such as anterior, posterior, superior, inferior, medial, lateral, proximal, and distal help
describe the locations and relationships of body structures.
2
, How do positive and negative feedback mechanisms differ?
✔✔ Negative feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis by reversing changes, while positive
feedback mechanisms amplify changes until a specific outcome is achieved.
What are the four basic types of tissues in the human body?
✔✔ The four basic types are epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous
tissue.
anatomy ✔✔the study of the structure of the human body
physiology ✔✔the study of the function of the human body
Levels of Organization ✔✔1.subatomic particles
2. atom
3. molecule
4. macromolecule
