Structure and Function of the Body Ed 16 Patton Ch 1 Guide Questions with
Answers
anatomy - correct answers the study of an organism and the relationships of its parts; derived from two
word parts that mean "cutting apart"; dissection
dissection - correct answers process of cutting the human body apart for learning
physiology - correct answers the study of the functions of living organisms and their parts
scientific method - correct answers systematic approach to discovery; 1) propose hypothesis - idea or
principle to be tested 2) experimentation - series of tests of a hypothesis (a controlled experiment
eliminates biases or outside influences) 3) theory or law - a hypothesis that has been supported by
experiments and thus shown to have a high degree of confidence
experimental controls - correct answers used to ensure that the test situation is not affecting the results
test group - correct answers The experimental group that is exposed to the variable in an experiment.
control group - correct answers the group that does not receive the experimental treatment.
theory or law - correct answers a hypothesis that has gained a high level of confidence
levels of organization - correct answers chemical level , organelle level, cellular level, tissue level, organ
level, organ system level, organism level
chemical level - correct answers atoms and molecules
cells - correct answers smallest "living" units of structure and function; organizations of various
chemicals
tissues - correct answers an organization of many cells that act together to perform a common function
, organs - correct answers a group of several different kinds of tissues arranged in ways that allow them
to act as a unit to perform a special function
systems - correct answers an organization of varying numbers and kinds of organs that can work
together to perform complex functions for the body
organism - correct answers organization of all systems together, forming a whole body
microbiome - correct answers set of interacting communities of bacteria and other microorganisms that
inhabit the human body; influences normal body function
structure fits function - correct answers anatomical parts have structures exactly suited to perform
specific functions
anatomical position - correct answers To stand erect with arms at the sides and palms of the hands
turned forward; head also points forward, as do the feet, which are aligned at the toe and set slightly
apart
bilateral symmetry - correct answers the left and right sides of the body roughly mirror each other
supine - correct answers body is lying face upward
prone - correct answers body is lying face downward
superior - correct answerst oward the head; upper, above
inferior - correct answers toward the feet; lower, below
anterior - correct answers front; in front of; ventral
posterior - correct answers back; in back of; dorsal
