BNNS501 STUDY GUIDE WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTION
Anatomy - ANSWER the structure of the body
Physiology - ANSWER how these structures of the body function
Cells - ANSWER The smallest and functional part of an organelle.
Tissues - ANSWER Collection of cells all to perform similar functions
Organs - ANSWER 2 or more tissues that have a specific function
Body systems - ANSWER Organs all working together in the body, for a
particular purpose
Homeostasis is - ANSWER The internal body staying in a constant state of
equilibrium despite the ever changing external environment.
If a person is standing in the Anatomical position, they are standing how? -
ANSWER Standing straight, neutral position, facing forward with palms also
facing forward
If a person is prone they are. - ANSWER Lying face down (think of prone
hold)
If someone is supine they are. - ANSWER Lying face up (think of supine,
spine)
Superior and inferior - ANSWER Top and bottom (towards head, towards
feet)
,Anterior (ventral) and posterior (dorsal) - ANSWER Front and back
Medial and lateral - ANSWER Towards mid line, away from mid line
Proximal and distal - ANSWER Closest to the body, furtherest away (elbow vs
wrist)
Superficial and deep - ANSWER Shallow and deep. Close to surface vs not.
Anterior - ANSWER At the front of the body
Posterior - ANSWER At the rear of the body
Superior - ANSWER Towards the head
Inferior - ANSWER Towards the feet
Medial - ANSWER Nearer the midline of the body
Lateral - ANSWER Farther from the midline of the body
Proximal - ANSWER Nearer to the attachment of the limb to the trunk
Distal - ANSWER Farther from the attachment of the limb to the trunk
Superficial - ANSWER Located on or near the surface of the body/organ
Deep - ANSWER Located further away from the surface of the body/organ
Central - ANSWER Toward the body core or centre of body
Peripheral - ANSWER Towards the body peripheries or extremities
Body cavities - ANSWER are spaces within the body that help protect,
seperate and support internal organs
5 major cavities in the body containing organs - ANSWER Cranial cavity,
vertebral cavity, thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity.
, Stomach organ to cavity - ANSWER Abdominal
Heart organ to cavity - ANSWER Thoracic
Lung organ to cavity - ANSWER Thoracic
Brain organ to cavity - ANSWER Cranial
Small intestine organ to cavity - ANSWER Abdominal
Urinary Bladder organ to cavity - ANSWER Pelvic
Kidney organ to cavity - ANSWER Abdominal
Liver organ to cavity - ANSWER Abdominal
Homeostasis - ANSWER A condition of equilibrium (stability or balance) in
the body's internal environment. It is dynamic, there are constant
fluctuations in the internal and external environment. Internal conditions
may vary but usually within a very narrow range due to homeostasis. All
body systems contribute to homeostasis. The nervous and endocrine systems
are the most important.
What is stimulus (components of feedback system) - ANS A stimulus is a
disturbance to a controlled condition
What is a receptor (components of feedback system) - ANS A receptor is a
sensor that monitors the environment detects a stimulus and sends
information to a control centre.
