Anatomy & Physiology Chapter 1-2 Study
Guide
What is the difference between Anatomy & Physiology? - ANS Anatomy is the study of the
STRUCTURE of the human body and its parts. Physiology is the study of how parts of the body
work and carry out their FUNCTIONS.
What are the 3 main topics in the study of Anatomy and physiology? - ANS 1. Complementary
of structure and function
2. Hierarchy of structural organization
3. Homeostasis
What does "complementary of structure and function" mean? - ANS It is how an organ or
system functions that depends on its structure
What is the hierarchy of structural organization in humans? - ANS chemical - all things are
made up of atoms and molecules
cellular- cells are the smallest units of life
tissue- groups of similar cells that have a common function
organ- structures composed of two or more tissues that perform a specific function
organ system- organs work together for a common purpose
organismal- all organ systems working together to enable a living thing to carry out all of life´s
functions.
What are the life functions and survival needs in humans? - ANS LIFE FUNCTIONS
~ Maintain boundaries
~Movement
~Responsiveness
~Digestion
~Metabolism
~Excretion
~Reproduction
~Growth
SURVIVAL NEEDS
~Nutrients
