Structure & Function of the Body Ed 16 Patton Ch 1
Exam Study Guide Questions Answered Correctly
anatomy - Answer the study of an organism and the relationships of its parts; derived from two word
parts that mean "cutting apart"; dissection
dissection - Answer process of cutting the human body apart for learning
physiology - Answer the study of the functions of living organisms and their parts
scientific method - Answer 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 - Answer used to ensure that the test situation is not affecting the results
test group - Answer The experimental group that is exposed to the variable in an experiment.
control group - Answer the group that does not receive the experimental treatment.
theory or law - Answer a hypothesis that has gained a high level of confidence
levels of organization - Answer chemical level , organelle level, cellular level, tissue level, organ level,
organ system level, organism level
chemical level - Answer atoms and molecules
cells - Answer smallest "living" units of structure and function; organizations of various chemicals
tissues - Answer an organization of many cells that act together to perform a common function
, organs - Answer 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 - Answer an organization of varying numbers and kinds of organs that can work together to
perform complex functions for the body
organism - Answer organization of all systems together, forming a whole body
microbiome - Answer set of interacting communities of bacteria and other microorganisms that inhabit
the human body; influences normal body funtion
structure fits function - Answer anatomical parts have structures exactly suited to perform specific
functions
anatomical position - Answer 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 - Answer the left and right sides of the body roughly mirror each other
supine - Answer body is lying face upward
prone - Answer body is lying face downward
superior - Answer toward the head; upper, above
inferior - Answer toward the feet; lower, below
anterior - Answer front; in front of; ventral
