Human anatomy exam questions and
answers graded A+
Anatomy - ANS✅✅the study of the structure of the body
Physiology - ANS✅✅the study of the function of the body
Chemical level - ANS✅✅represents the atoms and molecules that make up cells (Consists of
Atomic level and molecular level)
Cellular level - ANS✅✅represents the basic unit of all living things
Tissue level - ANS✅✅a group of cells with similar or common function
Organ level - ANS✅✅a group of tissues with similar or common function
Organ system level - ANS✅✅a group of organs with similar or common function
Organismic level - ANS✅✅the entire body consisting of the various organ systems.
Integumentary System - ANS✅✅controls body temperature & protects body from environmental
hazards
Skeletal System - ANS✅✅supports body, protects soft body parts, stores minerals, forms blood
cells
Muscular System - ANS✅✅movement, support and produces heat
Nervous System - ANS✅✅controls immediate responses to stimuli
Endocrine System - ANS✅✅controls long-term responses in body
,Cardiovascular System - ANS✅✅internal transport of nutrients, wastes, oxygen, carbon dioxide
and cells
Lymphatic & Immune Systems - ANS✅✅defense, immunity and returns lost fluids to
cardiovascular system
Respiratory System - ANS✅✅exchange of air and delivery of blood gases to/from tissues
Digestive System - ANS✅✅ingestion, breakdown and absorption of food & elimination of
indigestible wastes
Urinary System - ANS✅✅filtration of blood to maintain proper water and salt balance and to
eliminate waste products
Reproductive System - ANS✅✅produces sex cells and hormones related to reproduction
homeostasis - ANS✅✅condition in which body's internal environment remains within certain
narrow physiological limits
homeostatic regulation - ANS✅✅adjustment of physiological system to maintain homeostasis
receptor - ANS✅✅monitors change in controlled condition (stimulus) and sends input to control
center
control (integration) center - ANS✅✅receives input from receptor & determines appropriate
response
effector - ANS✅✅cell or organ that receives information (output) from control center and
produces a response (effect)
interactions of a feedback system - ANS✅✅stimulus -> receptor -> input (afferent pathway) ->
control center -> output (efferent pathway) -> response
,positive feedback - ANS✅✅the response by the effector to the initial change is to further
exaggerate the change. Example in labor contractions, the contraction of the uterus forces the baby
towards the birth canal, which
places pressure on the cervix; the pressure of the baby against the cervix causes uterine contraction,
etc. - ANS✅✅...
Negative feedback - ANS✅✅the response by the effector to the initial change is to counter or
reduce that change, thus bringing the system back to its "normal" state. Example When blood sugar
level rises, the pancreas secretes
insulin which causes the cells of the body to take in glucose, thus removing glucose from the blood
and lowering blood sugar level. - ANS✅✅...
Anatomical position - ANS✅✅patient is erect, feet apart and palms facing anteriorly Cephalic =
head
Cranial - ANS✅✅upper portion of head surrounding brain
Facial - ANS✅✅face
cervical - ANS✅✅neck
thoracic - ANS✅✅chest
axillary - ANS✅✅armpit
acromial - ANS✅✅point of shoulder
deltoid - ANS✅✅fleshy portion of shoulder
brachial - ANS✅✅upper arm
, antebrachial - ANS✅✅forearm
antecubital - ANS✅✅front of elbow
carpal - ANS✅✅wrist
manual - ANS✅✅hand
digital (phalangeal) - ANS✅✅fingers or toes
abdominal - ANS✅✅region of trunk between diaphragm and pelvis
dorsal - ANS✅✅back
lumbar - ANS✅✅lower back
olecranol - ANS✅✅back of elbow
pelvic - ANS✅✅pelvis
pubic - ANS✅✅anterior pelvis
inguinal - ANS✅✅junction of trunk and thighs (groin)
gluteal - ANS✅✅buttocks
femoral - ANS✅✅thigh
patellar - ANS✅✅front of knee
popliteal - ANS✅✅back of knee
