Human anatomy Exam test queries
and answers graded A+
Anatomy - ANS✅✅study of structure and form; derived from Greek word Anatome which means
to cut apart or dissect; Anatomists study structure and form of organims studying the relationships
among parts of the body and the structure of individual organs
physiology - ANS✅✅the study of function of the body parts; physiologists examine how organs
and body systems function under normal circumstances as well as how their functions are altered
with medication or disease
branches of anatomy - ANS✅✅microscopic- structures that cannot be observed to the unaided
eye
(cytology- study of body cells and their internal structure;
histology- study of tissues)
gross anatomy- structures that can be observed to the unaided eye,; macroscopic
(systemic anatomy- anatomy of each body system;
regional anatomy- examines all of the structures in a particular region of the body as a complete
unit)
embryology - ANS✅✅discipline concerned with developmental changes occuring from conception
to birth
comparative A&P - ANS✅✅examines similarities and differences of anatomy and physiology of
different species
pathophysiology - ANS✅✅relationship between the functioning of an organ system and disease or
injury to that organ system
basic qualities of life - ANS✅✅organization- each organism has a complex structure and order
metabolism- the sum of all chemical reactions to occur within a body; anabolism (smaller molecules
form larger) and catabolism (larger molecules are broken down to smaller)
growth and development- each organism assimilates materials from its environment and often
grows and develops
, responsiveness- ability to sense and react to stimuli
regulation- ability to adjust or direct internal bodily function in the face of environmental changes-
homeostasis- ability of an organism to maintain a consistent internal environment
organization of the human body - ANS✅✅chemical level- consists of atoms, molecules,
macromolecules, and organelles
cell level- consists of cells, made up of structures and molecules from chemical level
tissue level- made up of tissues which are made of cells
organ level- made up of organs made up of 2-3 tissue types that work together for specific, complex
functions
organ system level- organs that work together to coordinate activities and acheive a common
function
anterior - ANS✅✅in front of
posterior - ANS✅✅in back of
dorsal - ANS✅✅on the backside of the human body
ventral - ANS✅✅on the belly side of the human body
superior - ANS✅✅closer to the head
inferior - ANS✅✅closer to the feet
deep - ANS✅✅on the inside
superficial - ANS✅✅on the outside
homeostasis - ANS✅✅refers to the ability of an organism to maintain a consistent internal
environment or "steady state"; for example if the body gets hot due to external temperature, the
body maintains a steady state by circulating more blood toward the surface to facilitate heat loss;
nervous system regulating blood pressure when you get out of bed in the morning
