BIO 137 EXAM 1 | 144 QUESTIONS | WITH ACCURATE
VERIFIED SOLUTIONS.
What is anatomy? Answer - Study of structure if body parts and their
relationship to one another
What are the subdivisions of anatomy? Answer - Gross or macroscopic
anatomy
Microscopic anatomy
Developmental anatomy
Gross anatomy or macroscopic anatomy Answer - study of large visible
structures.
-Regional anatomy: Looks at all structures in a particular area of body
-System anatomy looks at just one (cardiovascular, nervous, muscular, etc.)
-Surface anatomy: looks at internal structure as they relate to overlying skin
(visible muscle asses or veins seen on surface)
Microscopic anatomy Answer - deals with structures too small to be seen by
the naked eye
-Cytology: microscopic study of cells
,-Histology: microscopic study of tissues
Developmental anatomy Answer - studies anatomical and physiological
development throughout life
-embryology: Study of developments before birth
What is physiology? Answer - Study of the function of body parts; how they
work to carry out life-sustaining activities
What are the subdivisions of physiology? Answer - Based on organ systems.
(Renal physiology or cardiovascular physiology.)
Explain the principle of complementarity. Answer - Function always reflects
structure and what a structure can do depends on it's specific form
List below the levels of structural organization of the body and describe their
relationships Answer -
Chemical level Answer - atoms, molecules, and organelles
Cellular level: Answer - single cell
Tissue level Answer - groups of similar cells
Organ level Answer - contains two or more types of tissues
Organ system level Answer - contains two or more types of tissues
, Organismal level Answer - all organ systems combined to make whole
organism
How are these levels related Answer - -Maintain boundaries. (Separation
between internal and external environments ex: Plasma membranes separate
cells.)
-Movement: movement of body parts of muscle or skeleton. Contractility refers
to movement at the cellular level)
List below the 11 organ systems and identify the components and function of
each Answer -
List and describe below the functional characteristics necessary to maintain life
in humans. Answer -
What is the significance of cellular interdependence in humans? Answer -
List and describe below the survival needs of the body. Answer -
Describe positive and negative feedback systems for maintaining homeostasis.
Answer -
Directional and body positions Answer -
Planes of the body Answer - transverse, sagittal, and frontal
Maintaining boundaries Answer - Separate internal and external environments
(plasma membranes separates cells or skin operates organism from
environment)
