ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 1 EXAM
1 WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
2025/2026
anatomy correct answers >> 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 correct answers >> 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 correct answers >> 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 correct answers >> discipline concerned with
developmental changes occuring from conception to birth
,comparative A&P correct answers >> examines similarities
and differences of anatomy and physiology of different species
pathophysiology correct answers >> relationship between
the functioning of an organ system and disease or injury to that
organ system
basic qualities of life correct answers >> 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 correct answers >> 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 correct answers >> in front of
posterior correct answers >> in back of
dorsal correct answers >> on the backside of the human
body
ventral correct answers >> on the belly side of the human
body
superior correct answers >> closer to the head
inferior correct answers >> closer to the feet
deep correct answers >> on the inside
superficial correct answers >> on the outside
homeostasis correct answers >> 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
receptor- detects changes in variable; either substance or process
stimulus
