2025
What 4 ways do you examine the body? correct answers >>
Inspection, Palpation, Auscultation and Percussion
Inspection correct answers >> Seeing the body
Palpation correct answers >> to examine by touch
Auscultation correct answers >> Listening with a stethoscope
Percussion correct answers >> taking hands and beating
over certain parts of body
Medical Imaging correct answers >> methods of viewing the
inside of the body without surgery, i.e. radiology
Gross Anatomy correct answers >> Study of structures that
can be seen with the naked eye
Histology correct answers >> the study of the microscopic
structure of tissues
,Histopathology correct answers >> microscopic examination
of tissues for signs of disease
Cytology correct answers >> study of structure and function
of cells
Ultrastructure correct answers >> fine detail, down to the
molecular level, revealed by the electron microscope
Subdisciplines of Physiology correct answers >>
neurophysiology, endocrinology, pathophysiology
Neurophysiology correct answers >> physiology of the
nervous system
Endocrinology correct answers >> study of hormones
Pathophysiology correct answers >> mechanisms of disease
Hippocrates correct answers >> Father of medicine
Scientific Fact correct answers >> information that can be
independently verified
Law of Nature correct answers >> a generalization about the
predictable ways in which matter and energy behave
,Theory correct answers >> explanatory statement or set of
statements derived from facts, laws and confirmed hypotheses
Bipedalism correct answers >> the ability to walk upright on
two legs
The Hierarchy of Complexity correct answers >> Organ
system-organs-tissues-cells-organelles-molecules-atoms
situs invertus correct answers >> heart is on the opposite
side
Organization correct answers >> living things exhibit a
higher level of organization than nonliving things
Cellular Composition correct answers >> living matter is
always compartmentalized into one or more cells
Metabolism correct answers >> internal chemical reactions;
the sum of all biochemical events that occur in the body
Responsiveness correct answers >> ability to sense and
react to stimuli (irritability or excitability)
Movement correct answers >> of organism and/or of
substances within the organism
, Characteristics of life correct answers >> organization,
cellular composition, metabolism, responsiveness and movement,
homeostasis, development, reproduction, evolution
Homeostasis correct answers >> the ability to detect
change, activate mechanisms that oppose it and thereby maintain
stable internal conditions
Physiological Variation correct answers >> Sex, age, diet,
weight, physical activity, genetics and environment
Feedback Loops correct answers >> biological mechanisms
where homeostasis is maintained
Homeostasis in Body Temperature correct answers >> -If too
warm, vessels dilate in the skin and sweating begins (heat-losing
mechanism)
-If too cold, vessels in the skin constrict and shivering begins
(heat-gaining mechanism)
Negative Feedback correct answers >> a mechanism of
response in which a stimulus initiates reactions that reduce the
stimulus
Receptor correct answers >> structure that senses change in
the body
Integrating (control) Center correct answers >> control
center that processes the sensory information, "makes a
decision," and directs the response
