PRINCIPLES OF ANATOMY AND
PHYSIOLOGY EXAM SCRIPT 2026 TEST
BANK COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
⩥ Physiology. Answer: science of how body functions-how the body
works
⩥ How many levels of structural organization?. Answer: 6
⩥ How many body systems?. Answer: 11
⩥ Chemical level. Answer: atoms>molecules(DNA)
⩥ Cellular level. Answer: Smallest structural/functional units of
organisms and the smallest living units in the body ex. nerve, muscle,
epithelial
⩥ Tissue level. Answer: groups of cells & materials surrounding them
working together for a particular function
4 basic types:
1. epithelial
,2. connective
3. muscular
4. nervous
⩥ Epithelial Tissue. Answer: covers body surfaces, lines inside of
organs, forms glands
⩥ Connective tissue. Answer: support, connects, and protects organs
⩥ Muscular Tissue. Answer: generates a force through contraction and
relexation
⩥ Nervous Tissue. Answer: Transmit electrical impulses
⩥ Organ level. Answer: (paragraphs) diff types of tissues are joined
together to make organs= structures composed of 2 or more diff types of
tissues; have specific functions and usually recognizable shapes ex)
stomach, skin, heart, lungs
⩥ System level. Answer: consists of related organs with a common
function
**sometimes an organ can be a part of more than 1 system
⩥ Organism level. Answer: organism: any living individual
, all parts of the human body functioning together constitute the total
organism
⩥ Integumentary System. Answer: Components:Skin, Hair, Nails, Sweat
and Oil Glands
Function: protects body, helps regulate body temperature, eliminates
some wastes, helps make vitamin D, detects sensations such as touch,
pain, warmth, and cold, stores fat and provides information
⩥ Skeletal system. Answer: Function: supports and protects body,
muscle attachments, aids body movement
components: bones, joints, cartilages
⩥ muscular system. Answer: Function: participates in body movements
such as walking, maintains posture, produces heat
components: skeletal muscle tissue
⩥ Nervous system. Answer: Function: generates action potentials (nerve
impulses) to regulate body activities, detects changes in body's internal
and external environments, RAPID COMMUNICATION
components: brain, spinal cord, nerves, and special sense organs such as
eyes and ears
⩥ endocrine system
