Exam Success Guide – Comprehensive Final
Exam Questions with 100% Verified
Correct Solutions
Anatomy answ✔️💜💜✔-the various structures of the body, what they look like, and their relationship
to one another
Gross Anatomy answ✔️💜💜✔-structures visible to the naked eye
Regional Anatomy answ✔️💜💜✔-specific regions of the body such as the head or chest
can find organs from different systems in the same region
systemic anatomy answ✔️💜💜✔-studies the anatomy of each functional body system
systems span across multiple regions
Microscopic Anatomy answ✔️💜💜✔-deals with structures too small to be seen with the naked eye
Cytology answ✔️💜💜✔-study of cells
Histology answ✔️💜💜✔-study of tissues
,physiology answ✔️💜💜✔-how these individual body parts work (or function) on a normal level
principle of complementarity of structure and function answ✔️💜💜✔-what a structure can do is
dependent on its form
bones are hard and hold up most of our body weight
chemical level of organization answ✔️💜💜✔-atoms and molecules
cellular level of organization answ✔️💜💜✔-smallest living unit of the body
cells function differently depending on where they are found
tissue level of organization answ✔️💜💜✔-collections of 2 or more cells that carry out a similar
function
Four Basic Types of Tissue answ✔️💜💜✔-epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
organ answ✔️💜💜✔-any structure with two or more tissue types
Organ level of organization answ✔️💜💜✔-tissues operate together to perform a certain function
Organ System Level of organiztion answ✔️💜💜✔-multiple organs work together to accomplish a
purpose
Organismal Level of Organization answ✔️💜💜✔-All organ systems working together to keep the
organism alive
,Necessary Life Function #1 - Maintaining Boundaries answ✔️💜💜✔-cell level --> cell membranes keep
organelles together and separate intercellular and extracellular fluid
organismal level --> skin holds us together, prevents water loss, and helps prevent the entrance of
pathogens
Necessary Life Function #2- Movement answ✔️💜💜✔-Cooperation of skeletal and muscular systems
to coordinate actions
Necessary Life Function #3- Responsiveness (or Excitability) answ✔️💜💜✔-Sensing environmental
changes and responding to them
Are all cells responsive? answ✔️💜💜✔-yes to a certain extent, but CNS cells are the most responsive
Necessary Life Function #4- Digestion answ✔️💜💜✔-Food is broken down to simple molecules to be
absorbed to blood and delivered to various tissues
Necessary Life Function #5- Metabolism answ✔️💜💜✔-Catabolism, Anabolism, and Cellular
Respiration
Catabolism answ✔️💜💜✔-breaking down
anabolism answ✔️💜💜✔-building up
cellular respiration answ✔️💜💜✔-ATP Production through glucose and oxygen
Necessary Life Function #6- Excretion answ✔️💜💜✔-Removal of Waste produced during digestive and
metabolic functions
ex- Digestive waste, urine, respiratory release of CO2
, Necessary Life Function #7- Reproduction answ✔️💜💜✔-Cell Level --> cells must divide for organism to
survive
Organismal level --> Production of offspring
Necessary Life Function #8- Growth answ✔️💜💜✔-Increase in the number of body cells, or increase in
size of individual cells themselves
anabolic rate must be greater than catabolic rate
Survival Need 1- Nutrients answ✔️💜💜✔-Brought into the body by ingestion
include carbs, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals
Survival Need 2- Oxygen answ✔️💜💜✔-cells can only survive a few minutes without oxygen
Survival Need 3- Water answ✔️💜💜✔-Primary solvent in the body, provides environment for chemical
reactions and serves as fluid base for secretions and excretion
Survival Need 4 - Endothermy answ✔️💜💜✔-body temperature must be maintained for chemic
processes to occur (98.6)
Survival Need 5- Atmospheric Pressure answ✔️💜💜✔-breathing and gas exchange occur at an
appropriate atmospheric pressure
Homeostasis answ✔️💜💜✔-maintenance of the internal condition of the body despite a constantly
changing external environment
Variable definition within homeostasis answ✔️💜💜✔-what is being controlled or regulated
