APHY 101 CH 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE
HUMAN BODY IVY TECH EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+.
Anatomy answer >>>> Studies the structure of body parts and their
relationships to one another.
Physiology answer >>>> Concerns the function of the body, in other
words, how the body parts work and carry out their life sustaining
activities. Often focuses on cellular and molecular level.
Gross or Macroscopic Anatomy answer >>>> Study of large body
structures visible to naked eye (ex: heart, lungs, kidneys).
Regional Anatomy answer >>>> All structures in a particular region of
the body, ex: abdomen, leg
Systemic Anatomy answer >>>> Body structure is studied system by
system, ex: cardiovascular system, you would examine the heart and
blood vessels of the entire body.
,APHY 101 CH 1
Microscopic Anatomy answer >>>> Deals with structures too small to
be seen with the naked eye.
Cytology answer >>>> Studies cells of the body.
Histology answer >>>> Studies microscopic tissues of the body.
Developmental Anatomy answer >>>> Traces structural changes that
occur throughout the life span.
Embryology answer >>>> Subdivision of developmental anatomy,
concerns developmental changes that occur before birth.
Principle of complementarity of structure and function answer >>>>
Anatomy and physiology are inseparable because function always
reflects structure. What a structure can do depends on its specific form.
Levels of structural organization answer >>>> -chemical
-cellular
-tissue
-organ
-organ system
, APHY 101 CH 1
-organismal
Chemical Level answer >>>> Simplest level of structural hierarchy.
Atoms, tiny building blocks of matter, combine to form molecules.
Molecules combine to form organelles, basic components of the
microscopic cells.
Cellular Level answer >>>> Cells are the smallest units of living things.
All cells have some common functions, but individual cells vary widely
in size and shape. Cells are made up of molecules.
Tissue Level answer >>>> The simplest living creatures are single cells,
but in complex organisms such as human beings, the hierarchy
continues on to the tissue level. Tissues consist of similar types of cells.
Four basic tissue types answer >>>> -epithelium (covers body surface
and protects organs)
-muscle (provides movement)
-connective (supports and protects organs)
-nervous (provides rapid internal communication by transmitting
electrical impulses)
Organ Level answer >>>> Extremely complex functions become possible
at this level. Organs are made up of different types of tissues. Ex:
stomach produce digestive juices to churn and mix food.
