BIOL 2251 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
form and function are inseparable, with ________ - ANSWER function dictating form
Anatomy is the study of __________ - ANSWER structure and form
Physiology is the study of __________ - ANSWER function of the body parts
Cytology is the study of - ANSWER body cells and their internal structure
Histology is the study of - ANSWER tissues
physiologists examine...
they typically focus on...
to gain a complete understanding of... - ANSWER -the function of various organ systems
-the molecular or cellular level
-the system's workings
the discipline parallels anatomy because it also is - ANSWER very broad and may be
divided into smaller groups; these groups are cardiovascular physiology,
neurophysiology, respiratory physiology, reproductive physiology, and pathophysiology
Anatomy and Physiology appear to be different, but further reflection reveal these two
sciences are integrated, because - ANSWER form (anatomy) and function (physiology)
are interrelated
scientists group the body's components into an organized hierachy of form and function
,called - ANSWER levels of organization
characteristics that describe living things - ANSWER growth, development,
responsiveness, regulation, and reproduction
metabolism is subsumed into - ANSWER two interrelated processes; anabolism and
catabolism
Anatomists and physiologists recognize several levels of - ANSWER increasing complex
organization in humans: chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
The chemical level is the - ANSWER simplest level involving atoms and molecules
atoms are the ________ and molecules are ________ - ANSWER smallest intact chemical
units; combinations of atoms
the cellular level consists of _______ - ANSWER cells
Cells are - ANSWER the smallest living structures and serve as the basic units of
structure and function
Interfaced between chemical level and cellular level are the - ANSWER biochemical
macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acid) and the cellular
substructures these macromolecules form, which are the organelles
the tissue level is compromised of - ANSWER groups or similar cells that collectively
form common functions
the organ level is composed of - ANSWER human organs that are composed of two or
more tissue types that perform specific, complex functions
, the organ system level contains - ANSWER organs that work together to coordinate
activities and achieve a common function
the organism is the - ANSWER highest level human structural organization, comprised of
all of the organ systems working in an integrated functional manner
complex multicellular organisms, like a _____, perform - ANSWER human, a myriad of
complex metabolic processes
each organ system is assigned a - ANSWER certain major physiological task (its name
reflects that major task)
no organ system only performs ______ task - ANSWER one
same tasks are shared by more than - ANSWER one organ system as exemplified by the
control of acid/ base balance
anatomic position is - ANSWER point of reference used when describing the position of
certain anatomical structures in the human body
in order to assume the anatomical position - ANSWER the person stands erect and
upright with their limbs at their side, their palms facing anteriorly and feet held together
but positioned in a 45-degree angle from one another
the term section implies - ANSWER an actual cut or slice to expose the internal anatomy
a plane is an - ANSWER imaginary flat surface passing through the body; coronal,
transverse, sagittal, and oblique planes
the coronal, transverse, and sagittal planes are at a perfect 90 degree angle from one
another. If a plane is cut at another angle, it is termed an - ANSWER oblique plane
