Unit 1 Lec 1: Introduction to Physiology &
Homeostasis UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
What is physiology? The study of how the human body functions,
focusing on processes and mechanisms that keep
the body alive.
How does physiology relate to Anatomy is the structure of body parts, while
anatomy? physiology is the function of those parts.
What role does chemistry play in Chemistry explains chemical reactions, such as
physiology? those involving enzymes and metabolism.
How does biology relate to Biology studies life processes at cellular and
physiology? organism levels, which are essential for
understanding physiology.
What principles of physics are Physics principles like pressure, flow, and electricity
relevant to physiology? are important for understanding blood pressure
and nerve impulses.
What is the Principle of Structure determines function; the way a body part
Complementarity? is built allows it to perform its specific job.
Give an example of the Principle of Thin air sacs (alveoli) allow for efficient gas
Complementarity. exchange.
What are the levels of structural Atoms, molecules/compounds, cells, tissues,
organization in the body? organs, organ systems, and the organism.
