IVY TECH APHY 101 ACTUAL TEST PAPER
2026 FULL QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
VERIFIED A+
●● 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 Antomy.
Answer: Body structure is studied system by system, ex: cardiovascular
system, you would examine the heart and blood vessels of the entire
body.
●● 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
-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)
