TESTED QUESTIONS CORRECT
ANSWERS
◉ What are the three subdivisions of Gross Anatomy? Answer:
Regional Anatomy, System Anatomy, and Surface Anatomy.
◉ What does Regional Anatomy focus on? Answer: All structures in a
particular area of the body.
◉ What is System Anatomy? Answer: The study of one specific system,
such as the cardiovascular or nervous system.
◉ What is Surface Anatomy? Answer: The study of internal structures
as they relate to the overlying skin.
◉ What is Microscopic Anatomy? Answer: The study of structures too
small to be seen with the naked eye.
◉ What is Cytology? Answer: The study of cells.
◉ What is Histology? Answer: The study of tissues.
,◉ What is Developmental Anatomy? Answer: The study of structural
changes that occur throughout the life span.
◉ What is Embryology? Answer: The study of developmental changes
that occur before birth.
◉ What are the essential tools for studying Anatomy? Answer:
Observation, manipulation, palpation, and auscultation.
◉ What is the purpose of medical imaging technology? Answer: To
view inside the body without surgery.
◉ What are the subdivisions of Physiology based on? Answer: Organ
systems.
◉ What is Renal Physiology? Answer: The study of functions of the
kidneys.
◉ What does Neurophysiology study? Answer: The function of the
nervous system.
◉ What is Cardiovascular Physiology? Answer: The study of the
functions of the heart and blood vessels.
,◉ What are the levels of structural organization in the human body?
Answer: Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ System, and
Organismal levels.
◉ What is the smallest unit of life? Answer: The cell.
◉ What does Cell Theory state? Answer: The cell is the smallest unit of
life; all organisms are made of one or more cells; cells arise only from
other cells.
◉ What are the six functional categories of body cells? Answer: Cells
that connect body parts, move organs, store nutrients, fight disease,
gather information, and reproduce.
◉ What is the function of the mitochondrion? Answer: To provide most
of the cell's ATP supply.
◉ What is the role of Ribosomes? Answer: Sites of protein synthesis.
◉ What distinguishes Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER)?
Answer: It is studded with ribosomes and synthesizes proteins for
secretion.
◉ What is the function of Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth
ER)? Answer: Involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification, and calcium
storage.
, ◉ What is the Golgi Apparatus responsible for? Answer: Processing
newly synthesized proteins.
◉ What do Lysosomes contain? Answer: Activated enzymes for
digestion within the cell.
◉ What is the function of the Nucleus? Answer: Acts as the cell's
control center, containing DNA.
◉ What are membrane-bound ribosomes attached to? Answer: The
membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
◉ What is the primary function of mitochondria? Answer: To produce
most of the cell's energy molecules (ATP) via aerobic cellular
respiration.
◉ What is the structure of mitochondria characterized by? Answer:
Enclosed by double membranes, with an inner membrane that has folds
called cristae.
◉ What unique genetic material do mitochondria contain? Answer:
Their own DNA, RNA, and ribosomes.
◉ How do mitochondria replicate? Answer: Through a process called
fission, similar to bacterial cell division.
