THE HUMAN

BODY: AN
ORIENTATION
Most of us have a natural curiosity about our bodies, and a study of anatomy
and physiology elaborates on this interest. Anatomists have developed a univer
sally acceptable set of reference terms that allows body structures to be located
and identified with a high degree of clarity. Initially, students might have diffi
culties with the language used to describe anatomy and physiology, but without
such a special vocabulary, confusion is bound to occur.
The topics in this chapter enable students to test their mastery of terminology
commonly used to describe the body and its various parts, and concepts con
cerning functions vital for life and homeostasis. Body organization from simple
to complex levels and an introduction to the organ systems forming the body
as a whole are also covered.
AN OVERVIEW OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
1. Match the terms in Column B to the appropriate descriptions provided
in Column A. Enter the correct letter or its corresponding term in the
answer blanks.
Column A Column B
_________________________ 1. The branch of biological science that A. Anatomy
studies and describes how body parts
work or function B. Homeostasis
_________________________ 2. The study of the shape and structure C. Metabolism
of body parts
D. Physiology
_________________________ 3. The tendency of the body’s systems to
maintain a relatively constant or balanced
internal environment
_________________________ 4. The term that indicates all chemical
reactions occurring in the body

2. Use a highlighter to identify the terms or phrases that correctly relate to the
study of physiology. Use a different color highlighter to identify those terms
or phrases that relate to the study of anatomy. Color the coding circles.
○ Physiology ○ Anatomy
A. Measuring an organ’s size, shape, and weight H. Dynamic
B. Can be studied in dead specimens I. Dissection
C. Often studied in living subjects J. Experimentation
D. Chemistry principles K. Observation
E. Measuring the acid content of the stomach L. Directional terms
F. Principles of physics M. Static
G. Observing a heart in action
LEVELS OF STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION
3. The structures of the body are organized into successively larger and more
complex structures. Fill in the answer blanks with the correct terms for
these increasingly larger structures.
Chemicals
Organism
4. Circle the term that does not belong in each of the following groupings.
Then, fill in the answer blanks with the correct group name. Follow the
example below.
E.g. Atom Cell Tissue Alive Organ Group: Levels of structural organization
1. Brain Stomach Heart Liver Epithelium Group: _________
2. Epithelium Heart Muscle tissue Nervous tissue Connective tissue Group: ________
3. Human Digestive system Horse Pine tree Amoeba Group: _________
5. Using the key choices, complete the crossword puzzle by naming the
organ system that correctly answers each of the clues provided.
Key Choices
Cardiovascular Integumentary Nervous Skeletal
Digestive Lymphatic (Immune) Reproductive Urinary
