What are the 3 different subdivisions of gross or macroscopic anatomy? - --ANS---regional,
systemic, and surface anatomy
What is surface anatomy? - --ANS---the study of internal structures as they relate to the
overlying skin surface
What are 2 subdivisions of study for microscopic anatomy? - --ANS---cytology (cells) and
histology (tissues)
What can be studied within developemental anatomy? - --ANS---embryology (changes occurring
before birth)
What are some subdivisions of physiology? - --ANS---renal physiology (operation of kidney),
neurophysiology, and cardiovascular physiology
,2|Page
What is the principle of complementarity? - --ANS---anatomy and physiology are inseparable,
the function always refects structure and what a structure can do depends on its specific form.
In what way does physiology depend of anatomy? - --ANS---the operation or function of a
structure is dictated by its anatomy
Would you be studying anatomy or physiology if you investigated how muscles shorten? If you
explored the location of the lungs in the body? - --ANS---Muscle shortening is a topic of
physiology. The body location of the lungs is an anatomy topic.
What are the levels of structural organization? - --ANS---chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ
system and organismal level
What does the digestive system do? - --ANS---takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and
eliminates unabsorbed matter (feces)
What does the respiratory system do? - --ANS---takes in oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide
What does the urinary system do? - --ANS---eliminates nitrogenous wastes and excess ions
What does the cardiovascular system do? - --ANS---via the blood, distributes oxygen and
nutrients to all body cells and delivers wastes and carbon dioxide to deposal organs

What does the integumentary system do? - --ANS---protects the body as a whole from the
external environment
all ____ depend on organ systems to meet their survival needs - --ANS---cells
_____ ____ work cooperatively to perform necessary life functions - --ANS---organ systems
What are the main parts of the integumentary system? - --ANS---hair, nails and skin
What are the main parts of the Skeletal System? - --ANS---bones and joints
What is the main part of the muscular system? - --ANS---skeletal muscles
What are the main parts of the nervous system? - --ANS---the brain, nerves and spinal cord
What are the main parts of the endocrine system? - --ANS---pineal, pituitary, thyroid and adrenal
gland, thymus, pancreas, ovaries and testis
What are the main parts of the cardiovascular system? - --ANS---blood vessels and heart
main parts of lymphatic system/ immunity - --ANS---red bone marrow, thymus, lymphatic
vessels, thoracic duct, spleen, and lymph nodes
