Anatomy and Physiology (correct answers)

Anatomy and Physiology (correct answers)
In-class activity

Anatomy correct answers the study of the structure of the body

Physiology correct answers the study of the function of the body

Chemical level correct answers represents the atoms and molecules that make up cells
(Consists of Atomic level and molecular level)

Cellular level correct answers represents the basic unit of all living things

Tissue level correct answers a group of cells with similar or common function

Organ level correct answers a group of tissues with similar or common function

Organ system level correct answers a group of organs with similar or common function

Organismic level correct answers the entire body consisting of the various organ
systems.

Integumentary System correct answers controls body temperature & protects body from
environmental hazards

Skeletal System correct answers supports body, protects soft body parts, stores
minerals, forms blood cells

Muscular System correct answers movement, support and produces heat

Nervous System correct answers controls immediate responses to stimuli

Endocrine System correct answers controls long-term responses in body

Cardiovascular System correct answers internal transport of nutrients, wastes, oxygen,
carbon dioxide and cells

Lymphatic & Immune Systems correct answers defense, immunity and returns lost
fluids to cardiovascular system

Respiratory System correct answers exchange of air and delivery of blood gases
to/from tissues

Digestive System correct answers ingestion, breakdown and absorption of food &
elimination of indigestible wastes

,Urinary System correct answers filtration of blood to maintain proper water and salt
balance and to eliminate waste products

Reproductive System correct answers produces sex cells and hormones related to
reproduction

homeostasis correct answers condition in which body's internal environment remains
within certain narrow physiological limits

homeostatic regulation correct answers adjustment of physiological system to maintain
homeostasis

receptor correct answers monitors change in controlled condition (stimulus) and sends
input to control center

control (integration) center correct answers receives input from receptor & determines
appropriate response

effector correct answers cell or organ that receives information (output) from control
center and produces a response (effect)

interactions of a feedback system correct answers stimulus -> receptor -> input (afferent
pathway) -> control center -> output (efferent pathway) -> response

positive feedback correct answers the response by the effector to the initial change is to
further exaggerate the change. Example in labor contractions, the contraction of the
uterus forces the baby towards the birth canal, which

places pressure on the cervix; the pressure of the baby against the cervix causes
uterine contraction, etc. correct answers ...

Negative feedback correct answers the response by the effector to the initial change is
to counter or reduce that change, thus bringing the system back to its "normal" state.
Example When blood sugar level rises, the pancreas secretes

insulin which causes the cells of the body to take in glucose, thus removing glucose
from the blood and lowering blood sugar level. correct answers ...

superior and inferior parts

. correct answers ...

dorsal body correct answers The two major cavities of the body are the dorsal body
cavity and the ventral body cavity.

ventral body correct answers The organs in the ventral body cavity are surrounded by
serous membranes which allow for organ movement. There are no serous membranes
in he dorsal body cavity.
