BLG 101: Week 1 (Chapter 1)
What is anatomy? - answerstructure of body parts
What is physiology? - answerstudy of function of the body--- work and carry out their
life-sustaining activities
What are the topics of anatomy? - answer1. Gross/ macroscopic anatomy: large body
studies visible to the eye.
2. Microscopic anatomy: studies too small to be seen with the human eye.
List the subdivisions of macroscopic anatomy. - answer1. Regional: examines all the
structures (muscles, bones, blood vessels) in a specific region. (e.g. abdomen, leg)
2. Systemic: the body's structure is studied system by system.
3. Surface: internal surfaces, the overlying skin surface
List the subdivisions of microscopic anatomy. - answer1. Cytology: cells
2. Histology: tissues
List the subdivision of developmental anatomy. - answer1. Embryology: concerns
development changes that occur before birth.
List the subdivisions of physiology. - answer1. Renal physiology: kidney and urine
production.
2. Neurophysiology: brain and nervous system.
3. Cardiovascular physiology: heart and blood vessels.
Describe the principle of complementary. - answerA+P are inseparable because
function always reflects structure (a structure depends on their form).
, The correct sequence of levels forming the structural hierarchy is:
a) organ, organ system, cellular, chemical, tissue, organismal
b) chemical, cellular, tissue, organismal, organ, organ system
c) chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organismal
d) organismal, organ system, organ, tissue, cellular, chemical. - answerc) chemical,
cellular, tissue, organ, organ system , organismal
List the 11 organ systems of the body - answer1. Cardiovascular
2. Digestive
3. Endocrine
4. Integumentary
5. Lympathic
6. Muscular
7. Nervous
8. Reproductive
9. Respiratory
10. Skeletal
11. Urinary
Integumentary system - answerforms external body covering, protects deeper tissues
from injury
Skeletal system - answerprotects and supports body organs, provides a framework for
the muscles to move
Muscular system - answerallows for movement, produces heat
Nervous system - answerresponds to internal and external changes by using muscles
and glands
Endocrine system - answerglands secrete hormones that regulate the body (growth,
reproduction, metabolism)
Cardiovascular system - answerthe heart pumps blood to blood vessels. blood vessels
transport blood, which carries O2, CO2, nutrients, and wastes.
Lymphatic system/ Immunity - answerhouses white blood cells for immunity
Respiratory system - answerprovides blood with oxygen and removes CO2
Digestive system - answermetabolize food for cells to use in body
Urinary system - answerremoves nitrogenous waste, regulates water, electrolytes, acid-
base balance of blood
