What are the characteristics that all living things share? *** Organization,
responsiveness, growth and differentiation, reproduction, movement, metabolism, input
(nutrients)/ outputs (wastes), evolution
What is anatomy? *** study of structure
What is physiology? *** the study of function
What are the specialties of anatomy? *** regional, developmental, microscopic /gross,
surface, systemic,
What is metabolism? *** is created by homeostasis and bodies organisms maintaining
body temperature
What is an example of anatomy? *** the structure of the heart
What is an example of physiology? *** the heart beating and moving
What is comparative anatomy? *** the comparison of body structures in the human
body
What does comparitive anatomy have to do with evolution? *** 99% of evolution is a
comparison to anatomy but comparative anatomy shows nothing about ancestry or
relationships
What is regional anatomy? *** the study of all the structures in a particular region of
the body
What is developmental anatomy? *** studies anatomical and physiological
development throughout life
What is microscopic anatomy? *** the study of structures that are too small to be seen
without the microscope
What is gross anatomy? *** study of structures visible to the naked eye
What are the eleven organ systems? *** integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous,
endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive
, What is surface anatomy? *** attempting to understand deep structures based on
appearance of body surface and is the basis of the physical exam
What is systemic anatomy? *** recognizing and independently studying the organ
systems of the body
What are the four specialties of physiology? *** cell, organ, systemic, pathological
What is cell physiology? *** how cells perform their specialized functions
What is organ physiology? *** it is how specific organs perform their specialized
functions (study of the heart or kidneys)
What is systemic physiology? *** how organ systems perform their specialized
functions (the study of air movement in and out of the body)
What is pathological physiology (pathology)? *** the functioning of cells, tissues, and
organs that are diseased or damaged
What are the levels of organization in order (smallest to larges)? *** atomic,
molecular, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
What are the 4 categories of molecules? *** carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic
acids

What are the two questions to ask yourself when studying the organ systems? *** 1.
What does it do?
2. How does it do it?
What is a function of the nervous system? *** information processing
What is two major organs of the nervous system? *** brain and nerves
What is a function of the respiratory system? *** gas exchange
