Structure & Function of the Body Ed 16 Patton Ch 1 Questions with Answers
anatomy - correct answersthe study of an organism and the relationships of its parts; derived from two
word parts that mean "cutting apart"; dissection
dissection - correct answersprocess of cutting the human body apart for learning
physiology - correct answersthe study of the functions of living organisms and their parts
scientific method - correct answerssystematic approach to discovery; 1) propose hypothesis - idea or
principle to be tested 2) experimentation - series of tests of a hypothesis (a controlled experiment
eliminates biases or outside influences) 3) theory or law - a hypothesis that has been supported by
experiments and thus shown to have a high degree of confidence
experimental controls - correct answersused to ensure that the test situation is not affecting the results
test group - correct answersThe experimental group that is exposed to the variable in an experiment.
control group - correct answersthe group that does not receive the experimental treatment.
theory or law - correct answersa hypothesis that has gained a high level of confidence
levels of organization - correct answerschemical level , organelle level, cellular level, tissue level, organ
level, organ system level, organism level
chemical level - correct answersatoms and molecules
cells - correct answerssmallest "living" units of structure and function; organizations of various chemicals
tissues - correct answersan organization of many cells that act together to perform a common function
, organs - correct answersa group of several different kinds of tissues arranged in ways that allow them to
act as a unit to perform a special function
systems - correct answersan organization of varying numbers and kinds of organs that can work together
to perform complex functions for the body
organism - correct answersorganization of all systems together, forming a whole body
microbiome - correct answersset of interacting communities of bacteria and other microorganisms that
inhabit the human body; influences normal body funtion
structure fits function - correct answersanatomical parts have structures exactly suited to perform
specific functions
anatomical position - correct answersTo stand erect with arms at the sides and palms of the hands
turned forward; head also points forward, as do the feet, which are aligned at the toe and set slightly
apart
bilateral symmetry - correct answersthe left and right sides of the body roughly mirror each other
supine - correct answersbody is lying face upward
prone - correct answersbody is lying face downward
superior - correct answerstoward the head; upper, above
inferior - correct answerstoward the feet; lower, below
anterior - correct answersfront; in front of; ventral
posterior - correct answersback; in back of; dorsal
