TEST BANK for Understanding Anatomy and Physiology 3rd
Edition by Gale Sloan Thompson
What are the 4 essential concepts of physiology? - ANSWER:1. Principle of
complementarity
2. Physiology uses gradients
3. Negative feedback regulation is essential to homeostasis
4. Protein function is regulated by its shape
What is the principle of complementarity? - ANSWER:It is the relationship between
structure and function. That is, what a structure can do depends on its specific form.
What does physiology use gradients mean? - ANSWER:To compare differences and
similarities between two locations in the cell
What does negative feedback regulation mean? - ANSWER:When the cell's
homeostasis is disrupted the cell works to return back to normal
What does the shape of a protein determine? - ANSWER:Function of protein
How does physiology depend on anatomy? - ANSWER:The function of a structure is
promoted or prevented by its anatomy, for example shape of teeth
List the levels of organization in order - ANSWER:Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ,
organ system, organism
What characteristics are necessary to maintain life? - ANSWER:Maintaining
boundaries, movement, responsiveness, digestion, metabolism, excretion, growth,
reproduction
What are some survival needs of the body? - ANSWER:Nutrients, water, oxygen,
temperature, atmospheric pressure
What are the two states of energy? - ANSWER:Kinetic and potential
What are the four forms of energy? - ANSWER:Chemical, electrical, mechanical, and
radiant
What is a carbohydrate? - ANSWER:Compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen atoms; major source of energy for the human body
What is a monosaccharide? - ANSWER:Simple sugar
