Questions with Correct Answers/ Verified
Anatomy
The study of body structure
Physiology
the study of how the body and its parts work or function
Tissue
A group of similar cells that perform the same function.
Basic tissue type in the human body
1. Epithelial tissue
2. Muscle tissue
3. Connective tissue
4. Nervous tissue
Epithelial tissue
A body tissue that covers the surfaces of the body, inside and out
Muscle tissue
A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move.
Connective tissue
A body tissue that provides support for the body and connects all of its parts
Nervous tissue
A body tissue that carries electrical messages back and forth between the brain and every
other part of the body.
Organ level
Organs are made up of different types of tissues
organ system level
Organ systems consist of different organs that work together closely
Organism
A living thing
Organismal level
represents the sum total of all structural levels working together to keep us alive
, Respiratory system
Brings oxygen into the body. Gets rid of carbon dioxide.
Cardiovascular system
Blood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc.
The heart pumps blood.
Urinary system
Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte and acid-base
balance of the blood.
Integumentary system
Consists of the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nail.
Protects the body as a whole from the external environment
The body organ system
1. Integumentary system
2. Skeletal system
3. Muscular system
4. Nervous system
5. Endocrine system
6. Cardiovascular system
7. Lymphatic system
8. Respiratory system
9. Digestive system
10. Urinary system
11. Male reproductive system
12. Female reproductive system
Maintaining boundaries
Separation between internal and external environments must exist
Plasma membrane
A selectively-permeable phospholipid bilayer forming the boundary of the cells
Movement
Change in position of the body or of a body part; motion of an internal organ
Contractility
ability to shorten when an adequate stimulus is received
Responsiveness
Reaction to a change inside or outside the body
