BIO 141: CHAPTER 1 TEST QUESTIONS
WITH ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
Anatomy -- Answer ✔✔ studies the form and structure of the body
Anatomists -- Answer ✔✔ examine the relationships among parts of the
body as well as the structure of individual organs
Physiology -- Answer ✔✔ examines how the body functions
Physiologists -- Answer ✔✔ examine how organs and body systems
function under normal circumstances and abnormal circumstances
Structure and function ______________ -- Answer ✔✔ inseparable
Scientific method -- Answer ✔✔ refers to a systematic and rigorous
process by which scientists
1. Examine natural events through observation
2. Develop a hypothesis for explaining phenomenon
3. Experiment and test hypothesis by collecting data
4. Determine if data support the hypothesis, or if the hypothesis should
be rejected or modified
,Microscopic anatomy -- Answer ✔✔ 1. examines structures that cannot
be observed by the unaided eye
2. Specimens examined under a microscope
What are the two main divisions of microscopic anatomy? -- Answer
✔✔ 1. cytology: the study of body cells and their internal structure
2. histology: the study of tissues
Gross anatomy (macroscopic anatomy) -- Answer ✔✔ 1. investigates
structures visible to the unaided eye
2. Specimens dissected for examination
What are the five ways to approach gross anatomy -- Answer ✔✔ 1.
systematic anatomy: studies the anatomy of each functional body
system
2. regional anatomy: examines all of the structures in a particular
region of the body
3. comparative anatomy: examines similarities and differences in
anatomy of different species
4. embryology: studies developmental changes from conception to
birth
What subdiscipline of anatomy may explore how the lower limb differs
between humans and chimpanzees? -- Answer ✔✔ comparative
anatomy
Physiologists focus on the: -- Answer ✔✔ functions of organ systems
What are the five subdisciplines that physiologists focus on? -- Answer
✔✔ 1. cardiovascular physiology: the functioning of the heart, blood
vessels, and blood
, 2. Neurophysiology: the functioning of nerves and nervous system
organs
3. respiratory physiology: the functioning of respiratory organs
4. reproductive physiology: the functioning of reproductive hormones
and the reproductive cycle
5. pathophysiology: the relationship between the function of an organ
and disease or injury to the system
What is the relationship between anatomy and physiology? -- Answer
✔✔ Anatomy studies structure and form; physiology studies the
function of body parts. Their study is intertwined
Form (______________) and function (______________) are interrelated --
Answer ✔✔ anatomy; physiology
What are six common properties of all organisms? -- Answer ✔✔ 1. All
exhibit complex organization and order
2. All engage in metabolism, the sum of all chemical reactions that
occur within the body (anabolism, catabolism)
3. All grow and develop
4. All exhibit responsiveness, the ability to sense and react to stimuli
5. All exhibit regulation (adjust internal bodily function to environment
changes to maintain homeostasis)
6. All reproduce
What does it mean if an organism is 'responsive', and how does this
characteristic relate to the survival of the organism? -- Answer ✔✔
Responsiveness is the ability to sense and react to stimuli. The ability
to make changes in response to the environment is crucial for survival
What are the six levels of organization? -- Answer ✔✔ 1. Chemical level
(atoms, molecules, macromolecules, and organelles)
