Biology 201 A&P Study guide for Ch.
1, 5, and 6 QUESTIONS
CH 1
Discuss the difference between Anatomy and Physiology - answer ANATOMY= study of
structure
PHYSIOLOGY= study of function
CH 1
Explain what is meant by "Levels of Organization" arranging them in order from smallest
to largest. Also indicating which levels are considered to be living. - answer different
levels from the smallest to the biggest
subatomic portions, atom, molecules, macromolecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ,
organ systems, organism
CH 1
List and describe the characteristics of life - answer(10) movement, responsiveness,
growth, reproduction, respiration, digestion, absorption, circulation, assimilation,
excretion
CH 1
List the main requirements of life and explain why they are required. - answer(5)food,
water, oxygen, heat, pressure
CH 1
Describe the function of negative feedback loops and contrast them with positive
feedback loops - answernegative feedback returns it back to its original state
positive feedback makes it go beyond the normal
CH 1
Use an example to describe a negative feedback loop - answerblood sugar goes up to
the RECEPTORS respond to the change in the body which causes the CONTROL
CENTER to tries to fix the problem and finally the EFFECTORS give the needed insulin
to control the blood sugar.
CH 1
Identify the body cavities and the serous membranes that line them.
(Why are there two membranes in each cavity?) - answerVentral Cavity- front of the
body
Thoracic Cavity- ribs, sternum, and vertebral column
Mediastinum Cavities-
Pleural Cavities-
