TEAS ANATOMY &
PHYSIOLOGY QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
digestive system - correct answer- comprised of the mouth
stomach intestines. uses enzymes to break down foot that we
eat to release it into bloodstream and absorbed into cells. rids
body of undigested food that don't enter bloodstream in stool.
respiratory system - correct answer- nose mouth trachea lungs.
gas exchange and pH regulation. removes CO2 from blood and
exchanges for O2
circulatory system - correct answer- made up of heart blood
vessels lymphatics blood cells. internal transport, pH
maintenance temperature stability. delivers nutrition and
oxygen to cells and carries waste products and CO2 away from
cells.
immune system - correct answer- defense system protects from
foreign substances or particles when exposed. white blood cells
and lymph nodes. maintains homeostasis.

excretory system - correct answer- enables disposal of
metabolic wastes, regulation of salt, fluids and electrolytes.
allows waste removal from bloodstream via liver kidneys and
urinary bladder skin and lungs.
integumentary system - correct answer- skin- protects organs.
defense skin doesnt allow foreign bodies in. skin makes vitamin
D and assists in excretion.
musculoskeletal system - correct answer- hips, spinal column,
deltoids quadriceps. protects movement support and shape.
supports production of blood and serves as storage sites for
some minerals. muscle allow movement strength posture and
heat production. muscles work together to move the body.
nervous system - correct answer- brain spinal cord and nerves.
integrates body function through nerves detects stimuli
secretes chemicals and electrical signals and controls other
organ systems.
endocrine system - correct answer- hypothalamus pituitary
glands adrenal glands pancreas and gonads. Integrates body
through chemicals hormones. cells use hormones to
communicate with each other. hormones are needed to
maintain homeostasis.

reproductive system - correct answer- scrotum testes prostate
gland vas degerens and penis (male) ovaries fallopian tubes
uterus cervix vagina (female) provides mechanisms for internal
fertilization and production of new offspring.
phylum chordata - correct answer- 1. urochordatea
2. cephalochordata
3. vertebrata (humans, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and
mammals)
vertebrata - correct answer- humans are this because unlike
the urochordates and cephalochordates we have a column of
bones (backbone) and a tube within a tube construction
(vertebrata have an outer tube formed by a body wall and inner
tube in the digestive tract. Humans have bilateral symmetry that
is. the left side of body is a mirror image of the right side.
anatomical position - correct answer- human body is standing
postion with palms facing forward. When prone human body is
postion posteriorly so you have back side view.

superior - correct answer- toward head end of the body. EX:
chin is superior to the shoulder.
Inferior - correct answer- means below or away from head of
body. EX: the belly button is inferior to the nose
Anterior - correct answer- near the front of the body EX: nose is
anterior to the buttocks.
Posterior - correct answer- mean near the back of the body EX:
the heart is posterior to the ribs
medial - correct answer- closest to the midline of body EX: the
big toe is medial to the little toe
lateral - correct answer- further away from midline of body EX:
appendix is lateral to the stomach.
proximal - correct answer- toward nearest point of origin of a
part,EX: the wrist is proximal to the digitals.
