ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OPENSTAX EXAM STUDY GUIDE
1. anatomy ANS study of body structure
2. gross anatomy ANS study of structures easily seen by naked eye
3. regional anatomy ANS how structures work together in specific region of body
4. systemic anatomy ANS how structures work together in specific body system
5. physiology ANS chemistry/ physics of the body; how the structures of the body work
together
6. homeostasis ANS maintenance of body's internal balance
7. How was anatomy studied in the past? ANS Evaluating injuries and cadavers.
, ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OPENSTAX EXAM STUDY GUIDE
8. What is the difference between anatomy and physiology? ANS Anatomy is the study
of the body's structures and physiology is the study of how those structures work
together.
9. What is the relationship between anatomy and physiology? ANS Both areas of study
need the other to be fully understood; they depend on one another
10. What is form and function? How are they related? ANS Form is the composition of
a body
structure. Function is how that structure operates. They are related because composition
determines how a structure will function.
11. What are the six levels of organization in the body? ANS Chemical
Cellular
Tissue
Organ
Organ System
Organism
12. cell ANS smallest unit of living things
, ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OPENSTAX EXAM STUDY GUIDE
13. tissue ANS similar cells that work together
14. organelle ANS tiny structure that carries out functions in a cell; mini organs for the
cell
15. organ ANS structure that has 2+ tissue types
16. organ system ANS 2+ organs that work together to maintain bodily functions
17. organism ANS being that can live independently and has cell structure
18. What does the integumentary system do? ANS covers internal body structures
senses input from environment
19. What does the skeletal system do? ANS supports the body
helps us move
