;Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of
Form and Function Exam
With answers
Anatomy - answer-The study of body structure
Physiology - answer-The study of body function
Gross Anatomy - answer-Study of structures that can be seen with the naked eye
Microscopic Anatomy - answer-structures too small to be seen with the naked
eye
developmental anatomy - answer-traces structural changes that occur in the body
throughout the life span
Cytology - answer-study of structure and function of cells
Histology - answer-the study of the microscopic structure of tissues
Molecule - answer-two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds
Metabolism - answer-the chemical processes that occur within a living organism
in order to maintain life.
Catabolic - answer-A process in which large molecules are broken down
Anabolic - answer-A process in which large molecules are built from small
molecules
Stimuli - answer-a thing or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an
organ or tissue.
body cavity - answer-A fluid-containing space between the digestive tract and the
body wall.
Serosa - answer-serous membrane
, serous fluid - answer-A clear, watery fluid secreted by the cells of a serous
membrane.
Regional Anatomy - answer-specific regions of the body such as the head or
chest
systemic anatomy - answer-studies the anatomy of each functional body system
surface anatomy - answer-the study of internal structures as they relate to the
overlying skin surface
levels of organization from simple to most complex - answer-chemical, organelle,
cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms
integumentary system - answer-Consists of the skin, mucous membranes, hair,
and nail
skeletal system - answer-Protects and supports body organs and provides a
framework the muscles use to support movement. Made up of bones and joints
Muscular System - answer-Consists of skeletal muscles, tendons that connect
muscles to bones, and ligaments that attach bones together to form joint
nervous system - answer-the network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits
nerve impulses between parts of the body.
endocrine system - answer-Consists of glands that control many of the body's
activities by producing hormones.
circulatory system - answer-(aka cardiovascular system) This system works as
the transportation highway for the body. It consists of the heart, blood, and blood
vessels. It transports substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients
in the body.
lymphatic system - answer-Composed of a network of vessels, ducts, nodes, and
organs. Provides defense against infection.
respiratory system - answer-system responsible for taking in oxygen and
releasing carbon dioxide using the lungs
