IUPUI ANATOMY (Bio n261) Practice EXAM 1
LATEST 2024/2025 WITH ACTUAL QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT VERIFIED (DETAILED)
ANSWERS/ALREADY GRADED A
Anatomy - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ study of internal and
external structures of the human body. Given that
specific structures perform specific functions, therefore,
structure determines function
Microscopic anatomy - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ study of
body structures that cannot be viewed without
magnification, includes cytology and histology
Gross anatomy - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ study of body
structures which are visible without the aid of
magnification (visible to the naked eye)
Developmental Anatomy - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ study
of structural changes that occur from conception to
physical maturity

Comparative Anatomy - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ study of
the anatomy of different types of animals
Pathological Anatomy - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ study of
structural changes in cells, tissues and organs caused by
disease
Radiographic Anatomy - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ study of
the internal body structures by using non-invasive
imaging techniques (x-ray & ultrasound)
Surgical Anatomy - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ study of
anatomical landmarks, which are important to surgical
procedures
Chemical level - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ atoms combine to
form small molecules (water, carbon dioxide) and larger
macromolecules (lipids, proteins, nucleic acid)
Cellular level - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ cells are comprised
of molecules; they are the smallest living units in the
body; cellular organelles are their functional subunits
,3|Page
Tissue level - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ similar types of cells,
with a common function, combine to form tissues; four
primary tissue types comprise all organs of the human
body
Organ level - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ more than one tissue
type (often all four tissues) combine to form organs;
extremely complex physiological processes occur at this
level
Organ System Level - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ organs that
work closely together combine to form an organ system,
to accomplish a common purpose; there are 11 organ
systems of the human body.
Human Organism - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ the highest
level of structural organization; this is the combination of
all the organ systems functioning together to sustain the
life of the organism
Integumentary System - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ (epidermis
and dermis) Protection from environmental hazards,
temperature control; accessory structures are hair
follicles, sweat (sudoriferous) glands and oil (sebaceous)
glands
, 4|Page
Skeletal System - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ Support,
protection of soft tissues, mineral storage, blood
formation
Muscular System - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ Locomotion,
support, heat production
Nervous System - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ Directing
immediate responses to stimuli, usually by coordinating
the activities of other organ systems
Endocrine System - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ comprised of
glands, which secrete hormones that regulate processes
(such as metabolism, growth, reproduction) of the other
organ systems
Cardiovascular System - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
comprised of the heart, blood vessels, and the blood to
transport materials (such as respiratory gases, nutrients
and wastes) within the body
Lymphoid (Lymphatic & Immune) System - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ comprised of the lymphatic vessels, lymphoid
