APHY 101 UPDATED EXAMS TEST PAPER QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Metabolism - ✔✔Broad term includes all chemical reactions that occur within body
cells.
✔✔excretion - ✔✔Removal of wastes from metabolism and digestion
Ex: urea, carbon dioxide, feces
✔✔reproduction - ✔✔Cellular division for growth or repair
Production of offspring
✔✔growth - ✔✔Increase in size of a body part or of organism
✔✔hypertrophy - ✔✔increase in cell size
✔✔hyperplasia - ✔✔increase in number of cells
✔✔integumentary system - ✔✔Protects the body as a whole from the external
environment. Forms the external body covering, and protects deeper tissues from injury.
Synthesizes vitamin D, and houses cutaneous (pain, pressure, etc) receptors and sweat
and oil glands.
✔✔urinary system - ✔✔Eliminates nitrogenous wastes and excess ions from the body.
Regulates water, electrolyte and acid base balance of the blood.
✔✔cardiovascular system - ✔✔Via the blood, distributes oxygen and nutrients to all
body cells and delivers wastes and carbon dioxide to disposal organs.
✔✔digestive system - ✔✔Takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and eliminates
unabsorbed matter (feces).
, ✔✔respiratory system - ✔✔Takes in oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide. The
gaseous exchanges occur through the walls of the air sacs of the lungs.
✔✔nervous system - ✔✔As the fast acting control system of the body, it responds to
internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands.
✔✔endocrine system - ✔✔Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as
growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells.
✔✔skeletal system - ✔✔Protects and supports body organs,
and provides a framework the muscles
use to cause movement. Blood cells
are formed within bones. Bones store minerals.
✔✔muscular system - ✔✔Allows manipulation of the environment,
locomotion, and facial expression.
Maintains posture, and produces heat.
✔✔lymphatic system - ✔✔Picks up fluid leaked from blood vessels
and returns it to blood. Disposes
of debris in the lymphatic stream.
Houses white blood cells (lymphocytes)
involved in immunity. The immune
response mounts the attack against
foreign substances within the body.
✔✔reproductive system - ✔✔Overall function is production of offspring. Testes produce
sperm and male sex hormone, and male ducts and glands aid in delivery of sperm to
the female reproductive tract. Ovaries produce eggs and female sex hormones. The
remaining female structures serve as sites for fertilization and development of the fetus.
Mammary glands of female breasts produce milk to nourish the newborn.
✔✔survival needs - ✔✔in appropriate amounts necessary for life - too little or too much
is harmful
Nutrients
Oxygen
Water (appropriate hydrostatic pressure)
Normal body temperature
Appropriate atmospheric pressure
✔✔Nutrients - ✔✔Taken in via the diet, contain the chemical substances used for
energy and cell building.
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals
