Explain the difference between the study of Anatomy and the study of Physiology -
ANSWER Anatomy is the study of structure of body parts/Physiology is the study of
function of body parts
Name and define the levels of organization of life - ANSWER Organelles, cells,
tissues, organs, and organ systems
Define Metabolisim - ANSWER The sum of all physical and chemical events that
obtain, release, and utilize energy
Define Homeostasis. How does a homeostatic mechanism maintain homeostasis? -
ANSWER The body's maintenance of a stable internal environment.
Depend on normal concentrations of water, nutrients, and oxygen, and normal body
temperature and pressure
What is meant by negative feedback? How does negative feedback affect homeostatic
mechanisms? - ANSWER Works to correct a deviation from a set point (Tries to get
back to the set point/normal)
