Anatomy and Physiology 1 Exam 1 –
questions and correct answers graded
A+
anatomy - ANS-study of structure and form; derived from Greek
word Anatome which means to cut apart or dissect; Anatomists
study structure and form of organims studying the relationships
among parts of the body and the structure of individual organs
physiology - ANS-the study of function of the body parts;
physiologists examine how organs and body systems function
under normal circumstances as well as how their functions are
altered with medication or disease
branches of anatomy - ANS-microscopic- structures that cannot
be observed to the unaided eye
(cytology- study of body cells and their internal structure;
histology- study of tissues)
gross anatomy- structures that can be observed to the unaided
eye,; macroscopic
(systemic anatomy- anatomy of each body system;
regional anatomy- examines all of the structures in a particular
region of the body as a complete unit)
,embryology - ANS-discipline concerned with developmental
changes occuring from conception to birth
comparative A&P - ANS-examines similarities and differences of
anatomy and physiology of different species
pathophysiology - ANS-relationship between the functioning of an
organ system and disease or injury to that organ system
basic qualities of life - ANS-organization- each organism has a
complex structure and order
metabolism- the sum of all chemical reactions to occur within a
body; anabolism (smaller molecules form larger) and catabolism
(larger molecules are broken down to smaller)
growth and development- each organism assimilates materials
from its environment and often grows and develops
responsiveness- ability to sense and react to stimuli
regulation- ability to adjust or direct internal bodily function in the
face of environmental changes- homeostasis- ability of an
organism to maintain a consistent internal environment
organization of the human body - ANS-chemical level- consists of
atoms, molecules, macromolecules, and organelles
cell level- consists of cells, made up of structures and molecules
from chemical level
tissue level- made up of tissues which are made of cells
organ level- made up of organs made up of 2-3 tissue types that
work together for specific, complex functions
, organ system level- organs that work together to coordinate
activities and acheive a common function
anterior - ANS-in front of
posterior - ANS-in back of
dorsal - ANS-on the backside of the human body
ventral - ANS-on the belly side of the human body
superior - ANS-closer to the head
inferior - ANS-closer to the feet
deep - ANS-on the inside
superficial - ANS-on the outside
homeostasis - ANS-refers to the ability of an organism to maintain
a consistent internal environment or "steady state"; for example if
the body gets hot due to external temperature, the body
maintains a steady state by circulating more blood toward the
surface to facilitate heat loss; nervous system regulating blood
pressure when you get out of bed in the morning
receptor- detects changes in variable; either substance or process
stimulus
