ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED AND GRADED A+ ALREADY
PASSED!!
Organ
a structure that is composed of two or more tissue types
Tissue
collection of similar cell acting together to perform a function
Neuron
the smallest structural unit of the nervous system
Nephron
the functional unit of the kidney
Mitochondria
serves as a function for cellular respiration
Membrane
layer of tissue that lines body cavities, covers organs, and separates structures
Body Cavities Terminology / Division Plane
imaginary plan (frontal, sagittal, midsagittal and transverse) used a reference in
describing positions.
Frontal Plane
plane that divides the body into front and back halves
Sagittal plane
plane that divides the body into left and right portions.
Midsagittal plane
passes along the midline and divides the body into equal left and right halves.
Transverse plane
plane that divides the body into upper and lower halves
Body cavity
two main cavities in the body, dorsal and ventral.
, Dorsal cavity
contains cranial and spinal cavity (brain, spinal cord)
Ventral cavity
contains the abdominal and pelvic cavities.
Integumentary System
The integumentary system is simple skin and its derivates. The function of the skin is to
provide protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, and the synthesis
of vitamin D.
Musculoskeletal System
The musculoskeletal system is made up of bones and muscles
Nervous System
This system is responsible for controlling all body activity by responding to internal and
external stimuli and sending out signals or impulses to nerves and various body organs
The central nervous system contains the brain and spinal cord
The brain consists of four major parts: cerebrum, the cerebellum, the diencephalon, and
the brainstem
The peripheral nervous system
subdivided into the somatic and the autonomic nervous system
The somatic nervous system
cranial and spinal nerves that connect the central nervous system with the skin and
skeletal muscles; it is responsible for conscious activities.
The autonomic nervous system
regulates the action of the glands, heart muscle, and smooth muscles of hollow organs
and vessels
Sensory System
he sensory system is commonly broken into the five senses (smell, taste, sight, hearing,
touch and pressure), important senses in human beings.
Smell
olfaction- sense of smell
Gustatory sense or taste
