Anatomy and Physiology 1 Exam 1 Study Guide with Correct Answers anatomy - Correct Answer 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 - Correct Answer 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 - Correct Answer 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 - Correct Answer discipline concerned with developmental changes occuring from conception to birth comparative A&P - Correct Answer examines similarities and differences of anatomy and physiology of different species pathophysiology - Correct Answer relationship between the functioning of an organ system and disease or injury to that organ system basic qualities of life - Correct Answer 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 1 / 2
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 - Correct Answer 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 - Correct Answer in front of posterior - Correct Answer in back of dorsal - Correct Answer on the backside of the human body ventral - Correct Answer on the belly side of the human body superior - Correct Answer closer to the head inferior - Correct Answer closer to the feet deep - Correct Answer on the inside superficial - Correct Answer on the outside homeostasis - Correct Answer 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
