Human Body Ivy Tech / Certified Exam Q&A/ 2025.Quiz____?Anatomy - Answer✓✓ Studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.Quiz____?Physiology - Answer✓✓ Concerns the function of the body, in other words, how the body parts work and carry out their life sustaining activities. Often focuses on cellular and molecular level.Quiz____?Gross or Macroscopic Anatomy - Answer✓✓ Study of large body structures visible to naked eye (ex: heart, lungs, kidneys).Quiz____?Regional Anatomy - Answer✓✓
All structures in a particular region of the body, ex: abdomen, leg
Quiz____?Systemic Antomy - Answer✓✓ Body structure is studied system by system, ex: cardiovascular system, you would examine the heart and blood vessels of the entire body.Quiz____?Microscopic Anatomy - Answer✓✓ Deals with structures too small to be seen with the naked eye.Quiz____?Page 1 of 16 1 / 3
Cytology - Answer✓✓ Studies cells of the body.Quiz____?Histology - Answer✓✓ Studies microscopic tissues of the body.Quiz____?Developmental Anatomy - Answer✓✓ Traces structural changes that occur throughout the life span.Quiz____?Embryology - Answer✓✓ Subdivision of developmental anatomy, concerns developmental changes that occur before birth.Quiz____?Principle of complementarity of structure and function - Answer✓✓ Anatomy and physiology are inseparable because function always reflects structure.What a structure can do depends on its specific form.Quiz____?Levels of structural organization - Answer✓✓ -chemical -cellular -tissue -organ -organ system -organismal Quiz____?Chemical Level - Answer✓✓ Simplest level of structural hierarchy. Atoms, tiny building blocks of matter, combine to form molecules. Molecules combine to form organelles, basic components of the microscopic cells.Page 2 of 16 2 / 3
Quiz____?Cellular Level - Answer✓✓ Cells are the smallest units of living things. All cells have some common functions, but individual cells vary widely in size and shape. Cells are made up of molecules.Quiz____?Tissue Level - Answer✓✓ The simplest living creatures are single cells, but in complex organisms such as human beings, the hierarchy continues on to the tissue level. Tissues consist of similar types of cells.Quiz____?Four basic tissue types - Answer✓✓ -epithelium (covers body surface and protects organs) -muscle (provides movement) -connective (supports and protects organs) -nervous (provides rapid internal communication by transmitting electrical impulses) Quiz____?Organ Level - Answer✓✓ Extremely complex functions become possible at this level. Organs are made up of different types of tissues. Ex: stomach produce digestive juices to churn and mix food.Quiz____?Organ System Level - Answer✓✓
Organs work together to accomplish a common purpose. Ex: heart and blood
vessels circulate blood to carry oxygen and nutrients to all body cells.Quiz____?Organismal Level - Answer✓✓ Highest level of organization, represents the sum total of all structural levels working together to keep us alive.Quiz____?necessary life functions - Answer✓✓ Page 3 of 16
