BIO 201 Chapter Questions and Answers
Exam One (CH. 1,2,&3)
What is the difference between anatomy & physiology? How do these two sciences
support each other? ✅Anatomy is the study of human structure.
Physiology is the study of function.
A&P form a foundation for advanced study in Healthcare, exercise, physiology,
pathophysiology, & other related fields.
Name a method that would be used to listening to a patient's heart murmur.
✅Auscultation with a stethoscope
Name a method that would be used to study the microscopic structure of the liver:
✅Histology
Name a method that would be used for microscopically examining liver tissue for signs
of hepatitis. ✅Histopathology
Name a method that would be used for learning about the blood vessels on a cadaver.
✅dissection
Name a method that would be used to perform a breast self-examination. ✅palpitation
In what way did the followers of Galen disregard his advice? ✅Galen made it clear that
he did not know everything there was to know about the human body because he did
not have the ability to dissect the human body. He mostly had to make inferences based
on his dissection of animals. He told those who were studying and teaching to make
new observations and trust their own findings, however they disregarded this by
continuing to teach students about what they read in Aristotle's work and his work. The
advice applies to me when reading this book by encouraging me to make my own
observations during dissection lab and compare my findings to their works in order to
notice the similarities but also note new discoveries.
Describe two ways in which Vesalius improved medical education and set standards
that remain relevant today. ✅1. Vesalius improved medical education by performing
dissections himself instead of letting a barber surgeon do it while he just sits and reads
from Galen and Aristotle. He would do the dissections himself and point out the parts in
which Galen was wrong about Anatomy.
2. He published a more accurate text of illustrations for teaching anatomy. He also
published the first Atlas of anatomy that set the standard for new and updated atlases
used today.
, How is our concept of human form and function today affected by inventors from the
17th century to the 19th century? ✅Our concept of human form and function is based
off of previous findings made by inventors and physicians. The more they discover the
more they change concepts and illustrations of human anatomy. Inventions of
microscopes and improvements upon those microscopes have allowed us to see and
learn more about anatomy on a molecular level. Cell theory especially. The 17th and
19th century scientists also pioneered the way we think about science. AKA we learned
to replace superstition and assumptions with exploration, discovery, and appreciation
for natural law. We learned the right questions to ask in order to learn.
Describe the general process involved in the inductive method. ✅Described by Francis
Bacon
Making numerous observations until one becomes confident in drawing generalizations
& predictions.
Knowledge of anatomy obtained by this method.
Proof in Science
Reliable observations repeatedly confirmed.
Not falsified by any credible observation
"Proof beyond a reasonable doubt"
*** Make numerous observations until you feel confident in drawing generalizations and
predictions from them.
Describe some sources of potential bias in biomedical research and how to minimize
such bias. ✅Understand experimenter bias and purpose of double-blind method of
research.
Is there more information in an individual scientific fact or in a theory? ✅There is more
accurate information in a fact because it has been proven multiple times while a theory
is educated speculation.
Define adaptation & selection pressure. Why are these concepts important in
understanding human anatomy & physiology? ✅Adaptation is a feature of an
organism's anatomy, physiology, and behavior that has evolved in response to selection
pressures and enabled the organism to cope with challenges of its environment.
Selection pressures are natural forces that promote the reproductive success of certain
individuals more than others.
Select any two human characteristics and explain how they may have originated in
primate adaptations to an arboreal habitat. ✅Opposable thumbs and forward facing
eyes may have originated from primate adaptations to an arboreal habitat
