What is the primary focus of anatomy in the study of the human body?
``✔✔ Anatomy primarily focuses on the structure and organization of body parts.``
How does physiology differ from anatomy in the study of the human body?
``✔✔ Physiology is concerned with the functions and processes of the body and its parts,
whereas anatomy deals with their structure.``
What are the levels of organization in the human body, starting from the simplest to the most
complex?
``✔✔ The levels of organization are: chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, and
organism.``

,What role does homeostasis play in maintaining health?
``✔✔ Homeostasis involves the body's mechanisms to maintain a stable internal environment
despite external changes.``
Chapter 4: Tissue Level of Organization
What are the four primary types of tissues found in the human body?
``✔✔ The four primary types of tissues are epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue.``
How does epithelial tissue function as a protective layer?
``✔✔ Epithelial tissue forms protective barriers on body surfaces and cavities, and helps in
absorption, secretion, and filtration.``
What are the differences between the three types of muscle tissue?

,``✔✔ Skeletal muscle is voluntary and striated, cardiac muscle is involuntary and striated, and
smooth muscle is involuntary and non-striated.``
What is the main function of connective tissue?
``✔✔ Connective tissue supports, binds together, and protects tissues and organs in the body.``
Chapter 5: Integumentary System
What are the primary functions of the integumentary system?
``✔✔ The primary functions are protection, regulation of body temperature, sensation, and
vitamin D synthesis.``
How is the structure of the epidermis adapted to its function?
``✔✔ The epidermis has multiple layers of cells, including a tough outer layer of dead cells that
provides a barrier against environmental damage.``
3
, What role do sweat glands play in the regulation of body temperature?
``✔✔ Sweat glands help regulate body temperature through the process of evaporative cooling
by producing sweat.``
What is the significance of melanin in the skin?
``✔✔ Melanin provides pigmentation and protects the skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation
damage.``
Anatomy ✔✔The study of the structure of an organism
Physiology ✔✔The study of the function of a living organism
Gross Anatomy ✔✔Macroscopic; study of structures with the unaided eye
Microscopic Anatomy ✔✔Study of structures that can only be seen with a microscope
