Anatomy - ANSWER: studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.
Physiology - ANSWER: concerns the function of the body; how body parts work and carry out their
life-sustaining activities.
Gross/Macroscopic Anatomy - ANSWER: the study of large body structures visible to the naked eye,
such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys.
Systemic Anatomy - ANSWER: where body structure is studied by system.
Surface Anatomy - ANSWER: the study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin
surface.
Microscopic Anatomy - ANSWER: deals with the structures to small to be seen with the naked eye.
stained mounted tissue samples are frequently used.
Cytology - ANSWER: subdivision of microbiology studying the cells
Histology - ANSWER: subdivision of microbiology studying tissues
Developmental Anatomy - ANSWER: traces structural changes that occur in the body throughout the
lifetime
Embryology - ANSWER: type of developmental anatomy that concerns developmental changes that
occur before birth
Complementarity of Structure and Function - ANSWER: The relationship between a structure and its
function; i.e., structure determines function
List the Six Levels of Structural Organization - ANSWER: Chemical Level
Cellular Level
Tissue Level
Organ Level
Organ System Level
Organismal Level
Chemical Level - ANSWER: Simplest level of the structural hierarchy. At this level atoms combine to
form molecules, which associate in specific ways to form organelles, the basic components of cells.
Cellular Level - ANSWER: Cells are the smallest units of living things. Simplest life is single celled, but
complex organisms are multicellular
Tissue Level - ANSWER: Tissues are groups of similar cells that have a common function.
Organ Level - ANSWER: Extremely complex functions become possible
Organ System Level - ANSWER: Organs that work together to accomplish a common purpose make up
an organ system.
, Organismal Level - ANSWER: Highest level of organization. The living human being. Represents the
sum total of all structural levels working together to keep us alive
List the Functional Characteristics Necessary to Maintain Life: - ANSWER: 1. Maintaining Boundaries
2. Movement
3. Responsiveness
4. Digestion
5. Metabolism
6. Excretion
7. Reproduction
8. Growth
What is meant by, "Maintaning Boundaries"? - ANSWER: Every living organism must maintain its
boundaries so that its internal environment remains distinct from the external environment
surrounding it. Single celled organisms have cell membranes. The cells in our bodies have similar
membranes and the body as a whole is enclosed and protected by the integumentary system.
Define Metabolism: - ANSWER: Metabolism is a broad term that includes all chemical reactions that
occur within body cells.
Define Catabolism: - ANSWER: Breaking down substances into their simpler building blocks
Define Anabolism - ANSWER: Synthesizing more complex cellular structures from simpler substances
Responsiveness/excitability - ANSWER: the ability to sense changes (stimuli) in the environment and
then respond to them.
Name the 11 Organ Systems: - ANSWER: 1. Integumentary
2. Skeletal
3. Muscular
4. Nervous
5. Endocrine
6. Cardiovascular
7. Lymphatic/Immune
8. Respiratory
9. Digestive
10. Urinary
11. Reproductive
Integumentary - ANSWER: Hair, skin, nails External body covering, protects deeper tissue from injury,
synthesizes vitamin d, houses cutaneous receptors and sweat/oil glands
Skeletal - ANSWER: Protects and supports body organs. Provides a framework the muscles use to
cause movement. Blood cells formed in the bones. Bones store minerals
Muscular - ANSWER: Allows manipulation of the environment, locomotion, and facial expression.
Maintains posture, and produces heat.
Nervous - ANSWER: Responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and
glands
Endocrine - ANSWER: Glands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction
and nutrient use by body cells
Cardiovascular - ANSWER: Blood vessels transport blood which carries oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nutrients, wastes etc. The heart pumps blood.
