  • What are the main subdivisions of Anatomy?
    Gross (Macroscopic), Microscopic, Developmental, Pathological, Radiographic Anatomy, and Molecular Biology.
  • What are some key subdivisions of Physiology?
    Renal Physiology, Neurophysiology, and Cardiac Physiology.
  • What are the two main subdivisions of metabolism?
    Catabolism (breaking down molecules) and Anabolism (building molecules).
  • List the processes involved in metabolism.
    Ingestion, Digestion, Absorption, Respiration, Assimilation, Secretion, and Excretion.
  • Name the seven life processes described in Anatomy & Physiology.
    Metabolism, Excitability, Conductivity, Contractility, Growth, Differentiation, and Reproduction.

    Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, System, and Organismic levels.
  • Differentiate between Intracellular and Extracellular fluid.
    Intracellular fluid is inside cells; Extracellular fluid is outside cells, including interstitial fluid.
  • What is homeostasis?
    The body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions such as concentration, pressure, and temperature.

    Superior & Inferior, Anterior & Posterior, Cranial & Caudal, Dorsal & Ventral, Proximal & Distal, Medial & Lateral, Superficial & Deep.
  • Define the sagittal plane and its types.
    A vertical plane dividing the body into left and right; includes midsagittal (median) and parasagittal planes.
  • What is the frontal (coronal) plane?
    A vertical plane dividing the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.
  • What is the horizontal (transverse) plane?
    A horizontal plane dividing the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts.
  • Name the two main body cavities.
    Dorsal body cavity (cranial and vertebral) and Ventral body cavity (thoracic and abdominopelvic).
  • What are the subdivisions of the thoracic cavity?
    Includes the pleural cavities (lungs) and the mediastinum containing the heart and other structures.
  • What are the abdominopelvic cavity subdivisions?
    Abdominal cavity and Pelvic cavity.
  • What are the nine abdominopelvic regions?
    Umbilical, Left & Right Lumbar, Epigastric, Left & Right Hypochondriac, Pubic, Left & Right Iliac (Inguinal).
