  • What is anatomy?

    Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts.

  • What is physiology?

    Physiology is the study of how the body and its parts function.

  • How are anatomy and physiology related?

    They are closely related because the structure of a body part often determines its function.

  • What are the main levels of structural organization in the human body?

    Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism levels.

  • What is the chemical level of organization?

    The simplest level, involving atoms and molecules that form the building blocks of matter.

  • What defines the cellular level?

    Cells are the smallest living units in the body, each with specific functions.

  • What is a tissue in anatomy?

    A group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function.

  • What is an organ?

    A structure composed of at least two different tissue types that performs a specific function.

  • What is an organ system?

    A group of organs that work together to perform complex functions for the body.

  • What is the organism level?

    The highest level of organization, representing the entire living individual.

  • Why is homeostasis important in physiology?

    Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment necessary for survival and function.

  • What is the anatomical position?

    The standard reference position in anatomy where the body stands upright, facing forward, arms at sides, palms forward.

  • What are the main body planes?

    Coronal (frontal), sagittal, and transverse planes divide the body into sections.

  • What does the sagittal plane divide?

    The body into left and right parts.

  • What does the coronal (frontal) plane divide?

    The body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) parts.

  • What does the transverse plane divide?

    The body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior) parts.

  • What is the difference between superior and inferior?

    Superior means above; inferior means below.

  • What does anterior and posterior mean?

    Anterior means front; posterior means back.

  • What is the difference between medial and lateral?

    Medial means toward the midline; lateral means away from the midline.

  • What is the function of the integumentary system?

    Protects the body, regulates temperature, and provides sensory information.
