  • What does Anatomy study?

    Anatomy studies the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another.

  • What does Physiology concern?

    Physiology concerns the function of the body, how body parts work and carry out life-sustaining activities.

  • Name the levels of structural organization in the body.

    Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ system, and Organismal levels.

  • What is the Chemical level of structural organization?

    The simplest level, involving atoms and molecules essential for life.

  • What characterizes the Cellular level?

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

  • What is the Tissue level and give examples?

    Tissues are groups of similar cells performing a common function; examples include blood, muscle, and nerves.

  • Define the Organ level.

    Organs are structures composed of two or more tissue types working together for specific functions.

  • What is the Organ system level?

    Organ systems consist of related organs working together to perform a common purpose.

  • What is the Organismal level?

    The highest level, representing the entire living individual composed of all organ systems.

  • What is the importance of maintaining boundaries in life functions?

    Maintaining boundaries separates internal and external environments, e.g., plasma membranes for cells and skin for the organism.

  • How is movement defined as a necessary life function?

    Movement includes body parts via skeletal muscles and substances via cardiac and smooth muscles.

  • What does responsiveness mean in life functions?

    Ability to sense and respond to stimuli, such as withdrawal reflex and breathing rate control.

  • Explain digestion as a life function.

    Breakdown of ingested food and absorption of simple molecules into the blood.

  • What is metabolism in the context of life functions?

    All chemical reactions in body cells, including catabolism (breakdown) and anabolism (synthesis).

  • Describe excretion as a life function.

    Removal of metabolic wastes like urea, carbon dioxide, and feces from the body.

  • What is reproduction at the cellular and organismal levels?

    Cellular reproduction is cell division for growth or repair; organismal reproduction is producing offspring.

  • Define growth as a necessary life function.

    Increase in size of a body part or the entire organism.

  • How many organ systems are there in the human body?

    There are 11 organ systems working together to maintain life.

  • What is the function of the Integumentary system?

    Forms external body covering, protects deeper tissues, synthesizes vitamin D, and houses receptors and glands.

  • What does the Skeletal system do?

    Protects and supports organs, provides framework for muscles, forms blood cells, and stores minerals.

  • Describe the Muscular system's role.

    Allows manipulation of environment, locomotion, facial expression, maintains posture, and produces heat.

  • What is the Nervous system's primary function?

    Fast-acting control system responding to internal and external changes by activating muscles and glands.

  • What role does the Endocrine system play?

    Secretes hormones regulating growth, reproduction, and metabolism.

  • What is the Cardiovascular system responsible for?

    Transports blood carrying oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and wastes; heart pumps blood.

  • Explain the Lymphatic system's function.

    Returns leaked fluid to blood, disposes debris, and houses immune cells for defense.

  • What does the Respiratory system do?

    Supplies blood with oxygen and removes carbon dioxide via lung air sacs.

  • Describe the Digestive system's function.

    Breaks down food into absorbable units; eliminates indigestible food as feces.

  • What is the role of the Urinary system?

    Eliminates nitrogenous wastes and regulates water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.

  • What are the main functions of the Male and Female Reproductive systems?

    Male produces sperm and hormones; female produces eggs, hormones, supports fertilization, fetal development, and nourishes newborn.

  • What are survival needs for humans?

    Appropriate amounts of nutrients, oxygen, water, normal body temperature, and atmospheric pressure.

  • Define Homeostasis.

    Maintenance of a stable internal environment despite external changes.

  • What is a Homeostatic imbalance?

    Disturbance in homeostasis resulting in disease or dysfunction.

  • What are the three components of homeostatic control mechanisms?

    Receptor (detects change), Control center (processes info), Effector (responds to restore balance).

  • How does Negative feedback work?

    Output reduces or shuts off original stimulus to maintain stability, like a thermostat.

  • What is Positive feedback and give examples?

    Response enhances original stimulus, accelerating the process; examples include blood clotting and labor contractions.
