  • What is anatomy?

    Anatomy describes the structures of the body, including what they are made of, where they are located, and associated structures.

  • What is physiology?

    Physiology is the study of the functions of anatomical structures, including individual and cooperative functions.

  • What are the main subdivisions of human anatomy?

    Gross anatomy (surface, regional, sectional, systemic, clinical, developmental) and microscopic anatomy (cytology and histology).

  • What are the main subdivisions of human physiology?

    Cell physiology, organ physiology, systemic physiology, and pathological physiology.

  • What are the major levels of organization in the human body?

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

  • What is the chemical level of organization?

    Atoms are the smallest stable units of matter; molecules consist of groups of atoms.

  • What is the cellular level of organization?

    Cells are the smallest living units in the body.

  • What is the tissue level of organization?

    A tissue is a group of cells working together.

  • What defines the organ level of organization?

    Organs are made of two or more tissues working together.

  • What is an organ system?

    An organ system is a group of interacting organs that perform a common function.

  • Name the 11 major organ systems of the human body.

    Integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.

  • What are the main functions of the integumentary system?

    Protects against environmental hazards, helps regulate body temperature, and provides sensory information.

  • What are the main functions of the skeletal system?

    Provides support and protection, stores minerals, and forms blood cells.

  • What are the main functions of the muscular system?

    Provides movement, protection, support, and generates heat to maintain body temperature.

  • What are the main functions of the nervous system?

    Directs immediate responses to stimuli, coordinates other organ systems, and provides sensory information.

  • What are the main functions of the endocrine system?

    Directs long-term changes in other organ systems, adjusts metabolic activity, and controls development.

  • What are the main functions of the cardiovascular system?

    Distributes blood cells, nutrients, gases, wastes, and heat to control body temperature.

  • What are the main functions of the lymphatic system?

    Defends against infection, returns tissue fluids to the bloodstream.

  • What are the main functions of the respiratory system?

    Delivers air to alveoli, provides oxygen to blood, removes carbon dioxide, and produces sounds.

  • What are the main functions of the digestive system?

    Processes and digests food, absorbs water and nutrients, and stores energy reserves.

  • What are the main functions of the urinary system?

    Excretes waste, controls water balance, stores urine, and regulates blood ion concentrations and pH.

  • What are the main functions of the male reproductive system?

    Produces male sex cells, seminal fluids, hormones, and enables sexual intercourse.

  • What are the main functions of the female reproductive system?

    Produces female sex cells and hormones, supports embryo development, provides milk, and enables sexual intercourse.

  • What is homeostasis?

    Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment by all body systems responding to internal and external changes.

  • What are the components of a homeostatic regulatory mechanism?

    Receptor (detects stimulus), control center (processes signal), and effector (carries out instructions).

  • What is negative feedback in homeostasis?

    A response that negates the original stimulus to maintain normal range and restore homeostasis.

  • What is positive feedback in homeostasis?

    A response that amplifies the original stimulus, moving the body away from homeostasis temporarily to complete a process.

  • What are the major body cavities of the trunk?

    Thoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity, separated by the diaphragm.

  • What is the function of serous membranes?

    They line body cavities and cover organs, consisting of parietal (lines cavity) and visceral (covers organ) layers.

  • What are the subdivisions of the thoracic cavity?

    Right and left pleural cavities (lungs), mediastinum (contains heart in pericardial cavity, blood vessels, trachea, esophagus, thymus).

  • What are the subdivisions of the abdominopelvic cavity?

    Abdominal cavity (digestive organs), retroperitoneal space (pancreas, kidneys, ureters), and pelvic cavity (reproductive organs, rectum, bladder).

  • What are the abdominopelvic quadrants and regions used for?

    They provide standardized ways to describe locations of organs and clinical observations.

  • What are the main anatomical planes used in sectional anatomy?

    Frontal (coronal), sagittal (midsagittal and parasagittal), and transverse (cross) planes.
