| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ____ is considered the oldest medical science? | Anatomy |
| Which of the following study methods are useful for anatomy and physiology courses? | devote a block of time for study, develop memorization skills, read the lecture sections before class, do not procrastinate |
| Anatomy is to ___ as physiology is to ___ | structure; function |
| The analysis of the internal structure of individual cells is called | Cytology |
| The study f the general form and superficial markings of an organism is called ___ anatomy | surface |
| The study of the superficial and internal features in a specific area of the body is called ___ | regional |
| Anatomical features that change during illness are studied in ___ anatomy | pathological |
| The study of the first two months of development is termed | embryology |
| The study of the function of specific organ systems is called | systemic physiology |
| cardiovascular function is an example of | systemic physiology |
| The study of the liver is to gross anatomy as the study of a liver cell is to | cytology |
| Organ physiology is to __ as gross anatomy is to __ | cell physiology; microscopic anatomy |
| Which of the following is arranged in correct order from the most complex to the simplest? | organism, system, organ, tissue, cellular, molecular |
| Which organ system provides support, protection of soft tissue, mineral storage, and blood formation | skeletal |
| Which organ system transports nutrients, metabolic wastes, gases, and defense cells? | cardiovascular |
| Which organ system includes the spleen and the tonsils? | lymphatic |
| The kidneys and ureters are organs of the __ system | urinary |
| The pituitary gland and thyroid gland are organs of the __ system | endocrine |
| Which organ system removes carbon dioxide from the bloodstream | respiratory |
| Lungs are to the respiratory system as the liver is to the __ system | digestive |
| Skin, hair and nails are associated with the __ system | integumentary |
| A chemical imbalance in the body can cause the heart to stop pumping blood, which in turn will cause other tissues and organs to cease functioning. This observation supports the view that | all levels of organization with an organism are interdependent |
| In general, the nervous system does each of the following except | direct long-term responses to change |
| Which one of the following is not a characteristic of the endocrine system? | produces a more rapid response than the nervous system |
| The central principle of physiology is | homeostasis |
| The maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment in a n organism is termed | homeostasis |
| When body temperature rises, a center in the brain initiates physiological changes to decrease the body temperature. This is an example of | negative feedback |
| A cell or an organ that responds to commands of the control center in negative feedback is termed an | effector |
| This type of feedback exaggerates the effects of variations from normal | positive |
| If a response decreases a disturbance, the control system is classified as a __ feedback | negative |
| If a response increases a disturbance, the control system is classified as a __ feedback | positive |
| An example of a receptor in a negative feedback loop controlling body temperature would be | temperature sensors on the skin that detect a stimulus |
| The integrating center for the negative feedback loop that regulates body temperature is the | hypothalamus |
| The quadrant of the abdominopelvic region include all of the following except: | Pelvic Quadrant |
| Which of the following is not considered an abdominopelvic region | upper |
| A person who is standing facing forward with hands at the side and palms facing forward is in the | anatomical position |
| An anatomical term that means the same as ventral | anterior |

| A person lying on the bed and gazing at the ceiling is in the __ position | supine |
| The plane that separates the abdominal and the pelvic cavities is | transverse at the hips |
| Terms of anatomical direction are used to describe | one body part in relation to another |
| While standing erect, the direction of caudal is | toward the heel |
| While standing in the anatomical position, | back refers to posterior, back refers to dorsal, front refers to ventral, front refers to anterior. |
| The liver is primarily located in the _ quadrant | right upper |
| The urinary bladder is found in the __ quadrant and the __ quadrant | right lower; left lower |
| The diaphragm muscle separates the __ from the __ | thoracic cavity; abdominopelvic cavity |
| The two major divisions of the ventral body cavity are the | thoracic and abdominopelvic |
| The thoracic cavity contains the | pericardial and pleural cavities |
| The serous membrane covering the stomach and most of the intestines is called the | peritoneum |
| Which of the following organs is located between the peritoneum and the body wall? | kidney |
| The right pleural cavity contains: | Right lung |
| Which of the following organs is not contained within the abdominal cavity? | ovary |
| Visceral pericardium is located | on the heart itself |
| The mediastinum | separates the pleural cavities and includes the pericardial cavity |
| Identify a structure located within the mediastinum | pericardial cavity |
| The branch of biological science that studies the external and interior structure of the body and the physical relationship among body parts is called | anatomy |
| The branch of biological science that deals with the study of how living organisms perform their vital functions is called | physiology |
| Anatomy uses a special language, called __, that involves the use of word roots, prefixes, suffixes, and combining forms to construct terms related to the body in health and disease. | medical terminology |
| The __ serves as a worldwide official standard of anatomical vocabulary | International Anatomical Terminology |
| The study of the changes in form that occur between conception and physical maturity is called | developmental anatomy |
| The tendency of physiological systems to stabilize internal conditions is called | homeostasis |
| ___ regulation occurs when the activities of organs are regulated locally. | Instrinsic or Auto |
| Homeostatic regulation usually involves an __ that detects a particular stimulus, and an __ that responds to the stimulus by communicating with an __ whose activity has an effect on the same stimulus | Receptor; Control Center; Effector |
| ___ regulation results from the activities of the nervous or endocrine system | Extrinsic |
| When homeostatic mechanisms fail, an individual will experience the symptoms of | Disease |
