Foundations of A&P
This field studies body structures, while physiology studies body functions.
What is anatomy?
Matter is anything that has these two characteristics.
What are mass and occupying space?
This is one of the four primary tissue types and functions mainly in communication and control.
What is nervous tissue?
The two major divisions of the skeleton are these.
What are the axial and appendicular skeletons?
Neurophysiology is the study of these functions.
What are nervous system functions?
This branch of anatomy studies structures visible without a microscope.
What is gross anatomy?
his subatomic particle has a negative charge.
What is an electron?
This membrane lines cavities open to the outside of the body.
What is a mucous membrane?
This bone forms the forehead.
What is the frontal bone?
This division of the autonomic nervous system controls “fight or flight” responses.

What is the radius?
This cranial nerve is responsible for vision.
What is the optic nerve?
This term describes maintaining a stable internal environment.
What is homeostasis?
This type of bond forms when electrons are transferred.
What is an ionic bond?
Simple squamous epithelium is specialized for these two functions.
What are diffusion and filtration?
Synovial joints contain this feature.
What is a fluid-filled cavity?
This functional characteristic of life allows the body to react to changes.
What is responsiveness?
This directional term means “toward the head.”
What is superior?
This organelle produces ATP for the cell.
What is the mitochondrion?
Acne is commonly associated with inflammation of these glands.
What are sebaceous glands?
The functional unit of muscle contraction is called this.
What is a sarcomere?
DNA replication occurs at this time
