Explain the difference between Anatomy and Physiology. 

Anatomy is the study of body structures.

Physiology is the study of body functions. 

100

Define Homeostasis. 

Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment when exposed to both external and internal stimuli. 

100

What are the 4 macromolecules?

Lipids (fats), Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Nucleic acids. 

100

Describe the body in Anatomical Position. 

Standing up, facing forward. Palms facing forward with thumbs pointed out. 

100

How many Organ Systems of the human body are there? 

11

200

What is Cytology?

The study of cells.

200

What is the receptor's role in homeostasis? 

The receptor monitors the environment and responds to stimuli. 

200

What do the terms "basic" and "acidic" describe?

The pH of an object.
200

What is a body plane?

An imaginary plane that divides the body into two parts.

Ex: The Frontal plane divides the body into ventral and dorsal planes. 

200

List the 5 basic survival needs. 

Nutrients, oxygen, water, normal body temperature, and atmospheric pressure.

300

Define microscopic anatomy and provide some examples. 

Microscopic anatomy studies the smallest structures of the human body that need to be viewed under a microscope. This includes cells, tissues, and molecules.

300

What is the Effector's role in Homeostasis?

The effector responds to stimuli by sending messages to muscles or glands.  

300
What is the difference between organic and inorganic compounds? 

Inorganic compounds do NOT contain carbon. 

300

True or False: The heart is superficial to the lungs.

FALSE. The heart is deep to the lungs. 

300

List some Necessary Life Functions.

Maintaining boundaries

Movement

Responsiveness

Digestion

Metabolism

Excretion

Reproduction

Growth

400

Define Macroscopic anatomy and provide some examples. 

Macroscopic anatomy studies larger bodily structures that can be seen with the human eye, including skin, muscles, and bones. 

400

What is a negative feedback loop? Give example. 

In a negative feedback loop, the output shuts off/decreases the original stimulus. 

Example: Sweating or shivering to maintain body temperature

400

List a property of H20.

High heat capacity

High heat of vaporization

Reactivity

Polar-solvent properties

Cushioning

400

Which is more proximal to our shoulder? Our elbow or wrist? 

Our elbow is more proximal to our shoulder than our wrist (distal to the shoulder). 

400

Explain the idea that "Structure fits Functions." 

The function of a body structure depends on its form, OR, the form of a structure is influenced by the function it performs. 

500

Explain the idea of Cephalization. 

The concentration of sense organs, nervous control, etc., at the anterior end of the body forms a head and brain, both during evolution and in the course of an embryo's development.


500

What is a positive feedback loop? Give an example.

A positive feedback loop INCREASES or enhances the original stimulus. 

Example: Blood clotting, labor contractions

500

What category do water, salts, acids, and bases fall into?

Inorganic compounds

500

True or false: The nose is more medial to the face than the eyes. 

TRUE. Medial means closer to the midline of the body. The eyes are more lateral to the body's midline than the nose. 

500

Explain the hierarchy of structural organization from smallest to largest. 

Chemical-Cellular-Tissue-Organ-Organ System-Organism
