Anatomy deals with the ________ of the body and its parts. 

Anatomy deals with the structure of the body and its parts. 

100
The first level of organization.

Atoms

100

Increase in size without change in shape.

Growth

100

Maintenance of a stable environment.

Homeostasis

100

The head is ________ to the pelvis.

Superior
200

Physiology studies the ________ of the body parts and how they ________.

Physiology studies the function of the body parts and how they work. 

200

Large, biologically important molecules inside cells.

Macromolecules

200

Digestion

Break down of foods into simpler things.

200

An example of homeostasis in the body.

The right answer.

200

The heart to the spine.

Superficial or anterior

300

__________ is determined by __________.

Function is determined by structure. 

300

The fourth level of organization.

Tissues

300

Changing nutrients into chemically different forms.

Assimilation

300

Negative Feedback

A mechanism by which a deviation in a variable from its set point is corrected.

300

The appendix to the spleen.

Left

400

Why are Anatomy and Physiology closely interrelated?

Anatomy and Physiology are closely interrelated because the functional role of a part depends on how it is constructed. 

400

The first basic unit of structure for living things.

Cells

400

Respiration

Use of oxygen and removal of CO2 to release energy from food.

400

The components of homeostatic mechanisms.

Receptors, set point, and effectors.

400

The 3 sections and what portions they divide the body into.

Sagittal: left and right

Frontal (coronal): anterior and posterior

Transverse: superior and inferior 

500

Anatomists rely more on observation and ________, while physiologists employ __________.

Anatomists rely more on observation and dissection, while physiologists employ experimentation.

500

All of the levels of organization in order and an example of each.

Atoms, molecules, macromolecules, organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism. 
500

Excretion and an organ that helps with it. 

Removal of metabolic wastes. 

500

Differentiate between negative and positive feedback with examples for each.

Negative feedback is a mechanism by which a deviation in a variable from its set point is corrected while positive feedback is a deviation in a variable from its set point moves conditions away from the normal state. 

500

An example of each one of the 12 directions.

Superior/Inferior, Proximal/Distal, Anterior/Posterior, Medial/Lateral, Superficial/Deep, Left/Right.
