Anatomy deals with the structure of the body and its parts.
Atoms
Increase in size without change in shape.
Growth
Maintenance of a stable environment.
Homeostasis
The head is ________ to the pelvis.
Physiology studies the ________ of the body parts and how they ________.
Physiology studies the function of the body parts and how they work.
Large, biologically important molecules inside cells.
Macromolecules
Digestion
Break down of foods into simpler things.
An example of homeostasis in the body.
The right answer.
The heart to the spine.
Superficial or anterior
__________ is determined by __________.
Function is determined by structure.
The fourth level of organization.
Tissues
Changing nutrients into chemically different forms.
Assimilation
Negative Feedback
A mechanism by which a deviation in a variable from its set point is corrected.
The appendix to the spleen.
Left
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.
The first basic unit of structure for living things.
Cells
Respiration
Use of oxygen and removal of CO2 to release energy from food.
The components of homeostatic mechanisms.
Receptors, set point, and effectors.
The 3 sections and what portions they divide the body into.
Sagittal: left and right
Frontal (coronal): anterior and posterior
Transverse: superior and inferior
Anatomists rely more on observation and ________, while physiologists employ __________.
Anatomists rely more on observation and dissection, while physiologists employ experimentation.
All of the levels of organization in order and an example of each.
Excretion and an organ that helps with it.
Removal of metabolic wastes.
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.
An example of each one of the 12 directions.
Superior/Inferior, Proximal/Distal, Anterior/Posterior, Medial/Lateral, Superficial/Deep, Left/Right.
