Question 1

Anatomy study

Answer 1

Macroscopic (surface, regional, sectional, clinical, systemic) & Microscopic (histology, cytology)

Question 2

Physiology

Answer 2

4 studies

1) cell (how cells function)
2) organ (how organs function)
3) systemic (study how systems work together)
4) Pathological (how disease effects organ systems)

Question 3

How can you study the body

Answer 3

1) invasive
2) low tech
3) hightech medical imagining

Question 4

Invasive techniques

Answer 4

surgery or autopsy

Question 5

Low tech techniques

Answer 5

visual inspection, palpitation, auscultation, percussion (usually used with auscultation)

Question 6

High tech techniques

Answer 6

x-ray, computed tomography, Digital subtraction angiography, magnetic resonance imagine, ultra sound, positron emission tomography

Question 7

Barium Dye

Answer 7

Radiopaque material (radioactive) that allows a more in-depth look into digestive tact or blood vessels/ arteries

Question 8

What is the level of body organization

Answer 8

1) Chemical reactions
2) Cell functions
3) Tissue
4) organ
5) Organ system
6) Organism

Question 9

Characteristics of Human Life

Answer 9

1) metabolism
2) growth
3) reproduction
4) Differentiation
5) Movement
6) responsiveness to stimuli

Question 10

Define Homeostasis

Answer 10

• Body’s desire to keep dynamic equilibrium
• involves intrinsic and extrinsic regulation
• body always attempting to maintain set point
• two feed back loops 1) negative feed back 2) positive feedback
• receptor -> control center-> effector

Question 11

Intrinsic regulation

Answer 11

• auto-regulation of bodies internal structures
• occurs in cells, tissues, organs
• an automatic response to internal stimuli

Question 12

Extrinsic Regulation

Answer 12

• regulation of external environment that effect bodies homeostasis
• involved nervous system and endocrine system
• N.S. provides quick response that doesnt last long
• endocrine provides slower response but creates a longer result

Question 13

Homeostatic imbalance

Answer 13

Can cause disorders (abnormality of organ functions) or disease ( signs and symptoms)

Question 14

what would a clinician use to divide abdominopelvic sections?

Answer 14

abdominopelvic quadrants

right upper, left upper, right lower and left lower quadrants

Question 15

What would an anatomist use to divide abdominopelvic areas into?

Answer 15

Abdominopelvic regions (9 regions) more persice

Question 16

Dorsal Cavity

Answer 16

contains cranial cavity and vertebral cavity

Question 17

Ventral cavity

Answer 17

Contains thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity (divided by diaphram)

Question 18

what membrane holds the heart

Answer 18

mediastinum

Question 19

what cavity holds the mediastinum membrane

Answer 19

pericardial cavity

Question 20

serous membrane that separates body wall from cavity that holds lungs

Answer 20

parietal pleura

Question 21

serous membrane that lines lungs

Answer 21

visceral pleura

Question 22

serous membrane that lines abdominopelvic cavity

Answer 22

Peritoneum

Question 23

membrane that lines inner body wall of abdominopelvic cavity

Answer 23

parietal peritoneum

Question 24

membrane that lines inner organs (most) in abdominopelvic cavity

Answer 24

visceral peritoneum
