Answer 1

Anatomy is the study of structure of an organism

Question 2

Physiology

Answer 2

Is the study of how the structures relate and function of mechanisms of organism

Question 3

Metabolism

Answer 3

Chemical process that occur in the body
Involves major processes
Catabolism
Anabolism

Question 4

Catabolism process

Answer 4

Breakdown of large molecules into smaller simpler
O² is required &
energy produce is used for array of.bodiky functions
Eg digestion food

Question 5

Anabolism

Answer 5

Energy made available by catabolism
Used to build body’s
Structural and functional parts

Wastes created are excreted by kidneys, lungs and digestive system.

Question 6

Homeostasis

Answer 6

Balance within the body
interplay of nervous & endocrine system
and multiple feedback systems.

Imbalance
= Leads to disease and or death

Question 13

Characteristics of connective tissue?

Answer 13

Usually vascular except cartilage and minimal vascular supply in tendons
Nerve supply except cartilage and blood

Question 14

What are 3 major factors affecting healing

Answer 14

Age - ageing process slows down cell regeneration and functions, impeding bodies ability to heal

Blood supply- blood main role to transport O² and nutrients to all corners of the body needed for healthy functioning cells. The circulatory system also removes waste, excess fluid and foreign bodies.

Nutrition- to function optimally the body requires a delicate balance of minerals and vitamins. For processes such as healing and cell generation

Question 15

6 functions of bones

Answer 15

• Support internal structures
• Protect soft internal tissues and vital organs
• propels the body in movement: when muscles contract exert force to bone creating movement
• acts as storage for minerals calcium and phosphorus
• yellow marrow important fat storage used for energy
• red marrow involved in blood cell production
