BASICS OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Question 1

what does the concept of anatomy focus on?

Answer 1

it focuses on the structure of systems in the body

Question 2

what does the concept of physiology focus on?

Answer 2

it focuses on the function and processes of the body

Question 3

what are the 6 levels of organization?

Answer 3

1. chemical 2. cell 3. Tissue 4. Organ 5. Organ Systems 6. Organism

Question 4

There are 3 levels of anatomy what are they?

Answer 4

1. Developmental Anatomy 2. Gross Anatomy 3. Surface anatomy

Question 5

What is developmental anatomy

Answer 5

This looks at the structural changes that happen between conception(birth) and adulthood.

Question 6

What is Gross anatomy

Answer 6

This is looking at structures that do not need a microscope (don’t want to look at it because its gross)

Question 7

What is surface anatomy?

Answer 7

This looks at the deeper structures of the body by just looking at the surface-
e.g by looking at this hand, I can infer there is a knuckle

Question 8

Give an example of developmental anatomy ?

Answer 8

Can be embryology as it looks at the development of an embryo from the 1st week to the 8th week of development

Question 9

Give an example of surface anatomy ?

Answer 9

This can be anatomical imaging which looks at the surface and goes deeper into internal structures

Question 10

Name the 3 levels of Physiology?

Answer 10

Excersise Physiology Cell Physiology and Systemic Physiology

Question 11

What is Systemic Physiology?

Answer 11

This looks at the function and processes of organ systems

Question 12

What is Exercise Physiology?

Answer 12

This looks at the changes in structure and function and processes in the body during exercise
e.g the build up of lactic acid in muscles causing it to cramp up STRUCTURE muscles FUNCTION- it cramps up

Question 13

what is the importance of physiology?

Answer 13

by looking physiology we are able to understand and predict ho w we respond to stimuli
and understand how the body reaches homeostasis.

Question 14

What are the 11 Organ systems in the body

Answer 14

INTEGUMENTARY NERVOUS RESPIRATORY LYMPHATIC CARDIOVASULAR SKELETAL MUSCULAR ENDORCINE DIGESTIVE URINARY REPRODUCTIVE

Question 15

What are the 6 signs that we are alive (Characteristics of Life)

Answer 15

1. Metabolise 2. Responsiveness 3. Growth 4. Develop 5. Reproduce 6. Organise

Question 16

What is Homeostasis?

Answer 16

It is is the regulation or maintenance of the conditions inside the body.

Question 17

For Homeostasis to occur in the body what are some controls it should have?

Answer 17

Should have

• a variable to focus on
• a set point
• a range of deviation
• feedback mechanisms

Question 18

What is negative feedback and positive feedback

Answer 18

Negative feedback - decreases the deviation from the setpoint
Positive feedback- increases the deviation from set point

Question 19

What systems are needed in the body that carry out homeostasis

Answer 19

• Receptors, Control Center, Effectors, Adequate Response

Question 20

What is negative and positive feedback in homeostasis

Answer 20

• negative feedback decreases the deviation from the set point
• positive feedback increases the deviation from the set point

Question 21

Give an example of positive feedback

Answer 21

Blood Clotting- The enzyme thrombin produces more tblood clots to stop bleeding
Childbirth- due to the heavy weight of the baby on the uterus wall contractions are induced, the
