Bio-203 GB: Anatomy and Physiology
2024 Fall Exam 1 questions and answers
Common Functions of all living things - Answer>>Responsiveness, growth, reproduction,

Responsiveness - Answer>>organism that changes in response to the enviorment, longer term
change called adaptation
Growth - Answer>>an increase in size, number of cells, complexity of cells, or all three; process
of developing a variety of cells called differentiation

Cellular Level - Answer>>combination of molecules, atoms and organelles to perform a specific function in a cell Tissue Level - Answer>>collection of cells working together to perform a specific function Organ Level - Answer>>2 or more tissues working together to perform specific functions Organ System Level - Answer>>2 or more organs working together to perform specific functions Organism Level - Answer>>multiple organ systems working together to maintain health Vertebrae Organ Systems - Answer>>integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive Integumentary - Answer>>protects against enviormental hazards, helps control body temp Skeletal - Answer>>provides support, protects tissues, stores minerals, forms blood cells Muscular - Answer>>allows for locomotion, provides support, produces heat Nervous - Answer>>directs immediate responses to stimuli; usually by coordinating the activities of the other organ systems Endocrine - Answer>>directs long term changes in activities of other organ systems Cardiovascular - Answer>>transports cells and dissolved materials including nutrients, wastes, and gases

Positive Feedback - Answer>>reinforces or exaggerates deviations from the norm; variations from the norm that are increases are further increased; variations from te norm that are decreases are further decreased; mechanisms are relatively rare and must be controled by an independant "off switch" Medical Terminology - Answer>>describes body regions, anatomical positions and directions, and body sections; surface anatomy; sectional anatomy Anatomical Position - Answer>>hands at the sides with palms facing forward and feet together; supine(face up); prone(face down) Anatomical Regions - Answer>>2 methods to map the surface of the abdomen and pelvis; abdominopelvic quadrants; adominopelvic regions Abdominopelvic Regions - Answer>>right/left hypochondriac region, right/left lumbar region, right/left inguinal region, epigastric region, umbilical region, hypogastric region Anatomical Directions - Answer>>provide an orientation of structures relative to anatomical postion; left and right always refers to the left and right sides of the subject not the observer Anatomical Terminology - Answer>>carnial/caudial, dorsal/ventral, superior/inderior, anterior/posterior, medial/lateral, proximal/distal, superficial/deep, central/peripheral, ipsilateral/contralateral Transverse Plane - Answer>>divides body into head and tail portions Frontal Plane - Answer>>divides body into belly and back portions Sagittal Plane - Answer>>divides body into left and right portions

Body Cavities - Answer>>protects internal organs; allows organs to change shape; dorsal and ventral cavities exist in humans; in vertebraes, dorsal cavity typically contains neural tissue; ventral cavity contains viscera; lined with (parietal layer) and organs are enclosed (visceral layer) by serous membrane Viscera - Answer>>organs of the respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems Ventral Body Cavity - Answer>>thoratic cavity, abdominopelvic cavity Thoratic Cavity - Answer>>3 internal chambers; 1 pericardial cavity+2 pleural cavities; each cavity is defined by a serous membrane Pericardial Cavity - Answer>>contains heart; defined by a serous membrane called the pericardium; visceral pericardium- layer covering the heart; parietal pericardium- outer layer; between 2 layers is serous fluid to reduce friction Abdominopelvic Cavity - Answer>>subdivided into superior abdominal cavity and inferior pelvic cavity; contains the peritoneal cavity, lined with a serous membrane called the peritoneum; visceral peritoneum covers internal organs; perietal pertoneum lines inne surface of body wall Pleural Cavity - Answer>>each lung has its own; serous membrane is the pleura; visceral pleura- layer covering the lung; parietal pleura- lines the inner surface of the chest wall Tissues - Answer>>colections of cells and cell products that performm specific limited functions Histology - Answer>>the study of tissues Four types of tissues - Answer>>epithelial, connective, muscle, neural

Transitional Epithelium - Answer>>urinary bladder, renal pelvis, ureters; permits expansion and recoil after strectching Stem Cells - Answer>>unipotent, oligopotent, multipotent, totipotent Mitosis - Answer>>epithlia cells replaced by Endocrine Glands - Answer>>release hormones; into interstitial fluid and plasma, no ducts Exocrine glands - Answer>>produce secretions; onto epithelial surfaces, through ducts Connective Tissue - Answer>>provides a protective structural framework for other tissues 3 Basic Components of Connective Tissue - Answer>>specialized cells, solid extra cellulr protein fibers, fluid extracellular ground substance Matrix - Answer>>extracellular components of connective tissues (fibers and ground substance) Characteristics of Connective Tissue - Answer>>majority of tissue volume; determines specialized function Functions of Connective Tissue - Answer>>support and protection, transportation of materials, storage of energy reserves, defense of the body 3 Major types of Connective Tissue - Answer>>connective tissue proper, fluid connective tissues, supporting connective tissue Cells of Connective Tissue Proper - Answer>>fibroblasts, macrophages, adipocytes
