Recognizing that nerve cells are shaped like wires, and that shape allows them to conduct electrical signals would be an example of which overarching A & P principle?

• Function determines structure
• Homeostasis maintains stability

• Life is organized into distinct hieracrchies

• Structure determines function

Which of the following is NOT an anatomical study?

• Cutting a section of the lung to observe alveoli

• Examining the features of the surface of a bone

• Viewing epithelial cells under a microscope

• Drawing blood from a patient to determine blood glucose levels after a meal.

What are the 6 levels in the hierarchy of structural organization in anatomy in order?

• Chemical, Cellular, Tissue, Organ, Organ system, Organism
• Chemical, Tissue, Organ, Organism, Population, Species
• Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organ system, Population, Community
• Molecule, Cell, Tissue, Organ, Organism, Ecosystem

Which system maintains homeostasis by using electrical signals to cause a rapid but short lived response?

(Goes with Question 5 on review)

• The nervous system

• The endocrine system

• The digestive system

• The circulatory system

Which system maintains homeostasis by releasing chemical messengers called hormones that cause a slow but long term response?

(Goes with Question 5)

• The muscular system

• The nervous system

• The endocrine system

• The circulatory system

Which type of homeostatic feedback works to reverse the initial change/stimulus? (Question 6)

• Negative feedback

• Positive feedback

What position is this person standing in?

• Sagittal position

• Lateral position

• Anatomical position

• Prone position

Why is anatomical position an important position for anatomy?

• It serves as a universal reference point for the landmarks and directional terms.

• It is a position used only in physical therapy.
• It helps in identifying diseases in patients.
• It is used to determine the best surgical techniques.
