Unit 3: Intro to Healthcare, Anatomy and Physiology

What term describes the study of the chemistry and physics of the structure of the body and how these processes work together to form a living organism?

• Kinesiology

• Biomechanics

• Physiology

• Anatomy

Ninety-nine percent of the human body is composed of these six types of ______: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.

• Sensors

• Cells

• Epithelial tissues

• Atoms

The structures of your body form a system that ranks items according to specific criteria that can be thought of like a ladder. What term BEST describes this system or ladder?

• Hierarchy

• Homeostasis

• Biomechanics

• Effector

When thinking of the hierarchy of the structures of the body as a ladder, we know that the bottom rung is made up of atoms. The next step up the ladder is where many molecules group together to make the smallest unit of living matter called a cell. What is this level called?

• The epithelial level

• The tissue level

• The organ level

• The cellular level

What three parts of the feedback loop are constantly working to keep the balance of all the different processes in your body?

• organs, systems, cells

• sensors, control center, effectors

• tissues, cells, atoms

• muscle tissues, biomechanics, EMRs

What force from outside the body influences movement by pulling everything and everybody down towards the center of the earth?

• Gravity

• Osmosis

• Kinesthetics

• Infrastructure

How can you correctly break down the word ‘cardiomyopathy’ into parts that will help you determine the meaning of the word?

• cardi/o (muscle) + my/o (blood) + pathy (pain) = pain in the blood and muscles

• cardi/o (skin) + my/o (eye) + pathy (tumor) = a tumor in the skin surrounding the eye

• cardi/o (heart) + my/o (muscle) + pathy (disease) = disease of the heart muscle

• cardi/o (stomach) + my/o (inside) + pathy (inflammation) = inflammation of the inner stomach

What do we need to be able to know in order to describe a movement?

• who is doing the movement and how much they weigh

• why the movement is occurring and when it occurred

• the surrounding bones, ligaments, and blood vessels

• what part is moving, the plane, type, and direction of the movement

_____ is good for health, increasing blood circulation, stimulating digestion, and helping toxins to move out of your body.

• Exhaling

• Solitude

• Confinement

• Movement

What medical term describes the position on a limb that is closer to where the limb attaches to the body?

• Superficial

• Anterior

• Distal

• Proximal
