Anatomy and Physiology are defined as:

• Anatomy is the study of body structure; Physiology is the study of body function.

• Anatomy is the study of body function; Physiology is the study of body structure.

• Anatomy and Physiology both study only body diseases.

• Anatomy and Physiology are both the study of body chemistry.

The levels of structural organization that make up the human body are:

• Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism

• Atoms, molecules, planets, galaxies, universe

• Cells, atoms, molecules, tissues, planets

• Organs, tissues, cells, atoms, molecules

The important life processes of the human body include which of the following?

• Nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion, reproduction

• Only respiration and excretion

• Digestion and movement only

• Circulation and thinking only

Homeostasis is best defined as:

• The maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body.

• The process of breaking down food for energy.

• The ability of an organism to move from one place to another.

• The process of cell division and growth.

The components of a feedback system include:

• Sensor, Controller, Actuator, Feedback path

• Transistor, Diode, Resistor, Capacitor

• Input, Output, Amplifier, Filter

• Battery, Switch, Load, Fuse

Negative and positive feedback systems differ in their operation as follows:

• Negative feedback systems counteract changes to maintain stability, while positive feedback systems amplify changes.

• Negative feedback systems amplify changes, while positive feedback systems counteract changes.

• Both negative and positive feedback systems always maintain stability.

• Negative feedback systems and positive feedback systems operate identically.

Homeostatic imbalances are related to disorders because:

• they disrupt the body's normal internal environment, leading to disease.

• they always improve the body's health.

• they have no effect on the body's functions.

• they only occur during exercise.

Anatomy is the study of:

• the structure of living organisms

• the chemical processes in the body

• the functions of organs

• the spread of diseases

Physiology is:

• the study of the functions and processes of living organisms

• the study of rocks and minerals

• the study of celestial bodies

• the study of ancient civilizations

What is the study of the structure and relationship of these structures of the human body called?
