Physio Exam 1 Study Questions fully
solved & updated
Compare and contrast anatomy and physiology (come up with atleast two
similarities and two differences). - ANSWER- Similarities: 1) function affects the
form and form affects the function 2) dependent upon one another 3) both study
the body in some form or another
Differences: 1) anatomy is the study of the physical structure and physiology is
the study of the functions of individual structures and systems within an
organism, as well as the function of an organism as a whole 2) anatomy-size,
shape, and location of a structure; physiology-involves chemical, physical, and
electrical processes within an organism
What is meant by hierarchical organization? Which levels apply to the field of
physiology? What is an emergent property? - ANSWER- Organized in levels from
atoms to biospheres.
Physiology applies to molecules to organisms.
Emotion, memory, intelligence
What are the different human organ systems and their general functions? Do
these tend to function independently or together (integrated)? Provide evidence
(examples) of this. - ANSWER- Cardiovascular system - circulatory
Digestive system - gastrointestinal
Endocrine system - regulate hormones
Immune system - immune response
Integumentary system - barrier
Lymphatic system - restoration of excess interstitial fluid and proteins to the
blood
Musculoskeletal system - protects vital organs
Reproductive system
Respiratory system
Urinary system - renal
, The human organ system functions together (integrated). Ex. Protects us from
infection - integumentary and immune systems
Which human organ systems are important for communication? Coordinating
responses? Protection? Movement? Delivery of nutrients? Support and explain
your answers. - ANSWER- COMMUNICATION: integumentary (sense organ),
nervous system, endocrine system (secretes hormones for communication)
COORDINATING RESPONSES: integumentary (regulates body temperature,
sense organ), nervous system (allows a person to communicate with the
environment, and integrate and controls the body), endocrine system (secretes
hormones into the blood that serve to communicate with, integrate, and control
mechanisms), urinary system (maintains electrolyte balance, water balance, and
acid-base balance), reproductive system (produces sex hormones)
PROTECTION: integumentary system, skeletal system, circulatory system
(immunity), lymphatic system (defense mechanism of the body against disease)
MOVEMENT: skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system
DELIVERY OF NUTRIENTS: circulatory system, digestive system, reproductive?
(placenta/umbilical cord)
What are the four basic themes in the field of physiology? Be able to give
examples of each. - ANSWER- Homeostasis: maintenance of stable internal
environment
Biological energy use: generation, storage and utilization of energy required for
biological processes (homeostasis)
Structure-function: function is tightly linked to structure
Communication: functional integration requires information flow
Examples:.....
What is homeostasis? Which parameters are homeostatically controlled in the
human body? What are the three key parts of homeostatic control? - ANSWER-
Homeostasis is maintenance of a stable internal environment.
-set point (can be altered-fever), a state of dynamic constancy/equilibrium
(parameters fluctuate within a narrow range), antagonistic control (bi-directional,
negative feedback, intrinsic and extrinsic control mechanisms)
Levels of glucose, body temperature, interstitial fluid.
There main components: set point, dynamic equilibrium, antagonistic control.
