Questions and Answers
Which of the following best describes the relationship between anatomy and physiology?
Which of the following best describes the relationship between anatomy and physiology?
- Anatomy is a branch of physiology that deals with macroscopic structures.
- Anatomy and physiology are unrelated fields of study.
- Anatomy studies the structure of the body, while physiology focuses on its functions. (correct)
- Anatomy focuses on the function of the body, while physiology studies its structure.
According to the hierarchy of biological organization, which level directly precedes tissues?
According to the hierarchy of biological organization, which level directly precedes tissues?
- Organ systems
- Cells (correct)
- Organs
- Organelles
How does the concept of interdependence apply to the levels of organization within the human body?
How does the concept of interdependence apply to the levels of organization within the human body?
- Defects only occur at the highest level of organization, such as in Organisms.
- Each level operates independently, without affecting other levels.
- A defect at a larger level will always cause defects at smaller level too.
- A problem at a lower level can manifest as a functional issue at a higher level. (correct)

Study Notes
Anatomy, Physiology, and Behavior
- Anatomy studies the body's physical structure (organs, tissues, cells).
- Physiology studies the function of these structures.
- Behavior is how organisms respond to internal/external stimuli.
- Behavior is influenced by anatomical structures and physiological processes (e.g., brain regions, neurotransmitter release).
Levels of Organization
- The body is organized in increasingly complex levels.
- Subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) are the building blocks of atoms.
- Atoms (e.g., oxygen, carbon) are the smallest units of matter
- Molecules (e.g., water, glucose) are combinations of atoms.
- Macromolecules (e.g., DNA, proteins) are large molecules crucial for life.
- Organelles (e.g., mitochondria, nucleus) are specialized structures within cells.
- Cells (e.g., neurons, muscle cells) are the basic units of life.
- Tissues (e.g., nervous tissue) are groups of similar cells with specific functions.
- Organs (e.g., heart, brain) are composed of multiple tissues working together.
- Organ systems (e.g., digestive system, nervous system) are groups of organs with related tasks.
- Organism is the complete living being.
- Levels are interdependent – defects at lower levels (e.g., cells) can impact higher-level functions (e.g., psychological).
