Questions and Answers

What is the primary focus of anatomy in the study of the human body?

  • The description of the functions of living organisms
  • The description of form and appearance of body structures (correct)
  • The biochemical processes that occur within cells
  • How body structures function under stress

    • Which of the following correctly describes physiology?

  • The scientific study of functions and processes of living organisms (correct)
  • The study of body structures at various levels
  • The analysis of the human body's physical appearance
  • The analysis of biochemical interactions in cells

    • How do anatomy and physiology differ fundamentally?

  • Anatomy deals with living organisms in their environment, while physiology studies them in isolation.
  • Anatomy describes forms, while physiology examines functions. (correct)
  • Anatomy focuses on processes, while physiology focuses on appearance.
  • Anatomy studies how organisms evolve, while physiology describes structures.

    Study Notes

    Anatomy

    • Study of structures in the human body, emphasizing how these structures appear.
    • Examines body organization at various levels, from cells to organs and systems.
    • Provides a foundation for understanding how form correlates with function.

    Physiology

    • Scientific discipline focused on processes and functions of living organisms.
    • Investigates how bodily systems operate in health and disease.
    • Includes study of mechanisms like metabolism, respiration, and homeostasis.

    Anatomical Position

    • Defined as a person standing upright with the head directed forward.
    • Upper limbs hang down at the sides, with palms oriented forward.

    Body Positions

    • Supine: Refers to a person lying flat on their back, facing upward.
    • Prone: Indicates a person lying flat on their stomach, facing downward.

    Anatomical Planes

    • Sagittal Plane: A vertical plane that divides the body into left and right sections.
    • Coronal Plane: Another vertical plane that separates the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) sections.
    • Transverse Plane: A horizontal plane that splits the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) sections.
