Anatomy and Physiology Quiz

Gross anatomy is the study of larger structures that do not require a microscope. An example is the study of organs such as the heart, lungs, or stomach.

The regional approach in anatomy involves the study of interrelationships of all structures in a specific body region. An example is the study of the structures in the abdominal region.

The cellular level refers to cells as the basic independent structural and functional units of living organisms. Cells are responsible for performing physiological functions and are composed of molecules that form organelles and cytoplasm.

<p>The tissue level involves groups of cells and substances around them that are specialized to perform specific functions. Tissues have the same embryonic origin. An example is the study of smooth muscle tissue.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Organ systems are composed of related organs with common functions, and they work closely together to perform major life functions. An example is the urinary system, which includes the kidneys and bladder.</p> Signup and view all the answers
