BIO 141 UNIT 1 THEORY EXAM CONTENT SUMMARY INTRODUCTION, TISSUES, AND THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM Part I: Introduction: 1.​ Distinguish between anatomy and physiology. Anatomy is the study of structure and physiology is the study of function. 2.​ Distinguish between macroscopic and microscopic anatomy Macroscopic limbs are big enough to see without magnification Ex: (organs and limbs). Microscopic is the study of structures too small to see without magnification Ex: (cells and tissues) 3.​ Explain how structure and function are related in the human body. They work together to perform specific functions in the human body. 4.​ List and define each level of organization in the body from smallest to largest. Chemical- Ex: Hydrogen and oxygen Cells- Ex: organelle Tissues- Ex: Smooth muscle tissue Organs- Ex: Bladder Organ systems- Ex: Respiratory system Organism- Ex: A human 5.​ List each organ system in the human body, describe the general functions of each one, and identify the major organs in each one. -Integumentary system- Skin, exocrine glands, hair, nails Protects internal structures, temperature regulation, sensory reception -Skeletal system- Bones, joints, cartilage Support, protection, assists with movement, blood cell production -Muscular system- Skeletal muscles Movement, heat generation -Nervous system- Brain, spinal cord, nerves Controls and coordinates body functions. Receives signals, processes information, and transmits responses to organs. -Endocrine system- Glands (e.g. hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, gonads, etc.) Regulates and controls growth, development, and various body functions by releasing chemical signals called hormones into the bloodstream. -Cardiovascular system- Heart, blood vessels, blood Delivers nutrients and oxygen to tissues, removes waste products -Lymphatic system- Lymph nodes, lymph vessels, tonsils, thymus, spleen Filters fluid leaking from tissues and returns to blood vessels; manages immune response -Respiratory system- Nose,pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs Gas exchange, pH balance -Urinary system- Kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra Blood filtration; fluid, electrolyte, pH balance -Digestive system- Mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, intestines, rectum, and anus Digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, and waste removal -Reproductive system- Vagina, uterus, and ovaries, or penis and testes Hormone and gamete production; perpetuation of species 6.​ Define homeostasis.

Effector Response- What does effector do? Change- What is now happening differently? 8.​ What is the general purpose of negative feedback? Give two specific examples. Negative feedback will find a mistake then take it back to normal range. Ex: Temperature and Blood pressure. 9.​ What is the general purpose of positive feedback? Give two specific examples. Positive feedback will find a mistake then make it bigger and worse and will only end at an endpoint. Ex: childbirth and Blood loss. 10.​Describe anatomical position.

Transverse b.​ Front and back halves? Coronal c.​ Left and right portions (general)? Sagittal d.​ Left and right portions that are equal? Midsagittal e.​ Left and right portions that are unequal? Parasagittal 14.​Describe the abdominopelvic quadrants and regions and list the major structures found in each. Quadrants- RUQ- Stomach, Liver, Small intestine, Large Intestine LUQ- Liver, Stomach, Small intestine, Large Intestine LLQ- Urinary bladder, Small intestine, Large Intestine RLQ- Large intestine, Small intestine, Urinary bladder Regions- 1.

Hypogastric region- Large intestine, Urinary Bladder, Small intestine 9. Left iliac region- Large intestine,Small Intestine Part II: Tissues: 1.​ Define the terms ‘tissue’ and histology Tissue- Group of many similar cells that work together. Histology- The study of tissues. 2.​ List the four primary tissue types, their general function, general characteristics, and general location. Epithelial- Lining of GI tract and other hollow organs. Skin surface (epidermis) Protects the body. Connective- Fat and other soft padding tissue. Bone and Tendons. Provides structure. Muscle- Cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, skeletal muscle. Create movement and force. Nervous- Brain, spinal cord, nerves. Guides the body activities. 3.​ Describe how epithelial tissue can be classified both by shape and by layer.
