Anatomy and Physiology Unit 1 Review Flashcards

Flashcards covering key concepts from Chapters 1-5 Anatomy & Physiology study guides, including histology, biomolecules, body systems, anatomical directions, and homeostasis.

How is histology defined in Chapter 5?

Histology is defined as the study of tissues.

What are the key tissue types and locations listed in the Chapter 5 Histology chart?

Tissue types include Simple Cuboidal, Transitional, Fibrous Connective Tissue, Elastic Cartilage, Fibrocartilage, Skeleton, Reticuloendothelial, Nerve Tissue, and Muscle Tissue. Locations listed include the lining of air sacs in the lungs, digestive tract (intestinal wall), air passages (trachea, etc), outer layer of skin, layer beneath the skin, ends of bones at joints, muscles connected to bones, walls of internal organs, walls of the heart, and circulating throughout the body.

What tasks are assigned regarding epithelial, nervous, and adipose tissue in Chapter 5?

Describing the characteristics and functions of epithelial cells, and listing the functions of epithelial tissue, nervous tissue, and adipose tissue.

What are the 4 main types of biomolecules listed in Chapter 2 Biochemistry?

Carbohydrates, Lipids, Protein, and Nucleic Acids.

What sub-categories and examples are provided for Carbohydrates in the Chapter 2 table?

Sub-categories include Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, and Polysaccharides. Examples include sugars and starches.

What examples are listed for Lipids in the Chapter 2 Biochemistry chart?

Fats, oils, triglycerides, fatty acids, steroids, hormones, cholesterol, and phospholipids.

What sub-categories and examples are given for Nucleic Acids in Chapter 2?

Sub-categories and examples are DNA and RNA.

What nutrient categories are students asked to compare and contrast in Chapter 2?

Micronutrients and macronutrients.

What two feedback mechanisms are featured in Question 5 of the study guide?

Positive feedback and negative feedback.

What standard body position is required to be described in Question 6?

The anatomical position.

What four body planes are identified in the anatomical terms diagram?

Sagittal plane, Frontal plane, Median plane, and Horizontal plane.

Which directional terms are shown in the anatomical diagram in Source 3?

Superior, Inferior, Anterior (Ventral), Posterior (Dorsal), Proximal, Distal, Right, Left, and Midline.

What distinction is requested in Question 1 of the Unit 1 Test Study Guide?

Differentiating between anatomy and physiology.

What major organs are listed for the Integumentary, Skeletal, and Endocrine systems in Source 4?

Integumentary: skin (written as Sun) and sweat glands; Skeletal: bones; Endocrine: glands such as pituitary & thyroid.

What major organs are listed for the Circulatory, Nervous, and Respiratory systems in Source 4?

Circulatory: heart and blood; Nervous: brain and spinal cord; Respiratory: lungs and esophagus.

What major organs are listed for the Digestive, Urinary, and Reproductive systems in Source 4?

Digestive: esophagus and stomach; Urinary: kidneys; Reproductive: ovaries and testes.

How should the levels of organization be arranged according to Question 3?

Placed in order from smallest to largest.

What is the focus of Question 4 in the Unit 1 Test Study Guide?

Identifying the purpose of homeostasis.
