AP1 STUDY GUIDE – UNIT 1 – BODY ORGANIZATION

Document Content and Description Below

AP1 STUDY GUIDE – UNIT 1 – BODY ORGANIZATION The study of anatomy and physiology involves the structure and function of an organism and the relationship of its parts. It starts with a basic o... rganization of the body into different structural levels. Beginning with the smallest level (the cell) and progressing to the largest, most complex level (the system), this unit familiarizes you with the terminology and the levels of organization needed to facilitate the study of the body in parts or as a whole. It is important to have a basic understanding of the structural levels of organization – the planes, regions, and cavities of the body – and to be familiar with the terminology used to describe these areas before progressing on to the concept of homeostasis. SECTION 1 True or False 1. F A hypothesis is a theory with a high degree of confidence 2. T Rigorous experiments that eliminate any influences or biases not being directly tested are called controlled experiments. 3. T Cadavers are dead bodies. 4. F If data proves to be biased in a hypothesis, you may refine the hypothesis. 5. T If repeat experiments are consistent, scientists may begin to call a hypothesis a theory, which provides more credibility and confidence. Multiple choice – select the best answer 6. Anatomy refers to: a. Using devices to investigate parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure. b. Investigating human structure via dissection and other methods c. Studying the usual manner in which an organism responds to painful stimuli d. Examining the chemistry of life 7. Systemic anatomy refers to anatomical investigation: a. At a microscopic level b. That begins in the head and neck and concludes at the feet c. That approaches the study of the body by systems: groups of organs having a common function d. At the cellular level 8. Physiology refers to the a. Nature of human function b. Structure of the human form c. Evolution of human thought d. Accuracy of measuring the human physique 9. The removal of waste products in the body is achieved by a process known as: a. Secretion b. Excretion c. Circulation d. Conductivity [Show More]
