Hap 1 - The Human Body: An Orientation - Quiz, Flashcards & Trivia

1. Define Anatomy.

The study of ancient civilizations.

The study of rocks and minerals.

The study of weather patterns.

The study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts

Anatomy specifically deals with the structure and shape of living organisms, particularly the human body.

Explanation

Anatomy specifically deals with the structure and shape of living organisms, particularly the human body.

2. What is the definition of Physiology?

The study of how computers operate.

The study of rocks and minerals.

The study of how the body and its parts work and function

The study of the Earth's atmosphere and weather patterns.

Physiology specifically focuses on the biological processes and functions within living organisms, not on other subjects like geology, meteorology, or technology.

3. What are the two levels of Anatomy study?

Surface Anatomy - studies the external and superficial structures of the body.

Comparative Anatomy - involves the study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species.

Molecular Anatomy - studies the interaction of atoms and molecules in the human body.

Gross Anatomy - can bee seen with the naked eye.
Microscopic Anatomy - requires a microscope to see

Anatomy study can be broadly classified into two levels - Gross Anatomy which deals with structures visible to the naked eye and Microscopic Anatomy which requires a microscope for observation. Molecular Anatomy, Surface Anatomy, and Comparative Anatomy are not the main levels of anatomical study.

5. What is a tissue?

A small, thin piece of paper used for various purposes.

A type of fabric used for making clothing and other textiles.

A tool used for cleaning or wiping surfaces.

Groups of similar cells with a common function that enable the body to work.
Tissue are organised into organs.

Tissues, in the context of biology, refer to groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function in the body. These cells are usually organized into higher levels of structure such as organs, which then work together to enable the body to function properly.

6. Which types of tissues make up the body?

Cartilage tissue - Vision

Epithelial tissue - covering
Muscle tissue - Movement
Neurvous tissue - Control
Connective tissue - support

Bone tissue - Breathing

Fat tissue - Insulation

The correct answer includes epithelial tissue for covering, muscle tissue for movement, nervous tissue for control, and connective tissue for support. Bone tissue does not cover or provide movement but supports the skeletal system. Fat tissue is primarily for storing energy and providing insulation rather than being a major component of the body tissues. Cartilage tissue is essential for maintaining the structure of certain body parts like joints, but it is not specifically related to vision.
