MIDTERM 1 - WEEK 1 OBJECTIVES (NURS 301) HELEN KIM
1. Define and distinguish between anatomy and physiology
-Anatomy: study of STRUCTURES
oGross Anatomy: study of structures visible to the naked eye (aka
macroscopic anatomy)
oMicroscopic Anatomy: study of the structure of cells, tissues, and organs
that can be seen with a microscope
Histology: the study of the microscopic structure of tissues
Cytology: the study of cells
-Physiology: study of the FUNCTION of the body and its parts
2. List and describe the Levels of Organization of a human from
chemical to organism (individual)
Atom Molecule Macromolecule Organelle Cell Tissue Organ System Organism (Individual)

3. Distinguish between homeostasis and stress and explain the two
feedback mechanisms for control
-Homeostasis: balance
-Stress: the state where homeostasis is threatened
-Feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis / a stable state
oReceptors get the information
oControl center sends the info out to the effectors/structures in the body that
will cause a change
-Positive Feedback:
oSensory information that you pic up makes it go in the SAME direction
oRarely happens in the body
-Negative Feedback:
oSensory information that you pick up makes it go in the OPPOSITE direction
oMost of what happens in the body

4. Explain anatomical position
-Anatomical Position: Standing upright with palms facing forward
oSuperior vs Inferior
oAnterior vs Posterior
oProximal vs Distal
oLateral vs Medial
oDeep vs Superficial
oIpsilateral vs. Contralateral
-Supine Position: laying on the table
5. Find the following body regions and cavities:
Cephalic
oRelating to the head
Cervical
oRelating to the neck
Thoracic
oUpper body between neck and the abdomen
oChest
(diaphragm separates thoracic cavity from abdominal cavity)
Abdominal
oRelating to the abdomen
Lumbar
oRelating to lower part of back
Pelvic
oRelating to pelvis
Axillary
oRelating to the armpit
Brachial
oRelating to the arm
Carpal
oWrists/hands
Femoral
oThigh area
Tarsal
oAnkle/foot bones
Pedal
oRelating to the foot
Digits
oFingers and toes
Cranial cavity (cranium)
oContains the brain

Physiology: study of the function of the body and its parts: list and describe the levels of organization of a human from chemical to organism (individual) Atom molecule macromolecule organelle cell tissue organ system organism (individual) Helen kim: distinguish between homeostasis and stress and explain the two feedback mechanisms for control. Feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis / a stable state: receptors get the information, control center sends the info out to the effectors/structures in the body that will cause a change. Positive feedback: sensory information that you pic up makes it go in the same direction, rarely happens in the body.
