Question 1
Animal Organ System
The study of the biological form or structure of an organism
Anatomy
The study of the biological functions an organism performs
Physiology
Animal form and function are correlated at all levels of organization
  • Size and shape affect the way an animal interact with its environment
  • Many different animal body plans have evolved and are determined by the genome
Levels of Organization
Answer 5
Cells < Tissue < Organs < Organ System < Organism
Food processing (ingestion, digestion, absorption, elimination)
Digestive System
Internal distribution of materials
Circulatory System
Gas exchange (uptake of oxygen; disposal of carbon dioxide)
Respiratory System
Body defense (fighting infections and cancer)
Immune and Lymphatic System
Disposal of metabolic wastes; regulation of osmotic balance of the blood
Excretory System
The process of maintenance of salt and water balance across membranes within the body’s fluids, which are composed of water plus electrolytes and non-electrolytes.
Osmotic regulation
Question 12
  • Hypotonic (low salt solution) - a cell tends to swell due to intake of water
  • Hypertonic (high salt solution) - cells placed in in a hypertonic environment tend to shrink due to loss of water
  • Isotonic - have an equal concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell. Cell neither shrink nor swell
Covers the outside of the body and lines the organs and cavities within the body
Epithelial tissue
Binds and supports other tissues (cartilage, tendons, ligaments, bone, blood, adipose)
Connective tissue
Controls body movement (skeletal, smooth, cardiac)
Muscle tissue
