Anatomy and physiology is the single most heavily weighted area of the TEAS Science section, so it is worth a page of its own. Questions move system by system — cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, digestive and the rest — and test how a system does its job and how it connects to the others. A strong A&P score often carries the whole Science section.
What anatomy and physiology covers on the TEAS 7
- The levels of organisation: cells, tissues, organs and systems
- Cardiovascular and respiratory systems and how gas exchange links them
- The nervous and endocrine systems and how the body signals and regulates
- Digestive, urinary and reproductive systems
- The skeletal, muscular and integumentary systems
- Homeostasis: how the body holds internal conditions steady
- Directional and anatomical terminology (superior, distal, anterior and the rest)
Where candidates lose marks
Learning organs in isolation. TEAS questions test how systems work together — the heart, lungs and blood as one pathway.
Mixing up the endocrine (hormones, slow) and nervous (electrical, fast) control systems.
Guessing on directional terms. They are quick marks if you know them cold and easy to lose if you don't.
