Anatomy & Physiology Ch. 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The study of the body structures without the use of a microscope is known as | Gross Anatomy |
| For histologic anatomy, it is essential to use a | microscope |
| One of the branches of physiology is cytology, the study of | cells |
| The function of the excretory system is a major topic of a branch of physiology known as | Renal Physiology |
| At its most simple level of structure, the body is composed of | atoms |
| Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and water typify the level of structure of the body in which the main components are | molecules |
| The fundamental unit of all living things, including the human body is the | cell |
| A group of cells working together to perform the same function is | tissue |
| A type of tissue represented by the blood and bone tissue is | connective tissue |
| The organs of the body are lined with a type of tissue known as | epithelial |
| Various types of tissue work together in the human body to compose an | organ |
| The sum total of all chemical processes occurring in the body is | metabolism |
| Two general types of movement in the body are voluntary and | involuntary movement |
| to assist the process of movement of the body, the skeletal muscles are usually attached to | bones |
| The characteristic of conductivity is associated with muscle cells and | nerve cells |
| In addition to producing an entirely new individual, new cells are formed in the body for the three purposes of replacement, growth, and | repair |
| The processes working to maintain the body's internal environment within normal limits is called | homeostasis |
| Major chemical requirements of the human body for maintaining homeostasis include water, nutrients, and | oxygen |
| The body is erect with eyes forward, feet together, arms at the side and palms forward in the | anatomical position |
| The directional term used to describe the front of the body on the belly side is | ventral (anterior) |
| Although the term dorsal is sometimes used, the preferred term when referring to the back side of a human is | posterior |
| In anatomical nomenclature, the term superior refers to an aspect of the body toward the | head |
| The anatomical term referring to a side away from the midline is | lateral |
| The term proximal refers to a point close to where an extremity attaches to the body | trunk |
| Two structures on the same side of the body such as the left arm and left leg are said to be | ipsilateral |
| A vertical plane dividing the body into right and left sides represents a | sagittal plane |
| A longitudinal plane dividing the body into anterior and posterior portions is a frontal plane, also known as a | coronal plane |
| A horizontal plane divides the body into superior and inferior parts and is also known as a | transverse plane |
| A midsagittal plane divides the body into equal right and left halves, but if the halves are unequal the plane is said to be | parasagittal |
| The dorsal body cavity is subdivided into the spinal cavity and the | cranial cavity |
| The large dome-shaped muscle separating the abdominopelvic cavity from the thoracic cavity is the | diaphragm |
| Among the three major serous membranes of the body are the peritoneum, the pleura, and the | pericardium |
