| The concept of living organisms are self-organizing or self-maintaining and nonliving structures are not, is called | autopoiesis |
| This theory states that any independent structure made up of one or more microscopic units called cells is a living organism. | cell theory |
| "Tiny organs" that allow each cell to live, and cannot survive outside of the cell. | organelles |
| The "powerhouses" of cells that provide energy needed by the cell to carry on day-to-day functioning, growth, and repair. | mitochondria |
| The plane that divides the body into front and back portions is the _________ plane. | coronal |
| Anatomy is defined as the study of the ________ of a living organism. | structure |
| Which branch of anatomy studies the structural changes that occur as one ages? | development anatomy |
| The sternal region is ________ to the scapular region. | anterior |
| The body as a whole can be subdivided into two major divisions. They are: | axial and appendicular |
| The water molecule has two distinct ends, each with a partial electrical charge. Because of this structure, water is said to be: | polar |
| An element that contains the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons is called a(n) | isotope |
| The most abundant element essential to life is | carbon |
| The atomic number tells you the | number of protons in the nucleus |
| The process of digestion of food is an example of which type of reaction? | Decomposition |
| The approximate pH of gastric fluid is | 2 |
| The stability of the atom when there are eight electrons in the outermost energy level is called | the octet rule |
| Substances that accept hydrogen ions are called | bases |
| Ribosomes may be either free within cytoplasm or bound to a membrane system known as the | rough endoplasmic reticulum |
| This organelle has both a cis and trans face, and processes and packages material to be secreted. | Golgi apparatus |

| The epidermis is composed of several types of epithelial cells. One type, called keratinocytes, become filled with a tough, fibrous protein called | keratin |
| The dense, white fibrous membrane that covers bone except at joint surfaces is the | periosteum |

| Which bone is the longest and heaviest bone in the body? | femur |
| Open spaces partially filled by an assemblage of needle-like structures are referred to as | spongy bone |
