| Anatomy | is the study of body structure |
| physiology | deals with body function |
| what are the three planes of the body | sagittal plane, coronal plane, transverse plane |
| The plane that divides the body into front and back portions is the _____ plane. | coronal |
| The space that encloses the brain and spinal cord forms one continuous cavity called the _____ cavity | dorsal |
| An example of a tissue in the body is | epithelium |
| Muscles are ________ to the skin | deep |
| The inguinal region lies | where the thigh joins the trunk |
| superior is | up |
| inferior is | down |
| anterior is | forward |
| posterior is | backward |
| lateral is | toward the side |
| medial is | toward the middle |
| proximal is | near the beginning |
| distal is | away from the beginning |
| The abdominopelvic cavity contains all of the following except the: | heart. |
| From smallest to largest, the levels of organization of the body are: | chemical, organelle, cellular, tissue, organ, system, organism. |
| Which of the following does not describe anatomical position? | Pinky is lateral as compared to the thumb |
| Which of the following is not one of the characteristics of life? | Balance |
| Hydrolysis _____ a water molecule. | breaks down compounds by adding |
| what is pH? | pH means the concentration of Hydrogen atoms |
| What does the pH of a solution measure? | It is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. |
| This membranous organelle is the site of protein synthesis for proteins that are secreted by the cell | rough endoplasmic reticulum |
| plasma membrane- | blocks the scene (fills up the space |
| mitochondria- | powerhouse of the cell |
| nucleus- | takes over controlling everything |
| Golgi apparatus- | organizes and sends information |
| ribosomes- | responsible for making protein |
| lysosomes- | break down waste |
| peroxisomes- | break down fat |
| Tiny indentations of the plasma membrane that resemble caves are called: | caveolae. |
| Stratum Basale (Basal Layer) | As the keratinocytes move upward from the stratum basale, they enter the stratum spinosum. The keratinocytes start to produce keratin filaments (cytokeratins), and these filaments begin to form bundles, making the cells stronger. |
| Stratum Granulosum (Granular Layer) | n the stratum granulosum, keratinocytes start to undergo a process called keratinization. They become more flattened and accumulate granules of keratohyalin, a precursor to keratin. |
| Stratum Lucidum (Clear Layer: | This layer is only present in thick skin (like the palms of the hands and soles of the feet). The cells are anucleate and dead, with a clear appearance due to the presence of keratin filaments that are densely packed and intertwined. |
| Stratum Corneum (Horny Layer) | The outermost layer, composed of many layers of dead, flattened, and fully keratinized cells, called corneocytes. These cells are filled with keratin and are surrounded by a lipid matrix that helps to prevent water loss and protect the |
