Question
Answer
The body obtains materials from the environment and increases its mass in the process of   Growth  
🗑
The characteristic of conductivity is associated with 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 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  
🗑
at its most simple level of structure, the body is composed of   atoms  
🗑
carbohydrates, protein, 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 a   tissue

a type of tissue represented by the blood and bone tissue is   connective  
🗑
the organ 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 occuring in the body is   metabolism  
🗑
two general types of movement in the body are voluntary and   involuntary  
🗑
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 three purposes of replacement, growth and   repair  
🗑
the processes working to maintain the body's internal environment within normal limits is called   homeostatisis  
🗑
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 is   anatomical position  
🗑
the directional term used to describe the front of the body on the belly side is   anterior  
🗑
in the anatomical nomenclature, the term superior refers to an aspect of the body towards 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 anterior and posterior portions is a frontal plane, also known as 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 a left halves are teh   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  
🗑
Nearer to or at the front of the body   Anterior (ventral) Sternum is anterior to the heart  
🗑
Nearer to or at the back of the body   Posterior (dorsal) esophagus is posterior to the trachea  
🗑
Toward the head or the upper part of a structure; upper part of a structure generally refers to structures in the trunck   Superior (cephalic or cranial) heart is superior to the liver  
🗑
Away from the head or toward the lower part of the structure; generally refers to structures in the trunk   Inferior (caudal) stomach is inferior to the lungs  
🗑
Nearer to the midline of the body or a structure   Medial Ulna is on the medial side of the forearm  
🗑
away from the midline of the body   Ipsilateral - gallbladder and ascending colon of the large intestine are ipsilateral  
🗑
on the opposite of the body   contralateral ascending and descending colons of the large intestine are contralateral  
🗑
nearer to the attachment of an extremeity to the trunk or structure   Proximal - femur is proximal to the tibia  
🗑
farther from the attachment of an extremity to the trunk of a structure   distal - phalanges are distal to the carpals (wrist bones)  
🗑
toward the surface of the body   superficial - muscles of the thoracic wall are superior to the viscera in the thoracic cavity  
🗑
away from the surface of the body   deep - ribs are deep to the skin of the chest  
🗑
Integumentary   Covers the body and protects it - skin, hair, nails, and sweat glands
