UMN ANAT 3001 EXAM 1 LATEST 2025/2026
ACTUAL FALL SEMESTER EXAM (ALREADY
GRADED A) SOLVED
anatomy
structure of the human body
gross anatomy
macroscopic anatomy
histology
microscopic anatomy
embryology
study of development before birth
pathology
study of structural changes in cells, tissues, and organs caused by disease or trauma
serial homologues
repeating structures like ribs, long bones in extremities, vertebrae, carpals
anatomical position
standing upright, toes pointing forward, palm of hands facing forward, eyes facing forward, and
arms at the sides
median plane
AKA midsagittal plane; divides structure into right and left portions
frontal plane
AKA coronal plane; divides structure into anterior and posterior portions
transverse plane
,AKA axial plane; divides structure into superior and inferior portions
anterior
towards the front of the body (ventral)
posterior
towards back of body (dorsal)
superior
towards the head (cranial)
inferior
towards the feet (caudal)
medial
toward the midline
lateral
away from the midline
proximal
closer to the origin of the body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
distal
farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
superficial
near the surface
deep
away from the surface
4 types of bodily tissues
epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
, each tissue is composed of
cells and extracellular matrix (ECM)
cells are specific to the ________ of each tissue
function
_________ composition supports function
ECM
ratio of ______:_______ depends on the function
cells:ECM
structure =
function
epithelial tissue
- lining of a surface
- MANY cells + little ECM
- 2 types (membranous and glandular)
membranous epithelial tissue
covers exposed surfaces; lines body surfaces, lines inside and outside of hollow organs, and
lines body cavities
characteristics of glandular tissue
- continuous with membranous epithelium
- made of epithelial cells that made and secrete a product
- 2 types of glands -> exocrine and endocrine
exocrine glands
- have ducts, secrete locally onto surfaces or in cavities
- unicellular or multicellular
endocrine glands
