SOLUTIONS GRADED A A+
⩥ Abdominopelvic Cavity. Answer: Division of the anterior (ventral)
cavity that houses the abdominal and pelvic viscera.
⩥ Anatomical Position. Answer: A standard reference position used for
describing location and directions on the human body.
⩥ Anatomy. Answer: Science that studies the form and composition of
the the body's structures.
⩥ Anterior Cavity. Answer: Larger body cavity located anterior to the
posterior (dorsal) body cavity; includes the serous membrane-lined
pleural cavities of the lungs, pericardial cavity of the heart, and
peritoneal cavity for the abdominal and pelvic organs; also referred to as
ventral cavity.
⩥ Atom. Answer: The basic unit that makes up all matter.
⩥ Body Plane. Answer: An imaginary lines drawn through the body to
separate the body into sections.
, ⩥ Caudal. Answer: Describes a position below or lower than another
part of the body proper; near or toward the tail (in humans, the coccyx,
or lowest part of the spinal column); also refer to as inferior
⩥ Cell. Answer: Smallest independently functioning unit of all
organisms; in animals, it contains cytoplasm, composed of fluid and
organelles
⩥ Control Center. Answer: Compares values to their normal range;
deviations cause the activation of an effector
⩥ Coronal Section. Answer: Divides the body into dorsal and ventral
(back and front, or posterior and anterior) portions; also referred to as
frontal portion
⩥ Cranial. Answer: Describes a position above or higher than another
part of the body proper; also referred to as superior
⩥ Cranial Cavity. Answer: Division of the posterior (dorsal) cavity that
houses the brain
⩥ Cross Section. Answer: In anatomy, a transverse cut through a
structure or tissue.
