Questions and simplified correct
Answers
anatomy - correct answer-the study of an organism and the relationships of its parts; derived from two
word parts that mean "cutting apart"; dissection
dissection - correct answer-process of cutting the human body apart for learning
physiology - correct answer-the study of the functions of living organisms and their parts
scientific method - correct answer-systematic approach to discovery; 1) propose hypothesis - idea or
principle to be tested 2) experimentation - series of tests of a hypothesis (a controlled experiment
eliminates biases or outside influences) 3) theory or law - a hypothesis that has been supported by
experiments and thus shown to have a high degree of confidence
experimental controls - correct answer-used to ensure that the test situation is not affecting the results
test group - correct answer-The experimental group that is exposed to the variable in an experiment.
control group - correct answer-the group that does not receive the experimental treatment.
theory or law - correct answer-a hypothesis that has gained a high level of confidence
levels of organization - correct answer-chemical level , organelle level, cellular level, tissue level, organ
level, organ system level, organism level
chemical level - correct answer-atoms and molecules
cells - correct answer-smallest "living" units of structure and function; organizations of various chemicals
tissues - correct answer-an organization of many cells that act together to perform a common function
organs - correct answer-a group of several different kinds of tissues arranged in ways that allow them to
act as a unit to perform a special function
systems - correct answer-an organization of varying numbers and kinds of organs that can work together
to perform complex functions for the body
organism - correct answer-organization of all systems together, forming a whole body
microbiome - correct answer-set of interacting communities of bacteria and other microorganisms that
inhabit the human body; influences normal body funtion
structure fits function - correct answer-anatomical parts have structures exactly suited to perform
specific functions
, anatomical position - correct answer-To stand erect with arms at the sides and palms of the hands
turned forward; head also points forward, as do the feet, which are aligned at the toe and set slightly
apart
bilateral symmetry - correct answer-the left and right sides of the body roughly mirror each other
supine - correct answer-body is lying face upward
prone - correct answer-body is lying face downward
superior - correct answer-toward the head; upper, above
inferior - correct answer-toward the feet; lower, below
anterior - correct answer-front; in front of; ventral
posterior - correct answer-back; in back of; dorsal
medial - correct answer-toward the midline of the body
lateral - correct answer-toward the side of the body or away from its midline
proximal - correct answer-toward or nearest the trunk of the body, or nearest the point of origin of one
of its parts
distal - correct answer-away from or farthest from the trunk or the point of origin of a body part
superficial - correct answer-nearer the surface
deep - correct answer-farther away from the body surface
sagittal plane - correct answer-a sagittal cut or sections runs along a lengthwise plane running from front
to back. it divides the body or any of its parts into left and right sides
midsagittal plane - correct answer-divides the body into two equal halves vertically
frontal (coronal) plane - correct answer-lengthwise plane running from side to side; divides the body or
any of its parts into anterior and posterior (front and back) portions
transverse plane - correct answer-horizontal or crosswise plane; divides the body or any of its parts into
upper and lower portions
oblique plane - correct answer-a cut along a plane that is not parallel to the other planes; slanted
body cavities - correct answer-made up of open spaces or cavities that often contain well-ordered
arrangements of internal organs
dorsal body cavities - correct answer-cranial and spinal
ventral body cavities - correct answer-thoracic, pleural, mediastinum, diaphragm, abdominal,
abdominopelvic, pelvic
cranial cavity - correct answer-space inside the skull that contains the braine
spinal cavity - correct answer-space inside the vertebral column that contains the spinal cord
