and Answers graded A+
Abdominopelvic Regions - ansUmbilical, Epigastric, Hypograstic, Iliac (right/left), Lumbar (right/left),
Hypochondriac
Anatomical Position - ansBody facing forward; Palms facing out; thumbs pointing away from body
Anatomy - ansstudy of the structure of body parts and their relationships to one another
Anterior - anstowards or at the front of the body; in front of
Body Planes and Sections - ans
Cellular Anatomy - ansconsiders the cells of the body
Circulatory System ( Cardiovascular System) - ansblood vessels transport blood, which carries oxygen, carbon
dioxide, nutrients, wastes, etc.. heart pumps blood
Deep (internal) - ansaway from the body surface; more internal
Developmental Anatomy - anstraces the structural changes in individual from conception through old age
Digestive System - ansbreaks down food into absorbable units that enter the blood for distribution to body cells;
indigestible food are eliminated as feces
Distal - ansfarther from the origin of a body part of the point of attachment of a limb to the body trunk
Dorsal and Ventral Body Cavities and their Subdivisions - ans
, Endocrine System - ansglands secrete hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction and
nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells
Gross Anatomy - ansthe study of large body structures visible to the naked eye
Histology - ansConsiders the tissues of the body
Homeostasis - ansmaintenance of stable internal conditions; dynamic state of equilibrium
Homeostatic Control Mechanism - ans
Inferior - ansAway from the head end or towards the lower part of a structure of the body; below
Integumentary System - ansforms the external body covering; protects deeper tissues from injury; synthesizes
vitamin D; sight of cutaneous ( pain, pressure, etc) receptors and sweat and oil glands
Intermediate - ansbetween a more medial and a more lateral structure
Lateral - ansaway from the midline of the body; on the outer side of
Levels of Structural Organization - ans
Lymphatic System/Immunity - anspicks up fluid leaked from blood vessels and return it to blood, disposes of
debris in the lymphatic stream, houses white blood cells (lymphocytes) involved in immunity. the immune
response mounts to attack against foreign substances within the body
Medial - anstowards or at the midline of the body; on the inner side of
