Veracity - correct answer -Truthfulness; not lying to the patient.
Nonmaleficence - correct answer -Of no harm to the patient.
Anatomy (uh-NAT-uh-mee) - correct answer -Study of the shape and structure of the human body.
,Appendicular (ap-en-DIK-yoo-ler) - correct answer -Pertaining to the body region that consists of the
arms and legs.
Axial (AK-see-ul) - correct answer -Referring to the body region that comprises the head, neck, and
trunk.
Cytoplasm (SI-toe-plaz-em) - correct answer -Gel-like fluid inside the cell.
Dorsal cavity - correct answer -Cavity located in the back of the body.
Epithelial (ep-i-THEE-lee-ul) tissue - correct answer -Type of tissue that forms the covering of all body
surfaces.
Frontal plane - correct answer -Vertical plane that divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior
(back) portions.
Horizontal plane - correct answer -Plane that divides the body into superior (upper) and inferior (lower)
portions.
Midsagittal plane - correct answer -Imaginary line that divides the patient's [face] into equal right and
left sides.
Parietal (puh-RYE-e-tul) - correct answer -Pertaining to the walls of a body cavity.
Sagittal (SADJ-ih-tal) plane - correct answer -Any vertical plane parallel to the midline that divides the
body into unequal left and right portions.
Ventral cavity - correct answer -Cavity located at the front of the body.
Four main tissue types have been identified in the human body: - correct answer -(1) epithelial, (2)
connective, (3) muscle, and (4) nerve tissue
Epithelial tissue - correct answer -Epithelial tissue forms a covering for the external and internal body
surfaces (e.g., the skin on the outside of the body, the lining of the oral cavity and intestines). The
purposes of epithelial cells are to (1) provide protection, (2) produce secretions, and (3) regulate the
passage of materials across them. Some epithelial cells are specialized, meaning that they have special
functions associated with skin color, hair, nails, mucous production, and sweat regulation.
Connective tissue - correct answer -is the major support material of the body. It provides support for the
body and connects its organs and tissues. Fat, tendons, ligaments, bone, cartilage, blood, and lymph are
all types of connective tissue. Specific types of connective tissue can store fat, destroy bacteria, produce
blood cells, and develop antibodies against infection and disease.
Muscle tissue - correct answer -Muscle tissue has the ability to lengthen and shorten and thus move
body parts. Skeletal muscles are either voluntary or involuntary. For example, when you decide when to
move your arms or legs, the muscle movement is voluntary. However, the beating of your heart, the
, churning of your stomach, and changes in the pupils of your eyes are controlled by involuntary muscle
movements.
Nerve tissue - correct answer -Nerve tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is responsible
for coordinating and controlling many body activities. It stimulates muscle contraction and plays a major
role in emotions, memory, and reasoning. Nerve tissue also has the unique ability to react to
environmental changes, such as heat, cold, light, or pressure. Nerve tissue carries messages from all
areas of the body to the brain and from the brain to all areas of the body. To perform these functions,
cells in nerve tissue must communicate with each other by way of electrical nerve impulses.
The human body has 10 systems: - correct answer -(1) skeletal, (2) muscular, (3) cardiovascular
(including lymphatic and immune systems), (4) nervous, (5) respiratory, (6) digestive, (7) endocrine, (8)
urinary, (9) integumentary (skin), and (10) reproductive.
The axial skeleton - correct answer -The axial skeleton (80 bones) consists of the skull, spinal column,
ribs, and sternum. Its function is to protect the major organs of the nervous, respiratory, and circulatory
systems.
The appendicular skeleton - correct answer -The appendicular skeleton (126 bones) consists of the
upper extremities and shoulder area plus the lower extremities and pelvic area. It protects the organs of
digestion and reproduction.
Skeletal System
206 bones - correct answer -Protection, support, and shape; hematopoietic; storage of certain minerals
Muscular System - correct answer -*Striated, smooth, and cardiac muscle
*Holding body erect, locomotion, movement of body fluids, production of body heat, communication
Cardiovascular System - correct answer -*Heart, arteries, veins, blood
*Respiratory, nutritive, excretory
Lymphatic and immune systems - correct answer -*White blood cells; lymph fluid, vessels, and nodes;
spleen and tonsils
*Defense against disease, conservation of plasma proteins and fluid, lipid absorption
Nervous system - correct answer -*Central and peripheral nervous systems, special sense organs
*Reception of stimuli, transmission of messages, coordinating mechanism
Respiratory system - correct answer -*Nose, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, epiglottis, larynx, trachea,
bronchi, and lungs
*Transport of oxygen to cells, excretion of carbon dioxide and some water wastes
Digestive System - correct answer -*Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and accessory
organs
*Digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, elimination of solid wastes
Urinary system - correct answer -*Kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra
