Anatomy - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The study of the
body's structure
Physiology - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The Study of the
body's functioning
Levels of human body (smallest to largest) - CORRECT
ANSWERS ✔✔Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ
system, organismal
11 Basic systems that make up human body - CORRECT
ANSWERS ✔✔Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Respiratory,
Cardiovascular, Digestive, Urinary, Immune(lymphatic),
Integumentary, Endocrine, Reproductive (male and
female)
Anterior (Ventral) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Front/
Direction toward front of body
,Posterior (Dorsal) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Back/
Direction toward back of body
Superior (Cranial) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Position
above/ higher than another part of the body
Inferior (Caudal) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Position below
or lower then another part of the body proper; near or
toward the tail
Lateral - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Side or direction toward
the side of the body
Medial - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Middle or direction
toward middle of the body
Proximal - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Position in a limb that
is nearer to the point of attachment or trunk of the body.
Distal - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Position in a limb that is
farther from the point of attachment or the trunk of the
body
Superficial - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Position closer to the
surface of the body
,Deep - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Position farther from the
surface of the body
What percent of body weight does skeletal system
account for? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔20%
Humans have a vertebral column (backbone) so they are
classified as what? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔vertebrates
The bones of the skeleton are divided into two divisions: -
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔axial and appendicular
Axial skeleton is comprised of - CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔Head and trunk of the body. It includes the skull,
vertebral column (spine), and rib cage. Bones along the
center, or axis, of the body. Bones of the extremities. It is
appended to the axial skeleton.
Appendicular skeleton is comprised of - CORRECT
ANSWERS ✔✔remaining bones that are not axial so the
bones of the limbs (arms, legs, hands, feet) and
girdles(shoulder and pelvic)
, How many bones in adult human skeleton - CORRECT
ANSWERS ✔✔206
Compact bone tissue - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔forms the
extremely hard outside layer of bones. Gives bones their
smooth, dense, solid appearance. Accounts for 80% of
total bone mass of adult skeleton
Spongy bone tissue - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Fills part or
all of interior of bones. It is porous like a sponge, with
irregular networks of spaces. Much less dense than
compact bones. Greater surface area than compact bones
but only 20% of bone mass.
Five classifications of bones based on size and structure -
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Long bones, short bones, flat
bones, irregular bones, sesamoid bones
Long Bones - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔consist of long
shaft, are cylindrical in cross-section, and usually
expanded at either end. Mostly comprised of compact
bone but have spongy bone within ends. ACT AS LEVERS
FOR THE SKELETAL MUSCLES TO ACT UPON.
Short Bones - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Generally equal in
width and length. Mainly composed of spongy bone
