CSD 155 EXAM 1 VERIFIED STUDY GUIDE
anatomy - Answers - study of the STRUCTURE of organisms
Physiology - Answers - the study of the FUNCTION of living organisms
clinical anatomy - Answers - anatomy as related to pathological entity, and especially as
related to surgery
subfields of anatomy - Answers - - clinical
- comparative
- embryology
- descriptive *most important
descriptive anatomy - Answers - anatomy as related to the systems of the body
system - Answers - a group of organs that function together for some purpose (cells
make up tissue, tissues make up organs, group of organs operate in a systemic fashion)
anatomical systems - Answers - muscular systems, digestive systems, respiratory
system, skeletal system, reproductive, urine, endocrine systems, nervous system,
special senses
terms of orientation - Answers - - coronal plane
- sagittal plane
- transverse plane
transverse plane - Answers - split at waist, bottom and top
sagittal plane - Answers - splits left and right
coronal plane - Answers - splits at crown on head, front and back
superior - Answers - above
inferior - Answers - below
anterior - Answers - front
posterior - Answers - back
proximal - Answers - close to center
distal - Answers - away from center
, aDDuct - Answers - close
aBDuct - Answers - open
dorsal - Answers - back of body
ventral - Answers - belly of body
medial - Answers - middle, midline
lateral - Answers - away from midline
tissues - Answers - aggregate of cells of same type with functional unity
four types of tissue - Answers - epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous
epithelial tissue - Answers - outer layer (skin layer), linings of cavities, protective quality
3 types of epithelial tissue - Answers - epithelial tissue proper
endothelial tissue
mesothelial tissue
3 types of connective tissue - Answers - 1. loose connective
2. dense connective tissue (tendons: attatch muscle to bone/ cartilage; ligaments;
fascia; reticular tissues)
3. special connective tissue (cartilage; bone: hardest)
muscular tissue - Answers - - striated (skeletal, voluntary, somatic)
- smooth (involuntary, autonomic)
- cardiac (involuntary, autonomic)
somatic muscle - Answers - voluntary muscle, conscious movement
visceral muscle - Answers - smooth muscle, involuntary function
fast twitch fibers - Answers - - contract quickly
- are for fine movement
- fatigue easily
slow twitch fibers - Answers - - larger movements
- exert greater force
- move more slowly
- have greater endurance
- antigravity muscles for trunk
