1. Abdominal - ANSWER Refers to the abdomen—located between the thorax
and pelvic cavities. Contains the digestive tract, kidneys and adrenal glands.
2. abdominopelvic - ANSWER Body cavity made up of the abdomen and
pelvic regions.
3. Abduction - ANSWER Movement away from the midline of the body
4. Cyclosis - ANSWER The circular movement of the cytoplasm in the cell
(also called cytoplasmic streaming).
5. cytologist - ANSWER One who studies cells.
6. Cytology - ANSWER Branch of biology dealing with the study of the
structure and functions of the cell.
7. Cytoplasm - ANSWER Jelly-like substance of the cell
8. cytoplasmic streaming - ANSWER The motion of cytoplasm in a cell that
results in a coordinated movement of the cell's contents.
9. Deep - ANSWER Refers to a structure being away from the body surface—
inside the body.
,10.Diaphragm - ANSWER Muscle which separates the thoracic cavity from
the abdominal cavity.
11.Diffusion - ANSWER The movement of molecules from a region of high to
low concentration (may or may not be across a semi-permeable membrane).
12.Dissection - ANSWER Cutting apart for anatomical study.
13.Distal - ANSWER Refers to a structure being farther away from the median
plane (used only in reference to the limbs).
14.DNA - ANSWER Deoxyribonucleic acid—the genetic information found in
the chromosomes of the cell.
15.Dorsal - ANSWER The back of the body, located on or near the back of the
body (also posterior).
16.Embryo - ANSWER A fertilized egg.
17.Endoplasmic Reticulum - ANSWER Network of channels in the
cytoplasm—often referred to as the ER. Smooth ER has few or no
ribosomes; rough ER has numerous ribosomes.
18.Equilibrium - ANSWER Maintaining a balance; a state where the
concentration of substances is the same throughout a space.
,19.Extension - ANSWER Straightening a joint so the angle between two bones
increases (opposite of flexion).
20.Flexion - ANSWER Bending a joint so the angle between two bones
decreases (opposite of extension).
21.Frontal Plane - ANSWER Imaginary longitudinal (vertical) line that divides
the body into front and back halves (see coronal plane).
22.Golgi Bodies - ANSWER Stacks of flattened membranes in the cytoplasm
which acts as a processing and secreting organelle in the cell.
23.Adduction - ANSWER Movement toward the midline of the body
24.Albumen - ANSWER The "white" or clear part of the hen's egg—provides
water and protein to the developing chick embryo.
25.anatomical position - ANSWER To stand erect with arms at the sides and
palms of the hands turned forward
26.Anatomical - ANSWER relating to the structure of the body
27.Anterior - ANSWER front of the body
28.Posterior - ANSWER back of body
29.Articulation - ANSWER joint
, 30.axial plane - ANSWER Imaginary horizontal lines which divide the body
into upper and lower parts (also called transverse plane).
31.Biology - ANSWER the scientific study of life
32.cardiology - ANSWER The study of the disease and functioning of the
heart.
33.Caudal - ANSWER Below or toward the foot or tail end (also inferior).
34.Cell - ANSWER Basic unit of life
35.cell membrane - ANSWER Outside boundary of the cell
36.Chalazae - ANSWER White strands extending from the sides of the yolk—
help suspend the developing chick in the shell.
37.Chromatin - ANSWER Strands in the nucleus that become chromosomes
during cell division.
38.Chromosomes - ANSWER Form from the chromatin during cell division,
contain the DNA.
39.coronal plane - ANSWER Imaginary longitudinal (vertical) line that divides
the body into front and back halves. Also called frontal plane.
40.Cranial - ANSWER Above or toward the head end (also superior).
