(Anatomy) questions
fully solved & updated
List levels of structural organization in human body - answer 1. chemical
2. cellular
3. tissue
4. organ
5. organ system
6. organismal
tissue level - answer 1. tissue = similar types of cells and associated extracellular
material
e.g. epithelial tissue forms the lining of blood vessels
tissue level - answer
organ level - answer 1. made up of multiple tissue types
2. include blood vessels, liver, brain, femur
4 types of macromolecules - answer carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids
4 types of tissues: - answer epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
made up all organ of human body
e.g.
epithelium: covers body surface and line its cavity
connective: support body and protect organs
muscle: provide movement
, nervous: fast internal communication by electrical impulses
Superior (cranial or cephalad) - answer 1. toward the head
2. upper part of a structure or the body
3. above
inferior (caudal) - answer 1. away from the head
2. toward lower part of a structure or body
3. below
directional term - answer a term used to explain the relation of one or more body
parts
Ventral (anterior) - answer 1. toward
2. at the front of the body
dorsal (posterior) - answer toward or at the backside of the body
behind
Medial - answer toward the midline
lateral - answer Away from the midline of the body
intermediate - answer between a more medial and a more lateral structure
Proximal - answer Closer to the point of attachment
Distal - answer farther from the origin of a body part or the point of attachment of
a limb to the body trunk
median (midsagittal) plane - answer sagittal plane that lies exactly in the midline
-> other planes are para sagittal plan
