STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE BODY
16TH EDITION TEST BANK QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS
Anatomy - ANS-The study of body structure
Physiology - ANS-The study of body function
Anterior vs Posterior - ANS-Anterior (front), posterior (back)
Superior vs. Inferior - ANS-Superior: Towards head
Inferior: Towards feet
Midline - ANS-An imaginary line drawn down the center of the body, dividing it into right and left halves.
Medial vs. Lateral - ANS-Medial: towards the midline
Lateral: away from the midline
proximal vs distal - ANS-Proximal: closer to the trunk
Distal: farther from the trunk
Deep vs. Superficial - ANS-Deep- away from the surface
Superficial- on the surface
Central vs. Peripheral - ANS-at the center vs. toward the outer surface
flexion vs extension - ANS-Flexion: decrease angle
Extension: increase angle
abduction vs adduction - ANS-Abduction - away from midline
Adduction - towards midline
medial rotation and lateral - ANS-medial; rotate towards midline lateral; rotate away from midline
Explain body planes - ANS-pane of glass that divides the body
posterier cavity (dorsal cavity) UPPER BODY - ANS-*cranial cavity- contains brain
*vertebral cavity-spinal cord
, Anterior cavity LOWER BODY - ANS-Theoratic cavity:
plural cavity contains lungs lined by pleurad
mediastinum cav; contains heart lined by pericardium
Abdominopelvic cavity; contains stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas
Pelvic cavity: reproductive
Homeostatis - ANS-process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environment
negative feedback loop - ANS-A feedback loop that causes a system to change in the opposite direction
from which it is moving
positive feedback loop - ANS-feedback loop that causes a system to change further in the same direction
(childbirth) rarely used
dynamic eqilibrium - ANS-maintaining stable environment
atoms - ANS-smallest unit of matter
molecules - ANS-two or more atoms joined together
macramolecules - ANS-large molecules
organelles - ANS-A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell
Cells - ANS-The basic unit of structure and function in all living things
tissues - ANS-Groups of cells with a common structure and function.
organs - ANS-Groups of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or related functions
organ system - ANS-A group of organs that work together to perform a major function.
organism - ANS-A living thing
what's in Upper right quad - ANS-Liver, galbladder, right kidney
Left upper quad - ANS-stomach, spleen, pancreas, left kidney
lower right quad - ANS-appendix, small intestines
lower left quad - ANS-small intestines
Regions - ANS-study paper
partiel pleura - ANS-attaches to chest wall
