ANAT 100 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS!!
The Four areas of anatomy include...
Histology (microscopic features), gross anatomy (macroscopic features), neuroanatomy,
embryology
Smallest bone and muscle are found where
the middle ear
How is the body organized?
Chemical level- molecule is atoms bonded together
Cellular level- cells are the smallest living structure and are formed from atoms and molecules
Tissue level- tissues are similar cells that perform specialized functions
Organ level-organs are two or more tissues that work together to perform complex functions
Organ system level- related organs that work together to coordinate activities and achieve a
common function
Organismal level- all body systems function interdependently in a sin
axial skeleton
Portion of the skeletal system that consists of the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column
appendicular skeleton
Bones of the limbs and limb girdles that are attached to the axial skeleton
what is the integumentary system
skin, hair, nails
anatomical term for front facing (2 words)
anterior (ventral)
anatomical term for side facing
,lateral
anatomical term for back 2 words
posterior and dorsal

what is anatomical position
The body is erect, the feet are slightly apart, the head is held high, and the palms of the hands are
facing forward
directional terms:
-above or over
-below or under

what is parietal vs visceral
-parietal (indicating component of body walls including muscle, connective tissue and tissue
covering organs)
-visceral (lines outer surface of organs)
what is the saggital plane
divides body into left and right
What is the coronal plane?
divides body into front and back (anterior and posterior)
what is the horizontal plane
what is the oblique plane
divides body into top and bottom
passes through body at an angle
