Zemlin's figure - (ANSWER)Living body standing, facing the observer, eyes front, arms at the side with
palms of the hands and tips of the feet directed forward.
prone - (ANSWER)lying face down
supine - (ANSWER)lying face up
dorsal - (ANSWER)toward the backbone/away from the front of the body
ventral - (ANSWER)away from the backbone/ toward the front of the body
anterior - (ANSWER)toward the front/ away from the back
posterior - (ANSWER)toward the back / away from the front
superficial - (ANSWER)toward the surface (different from superior/exterior)
deep - (ANSWER)away from the surface (different than interior; internal)
superior - (ANSWER)upper
inferior - (ANSWER)lower
cranial - (ANSWER)toward the head (sometimes called rostral)
,SLHS 3400 Exam 1 Questions With Complete Solutions
caudal - (ANSWER)toward the tail, away from the head (discussing the trunk)
external - (ANSWER)toward the outer surface (superficial)
internal - (ANSWER)toward the inner surface (deep)
medial - (ANSWER)toward the axis/midline
lateral - (ANSWER)away from the axis/midline
proximal - (ANSWER)toward the body/ toward the root of a free extremity
central - (ANSWER)situated at the center
peripheral - (ANSWER)toward the outward surface or part
coronal plane (frontal) - (ANSWER)divides the body into anterior/posterior portions; a vertical plane that
intersects the median sagittal plane at right angles and is parallel to the forehead; divides the body into
the front and back.
sagittal plane - (ANSWER)divides the body into left/right portions (can be considered "mid-" or "para-"
transverse plane - (ANSWER)cross-sectional; divides the body into superior/inferior portions; with the
body in the anatomical position, a horizontal plane that divides the body into upper and lower parts
(cross-sectional) ; when this cut divides the body into upper/lower halves, it is referred to as the "mid-"
place or horizontal plane
midsagittal (or medial) plane - (ANSWER)refers to a sagittal cut down the CENTER
cell - (ANSWER)fundamental unit of human body composition
, SLHS 3400 Exam 1 Questions With Complete Solutions
tissue - (ANSWER)group of cells and surrounding materials working together; colony of cells, similar in
structure and function; classified based on structure and function; some basic types include epithelium,
connective, muscular, and neural
organ - (ANSWER)greater than or equal to 2 tissues forming a somewhat independent structure with a
specific function
system - (ANSWER)two or more organs combined to accomplish a function
nucleus - (ANSWER)large organelle, houses DNA
autoplasm - (ANSWER)contents between nucleus and plasma
membrane - (ANSWER)encloses cytosol and organelles
cell membrane - (ANSWER)barrier surrounding each cell; selective permeability; movement across the
membrane by either by passive/active processes
epithelium, connective, muscular, neural - (ANSWER)What are the basic tissue types we discussed in
class?
epithelium tissue - (ANSWER)covers the body surface, lines hollow organs, body cavities and ducts;
forms glands; often located in areas subject to abrasion and drying
- has different nerve structures/sensors
- barrier of larynx
- measures the temperature/moisture of air
- provides a barrier from the outside world
covering and lining epithelium - (ANSWER)usually sheets of tissues, covers external body surface, lines
tubes and passages leading out, lines internal body cavities
anatomy - (ANSWER)The study of the structure of organisms and the relations of their parts.
