lying down, face up. ANSWER - What is supine position?
lying down, face down. ANSWER - What is prone position?
Right upper quadrant (RUQ)
Left upper quadrant (LUQ)
Right lower quadrant (RLQ)
,Left lower quadrant (LLQ). ANSWER - What are the 4 abdominopelvic quadrants?
RUQ : gallbladder
LUQ: stomach
RLQ: appendix
LLQ: intestines. ANSWER - What are the main organs in each of the
abdominopelvic quadrants?
superior: closer to head
inferior: closer to feet
anterior: closer to front
posterior: closer to back
medial: closer to middle of the body
lateral: closer to sides of the body
superficial: closer to surface
deep: farther from surface
proximal: near
distal: far. ANSWER - What are the anatomical directions?
sagittal cut. ANSWER - What cut in sectional anatomy separates left and right?
midsagittal cut. ANSWER - What cut in sectional anatomy separates left and right
equally?
parasagittal cut. ANSWER - What cut in sectional anatomy separates left and right
unequally?
transverse cut. ANSWER - What cut in sectional anatomy separates superior and
inferior?
, frontal cut. ANSWER - What cut in sectional anatomy separates anterior and
posterior?
oblique cut. ANSWER - What cut in sectional anatomy separates tissue at an angle?
the inner portion of the cell. ANSWER - What is cytoplasm?
the fluid inside the cell. ANSWER - What is cytosol?
the outer membrane of the cell. ANSWER - What is the plasmalemma(cell
membrane, phospholipid bilayer)?
nonmembranous and membranous organelles. ANSWER - What are the two
categories of organelles?
cytoskeleton, microvilli, cilia, flagella, and ribosomes. ANSWER - What are the
nonmembranous organelles?
mitochondria, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and
peroxisomes. ANSWER - What are the membranous organelles?
physical isolation (separating outside and inside of the cell), permeability (regulation
of exchange with the environment), and cell-to-cell communication. ANSWER -
What are the functions of the plasmalemma?
vesicles bringing solid particles(bacteria, viruses, foreign matter, and cell debris) into
the cell. ANSWER - What is phagocytosis?
fingerlike projections of the plasmalemma that absorb material from the ECF and
increases surface area. ANSWER - What are microvilli and their function?
fluid outside the cell. ANSWER - What is extracellular fluid?
